O.A.R. & a piece of my heart

I know, I know – I’ve been slack’n on here.  I’ve been so busy!  I’m off of work tomorrow and am so excited for the weekend!  We’re going to NYC for an O.A.R. concert.  I have had a few people ask me who O.A.R. is….what?!????  To those questioning, here is a video to spark some recognition or at least some interest.  They are the best band to listen to in the summer, while sitting on the back porch with the smell of BBQ on the grill.  Mmmmmmmm.  Check it out!

And how’s this for some FUN – next week my mom, both of my sisters and myself are all going up to Bar Harbor (haha, yes, I’m going again) for a trip with just us girls!  I am beyond excited.  I know I just got back from Girlcation with my lovies, but this is going to be the first time, in a VERY long time, that it will be just my mom, two sisters and myself on a vacation together.  No kiddos, no men…just us.  Hubsy has a slew of things to get done, so he doesn’t mind that I’ll be leaving the nest, yet again.  Speaking of the hubsy, I wanted to share with you this quote that has become my new life slogan.  I found it while doing my devotional the other day and it has touched my heart in more ways than imaginable – want to share in case it does the same for you!

A wife’s submission requires intelligent participation.  Mere listless, thoughtless subjection is not desirable if ever possible.  The quick wit, the clear moral discernment, the fine instincts of a wife make her a counselor whose influence is invaluable and almost unbounded. – Charles R. Erdmen

Whew, words I want to live by!  I want to daily live a life that suggests clear moral discernment and the fine instincts worthy of being a counselor with invaluable and unbounded influence.  This stretches into SO many aspects of life!  Not only as a wife, but when I’m a mother, in my work place…everywhere.  I know what society thinks of the word “submission”, but I love how this brings to light the fact that Godly submission requires intelligent participation and quick wit.  Pretty much, I desire to be a rock star of a wife who practices this daily.  Here’s to praying God will mold me into a woman of invaluable and unbounded influence!

Oh wait, one more thing before I go.  I am on overload right now with figuring out several different business ideas I have up my sleeve.  None of them are even CLOSE to coming into fruition, but still, it’s taking over my brain.  Are you an entrepreneur?  Do you have any tips for me? 

Have an amazing weekend!
