Matthew 11:28

You'd think I'd have learned by now. There's a new song by Lady Antebellum called Slow down sister. I'd rewrite it to be "Slow down Ginny". When I don't....I get sick. There was a time in my life (like two weeks ago) I'd say: I never, or rarely get sick! Not so much anymore. Since I started working for Cheersport last summer, I've been sick several times. Traveling, working, traveling for fun, and too much 'stuff' to do has kept me going. It's like I think I'm superwoman or something. She-ra for those of you who remember the princess of power. I really do enjoy downtime, so I'm not sure why I don't take some of it. I've been thinking the past two days how nice it would be to be at the beach. I think because when I'm there, I'm slower. Life's slower. My t0-do list is non-existant and I just live. The biggest decision I have to make is what I'm going to have for dinner. I took Tuesday and Wednesday off work to rest. Wednesday I actually rested. Got caught up on some scrapbooking. I have been joking for a while about reading the book "Boundaries". Learning to say no...or no to overcommitting at least. I think I'm just so thankful for all the opportunities around me and I have this sense of urgency about me that I don't want to miss out on something in life because life's so short that I jump on everything. I fill up my calendar with countless things. I do leave room for the unexpecteds...but then those do come and then I have no downtime at all. Anyway, these are my ramblings for today. It's 1pm and I need a nap.

Things...

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now. Millie photographed Rebecca's wedding, that I was in - and her photography is just amazing. I feel like I should say this! Shelly Moore Band. Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful. She praises Jesus with her voice and Mike's guitar. www.shellymoore.com . You should buy her cd. Charlotte South Fellowship Where I hang out, praise Jesus, and learn more about Him. Where I spend time with the High Schoolers. Where I listen to KC Clark's voice on Sunday mornings and Kenny's preaching. Where I serve. www.charlottesouth.org . Cheersport Where I work. www.cheersport.net . I plan cheerleading co...

Hooray for Chacos.

I'm buying Chacos. And I'm excited. There was a time in my life when I thought people who wore these were weird hippies or something. But then I'd be the one rafting with soggy tennis shoes that I couldn't wear ever again running with decent support. Then came Josh Hinton and Margaret Sanders and now...I am going to buy my very own. Haha. The older I get, the more I want to be outdoors doing stuff. I've always known I'm not a "corporate world super office type"...although I've held two of those jobs, and held my own might I say! But, I am growing more to love hiking and nature and water and well, all the things God made that we haven't ruined yet. So...Chacos here I come!

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I...
