Life 'o Lauren

Just wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. I warned you that it would be a LONG time before I was able to sit down and catch back up. At the present time I am sitting at my desk trying to catch up on, well, life!
A quick recap of the past couple weeks:
1. I walked into my bathroom to find Evie flushing stuff from my wallet down the toilet! It only made it a little okay that she looked so cute when she kept saying, "Uh OH" But only a little.....
2. I have "misplaced" not 1 but 2 watches. I apparently do not need a watch and have found a new respect for the sun and the sundial!
3. While getting up early to run I ran smack dab into the bathroom door resulting in a high pitched scream and a red line that tattooed itself upon my forehead for the better part of the day
4. I have locked my keys in my car and ended up paying enough money to send the locksmith's children's to college.
5. I have "misplaced" my wallet only to find it under the bed and suspiciouslly empty of money ( jk i never have cash, who was i kidding)
6. I have totally forgotten about my Masters class that ONLY meets once every 2 weeks
7. I lost the keys to my classroom cabinet that holds my purse and clothes for volleyball. This resulted me in asking my "shadier" students to help me break into it. It worries me how easily they were able to do that! :)
8. My face is breaking out so much that if it werent for the long hair and random attempts at stylish clothing you might mistake me for a pubecent boy.
9. While walking into my classroom the other day wearing my adorable heels I apparently hit a slick spot and busted... NO witnesses but yet my pride is still a little bruised along with my butt bone!
10. I could go on forever but you get the jest.

I can always tell when I am stressed because I start to lose things or "forget" things and "misplace" them. At the end of the day I feel as if i am losing my mind. And that there might come a point in the near future where I will have to physically duct tape items of importance to myself and even maybe my child. The one saving grace is a promise that Christ is in control of ALL. SO all these times that I have literally lost my identity, my source of income, my daily work. In the grand scheme of things it all boils down to the fact that I know in whom i have my identity, In Christ. I know that my income is nothing compared to the riches I will have in Heaven one day and my daily work that is tangible is again nothing compared to the daily work of being an image bearer of the one who supplied me with these things in the first place.

I hope to post again soon but Im not going to promise a thing until I can at least catch my breath. Until then know that you are being prayed for daily and that our Lord is a faithful God who is all knowing and in CONTROL!!!!!
