choose life

so i have been thinking about the words life & love lately.
i went to visit my dad this weekend. my little brother turned 7 yesterday! he's getting so big! anyways, i went to his church today. it was tiny & they sing out of the hymnal books. needless to say i did not know a single song we sang today. the pastor spoke on having a firm foundation, especially after becoming a believer. i started to think and pray about life. i was praying for the people in this church to SEEK LIFE (deut 30:19-20) and to SEEK GOD & LIVE (amos 5). then i proceeded to think about His love for us. of course, How He Loves came into my head. it was just good to think about how much God loves us and that HE IS JEALOUS for us. HE wants to be with us all the time and yet He is willingly let us choose Him or not.

i choose Him.
i choose Him no matter what situation i am going through, good or bad.
His Word is truth and life.

it was another holiday week.
usually the day before the holiday is the worst. however, today was not that bad! i praise the Lord for that b/c i usually stressed, irritated, & lose my temper at least once. today was different. i prayed before i walked into the doors for joy to do my job in the midst of chaos. i only had two ladies get an attitude with me and honestly, it was not my fault. it's hard to please everyone since we are under-staffed. but i think most of the customers knew we were all doing our best to get them out in a timely manner. i am just so thankful for not leaving there and being in a bad mood. today, one of my favorite things i said was when a lady asked if we had any strawberry cakes left. i told her, "nope, we have nothing strawberry left." i'm not sure why but i just thought it was funny.

if you ever want to know what it's like to work in a bakery, just ask.

on another note, i am a little obsessed with Lomography. i have a Diana F+ and i love it! i need to post some updated photos but i need to scan them. unfortunately i don't have a usb cord to do that... i will soon have it. i've gotten a little better at it but i am still learning.

here is one picture i took that i like:
