I wrote my last post on March 4th which was a good day for musicians. If you think about it, you will get it. Hope all has been well with you all. I was just checking my friends' blogs to try to catch up on their lives. I thought I would give you a quick update on mine.
Work is going fine, I guess. My 'temporary' job is up at the end of the month but I have been trusting the Lord that He knows what will happen and that it is His will for me. I think the Lord is also testing my patience too in this situation. It's good to have your patience tested once in a while. I wasn't going to ask my supervisor if she had heard anything yet but she asked me about vacation days that I wanted to take and I decided to bring up the subject of my job. This happened on Wednesday this week. She said no but as far as she is concerned I have a full time job. We'll just wait and see if anything comes up between now and 11 days from now. Thanks for your prayers in this, too.
You may be wondering about the title of this post. I had asked a manager at work for his mileage log for the month and if I didn't get it he would be taxed on his allowance. He comes to me and asks if I have a wild streak in me and wonders if I go out of control. Me? Out of control? Wild streak? That would be a rare sighting! He asked my coworkers about that and they laughed. Maybe it was a moment you had to be there. On the 'waiting for road signs', I went in and got my eyes checked last week. It had been a long time since I last got them checked. I always LOOK forward to getting them checked because it's exciting. A new pair of glasses were to be in order and they are in...I have to wait until next week to get them as it will be payroll again on Monday.
Bible study has been great the last couple weeks. We were in the last part of Romans 11 with the doxology and the first part of Romans 12 where it talks about living sacrifices and spiritual gifts. They both had a word study each lesson and I was happy to GET to do them!
Well, this 'wild' woman is excited to go to a concert on Sunday with a dear friend and she is LOOKing forward to it!!!

Math lover's Day
Howdy! I know it's been a while since I have posted but thought I should share this with everyone. Yesterday, March 3, 2009 was 'Square Root Day'. Think about it for a minute. Ok...it's called that because three is the square root of nine. 3/3/09. This day only happens about nine times in a century so hope you all enjoyed it! Me being a numbers person did. It was quite cool when in Bible study we studied about the root and branches in Romans 11:16-24. Hmm, after going to get my Bible, I should do a word study on the word, root. Stay tuned...
Meanwhile, here is a part of the Romans passage.
"For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree. were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you." Romans 11:16-18 NKJV
Okay, I am going to do the word study now!
"And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people, for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious." Is 11:10 Ooh, I just read verse 11 and it talks of the remnant that He will recover. We talked also of the remnant that God chose by grace in Romans 11. Here is verse 11 of Is 11:
"It shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." Yes, so I went on to verse 12. God dispersed the Jews because they were not obedient to Him. Then after a period of time, He brought them back together again.
"But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away." Matthew 13:6 This was in the story of the sower that Jesus told.
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:10 This reminds me of the verse where it says you can only serve one master, and that better not be money!
"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." Col 2:6-7 I like this verse.
"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things as the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." Revelation 22:16
Hope you enjoyed the Root study! Have a great and blessed rest of the week!
