Who do you think you are?

As life events in our family, and others, are unpredictable and unexplainable I feel God teaching me a humbling lesson on who I am. Could it be that God is actually in control of all the events in my life? Even the difficult ones? I see it was that way for Jesus, so who do I think I am?

I love the humbling passages in Job 38-41. When I first started reading it I thought, 'Wow, Job was such a good guy, and God let him have it!' Then after I re-read multiple times 38:v1-3, I thought, 'What did Job say to set God off like this?!' And then I saw it... Job 27, 28, 29, 30, and 30 contain Job's defense. Later, young Elihu says in Job 32:2 that 'He (Elihu) burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God.' The following chapters in Job are Elihu and God's response to his defense.

This gives me chills... Who do I think I am?  I am thankful that God is merciful to hear me and hold me through all trying times. He never leaves nor forsakes. Even when I make my defense that I deserve something. His plans are OBVIOUSLY (read Job 38-14 or the whole bible for proof) higher and more perfect that I can ever know.

Who am I? I am my beloved's and He is mine (Song of Solomon 2:16) just as God loves Jesus, he loves me. Now I must abide in His love (John 15:9).

Good Greeness, it's living lettuce!

Lunch break here, eating a sandwich with 'living lettuce' and Aldi turkey lunchmeat. This is a funny combination since one is hip and pricey and the other is poor-man meat. I thought to recommend living lettuce to those who often discover their bagged lettuce had pre-maturely retired. If you can swing about $3 for a head of lettuce, it'll last you up to 18 days. My Auntie Cheryle recommended it to me years ago, and it's a perfect mate to a workday sandwich. 

Need more convincing, here's a reader's digest article with details.

You know, I think Aldi lunch meat has a pretty long shelf life too :)

Target Blues!

Truly, Target and I have the blues! I keep telling myself that once I find the perfect blue throw pillows at Target, I'm buying them! No matter what the price... well, as you can see it's blue season at Target! And now it's time to make some decisions while the blues are in stock.

One thought would be to buy either the placemat and rework it into a pillow? Or maybe get the fabric shower curtain and sew that into a pillow? As you can see, I'm definitely trying for the best price. Guess I could look at actual fabric too...
