I’m a big supporter of being authentic and open!  And I also want to know more about you and what’s going on!  So . . .

What is something with which you struggle?

What is something you have overcome?

The trip to Crested Butte was incredible!  Lots of love, fun, great memories, wonderful experiences, relaxation, and God’s amazing creation all around! I’ll definitely post more in a few days but wanted to share these two!

This Season’s Mottos July 24, 2008

Filed under: Thoughts, Today — libbymyrin @ 6:24 am

Change what you can and be flexible with the rest :)
I am aware of my roles and responsibilities and the personal choices I can make throughout the day to be happy and healthy.  But there are and will be lots of things that will require flexibility.

Some things you can’t control, but you can choose how you’ll respond.
I’m learning what affects my mood, attitudes, and productivity.  I also realize there are many things that require me to just go with the flow.  But I can control the things that make the biggest impact on my response.

Enjoy the blessings and His grace and goodness!
Gerardo and I know medical school will have a large impact on our lives, our finances, our time, and our marriage.  But what excites me is knowing God desires for it to be a wonderfully positive one full of blessings!

 

Perfect Timing! July 22, 2008

Filed under: Family, Today — libbymyrin @ 8:02 pm

Did you know God’s timing is perfect!?!? ;)

I pray you all know deep down how true that statement is, but I also love how we find such amazement, joy, and peace each time we get to experience it!

Gerardo’s whole medical school process has such been a testament to this!  Despite the stress, uncertainty, hesitation, questioning, planning, etc., that went into the six month process, not to mention the few years leading up to this point, the revealing of God’s perfect plan couldn’t have been better!  We are truly blessed!!!  God is good!

Tell me about His perfect timing in your life!

 

Camera Consumer Report July 21, 2008

Filed under: About Me — libbymyrin @ 8:51 am

Okay, I need ya’ll’s help!  I am wanting a camera but don’t know much about what’s out there.  I know many of you are big picture-taking gurus so I’d love your thoughts!  I don’t need anything really fancy but would like something with high quality but not high-dollar. :)  Any recommendations?

 

So You Want the Answers, Huh?! July 21, 2008

Now I haven’t received any responses to these last three so post what you think the answers are!

I’ll give you all a day or two! ;)

 

Three More Riddles July 20, 2008

Filed under: Thoughts — libbymyrin @ 9:43 am

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?

 

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

 

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

 

Another Riddle July 19, 2008

Filed under: Thoughts — libbymyrin @ 8:42 pm

A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
