Red Tide

Posted by KW |


So this morning I woke up early... as I usually do and thought what a nice morning to sit outside and read my daily devotional. It was such an awesome morning and I sat outside on my outdoor couch and took it all in. The sunrise was amazing... and the wind was blowing and I really thought and prayed about how beautiful a morning that God created. Little did He tell me in my heartfelt prayer that I was sitting in absorbing what is called"Red Tide". For those of you who do not know what Red Tide is, you can check it out at http://www.redtideonline.com/ Needless to say, I went upstairs a few minutes later and thought I wanted to rub my eyes until they popped out... a few minutes later the sneezing started. I am still sneezing at the moment. I am sure that everyone in my office wants to strangle me right now because when I say "sneeze" you have no idea unless you have been in the same room with me. God blessed me with allergies at a young age. My poor family! When I sneeze, it starts in my toes, goes through my stomach, in to my lungs, and out my nose with a sound that would make birds fall out of trees. And might I add, after each sneeze, my abs hurt, my shoulders ache and I feel like I have run a marathon. So this morning, I have exercised while sitting here at my desk. I have done 100 marathons, my abs now resemble a six pack and my shoulders, well they probably look a little like "The Hulk". As for my toes, they seem a little skinnier now, I guess maybe because that is where all the rumbling of my sneeze starts.

But enough about my constant ability to acquire the most awkward symptoms and physical reactions to things of nature... I need to get back to work... and yes, I blogged at work... I decided that this would be a good break for me. By the way... I love this "blog" idea. I love to write.... and now I really look forward to sharing my days with you all. I am sure, since I am now possibly addicted to this blog thing that there might be a blog posted later today as well. My days are usually eventful. And one thing that I must add that I am proud to say, Bailey, my beloved Schipperke, sat beside of me this morning out in the "red tide" and for the first morning EVER, obeyed me when I told him not to bark at the dogs walking by. I have been working on this with him for about 6 months... so PROGRESS PROGRESS PROGRESS... I think tomorrow morning I might just have to video him, because as much as he obeys, he struggles under his breath and I think the small little whines that I hear are really deep barks within... wanting to creep out! It is unbelievably hilarious...

I want to share with you all my scripture this morning... Revelations 1:4-8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

I serve an AWESOME God. I love you all! Have a blessed day!

You are hilarious! Hulk shoulders and a 6-pack! I hate that you were subjected to the red tide... I too am very allergic, but I guess the state forest between me and the beach helps! Get well soon, so we can play some T-E-N-N-I-S! WOOHOO! Maybe you being under the weather gives me a chance to warm up a little. HA... look out!
