Forgotten Friday?

I just got called "Pebbles" over FaceBook. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this nickname I was given over 10 years ago. I began my first summer job at age 15 in the summer of 1999 at Schlitterbahn Water Park. I was a S.W.A.T. and that title stood for SANITATION, WASTES, AND TUBES. Don't forget about the tubes. All I did that summer (for $4.75 and hour) was change trash can liners, roll tubes to their designated area (because guests at Schlitterbahn thought that the tube drop offs were where ever they thought convenient) and take lifeguards cup after cup of water. So, my first day at the job my lead (or first boss ever) Cherif Gacis was in section 3 (yes I remember). He was very nice and funny and we are still friends today. He started calling me Pebbles because I wore my pony tail realllllly high and was always laughing. I have pretty fond memories of working at Schlitterbahn but I had forgotten this name until he said "have a good day Pebbles" after a chat on FB. I think I will wear a pony tail today in honor of America's number one water park...still.

101


Ladies and Gentlemen, 

You are reading the 101st (is that how you say that?) blog post. WOW! Thank you all for sticking with me. It is my goal in the next 100 to glorify the Lord, inspire, and grow. I'm ready!

Soon after finishing this blog post I am going to be beginning a 90 day study on the life of David by Beth Moore. I'm excited because it is something I can do on my own, while traveling about, in my own time. I have been wanting to learn more about the life of David since I heard the sermon that I posted about Caves. I will keep you posted on all I am learning. 

Have a great Tuesday!!!

I Run to You




I Run to You:
Lady Antebellum

I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That’s when I run to you

Chorus
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you’re the only one I run to
I run to you

We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin’ right on through
And our love’s the only truth
That’s why I run to you

Repeat Chorus X 2

Thank you Lord that you inspire me through music. I'm at peace only with You. I know I run from my past and mostly from what you have for my future. I praise You Lord that you know all. I'm learning every single day to run to You..

Lu Lu Childress


Lucchese is our new now 7 month old kitten. She is so so sweet and sleeps on my side of the bed with me. We named her Lucchese after my favorite pair of boots and because her brothers name is Stetson. The two of them like each other for the most part :) We call her Lu Lu and I am so glad that we have her! 

AND Yes..I am once again a Blondie and I promise that this will be the color for a while. i think I have had almost every color of hair this year. Ha!

On another note: Lu Lu and I would like to congratulate Nocona Koenig for earning her first Mary Kay car. We are praying for Nocona as sbe keeps on keepin' on towards the pink Caddi. 

Hope yall have a great weekend!!!

LOVES
