Seeing the Light


So I started my job at the Outback this last weekend. It was very weird getting back into the grove of working. I have to be honest and say that I don't really miss it. I like my other job way better (being a mommy). It is not a very difficult job, so that is nice. I would have to say the hardest part is not reaching to someones plate and eating there Bloomin Onion!! The smell kills me every time. Anyway, on Saturday there was a wait for about 40-50 minutes. I saw this couple and they just had joy in there eyes and contentment. Others around them were annoyed and just wanting to get to there table. Never talking to them I felt that we had a connection some how....they did look familiar, but I just felt connected. Anyway....once I got around to seating them I did my thing and ask how they were doing blah blah and she said "great, but how about you?" I replied and they stated there were on there 4th kid as well (she overheard me say it to someone else) So I went on to my duties, but I just wanted to talk to them more...young fun hip couple....so as I was going to the restroom I asked them how there "date night was going?" they said great and I then continued to ask if they new Aaron Spiro (I was like maybe that is why I have seen them before) they said, no...why? I told them they look familiar and just wondering if that is the connection. They said they just moved here and started a church in Kirkland called Journey. I was like oh....I go to Grace. I said Aaron goes to Soma in Tacoma (was that intended to rhyme?). So apparently we are all part of the Acts 29 network and he knows our pastor from a conference. Anyway long story short. I saw Jesus in them. I new the connection we had was Him and that just excites me so much. Questioning them was just my way of confirming it I guess. My hope and prayer is that when I am out people will recognize my lamp and see the light burning like I did in them.

  1. Outback huh?! I laughed when you said you wanted to grab peoples awesome blossom - that was funny. I remember when I worked at a little Mexican restaurant and would serve nachos and every time I'd want to say...so uhhhh, you want to give me one of those?! :) I too hope my light shines through to others. That's neat that you could tell there was something different about that couple. So it's true you do know them, they're your brother and sister in Christ!

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
