Shoes

So, I went shopping with a friend last week...specifically shoe shopping. Now this friend is not really a shopping girl, which is not necessarily a bad thing. She knows that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shoes, so she decided to ask me to help her. The thing is, she is really pickey about clothes and such, so shopping can be frustrating with her! But we must be victorious! So in we go to the Ross shoe department. Now, you know how it is at Ross , not organized! Did I mention that my friend is VERY organized? So needless to say after about 30 minutes, she still hasn't tried anything on. Me, I have talked myself out of 20 pairs because I really don't need anymore shoes. So, I go and find her in the tiny shoe section (my friend, of course, is blond and petite, sigh) and show her about 5 pairs that would look fabulous on her! She gives me the "are you sure?" "I don't have anything to wear with bronze, Dana", are these too tall"!!!!! I am getting frustrated and then this other lady hears us yappin and comes up to us and says "Are you guys sisters?" We both laugh and say no, we just fight like it! I am so blessed to have a great friend to shop with, to pray with and to get frustrated at because we are so different. But, we love the same God and that is the bomb. God gave me a friend to sharpen me and God gave me to her to loosen her up and of course, to help her buy shoes.

For the love of shoes,
Dana

God Using you

Ok, so it is Monday, otherwise known as hit the floor running day. It is the day for laundry, groceries, working out, trying to find the floor, you name it! All you Moms out there, you know what I am talking about! Anyway, in my time with God this morning, I asked Him to use me today because frankly, sometimes I feel a little useless. So, I went to the Y and saw Joanna then to the grocery. I was thinking, I really need to get home quickly and get STUFF done then I run into a friend and she is really a wreck about her teenager. She doesn't have anyone to talk to and so....God decided to use me in her life. Believe me, I was praying as I was talking because you know I do not have this teen thing wrapped up. But it was a huge encouragement to me. Then, as I was looking at milk, a lady came up behind me and said "Hey, don't you do Weight Watchers?". Ok, at this point, I am thinking this is really weird. Do I have a WW tatooed somewhere? But again, I thought ok God, here we go! Then I proceed to give this lady from my WW group a tour of the store to find all of the WW products! I know, your thinking, how shallow, helping someone with groceries, but hey, that is where God has me right now. At the grocery store, serving Him. To Him be the glory.

Grace and Peace,

Where do we begin.....

Well, here I am in blog land! My YOUNG friend Lindsee turned me on to this and I thought it might be fun to do.....don't know if I will be able to keep this up, but it is interesting to read about other peoples lives. Just don't want it to become a time warp....that tends to happen to me. Anyway, I will get more creative with it later!
Grace,
Dana
