I Heart My Hubby

Today was an interesting day. For one thing, my dear sister put acrylic fingernails on me and I am struggling to type because I haven't had nails like this since my wedding 8 years ago. I thought I would give them a go. I think I'm going to like them (at least for a while) but it is a bit to get used to when trying to type or do anything really that involves using my fingers. Holla, sis! I'm trying to use a new word. The Lumberjack's Wife uses the word Holla a lot and while I understand its meaning, I'm not very good at using it in context. So I thought I would give it a try. Everyone go say, "Holla!" to The Lumberjack's Wife here. She is one of my favorite bloggers and she provides me with a daily dose of laughter. I heart The Lumberjack's Wife. Her blog makes my day.

So this afternoon I was logging onto my facebook page to send a message when I notice my status says, "I love my husband sooooo much! He's the BEST," and people are starting to comment on it. Interesting...I don't remember posting that as my status. Wait a minute, I didn't post that as my status. Not that it isn't true, because I do love my hubby very much and I do think he's pretty much all that and a bowl of grits, but I didn't write that. Then I notice that my dear hubby "likes" this status and has begun to comment along with my friend. I could not stop laughing. I was the last one logged into facebook on Hubby's i-phone so when he went onto facebook this morning he was logged in as me and decided I needed a new status.

How could I not love this handsome man?

Tonight as I was writing this blog, I got an instant message across on my computer from...hubby. He was sitting across the room from me and decided to send me a message. He's so goofy...but he makes me laugh. He was making fun of all of the clicking from my new fingernails typing on the computer. He was also trying to give me blogging ideas, one of which I'll probably work on for tomorrow. One of my favorite things about my hubby is that he is fun to be with and he makes me laugh. Laughter is great medicine and I have needed a giant dose of it lately. Sometimes I think I take life too seriously and I need to stop and loosen up a bit. I'm reminded of that old Gaither song, "Kids under construction, maybe the paint is still wet. Kids under construction, the Lord's just not through with me yet." Thank goodness God isn't through with me yet. Life's too short to be so uptight and such a control freak all the time. This is why I am so thankful that God sent me a partner with the gift of humor. He knows how to make me laugh. I would like to end tonight's blog by saying on my own, "I love my husband soooo much! He's the BEST."

Jesus, it's Wednesday and I Need You!

This is actually something I wrote a few weeks ago on another site, but it came to mind this morning as I sleepily crawled out of bed saying, "Jesus, it's Wednesday and I REALLY need you!"

Last week as I was looking on facebook, a friend’s status really caught my attention. She said, “It’s Wednesday, Jesus I need you.” When I first read it, I thought, “It’s Wednesday, what’s the big deal about Wednesday?” Then I realized, that was exactly her point. It really got me to thinking about my relationship with Jesus. Why don’t I tell him every day that I need him? In my quest to be an independent woman who can take care of things on her own, I have left out an important person. In fact THE most important person gets left out of the little everyday things. It isn’t that I intentionally exclude him, I just haven’t thought about telling him that I need him. This simple facebook post has changed my life. Each morning since I read that post, I have made an important change in my day. As I wake up each morning I now say, “Jesus, it’s Monday and I need you. Jesus, it’s Tuesday and I need you.” I need Jesus every day and now I tell him so each morning.
