7 Quick Takes Friday, October 12th


--- 1 ---

Humility has kicked me in the butt these past few days!  For our small group on Tuesday evenings I was facilitating our group on a discussion about vice of pride and the virtue of humility.  And then, I got a swift kick to help with my own humility.  It's something I shouldn't be frustrated about, but I am.  It's this idea that I had one time that NO ONE wanted to do - and now that someone else suggested it, they are all super excited.  What's up with that?!

IT has become the newest hat that I have to wear at work.  I was asked to set up someone's new computer with their email in Outlook and the Parish Data System (where I have to call PDS to get it all set up).  When did this start falling under the category of Youth Minister?  Not that these tasks are in some way beneath me just that they are in no way my job.  It's almost like someone doesn't think I have enough work to do!

Speaking of work, we are cooking ground beef, cutting veggies, and making cupcakes (with homemade frosting) to serve for dinner at the Women's Shelter on Saturday night.  Apparently giving up two nights of my weekend is expected (well, 3 nights really including Sunday).  I need more work on Friday afternoon setting up a computer that I will never even use!

Lino Rulli is my future husband - I believe...and I say this because I've been listening to The Catholic Guy Show Podcast this week - for a few weeks past.  It's been a huge help to me getting my work done (actually I'm listening right now to an episode from April) as I listen on my new iPhone while it sits in a coffee mug (that amplifies the sound)!!!

Just a sneak peek into what some of my future children will resemble!

To continue that discuss - future husband: I decided that this is the Lord's Plan for me!  Well, maybe not, but a girl can dream, can't she?!

What is my future Mister discussing now?
The discussion of the episode that I'm listening to right now!

 The race is in just 16 days!  Tomorrow I'm going to run again on the treadmill - hoping that it goes awesomely so I'm not embarrassed by this terrible feat!

    Lino is the best! And yes, it annoys the heck out of me when I am asked to help people with computer stuff. At least where I taught, it was assumed that all the younger teachers were whizzes and were expected to help the oldr teachers (who never even tried to learn!). So frustrating. Have a great weekend and share that love at the shelter.

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series !  A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions:  - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set.  I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick.  So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady.  One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days!  And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary  so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it!   A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee  came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress.  A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville!  She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband.  I said, ...
