#219…Jump Starting Christmas June 28…Not My Fault!

It is not my fault that yesterday I had to save myself from the embarrassment of being THREE DAYS LATE with my Christmas decor because Tammie Jones posted a fb video of Darryl working on his Christmas lights..LIT lights! So I had to get these lit wrapped packages out on my patio just to save face! They were sooo lovely last night, though a bit confusing next to all my bloomin’ wild flowers. Rest assured I do have 80% of my gifts, and of those 75% wrapped. I just got a little sloppy remembering that June 25th had come and gone! What was I thunking!?

It seems like with God, it is Christmas constantly. I cannot say enough about the joy of the Lord! I’m praising Him in all things…especially the tuff stuff. If I can just focus on Him, I’ve got his attention. If you haven’t experienced the love of our God, you are missing out. He directs my path. My prayers wrap my family in His arms…believing….

Sometimes when life gets complicated, I have to step back, stop and ask…what is different? If you own a horse and it colics, you know this is a life and death situation and you’ll find your answer in that very question. The answer is…back to the basics, and KISS…keep it simple. stupid.

I have become too distracted, too much to do…too many obligations, too spread out too thin…except for my body (tooo fat) It is amazing that that video with the Jones snapped something in my mind that I am going back to the passions God has put in me, my giftings…

3 blogs in 4 days…I’M BACK! Cleaning out the garage…the furniture waiting to be painted, cleaning out the kitchen cupboards of everything I never use. Christmas is coming, preparing for the crisp fall days, washing walls, windows…daily weeding outside, preparing for fall plantings. Oh my! I am in my happy place.

Garage saling tomorrow! ! ! The hunt for the treasure!
