Oh Happy Day #44!

(Listening to Angel Taylor)...love her!

Just got back from lunch...at Moes...I'm ridiculous! If you're not familiar...when you dine at Moes, you can type in your phone number at the counter when you pay.... A little device keeps record of your visits and after so many visits, you receive a free meal....Free = good! Well, today was a FREE meal day (except, I didn't realize that 'til after I paid...I'll save it for next time). I also noticed today that I have visited that particular location 44 times!!!! Oh my! Well, as I grabbed my food and sat down to enjoy my overachiever and side of queso, I also took some time to write some quotes from a book I just finished. Let me digress for a moment...My wonderful bible study just finished the book "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World." This 12 week journey focused on finding intimacy with God in the busyness of life. It's a wonderful book and very easy to read. I would recommend it for woman of all ages trying to balance a relationship with our Father, the pressures of career, and responsibilities of a family all the while maintaining friendships and finding time for that social club. And did I mention, doing it all with a smile on your face and in high heels. This book is an invitation for every woman who has ever felt she isn't godly enough, isn't loving enough, isn't doing enough. I found joy, peace, conviction, empowerment, love, grace, and mercy in this book. Please grab this one. You'll be glad you did. Moving on, and back to moes now...During the study I highlighted often, underlined much, and wrote all over the margins in the book. Now, I am taking the time to go back through and reflect on some of the notes I made. Many of my blog posts in the coming days will be from this book, including simple quotes to perplexing questions to challenging charges. (feedback is welcome)

Let me start with this:

"We were created in the fullness of God.....Are we willing to let God explode our comfort zone and expand our capacity for Him?"
