Please read the 3rd post down first "I have 58 days..." That one. Then go up one, then this one.

Seriously. Not 60 seconds after the post below, I walked upstairs, took my last swig of water as I sighed and set my glass in the sink. I stared out the window thinking what an idiot I was for misplacing my U2 tickets!! My U2 tickets! What were you thinking!!

And then I walked over, thinking it was in vain to check the junk drawer again, since I had already checked it before, but for peace of my mind, I just wanted to check it again before I went to bed.

And there they were.

Right on Top, in the Ticketmaster envelope they had arrived in. I thought back quickly to my posts on my blog that I had just posted. How I thought when that U2 ad popped up on my "View Blog" page, that I looked at it and thought, "This has to be a sign...it just has to be!"

As I took the tickets out of the envelope I started to giggle like a little girl...and I cried. I knew God was there, that he, and whoever prayed for me, had helped me. And then I laughed some more and thought how if God can help with the little stuff, and show himself to me, well then heck, why not the big stuff too? The stuff that seems so overwhelming to me, that I feel so helpless with, like nothing it going to work...He can help.

And all of this, over two small pieces of paper that say I get to get in to Soldier Field, at 7pm on September 12th, Chicago, IL.

Wow.

OK...just a paralell for you. I often...I mean OFTEN pray for God to help me find pieces of clothing/swimsuits/socks for the children when I am hurriedly scrounging through piles of laundry (sometimes dirty...sometimes clean). And sooooo often He helps me find the item instantly! It's so great isn't it! Congrats on finding them!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
