I have not written in a while because it hurts to type, I don’t know what happened to it, however it is getting worse and typing hurts now. However, I shall persevere, here I sit with a lot on my mind and hopefully can get it all out before the pain is too much.
The show that ran last night on Conversations with Shanon J and Angie B was all about how to be Ruth while waiting on your Boaz. For those of you not familiar with the Bible, check it out, the book of Ruth is an amazing guide for women. Not only does it tell of Ruth’s devotion to Naomi, it tells of Naomi’s dedication to Ruth, how she wanted her taken care of as well. It tells how women should behave toward their husbands mothers, it tells of how mothers of sons should behave toward the women their sons choose to marry. It is a beautiful love story between these two women and their desire to take care of each other. It tells of dedication, loyalty and selflessness, it is a map on how to behave as a woman.
I think sometimes we forget that, we forget how to behave with each other, women should be taking care of each other instead of trying to making themselves available to men who do not belong to them, they should be reaching out and lifting up. One reason I love my Mary Kay business so much is the women, we all want to help each other to succeed, we want to lift each other up. I have often said you can go to any Mary Kay event, see thousands of women at a time, not one cross word, not one curse word, not one catty word, nothing but kindness and camaraderie, it speaks to me, it appeals to me and it soothes my soul. After being in the world and seeing how women behave towards each other, it is my refuge. I urge every woman out there to read the book of Ruth. Read it with eyes searching on how to treat other women, not with eyes that want a man. Learn how to treat other women the way we are supposed to and God will bring you the man He wants for you. Avoid all of the drama, avoid the consequences for the actions you don’t take. If you never try to steal something that does not belong to you, then you will not reap the consequences.
If you did not get to listen last night I will post when the show goes up, I am really proud of the show and the Conversations we are having.
My fervent hope is that God continue to use us to say things that women are uniquely qualified to talk about.
Wonderful Weather Day!
I haven’t been here in a while, I have missed putting down whatever is in my head, however I have been a little overwhelmed with changes at work. We are in training to take on new responsibilities, I can see the good in it, and I can see the possibilities of what the department is trying to achieve in this new endeavor. The training is typical for the company I work for, bright spot is one of the trainers actually takes the responsibility seriously and wants to get all of the information he can to us so we can succeed. Best trainer I have had in a long time, I hope he continues with this responsibility.
Spring is here and I couldn’t be happier as it is 40 degrees and rainy, this is my kind of spring! Now if it would snow I would be incredibly happy. To top things off today is my day off and Stargate SG-1 movie is on SyFy, I do believe my life is complete.
This Saturday we will be airing a show on Conversations with Shanon J and Angie B dealing with how to be a Ruth while waiting for your Boaz. It is a subject near and dear to my heart as I believe that women on the whole have forgotten that we need to behave a certain way in order to attract the kind of mate we want in life. Where has loyalty gone? Where has modesty gone? I am not saying that women should dress in nun’s habits or prairie women, just cover up a little more.
I hope you all will listen and give us feedback on our website http://www.convosate.com, we would love to hear from you. You can also find our link there to buy shirts telling everyone you listen to us!
I sit here with the door open enjoying the coolness of the morning, having my coffee and watching one of my favorite franchises, it is a good morning indeed.
My thoughts are with my friend that lost her mother last week, she was 101 and lived a good life, a life worth celebrating, however, no matter what your age losing your mother is still hard and I will be praying for her and the family.
I hope everyone has a great day, I consider it a personal achievement I made no trainer cry this week as I have been known to do. I am trying to practice the art of restraint, that is important, to become more patient and realize that everyone has a purpose and everyone is here to teach us a lesson in life. I suppose the trainer that is incompetent is here to teach me tolerance and patience. Lesson learned God, you can now slow down on that particular chapter in my life.
The one thing I am impatient with in life is stupidity, I can handle ignorance as I believe that is curable, stupidity is not, therefore I have little tolerance for it in general. My mother was a great example on how to behave in any situation and I am afraid that when I do l meet up with her some of my behavior will cause her to be disappointed with me. Therefore I am striving to be a better person, someone who is patient, kind and gentle, I fear I will never be there as I am not a gentle being. I tell it like it is, whether one wants to hear it or not, I am more like my father, who would say whatever was in his head. One never has to guess what I am feeling or thinking as it will spew out of my mouth like verbal vomit, or be written on my face for the world to see. I will never be able to be a spy as I am not good with subterfuge, this makes me sad as I always wanted to be CIA.
I hope everyone finds what they are meant to do in life, I am still searching, I don’t know when I will find it, well, hmmm honestly I do love being on the radio. I do feel like at this time and place in my life it is what I am supposed to be doing. I hope God uses both me and Shanon to help others with their issues and to know that we all have them, we all sin and come short of the Glory of God, however through Jesus we are all saved. I hope we do it with humor, acceptance and above all love. I hope you all have a great day and are on your journey to discovering your hidden talents and allowing God to bring them out to show the world.
Hair, Christmas and Stuff
I am trying to decide what to do with my hair; I need to have it done, cut, color the whole nine yards. It has blond in it now, I have officially been every color except black, I have never had black hair. I do believe I am too pale for black hair, I would look like a Goth person, not saying that is a bad thing, it just would make me look, well, silly.
I know what you are thinking, with everything that has happened the past few days how can I sit here and write about inconsequential things. Well, I don’t want to write about my feelings on what has happened it makes me incredibly sad. I have chosen to not partake in the conversation about gun control and who is to blame. I choose instead to write about things that don’t matter in the grand scheme of life.
So back to my hair, when I was a red head I enjoyed it, however I am really pale, my own dark brown suits me, probably because that is what God intended, however, my theory is, if he wanted me to stay that color he would not have created all of these wonderful colors. I really like the blond, I don’t know why but I feel like it suits me, personality wise, I have found that people don’t expect nearly as much from you when you have the blond in your hair. Maybe that is what I need now, low expectations of me; however I can only keep that up for so long. Then the original brown haired girl rears her head, oh maybe a warm caramel color, something in-between. I totally need to think about this, I liked when my hair was purple, but I am a little long in the tooth for that now, perhaps when I am 90, then people will just think I am eccentric and not weird.
I so cannot wait until after Christmas and I can tell you all what I got my children for Christmas, I am so excited. I really hope they love it and will cherish it the way I do, I have been sitting on this since the summer, it’s hard keeping it a secret for so long. I am not good at keeping presents a secret, when I buy it I want to give it!
So Thursday at 9:00 am CST I will be free, I will be running out of this building to finish my shopping, buying the food for our Christmas Eve feast and wrapping presents. Don’t forget Conversations with Shanon J and Angie B, which will be on this week as well. I am getting some great feedback from listeners, remember if you have missed any of our shows you can catch up on http://www.convosate.com and subscribe to our podcast on ITunes. For those last minute gift ideas check out our shop, you can get all kinds of goodies there.
