Other People's Kids
Well its about time for my "weekly blog". I didn't really mean for them to come once a week, but that just seems to be how often I get to do this. Plus I really don't have that much interesting information going on in my life right now. No kids of my own to write about, no plans for kids of my own to write about. Any family is at least an hour from here, so we don't get to visit them very often. Already have the new job. So what else is there to say today....
Well I guess I will talk about yesterday, which was Sunday. My Hubby and I were in the 2y-3y old class yesterday. Can I just say they are a bunch of cuties. Yesterday we had a few new kids in the class. Here is a good question, do kids listen better to other authorities rather than there parents. Ok, here is the reason i ask. Like i said we had a few new kids, well the one mom and dad were like "good luck" when the left there daughter in our care. Mind you she just turned two, but i must say she is sooo well spoken for a little two year old. And not only that she listened to everything we said. Like for example she sat for the whole story time on her spot, she colored her craft, she did her snack. She was as well behaved as any other kid there, and better than some. :)
So later when her mom picked her up she asked me how was she and be honest. So I told her, she was wonderful, sat for the whole story, ect. I think the mom thought i was lieing! :) (and mom if your reading this i wasn't) I just made me wonder why the little girl did so good for the class, when i'm assuming she is not that good for her parents?! Her parents are great godly people and from what i know about them are doing an excellent job raising her.
I guess i just have the magic touch... hahahahaha!

Monday...
Well, last week was a new experience for me. Working Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 was very interesting. It was totally differently to be able to leave on time every day! With a nice short 20 minute drive home, I was home by five every night! It was really nice!
I love my little bathroom sized office. I have one window and a door that locks behind me. :) And in keeping with Marie style weather, for some reason it stays nice a warm in my little box. (You won't hear me complaining) They only downside from the warm box, is about 3:30-4:00 it starts to feel nice and cozy like nap time. That is usually the time I do any last ventureing out to the printer or other places downstairs for the fresh air.
And can I say having off on the weekend with my husband was wonderful. Of couse he doesn't get off every weekend, but it was still nice to have two days of whatever time with him. (Mind you we ended up cleaning, and going to a party so we weren't home much, but it was still nice) Not to mention evenings, every evening with him this past week.
Sunday was an interesting day too. Wasn't feeling too great, and we completely slept in waaaay too late. Don't know what happend to the alarm?! But later that day I did a shoot for a family, it was great, didn't take long, and I loved most of the pictures.
Here are some of my favorites: (I hope this works)
Sorry if they are pixally, i was trying to load them small. Anyway, it is nice to have the free time to do my own work for friends and family!
So If anyone wants photos of something or another, you know how to look me up!
Thats it for now, before this become to long to read!
Love ya all!

New Work, New Outlook
Well today I start my new job. Ironically, on Saturday when I left my old job I almost cried. :( I will miss it, at least making the little kids laugh everyday. Not the rest of the junk that goes on. Oh well, I guess that was a good 6 1/2 years. I still hope to do photography of course on my own. I have my background ready to go, but no good lighting system, so if it is bright out, then I can do it in my living room, but if not too bad.
I don't know why I am so nervous this morning. I guess cause I don't want to mess up. But I already got the job, so I really shouldn't be this nervous. I think it is starting somthing new so fast, I am not good at change, and already my brain has said what if this doesn't work out then what. I chose not to listen to that, but i still heard it. Oh well, I guess nervousness is a part of life.
Well I gotta go get ready for work. Whoohoo!

Patience
Ok, well here is a little know fact about me. I love to write poems from time to time. They are all pretty much related to what I am feeling, and learning from God. Someday, when I have enough of them I want to get them published. But I don't think that will be for a long time.
As I may have told everyone, I am looking for a new job. Well I had a second interview on monday, and I called on friday because this monday is a holiday. Well I left a message with the lady, and she left me one back. (cause i was at work) She said they are doing a few more interviews this week. But that I am high on there list of people they like. They should have something to tell me by the end of next week, weither it is yes or no.
Can I just say... AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am not good at being patient. It makes me worry, and create senerios in my head of what i did wrong or the outcome, if i can't get the job, if i do get the job. I have quite the vivid imagination sometimes.
Anyway back to the reason, I started this blog. I was thinking about being patient and waiting on God to provide the best for me and my husband, when i remembered a poem i wrote about patience, now i didn't remember what it said, i just remembered i Titled it "Patience" - So here it is:
Patience
- My mind says,
How come I must wait?
Why does it take so long?
I want things now…
I want to know when…
I want to be in control…
- My heart cries
No reply, just silence
Then He says… “Patience
Trust me… I know what you want
But I want something better for you
You must not worry, just wait
It will come in perfect timing
Just wait…”
I don’t think I can do it,
I want to know, I want to control,
Will you help me?
“Oh dear child, I have saved you from death,
Do not worry about life…
I am here, I am listening,
I will keep you strong,
I will be your support,
I will give you patience.
Trust me…
Be patient for my will
Just wait…”

Ok, Well this one is going to be a good one, I hope.
My husband taped the giant 6 hour event on CNN about God's warriors. Two hour about Jews, two about Muslins, and two about christians. Well we decided to watch the Christian one first, cause I was most interest to see what it was about. Now I am not at all a theological person, and most of what I believe I have been taught by my dad. I know that sounds lame, i didn't go out and study all the super deep theological stuff by myself, but i just don't have the capacity to understand all that stuff. (sorry tim) I have nothing against people, pastors whatever who love to study it and understand it, but i will just stick with what i know, like God sent his only son to die for my sins so I can be saved.
So Anyway, this CNN thing. It was very interesting, they had a lot of (apparently) well know people in the religious world. So we were watching these people, and they were all presently slight different views. Some I agreed with and some I wasn't so sure about. Ok for example, this one guy was shall we say lead to "emobilize christian voters". Which he was preaching saying that not voting is a sin. And that we need to vote the morals we follow..... I don't remember, thou shall always vote being a ten commandment?! Did I miss that one... heehee. I think he seemed a little extreame, but the real question is what is God going to say when he goes to heaven, good job? what were you doing? I don't know.
Here is another one, there was this guy who went to a scientic convention, and learned about how the earth is dieing from global warming. So because it says in Geneisis that we should take care of all Gods thing for God, this guy is saying that we are dishonoring God, by creating global warming. And that God was an environmentalist. WHAT? I don't know how i feel about that one.
How can people read the bible and see only what they want? Why do they interpret it in such different ways? Is it really that hard to interprete the words of God? Aren't they there in black and white?
Anyway, here is the one that really got to me. I hope this doesn't offend anyway, and I am open to hearing what everyone thinks, please. Jimmy Carter was being interviewed talking about how he sorta lost the second election because of this Christian movement or whatever. Well since then he has been a big guy in his church or whatever. Well in his baptist church they created and passed some kind of edict (i think). It goes something like this. The Bible teaches that wifes must be submissive to there husbands, therefore they are not allowed to be a pastor/leader of a church. That makes sense to me, because when i was little and i asked my dad why girls couldn't be pastors it was explained to me that, wives are supposed to be subbmissive to there husbands, and that Men are supposed to be leaders. Now I don't think that means a lady cannot go to seminary and get a pastoral degree and be a leader, but not of the entire church. Woman certainly can be leaders, and can be teachers, but not pastors. (i think) Mind you that Jimmy Carter thought this was wrong and woman could be pastors, so he started his own bapitist religion or whatever. But what I want to know is what is right? is there a right and a wrong? If a woman becomes a pastor and has all the correct theology and saves people in Jesus name, is God going to say to her when she get to heaven, good job, but you weren't supposed to be a pastor? Or is he going to be like oh well, its ok, cause you did such a good job furthering my kingdom. Is there really a right and a wrong answer about this one, or is it open to interpretation? How do we know God's interpretation?
My hubby didn't think it was a big deal, but to me it is cause i have always believed one thing, and if that is wrong i want to know. It kinda makes me think what else have i just assumed is right because i was told that when i was a child. Ok, ok I am not going to question everything and be paranoid, but it does make you wonder a little.
Well before this gets way to long, i am going to stop. Hopefully me next blog will be more light at heart.

Well here goes
Well i am not the greatest writer, or speller for that matter. But I thought maybe it would be nice to share my thoughts with people who might read them. So I don't know really where to start, but maybe I should start with stuff about me.
My hubby and I have been married just about a year now. And I love it! We have been together for almost 5 years now, which seems like a long time, but only because it goes so fast. I have two brothers, one a cool pastor with a great family, and the other an awesome mechanic. Mom and Dad live in Delaware doing church planting and pastoral work. Someday I hope they move closer, but that is definitally better than 10,000 miles. Mom and Dad in law live about 5 hours away in a tinie tiny town, with one traffic light. For those of you who don't know, I am from all over. I was born in reading, lived in that area for about 13 years. Moved to Guam, where i lived for about 8 years, and still consider an awesome place to live even if it is so far away! Now i live in Schwenksville, with my husband.
My husband is a chef, and also does random autoCAD designing on the side. Loves his mac, and anyone with a mac. Also couldn't do with out his nintendo. Which i am ok with cause he is not a super sports freak so, thats nice. But is does like nascar, which i am getting in to, how can you blame me, cars going at 100+ miles per hour in a circle. :) heehee, no it is fun to watch, but also good to nap too.
I am currently looking for a better job. Right now i work at Sears Portrait, which is so fun, but the company is not fun anymore. WAY to stressful, so i feel that it is time to move on. Find something better for our family.
Anyway, i think that is is for today, but be prepared for my random blogging. I may have photos, poems, how i am feeling, and whatever else my fingers feel like typing. I hope you enjoy!
Love ya
Marie
