Feeling pretty unmotivated at work today.

Last week I asked the question "can you be friends with an ex?" Well, my friends, the answer is that you can't and in trying to, you'll experience even more hurt. Well, you live and you learn.

I can't believe it's April already. The year is just whizzing by. I feel like I went through a lot of transition this past few months and I have a lot of transitions coming up including changing churches as well as saying goodbye to a community that has been my family for the last 4 years. I've felt conflict and pain in almost every area of my life (besides family, thank goodness) and have been brought face to face with who I have become over the last few years. One thing I've learned is to not be afraid of who I am because Christ's work on the cross has justified all and His work of sanctification can overcome all our weaknesses. It hit me this weekend how beautiful life is and how simple it can be. I have a lot to look forward to and will press on toward the perfection that Christ has called us to.

Task #24: Sleep in till noon. I was so traumatized from the weekend that I took a sick day off work yesterday and slept in till 12:30 PM. It felt glorious.

Task #63: Order a Dirty Grey Goose Martini. Okay I'm going to lie on this one. I ordered a dirty gin martini because I knew I wasn't going to like the olive juice and I didn't want to waste the cash on the Grey Goose. I'll order a Grey Goose martini of some sort next time to balance this one out. I was at Seva with Autry and Amanda and couldn't decide what drink to order when Amanda reminded me of this particular task. It was the most disgusting drink I have ever tried. Never again am I ordering a dirty martini.

Task #95: Devise a great April Fool's prank. Does this mean I had to carry it out? I had the best prank and last minute a few things went wrong and the whole prank fell through. Well, there's always next year!

yes, you can be friends with an ex.
it just takes a lot of work, and whole lot more prayer and committment. its not something you can just "do", or even "try". either you're really gonna do it, or you're not going to bother.

I happen to be getting married to my ex. But first we had to become friends again, and God reconciled our friendship, which was very hard, but well worth it in the end.

wishing you well

Hey, totally unrelated to the post, and maybe it's just me, but I think it's time to cross #75 off the list!

Love, Amanda
