Tuesday Tea Talk



Good Morning! So I was thinking the other day about the love for tea my mother and aunt instilled in my sister and I growing up. The funny thing is I didn't even like tea until the last few years but I drank it whole heartedly because of all the warm memories it brought back. My great grandmother left all the women in the family hand painted tea cups and it was so much fun when my aunt would bring them  out on a tray, with tea and creamer (flavored ones of course). The cups are beautiful and the moments we shared drinking from them were wonderful. Tea time was always a great way to chat and share with each other. 
Which is what brought me to come up with Tuesday Tea Talk. My sister and I still have our tea time together talking about our troubles and our successes and I would love to share that time with all of you. Okay so there are not a lot of you yet but there will be and I hope that Tuesday Tea Talk will grow into something great. 

I love this daily devotional for women!

Lately things have been well stressful. Its not easy going to school and working, much less paying for school and everything else. There are days I can get so frustrated I can't even sleep that night, thinking of all the things I am worried about paying or needing to get done or the fact that my husband refuses to get his wisdom teeth out or fix his cavity and because I am a nursing student I know how your oral health affects your over all health. Does that sound crazy?! Yes it does :/ and yeah I am a bit of a worry wart! So what does my new daily devotional book have to do with all of that? Everything! Just read the title: 
"Delight yourself in the Lord... even on Bad Hair Days" written by Sandra D. Bricker, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, Debby Mayne, and Trish Perry
This book has been a great reminder that even on my worst days God has a plan for me and its going to be okay! My new doctor recently told me to find ways to relax and clear my mind at night, so before bed I read this book and clear my crazy head. 

On a side note my wonderful theory instructor sent me home with these:
My favorite candy!!!
She had passed them around to the whole class starting with me and I guess the excited look on my face and the fact that I said I didn't want to share them may have led her to believe I would enjoy taking the rest home. Yes I did! Don't tell the Hubby! Oh yeah he reads this.....oops!

What makes you feel crazy? Are you a worry wart like me?
