Billy Blanks and Tamilee Webb are cooler than Hillary Clinton
I went and voted today. It was thrilling. I think there were about 5 other people in there at the same time as me, I'm hoping more went to the poles to vote after work! I hate presidential elections...I mean I'm grateful we get to choose our leader, but I hate it because none of the candidates are ever going to be perfectly aligned with what we want. All I know is that I never want to see Hillary Clinton in office, she is a crazy woman and is evil....just look at her pictures, she has this creepy little smirk on her face all the time!!
And I'm certainly ready for some warmer weather and sunnier days; this grayness is starting to take its toll on me. I woke up this morning and laid in bed for about 30 minutes doing nothing....and then progressed into my day with some excercise (You would think Tamilee Webb would be old by now...in the 80's she was thriving in her spandex underwear and beige hose with those white, scrunched socks.....I was surprised to see a recent workout video she did a couple years back....she is still a stick and looks like she's 20.....what is that all about?), then some laundry and cleaning in the house, and then did some shopping for work and voted. I got home and my mom gently reminded me that we have a tea house meeting tonight where I snapped, "I know....." with that punky little attitude I get sometimes. It was at this point that I realized I'm not just ready for a change of weather but a change of life in general.
I'm sick of just living the mundane, plugging away through every day just to get to the next. I'm worried that on the missions trip I'll be working every day just to get closer to getting back home, where I feel the same way only I don't know where I'm working towards. Does this make any sense? I start wishing I had some certain calling, like how people feel when they're called to the ministry or to be a singer or an interpretive dancer...hahaha....okay maybe not the dancer, but you get the idea. I know, I know.....I'm called to be a chef. I know it's my calling. But I sometimes feel like it's not enough.....like I'm missing out on something. Will I do it forever? I don't know. Which makes me wonder, should I go back to school for something else, just in case? Ugh. It disgusts me sometimes. It disgusts me that I'm so unable to focus on where God has me now and live every day FOR that day, and enjoy it, and not just to get to the next day.
On a lighter note, today during my workout (Tae Bo rocks...haha) Billy Blanks said, "Now, you're stinky, hairy leg should always be bent!" I started laughing and was like, "what?" Silly me, he said, "Your stationary leg should always be bent." I think he's cool. And Tamilee. I like them better than Hillary.

Hey Libby :-)
Good post. Billy Banks rocks. I have his believers workout (I don't know if he's really a believer or just trying to sell tapes) and I really do love it!! Maybe Billy should run for President :-)
Don't get frustrated girl. You might not feel like your called to anything specific or like being a Chef is not enough - but that's not true. Every single day that you leave an awesome post or encourage someone with your laugh or your smile - your living out your calling. I know you know this - but not everyone is called to be a Pastor or a Worship Leader (which you'd be good at) or whatever - but everyone's calling - whatever that is - is just as important as the next. It is ENOUGH if your doing what God wants you to do. We all matter in the kingdom - we're all part of the big picture. I know you know that - but I thought I would remind you :-) Personally I think your awesome and I miss seeing your smiling face on worship all the time.
Your missions trip is going to rock - I will be praying for you. GOD is taking you there to be a blessing to someone else - and for others to be a blessing to you. Live in the moment while you are there and enjoy what God brings to you each day. You never know - it could be life changing :-)
Take care Libby - I'll be praying for you -
Tami
Hey Libby,
I have come to believe, it's when we stop trying to figure it all out and just seek Him that we will begin to see the glimpses into where He is leading us. Relax, and just spend time with the Lord, seek Him for the everyday and all the rest will come.
Love ya,
it's truely amazing that Tamilee hasn't aged in like 25 years!
