This week is my and my daughter's birthday (July 10) and we were both feeling a bit bummed. For me the reason was thinking that we would not get a summer vacation this year or go on any trips. For my daughter, it was because her boyfriend is working in Houston for 3 weeks. We therefore decided to celebrate **Birthday Week** and it's been the best idea for us! On Monday, we bought $30 pillows at JCPenney (on sale for buy one and get one for a $1) which we have wanted for a very, very loooong time! We felt so decadent!! lol. Today we are going to go watch "The Proposal". We can't wait!! Tomorrow, we are buying new makeup at Walmart (yippee!). Thursday, we plan on each buying one new top at JCPenney (I work there so I get a good discount). Friday's agenda is lunch with Anna's close friends. Saturday is our yearly tradition of going to Wonderland Park with all of my sisters and their families. This week of doing little and fun things lifts our spirits and feels like our mini-vacation. God is good and lifts our spirits in ways that are meaningful to us doesn't he?
My devotional yesterday was this... "Never yield to gloomy anticipation. Place your hope and confidence in God. He has no record of failure." -Chuck Swindoll
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be provided for you." -Matthew 6:34 HCSB
