There she blows.....

If you know me then you know my number one favorite television show is "The Deadliest Catch" shown on the Discovery Channel.  I know not a typical choice of someone in my demographic (or at least I don't think so), but I LOVE it!  It gets my blood pumping.  If you are not familiar with the show, let me enlighten you.  It is a show about Crab fisherman.  The show surrounds 5 - 6 boats that fish the baring sea.  There is always huge weather, crusty and grungy men with mouths like...well sailors and accident's looming around every corner.  But this isn't what draws me to the show.  It is the PASSION that these men have for what they do.  The shear love and (excuse me for lack of better term) balls against the wall determination to get the job done.  There is also a sense of family with in the ships interiors even if it is dysfunctional at best.  No matter the obstacle, they are going to find their way around it....to the end game.  To fill the ship with King Crab or Opillio Crab (depending on the season).       Watching last nights season premiere got me thinking about my passions. I think one is obvious.  Chick-fil-A.  That is an easy one for me.  I love the company.  Not just because it is my lively hood but also because I believe in what we are investing in.  It is not just about selling chicken, it is about getting to be a part of someone Else's life and making it better.  If even for just one moment.  Supplying them with a hot, great tasting meal, by a smiling person whom is truly happy to help.  We all deserve that.  Those moments are the ones that last.  The one's that can change a day around.  The one's that help to supply the respect and candor that everyone deserves.
    Another passion for me is singing.  Another easy one to pick out if you know me.  I am never more at peace than when I get to sing.  I am never closer to my Savior than when I get to worship.  This is how I lay my burdens at His feet.  I get to leave them there and move on knowing He has it under control.

So wheredo your passions lye?  What gets your blood pumping?  Whats makes you wake up in the morning and drives you to master each day?

A few of my favorite things

Hi!  I know it has been forever since I last posted!  Sorry guys!  I thought I would try something different today!  It has been very quiet in my house today since the children went back to school!  I have had alot of time to get lost in my thoughts.And here is where my thoughts resided.
      I have had a "Be still and know that I am Lord" kinda day!  I have felt His prescence closely today.  So I have decided to share a list of places I find my Lord so that you will start to look for your places of peace and comfort.  Here are a few...

-in my children's laughter
-in a cool breeze
-upon walking into my home
-my husbands hug
-holding hands with my children
-while singing ANYTHING
-having a door held open for me by a stranger
-in a friends voice
-while reading his scripture
-in a clean house (this isnt as often as I would like!  LOL)
-my community group
-at my CHURCH
-walking on the beach
-walking on the treadmill
-listening to a thunderstorm
-reading a good book
-In my daughters sigh
-In my Sons mischevious grin
-In my daughtes determination to do it correctly

These are only a few but these are a few of the blessings the Lord "Hugs" me with daily! Where do you find your peace?  When you feel lost how do you find these moments?  How do you share with others, so they can experince the same peace?
