Randomness on a Tuesday

 Happy Tuesday, Y'all

Today, I'm joining Ashley and Erika for their monthly Tuesday Talk link-up, where bloggers come together and talk about whatever is on our mind at the moment. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Want to know what's on my mind at the moment?

A whole bunch of randomness, like...

Today is my brother's birthday. He's such a great guy! He loves his wife and daughters and treats them like the queen/princesses they are. He's generous and kind. He works ridiculously hard. I could keep going. I'm so grateful to have him as my brother. He's the best :)

Y'all... What is up with the weather back home?! It's so so cold there right now, which is obviously, so unlike Alabama. Also... Where were these cold temps when I was there last month? I'm a big fan of the cold. So I might be just a little jealous at the moment. Maybe... ;)

Valentines Day was this weekend. I can't say it's my most favorite holiday ever. It's the #1 day for magnifying singleness, whether you want it magnified or not. But, it was okay. I had breakfast with a friend. I joined one of my supporting churches in their online worship service. I did a bit of work in my classroom. I did some baking. And I spent some time resting/relaxing before starting the week ahead. Not a bad way to spend the day...

Oh... I did get this adorably cute card from a friend's son the other day. And I also got a couple roses and some candy too :) 

Last night, I called my mom and since she was at my brother's house, I got to chat with both of my nieces. They took me all around the house, pointing out all their favorite books and toys, telling me about their day, about them having school cancelled due to the crazy weather they're having, and more. It was definitely a super fun way to end my night :)

Last week, I was back in school. By the end of the week, I felt like I was finally back in my groove and all was good. But after 7 weeks away, I was absolutely exhausted every night the first few days back. One thing I am super grateful for is all the planning I did before leaving in December. Since I didn't know how long I'd need to be gone, I had to plan enough sub plans to last a long long time. And now, I am quite pleased with Past Me for doing that. It's kind of nice to have my afternoons/evenings free to hang out with friends or to go home and do absolutely nothing. I think I'm going to enjoy that :)

And speaking of school... I saw this quote and it's stuck with me.

 Oh how true it is!

There's all kind of other stuff on my mind. But these are the main things that made the cut. What about you? What's going on with you today?

When God Gives a Girl a Brother

When God gives a girl a brother, she’ll have a lifelong friend.

She’ll have a forever confidant.

And she’ll always have someone standing in her corner, fighting for her and encouraging her to keep going when life gets tough.

When God gives a girl a brother, she’s sure to always have someone to laugh with, to have fun with, and to enjoy life alongside.

She’ll have a kid who will annoy her more than anyone else. Yet she’ll know that, not matter what, she’d choose to fight the world for him.

When God gives a girl a brother, she’ll pray for his future spouse, and she’ll rejoice when he ends up with the most perfect person for him there ever could be.

When God gives a girl a brother, there’s a chance that brother will have adorable kids for the girl to love as much as her brother.

When God gives a girl a brother and then God has the girl move a zillion miles away to work for Him, the girl will go with peace in her heart, knowing her brother will be there to look after/help her mom.



When God gives a girl a brother, she’ll pray for him to have success in life, for him to stay close to God, and to always set an example for others. 

And she will constantly be proud of the man he becomes. 

When God gives a girl a brother, she’ll have an example to judge all potential suitors by, knowing she’d be blessed to find someone even half as great as her brother one day.

When God gives a girl a brother, she’ll have enough memories to last her a lifetime.

She will always be thankful for the gift that her brother is in (to) her life.

And she’ll be so grateful to God that when He gave her a brother, she just knew she would always have a lifelong friend...

And thankfully, she would be right.

Happy Tuesday, Y'all

Today, I'm joining Ashley and Erika for their monthly Tuesday Talk link-up, where we, bloggers, come together and talk about whatever is on our mind at the moment. And since my favorite brother celebrated his birthday the other day, I thought he'd be the perfect topic to "talk" about in this month's post.
