both sets of keys have been found, put your worrying hearts at ease!
...Find Alisha's Keys
how is it possible to lose 2 sets of keys in one day? lucky for me, ive found the least important of the two; still on the search for my house keys
i might possibly have a roommate up in greenville.
i'll keep yall updated.
i'm headed to houston this weekend; fun times await me. the wedding is for a girl i grew up in houston with...should be a pretty fun reunion. people there i havent seen in like 5 or 6 years...and then i get to hang out with mr. meads. thats all, i know its not a super exciting post, but i'm bored at work and so messing around on the internet is all i can do....
anyways,
peace in the middle,

i just felt the need to share how incredibly HUGE my bandage is..... 
comforting words from my dr. as he instructs the medical student on fixing my toe:
"a good surgeon would do it like this...I mean, not that I'm not a good surgeon, but well, i do it differently..."
needless to say, my toe is fine..i have the most ginormous bandage on it right now and a really hot, blue paper slipper...im pretty sure my foot isnt going to fit in a shoe.
peace out,

best-
Function: adjective, superlative of GOOD
~excelling all others
is best something you can measure?
what makes someone your best friend? i mean cause a lot of people have more than one best friend...and what distinguishes them above your "really good friends"?
Will is the 2nd best man in a wedding; because he's #2 does that lessen his best"ness"?
Philip, my Russian 4 yr old, told me and Ms. Rice we were the best teachers in the entire world; but am I as equally good as Ms. Rice?
what is "our best"?
being the best at something requires more, it isnt just average or satisfactory, people expect more because being the best makes you stand out above the rest, theres almost a sense of responsibility.
just random thoughts while i'm bored here at work.
grace & peace,
lish
let it be known that libby d. leatherman is one cool gal.
i was able to spend the weekend with this incredible chick; dallas weddings are great ops for trips to the metroplex. while the weddings arent my actual favorite, im glad they allow for time with the bff.
greace & peace,

After working a week in summer school, I've come to a realization that (and this is a ginormous generalization) teachers never really outgrow high school and catty-ness. My first week has been literally exhausted my mind. The conversations I've listened to have been such an eye opener to the true meanness and pride that consumes our lives because of the overflow of our hearts through our mouths, if that makes sense. Minus a few conversations centered around health and growing up in College Station, all these church-going, Christ-beliving, nice, loving women talk about are other people and their dislike or annoyance of them. Simply put, they dont talk about anything, they gossip about everything, circling rumors, throwing flames from their tongues. I guess my test comes in at being the youngest, a rookie and not knowing how to combat it, but wanting the Lord glorified through our speech, and just glorify Christ in all I say and do. Authority and maturity and sin are pretty difficult to deal with and the devil does an amazing job at weaving these things together to creat confusion and a dilema in reflecting Christ's love and gospel cause its pretty near impossible to set the example at the bottom of pole, as I'm sitting in a group of women that are over me in my job and a lot older than me and are sister's in Christ. I'm not saying I can't do it, because I know in Christ, I have the power to move mountains, and through prayer I know these hearts can be changed. My hope and prayer for my group of teachers and myself this summer is that they would come to an understanding as it says in James 3 "Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is a fire, a world of evel among all parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire......but the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness".
Its good for me to be conscious of the importance of filtering my speech, learning self-control but also knowing when to say something that needs to be said inspite of what others may say about me later when Im gone..and i think thats the hardest, most scariest part for me: praying for boldness of speech because I know the Lord will give it to me and then I'll have to be obedient to what He calls me to say.
the mouth is a powerful thing. let us be mindful of our words on a daily basis. speak the truth with grace because it perserves love, and we are called to love one another.
grace & peace,
lish
