Thankful Thursday: The Loop

I had a friend do a fb post this week about feeling out of the loop. I can relate to that often. I have many "loops" that I am in, and when I get spread to thin I am really not in any of them, just kind of passing though. I don't know...I know what I am trying to say, but I have yet to finish my latte. My free latte. Thank you very much Mr. Ramsey.

Brian and I started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. Although we are not terrible with money, what could it hurt? The thought of paying cash for everything is very appealing to Brian and I, and I don't know about Brian but I never thought it was really obtainable. Now I do though. If I am baking all the bread my family eats, then I most certainly can be disciplined enough to pay cash for my next couch. Just saying.

So the obvious financial benefits are one reason we are doing it, and the other is that Brian and I are trying to get into our church loop. I really like most of the people at my church, but we aren't at the comfort level yet to make buddies, so this is helping. Yep I am seriously adding another loop. Loops are blessings. Loops must be maintained.

I am thankful for Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, and I SERIOUSLY recommend it for anybody, even if you are good with money.

Yesterday I saw two friends at different times, that were once a part of a loop I was in years ago when in college. Over the summer we had a reunion of sorts at our home. Now I had fallen out of the loop, as Brian and I were a little older, and settled down a little faster. Now two of those buddies are starting there families, and we are kind of entering each others lives again. I think it is awesome that we can go over 5 years without hanging out and then pretty much picking up the friendship again like it is nothing. It was never anything personal, just different places in our lives. Our loop is coming back together, and it is nice.

I am thankful for old friends looping back together, and sweet little one month baby girl, Layla Jane, and a soon to be born sweet baby girl Nylah Aniston. :)

Have a wonderful day. Where I live it looks absolutely beautiful. Enjoy the blessings that are so easily overlooked. Be thankful for the loops you are in, and if you are in a dirty stinky rotten loop, for goodness sake get out of it!
