Monday Moods

I picked up a post of a friend's blog from New Tribes, Cara, and I found out she linked up with another girl, Amber. Thanks ladies! I have enjoyed the last two I read of yours and I thought it would be fun to do it too! Hopefully I can remember to do it every week... but I won't be too strict about it! 


Today is the perfect day to begin this little start to "Monday Moods." You ask why? I will answer with the last couple weeks have been filled with dark clouds, wet roads, no sun, hurting tummy, lots of time being spent not motivated and wanting to just sit on the couch. It's been a boring and challenging two weeks. Finally yesterday, I was just damn fed up. I was exhausted of feeling exhausted and lazy. I was discouraged and annoyed. I was done feeling lonely. I finally told Daniel last night, "It's not that I am lonely with you. It's just life is more than just our relationship... I need to make time for my friends." Plus, Daniel has been working a lot- waking up earlier to leave earlier and staying late at work and getting home later. So on my days off- these days feel like FOREVER.

So, here I am. Beginning my week with SUN (thank YOU GOD!), with 'Your Great Name' by Natalie Grant blaring in the background, my front door open so I can feel the soft breeze on my toes and "Monday Moods."


I feel encouraged and motivated!
I will walk to grab a cup of coffee and my library books and then take a bike ride on the trail outside my house! 
I should not sit on the couch today and watch another episode of "Friday Night Lights" or begin "Up All Night."
I want to be an encourage-r. This will be this weeks goal.
I can't wait to see my Daddy and Momma Bear next week and my sister, brother, and niece in JULY! Oh Cali, how you have missed the presence of us sweet Hoeppners.
I have been listening to the "Praise and Worship Radio" on Pandora... and Lady Antebellum.
I think I need a sun tan, bad.
I like my amazing husband and how much he treasures me- in my lowest and most dark moments.
I struggle putting effort into my friendships- phone calls, "dates," packages, texts, e-mails, etc. 
I plan on spending time on me today. I know it sounds selfish... but I need to focus on what is going on in my heart right now.
I rejoice in knowing that even when I run from Him, He is waiting for me right where I left Him.
