A Fragment From My Life

After a couple of long, dramatic days at work, I am enjoying a day off just staying at home, with not a care in this world. Work has only been more stressful this week due to some upcoming changes which will take place in the near future. The doctor in which I have worked for, the last ten months, informed us that he will be leaving Paulding Hospital at the end of the year. Like I have told a few people, God always tends to bring about change when his children start to get quite comfortable with what they are doing. 

I was getting very comfortable with my job, maybe even to the point that I thought I could handle it all on my own. I realize that God wants us to depend on him for the grace and strength that we so desperately need, no matter what area it may be in. It has been a good reminder for me this week, and I am actually looking forward to what He brings about.

My project this morning, and most likely my project for future mornings, included painting the lovely dark woodwork and doors that grace our entire house. I have done a few rooms here and there, but I still have a good amount left to do. I can finally check our bedroom off the list. White just makes everything feel and look more clean, although it might be a little bit harder to keep clean.

AFTERWARDS

I was recently on a baby shower for a friend from Latty, and we (the committee) had some fun with it. The soon-to-be father works as a mechanic for a local John Deere business, which spurred the idea of a John Deere themed baby shower.

I failed in getting many pictures of actual people, especially since I was too busy taking pictures of all of the cute ideas that we stole from Pinterest.

Thank you for the use of the chalk board, Mom. It was the perfect color.

I took this picture by standing on a chair. Looking at it from eye level, you really could not recognize what it was meant to be. It was a nice thought though.

This was the cute diaper/wipe tractor that Carmen so creatively put together.

It was such a fun shower, along with a great group of ladies to work with. We may have gone a little overboard with the theme and all, but it will be a shower to remember.

I am always happy to share these fragments from my life. Thanks to those of you who keep up with my blog, it is crazy to think that I have been at it (not very faithfully, but periodically) for over a year.

Happy first day of Fall!
