What Are You Waiting For?

"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way." Dr. Seuss

When it comes to making your dreams a reality, the only person who can truly stop you is you! Don't let fear of failure hinder you from acheiving your goals. Today is your day! What will you do with it?

And the Husband of the Year Goes to...

I had a very interesting morning indeed! As I told you the other day, I have had a lot of trouble getting to bed at a decent time, but this week I have made a special effort to get at least 6 1/2 hours of sleep. Good job Me:) Wouldn't you know something would throw me off?

I have always been a vivid dreamer. I almost always remember my dreams, however, whatever was playing out in my head this morning must have been intense because it made me pop out of bed. Assuming it was my alarm that woke me up, I turned on the shower and started brushing my teeth, only to realize it was only 2:30! Ha! So I laughed it off and gratefully snuggled up with my husband for another hour and a half...

The next time I woke up I felt pleasantly rested and, again, turned on the shower. This time I noticed that the clock read 5:15. Uh oh, I am usually walking out the door at that time!! A little stunned I froze and started frantically saying to Chris, "It's 5:15, I'm so late! How did I sleep in?".

This is where his heroic actions come in. At least they were heroic to me:)

Understand that Chris is the heaviest sleeper EVER and it can be near impossible to wake him up. So you can see how it surprised me when he jumped out of bed and immediately said, "How can I help you?". He made me coffee (this is usually done the night before, but I was to tired last night)and toast, put my lunch together and kept me calm as I managed to make myself look decent!

Thankfully I leave at 5:15 as a bumper, in case I need to stop for gas or coffee and basically to get settled before 6. So leaving at 5:30 got me to work with 3 minutes to spare:)

As if he wasn't helpful enough already, he brought me oatmeal and a skinny latte when he came into work, which just totally made my morning! I just love him and his ability to keep me calm and grounded. He get's husband points for this one!

What a stud!

Glorious Day

Ahh, I feel so refreshed today! I feel asleep on the couch last night at 8! It was such a good and relaxing night though:) I made the black bean burgers I posted last week. They were actually pretty good! The recipe calls for a dash of hot sauce, which gives them a very nice kick. Just one recommendation: don't burn the buns like I did! I toasted them and wasn't paying attention and they got a little "crispy". Whoops! Chris is too sweet and said they were still good and he even cleaned up:)

I had the weirdest dream last night...I was pregnant! I woke up in a little bit of a panic and looked at my tummy. I was definitely relieved to see that it was still flat! Why do you suppose we have crazy dreams like that? Hmm...

Also, after talking with a few people and continuing to pray about my work situation, I am feeling at peace with everything. Sometimes I forget that God's timing is better than my own and that through circumstances, good and difficult, He is building character and preparing us for what's ahead:)

And lastly, I love waking up to music and Chris is always changing my wake up song to various artists I love. The last few weeks it has been David Crowder:) I wanted to post the lyrics to the song I woke up to today. It is one of my favorites:)


Glorious Day

I'm so bored of little gods
While standing on the edge of
something large
While standing here, so close to You
We could be consumed
What a glorious day

I give up, I lay down
Rest my face upon this ground
Lift my eyes to Your sky
Rid my heart of all I hide

So sweet this surrender

CHORUS:
How great Your love for us
How great our love for You
That grace could cover us
How great Your love

How marvelous, how brilliantly
Luminous, You shine on me
And who can fail to give You awe
To fear You, God, so sovereign and strong

What a glorious day
What a wonderful day, today
What a glorious day
What a wonderful day, today
Glorious day
