Musings: Giving up

Giving up

I am officially giving up on this church. They want their clip art and word art and fancy colors instead of looking up to date and uniform. Fine. They can have it. I'll do whatever they want and just stop caring. I don't know why I did care. I guess I thought they wanted me to use my talents to add my touch, but apparently not. So whatever. I really feel like I just don't fit in here. And I don't really know if I want to. So I'll just pull a little bit further back into my shell and just keep going through the motions. It's too much work to care.

I know how you feel...my boss has very similar ideas to how our newsletter and other publications should look. I try to curb her enthusiasm a bit, and normally it helps some, but definitely not exactly like I would have it. She wants to go over our website with me and change/update a few things...I'm quite worried about what she'll want me to do! :-) (nice blog, by the way)

Quotable

"My mind is expert at taking one negative and ballooning it into many until I have enough balloons to throw a pity party."

"A woman would do well to understand that an honest, faithful husband who goes on a three-week hunting (fishing) trip is not telling her he doesn't love her. He just wants to kill something. Nothing more complicated than that."

"(God's) ideal is a man who, having worked all day for the good of posterity, washes his mind of the whole subject, commits he issue to Heaven, and returns at once to the patience or gratitude demanded by the moment that is passing over him. "

"A woman must love as though she's never been hurt (disappointed) before or she will destroy today."

"A contract is based on mutual distrust; a covenant is based on mutual trust."

"Meekness flows from the confidence that God is in control and therefore I am not."

" You do not "fall in love" any more than you fall into a mortgage. Consequently, you also do not fall out of either one. Love is a choice."

"When you come up against a wall in life you can hold on to your fearful thoughts and quit or you can hold on to the truth, push through, and be stronger for it (paraphrase mine)."
