Classy with a Dash of Quirk

Oh, it is such a beautiful autumn day here!!! I wish I had pictures to post of the beautiful downtown scenery, but we left the camera at home, by accident. I will try my utmost to take some next time. The Lord has created a magnificent world, hasn't he? I do believe that spring and fall are when he really when he gets his paintbrush out!

Today, of course, was piano. It was great, though I don't overly like one of the pieces. Actually, it is more like an exercise. I know the Lord has given it to me, so that I can practice patience and learn to get past out of my comfort zone. It still is extremely difficult! Oh well, nothing was supposed to be easy about the Christian walk. Now, I am not complaining; I wouldn't exchange my life or my faith for anything. I just wish I had this "wonderful" piece by Hanon over and done with:-)

I got a hair trim today. See, we are going to get family pictures taken by a friend on Saturday for Christmas presents, and I wanted my hair to look nice. Perhaps that is vain, I don't know, but I also don't see a problem with wanting to look nice. Anyway, I will have to style it myself tomorrow; the lady didn't do that. I will tell you all about the picture taking after Saturday (Obviously) I also will tell you what colors we decided to wear!

This weekend is going to be crazy. Friday, Mom and I are going to a ladies' thing at church, while Dad and Garrity have some of the church guys over at our house. Both things will have junk food and fun, a winning combination. Saturday is pictures, and then Sunday, I sing with the girls' ensemble. Yikes!!!! Please be praying for me! I am not exactly nervous, but I don't like being the center of attention, either. Plus, I wish we had had one more practice. Nothing I can do about it though. Hopefull, everyone will be there; the cold / sore throat thing is going around our church.

Next week, I know I will be busy too. But I want you all to know that the majority is doing stuff with my family. Titus 2 tells women to be keepers at home, and I do stay home a lot. I don't drive, so that is one of the things that prevents me, but I don't have the desire to run myself ragged. I am perfectly content with the few things that I do. I much perfer spending quality time with my wonderful family that I have been richly blessed me with. Too many people don't realize their family is a blessing until it is too late. May the Lord always protect me from ever thinking that!
