I just wanted to let y’all know that I’ve decided to take this week off from the blog. Nothing’s wrong and my head is filled with so many things I want to share from the weekend, including how I was almost certain I was going to die at Domino’s Pizza in New Orleans on Friday night.
All I could think was I can’t believe it’s going to all end with a tombstone that reads, “She really wanted that $4.00 pepperoni pizza”.
But I have to say that it ended up being one of the best pepperoni pizzas I’ve ever had. I’ve always heard that near death experiences heighten all your senses and give you a renewed sense of gratitude and that’s how I felt as I devoured that pizza in Room 1203 of the Hotel Pere Marquette.
Anyway, I’ve just felt a sense of God asking me to set aside the blog this week and focus on Him. So that’s what I’m going to do.
I’ve scheduled some old posts to auto-post for the rest of the week and I will be back next Monday with all-new useless stories about whatever happens in the meantime.
Y’all have a great week.
SO no 12 step program for us this week just colddd tturkey.?.no post all weeeekkk..??…
Just kiddin.. step in the ever lasting arms of Jesus =)
Is this even legal – you taking a week off??
Good move, listening to God and all. Have a great week!
When God talks, we’ve gotta listen, so good for you. I’m glad you’ve set up some auto reposts because my morning just wouldn’t be complete without being able to read your blog.
I will definitely miss your blog each day, but I look forward to the auto reposts. have a great week!
Very good idea, listening to God. I’m glad you wrote that.
Have a great week with Him.
Looking forward to hearing about your week focused on Him!
Good for you! I will be praying for you!
Four dollar pizza??? In New Orleans???? Wow! You can’t really complain at that price!!
I hope all is well and you find the peace you need.
Enjoy your time off, you will come back refreshed! Amy
Have a great week hanging out in the presence of our Lord!
Thanks. I’ve been praying God would shorten my to-do list since I have less than a week before we leave for TEXAS. This helps.
Have a wonderful week!
This is the perfect week for reflection.. enjoy!
Enjoy your week off!
What a great reason to take the week off.
Enjoy yourself…and Him!
Ah man! I’ll miss your funny post but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Enjoy your time with God! A perfect week to take off and have a blessed Easter!
Love you,
Patty
p.s. if you want to email me about your near death experience that would be great. lol
Awwww,you will be missed. You are my daily dose of laughter! Thanks for even thinking to put us on auto-post!
Focus on Jesus. Our minds can be so bombarded with everything and we fail to meet with the Love of our Life.
Enjoy your mini blogging hiatus! I hope you come back refreshed and with lots of funny stories to share! Please tell me you took a picture of that insanely overstuffed fried crawfish poor boy you ate this weekend when you hung out with Boo-Mama. She made it sound amazing…like the coup de gras of poor boys!
“Be still and know that I am God…”
Oh man you are gonna have a lot to say next week… Have a good week
Thanks for the inspiration; I’ve been struggling with the same thing. Too much time spent reading and writing blogs. See you next week.
I’ve heard that God speaks to people through Pathwords. : )
Good for you! Enjoy!
This is the week of weeks and a great time to stay focused on Him. I wish you a most blessed Easter!
Enjoy your time. And I’m glad you lived to tell about it. :>)
I’ll miss your posts, but totally understand. I look forward to reading your new posts.
Enjoy your time off! Good for you!
Amy
I love how you keep your finger on the pulse of “best.” May this week be filled to the brim and overspilling with blessings.
Love you! And you know…
I like it. Enjoy your time off, and come back with some great stuff!
I know I am suppose to say, have a great week. Enjoy your time off…Blah Blah Blah.But how will I stand it not reading you every day?????????????????
Thank you for leading by example! I’ve been feeling the same way with television lately and though I have been tortured it seems at times, I know it has been the right thing. Thank you!
we’ll miss you but I hope it’s a blessing for you!
Looking forward to hearing more about your pepperoni pizza near death experience.
I just skimmed your post and the gist, according to Groovy, is that you are taking a week off from blogging to eat loads of cheap, high fat pizza.
Amen, sister. Amen.
Well God said take a break and it is really best not to argue with Him.
Enjoy this week and I look forward to reading what comes up.
Love ya.
I’ve been feeling that same way recently. Kudo’s to you for having the discipline to actually step away. I’ll miss ya though. Your blog always brightens my day!!
Its a fabulous week to take off.
Love ya much,
Fran
Blessings to you and your family this Holy Week.
I will miss your daily posts.
Take care and have a wonderfully blessed Easter,
Kaye

I just saw your post about Fiesta. I have been reading your blog a few months now, but didn’t know you were from San Antonio! I grew up in Uvalde, just west of S.A., which we considered, “the big city” and where I have many fond memories from my childhood! I MISS South Texas; the Panhandle is a different part of Texas in SO many ways! I miss the Mexican culture, all of the beautiful trees, the rivers, etc…
Buenos Dias, mi Amiga!
I thought you were going to say something about a Tombstone Pizza . . . enjoy your time off!
Good for you, embrace the time with Him. We will miss you!
I hope you’ll come back to us refreshed!! Can’t wait to hear your all-new useless stories!
But I will *sniff* miss you *sob* in the meantime!
Will miss your posts, but I am encouraged and inspired that you listen to His voice AND follow through!
Looking forward to your auto-posts! 
Enjoy your week off. We’ll miss you!
May you find peace…..calm….comfort…as you focus on Christ and His guiding.
Well, we will miss you and pray for your refreshing this week.
And we shall see how many have Big-Mama-Withdrawl.
I know you two will have an awesome week together. Enjoy the week off!
Props to you! Makes me respect you even more that you’d take a break to spend more time with Him! Have a blessed and glorious week leading up to Easter!!
May God bless your socks off this week!
Do what you gotta do!
Enjoy your time with Him…..may you be awakened and revived!!!
ps. when you come back….I was going to ask you if Caroline has lost her first tooth yet (I am sure I have missed a hilarious post if she has…..) but my 6 yo N just did yesterday and it was all drama. for me as well. funny stuff.
May you have a blessed week!
Enjoy your time with Him! I just read your old post about Ana Anjelica and it broke my heart. No child should live without hope. I will be praying for her and all the children and for God to reveal his plan for me…I want to give as well!
Many Blessings,
Amanda
Enjoy your break! We all need a little reflection and renewal every once and a while and I always feel called to do so in the spring!
I hope that you have been refreshed this week! Have a great Easter weekend remembering ever so much that he died just for you!
God Bless.
it’s like some sort of fate… Last friday night, My hard drive decided to die and i’ve been so sad all week because I couldn’t get online. Seriously, every day, I’m like, ” I wonder what Big mama and the fam are up to?” Then, I finally get computer access and see that you too the week off…. the same week that my computer died!!” I can not tell you how relieved I feel right about now.
