Peace be with you...

I've had a lot of different things going through my mind lately.  Some concerning, some worrisome and others just very random.  We have a lovely lady at work named Debbie who sends out what she calls the "Word of the Day" 

Here was yesterdays:

“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,…whatever things are of good report,…meditate on these things….  And the God of peace will be with you.”   Philippians 4:8-9

Meditating on the good things of life means that your mind is dominated by…good ideas, concepts, and insights.  What does this mean to us in a practical sense?  When we choose to think about those things that inspire us, encourage us, teach us, and build us up emotionally, we find that we want to follow God’s will and we will desire to remain faithful to Him.  When we choose to think about the majesty and glory of God, we rely upon Him with increasing faith and trust.

It doesn't matter when she send it out it always has relevance in what is going on in my daily life.  I felt like this one was just a reminder that I should not worry about things that are not in my control.  I must, I know now and I admit it out right, that I need to be reminded of God's power and love and that if our thoughts and actions ultimately glorify God and we are using our gifts to the best of our abilities then things will be ok and there will be Peace within us.  Being able to live peacefully feeds into all aspects of our lives.  

I hope I can teach Claire about God's love and power the way my Mom taught me.  Hopefully she will come to know and love the scripture and realize that even though this book is a collections of writings and stories from thousands of year it still holds very true and can be very useful to our lives and our happiness. 

I am, I do, I have, I think, I dream - so on and so forth

I am an imperfect human being.  I am a hypocrite.

I do organize my closet by color and "doodle on my work folders. I do dance and make people laugh at work.

I have talked about other people behind their backs (you really haven't?) I do curse "like a sailor" when I'm in the car and upset with people.  I have a sarcastic sense of humor.

I think about the future and I pray a lot.  I think my daughter is the most beautiful child ever created.  (I dare someone to tell me different, ha ha).

I dream a lot of things.  I dream daily.  I dream just like I think everyone else should.

I reactivated my Facebook tonight to post some recent pics I had taken of Claire, Carey and I.  I'm bragging.  Of course I am.  It's human nature to want to "show-off" and share your family, the blessing that I have in my wonderful husband and my daughter.  Everyone asks me all the time about Claire and so I posted pics for them.

I am not getting back on. I have enjoyed not being on facebook and didn't miss the drama that it caused. I didn't miss it because I don't really care what is going on with the 500 plus "friends" I have.  I managed before facebook and I'll manage going forward.


Good Night.

I'm lazy- did I mention that?  to a certain extent, I am a lazy person.

Poche Family Photos - for the 1st time ever

The pics are in.  We hired Tate Tullier and Sarah Tullier from Tate Tullier Photography to takes a pictures and I couldn't be happier with the pictures, he did an amazing job.  I Love love love them.

Here are a few. 

Me, Claire Celine aka Peanut and Carey Poche

These are were also Claire's 1 year photos.  I wish I could have someone takes pictures of everything she does/says and just the happenings of her daily life.  I think she's cutting a new tooth because she was unusually whiney this evening.  I've pretty much forgotten about it and am thinking only of waking up that angel in the morning.  I love how she hides under a pillow or her arm when you turn the light on to wake her up...and when she finally looks at you, she's smiling and giggling that baby giggle.  I love her so much.  I think I'll spend the rest of my life trying to explain to Claire how much "so" actual is.
