hopefully you can see this video... its good!

Isn't it amazing how God always seems to know what message I need to hear....

So I made a HUGE mistake last week (HUGE-insert Donald Trump saying YUGE!) and of course it was a mess and not good and just plan ugly... well today's message was about what to do after we make mistakes and it was like "WOAH", I needed to hear this. So powerful. Of course I've been sad and mopey and feeling down in the friggin dumps over this stupid issue, that God is probably like "DUDE, let it go!" and my mom is even singing frozen to me!

And this quote jumped out at me during the sermon:

“Let the Savior take care of your own problems, so I can be a blessing to someone else and their problems” Pastor Eric Dykstra

Also I found this hymn and I am in LOVE with it... so perfect for what I'm going through.....

check it out! 

So this weekend was just a self care weekend, I'm digging that verbage, good excuse for an introvert! LOL! 

Hope you all have a great week and if you have an tips on how to get over a mistake that you've made, I'd love to hear about it.

Praying for you all, just remember that God loves us no matter what! I feel like He always looks down on me and is like "Child you are CRAZY, but I still love you so much!"

Here's to a good week! 

Happy New Years!

So you might ask how I rang in the new year?? I watched the Disney World fireworks (they are an hour ahead of CST) and then went to bed.. LOL! I'm so old and it's been so cold lately... plus I'm way too introverted to do anything! I love that I have an introverted sister too! we were fb messaging each other, probably from our couches... LOL!

And then New Years day- I did errands (bought a couple pairs of cute dress pants for work on sale-yah!) although sad because Sears is going out of business... I think they were too much of a best kept secret (they haven an awesome rewards program, I even bought a dress for a wedding last fall for $1... FOR REAL!?!?!? how can you not love that... I think I was so in shock when the cashier said the total came to a dollar and some change. so if you have a sears in your area, sign up for the rewards program! rant over!

And the rest was working out and watching HGTV, they always do new shows on New Years day (I think I have a new new years tradition for my introverted self!) 

After talking with God tonight.... I think 2018 is going to be a great year!

Blessings to the year ahead!

PS olympic skating trials start on Wed and then olympics are a little over a month away!!! I'm so excited! :)

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had enjoyed time with your loved ones! The Sommers family had so much fun (as always!) 

My parents went to Albany to get my favorite pizza (YUMMY-thanks parents) and then we proceeded to EAT! my stomach is still recovering (time to get back on plan starting now!) and then sister got me all dolled up for Christmas Eve services. She is so talented with hair and make up (new career move perhaps deetie?)

Christmas Eve services were great, although deetie wasn't feeling well, so no Sommers family picture in front of the tree. :( 

We then came home and continued to eat and open PRESENTS! but we always read the Christmas story from the bible first, which I love! Also funny story during church we took communion and when my sister passed it to me, so passed it like SUPER fast, I couldn't even put the cup back fast, it was so funny, we both cracked up laughing (oops-now I remember why we always sat in the back!).

I got a vaccum from my siblings so I'm so excited to clean! LOL! I think that officially means I'm old! ha!

We then ended up playing games like all night long (way past my bed time-again I'm old!) and we played Krebs (or is it Kreps?) but me and sister didn't do very well. Oh well. 

We finally went to bed and when I woke sister up on Christmas morning I said "Hey, so there was a strange man here last night and he said 'ho, ho, ho'..... we opened santa gifts and then Kevin and his new girlfriend (who is great!) went to her family for Christmas and then we proceeded to eat and sleep (notice a theme at the Sommers house?) ha! 

So much fun! I hope your Christmas was equally fabulous!

Here's to a great 2018 and now its time to get back into the working out regime! LOL!

Update on my job! 5 months on 11/26

"Let our hearts overflow with thankfulness..." - Colossians 2:7

Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we will be closed Thursday, November 23rd and Friday, November 24th.

Nystrom & Associates, Ltd.

I LOVE my job! AND my boss made sure that we knew that a nativity set would be put up behind the front desk and its like a kids play set, but its SO cute! 

Also I had lot's of positive interactions with patients yesterday. One of them told me she always appreciates that her don't make her feel crazy and I told her that everyone (myself included) have stuff they go through, but it just warmed my heart that she told me that.

I also had another guy tell me I do a great job in front of one of our doctors! And then we had another patient tell me and another receptionists how much she likes all of us at Nystrom. 

Don't get me wrong though, there are tough days/times working in mental health, but its so rewarding when I see people graduate from our chemical dependency groups. I just had one guy graduate who we all loved and he was so super nice, but he said he would visit every so often and would come check out our new building in Sartell when its open next summer.

So things are good at the job front after almost 5 months!

Sad

Also Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for.... family and good health!
