It's all in the perspective

A couple days ago I was talking to a friend about this last semester. I said to her, "All in one semester I broke my arm and was in a cast for two months, got sick three times, quit one job, started a new job, got in three accidents, totaled one car, got strep throat, got three ear infections, got campused twice and got silly putty stuck in my hair!" She replied with, "Here's a thought, in one semester God helped you learn to rely on Him and others, have patience for two months, healed you three times, provided the right job, spared your life three times, provided a car, gave you the grace to deal with a small campus and made you stronger." It's all in how you look at it. I was looking at all the bad cards I'd been dealt most of them a direct result of my own actions, she was looking at all the awesome results that had come. That's how it is in life. You have two choices, you can dwell on the bad cards, circumstances, you've been dealt or you can look at all the good that has come your way and all the good that will result from these circumstances. It's not always easy to find the good, sometimes you really have to look, but it's always there. It's all in the perspective. People get down and out when something bad comes their way. When really all they need to do is quit focusing on the bad and instead look up and find not only the good but also a God who is right there watching them and taking care of them. Even when things look impossible God still has control and He still know what is best. Is your glass half empty or half full? It's all in the perspective.

how cool!

OK, s yesterday I was babysitting and my little boy walked for the first time! It was so cool! When I told his mom she came flying home. lol Yup, I bribed him with cheerios so that he would walk some more. It was exciting to see my work pay off. For the past 3 wks I have been walking Ben all around trying to get him to get the hang of it and get his balance and finally he walked. Awesomness! Anyway, I am going home for on the 4th of July and I will be home for 1 1/2-3wks depending on how long I can take it withoutwanting to shoot the fam. :) I am going camping for a week, no phones, no electricity, no TV, sleep in a tent(or camper whichever I feel like doing on any particular night), cook over a fire, pee inthe woods...j/k about the pee in the woods part. Yup, it's gonna be a blast! I am super excited and can't wait!

Ok so it's summer vaca and I am working and sleeping and being bored. Boredom and Brittany do not go together so well. When I get bored I get destructive! Bad idea for me to get bored. Right now I am tired and waiting for my kids dad to get home so I can go home(I am at work). Wait, I don't mean my kids I mean my kids that I nanny for. Yah, anyways bye

random thoughts

Hmm, so I don't think I am so good at keeping up at this, I never have been. Oh well, I am over it. Sometimes you don't know why things happen. Sometimes it seems like there is no point in something. Sometimes you really just want to quit. Those are the times when you have to keep going. Those are the times when you need to trust that there is a reason for all that is happening, that God knows what He is doing. Those are the times that when you get through them you will look back and realize that they did have a purpose, even if it was just to make you a better person. Things happen for a reason--even when it doesn't seem like it.

Great day

OK, so I got to come home for mothers day, that totally made my day. However, it get's better! The weather is finally good up here so I could go out and go riding this weekend. Belle was so lazy, all she's done all winter is sit in the pasture and she wasn't all that thrilled to have to go out and do some work. By the time I finished riding though she had perked up and we were flying across the fields. Oh man, I wish I could ride in Cinci. I want to take her out one more time before I come back to GBS so I am going to shoot for Mon morn. That's about it.
