Random life
>> Wednesday, July 22, 2009
I took the kids to a bubble show that they earned for reading library books. On the way home it was decided (by me) that ice cream should be consumed. McDonalds... 89cents each :D
We went to the zoo and this turtle liked me. He came over and sat there looking at me right across the glass! I was a little disturbed. 
Leah was walking along at the zoo and got gum stuck to her foot, of course we did have to take a picture of it :D
I saw this shirt at Walmart on clearance... My siblings said it was "me" so I got it :D *looks cute*
We were goofing around at the park and dad decided to give a head standing lesson! Now y'all know where we got it from....
My Dream; My Future...
>> Tuesday, July 21, 2009
So school is out and I have graduated, not only do I now face hoards of people who know me when I “was this big” wanting to know what I am doing with my life but my mail box flooded with colleges telling me to, “Dream B!G” and, “Experience the difference” not to mention, “We Believe you belong here” . Everyone wants to know what I am doing with my life, where I will go to college, when, and what for. I can hardly blame them; I’ve asked myself that question every couple days for the past year.
I looked into colleges, attended Northeast Community College for one summer semester just to take two short classes, and weighed my options. I will admit that the idea of being independent and doing something people would approve of with my life was appealing at first. Disclaimer: I am NOT saying that anything whatsoever is wrong with that, just hear me out. :D
But, that is not what I really wanted to do with my life. Ever since I was little all I wanted to do was be a good wife and mommy. I wanted to have a man that was mine to love with all my heart. I wanted to give him children we could raise in the love and admonition of the Lord. I don’t need a college education for that but as y’all know I can’t exactly bring that about by myself. While some of y’all may disagree with me, I am quite solidly convinced that it is the man’s place to initiate the relationship, not mine.
As I looked ahead to this winter I was thinking: “Hey, I can go to college and like get a teaching degree or do Nutrition to pass the time while I wait for Prince Charming”. I just wanted to get to the point where I that my life in someone’s hands and then they could decide what we did with our lives and I would follow him.
The more I thought about it I remembered that I have already committed my life to someone, I have committed my life in its entirety to Jesus Christ. He has known since the beginning of time just exactly when every breath I take will be. He holds my future and releases it to me one day at a time.
When people ask me what I am doing with my life, I get weird looks when I tell them but I don’t even care anymore.
So to answer the infamous question concerning my future plans, I am living my future; every day one at a time, for my Hero, Savior, Lover, and Lord.

Ok so I have not blogged and people are telling me my blog is boring... *ouch*
I will blog, just maybe not tonight!
I love y'all and 'I'll be back"
Laughing With?
In the past few days I have listened to this haunting song by Regina Spektor a few times and have played it for anyone who would listen. Every time I hear it the same question burns in my mind. What does she mean by the last line " We are all laughing with God" ? You listen and tell me what you think!
Lyrics:
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood
*Chorus*
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very
poor
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God
The Motions
>> Sunday, June 28, 2009
This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve
gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything?
Instead of going through the motions
No regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something
Take me all the way
-Matthew West

We saw this the other day and it made me think of you.
It was a full arc of a double rainbow.
Stand in the Rain
>> Tuesday, June 16, 2009
"She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down.
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain!"
-SuperChic(k)
But I love you any way
"They say that you're ornery and that you drive them insane
I hear them whine about you both night and day
And it breaks my heart
Because they can't see through your pain
Beneath the hard and steady front you show
Is a heart that's pure and soft
But they'll never know that side of you
Cuz' they never take the time to learn the truth
But I love you anyway!
And I don't care what they say
Sure you're not perfect and ya you've got your faults
But it sure doesn't help when they rub the wounds with salt
I see you standing tall and hard
And it tears me all apart
I guess I just want you to know
That no matter where you go...
I love you anyway!"
-Anonymous
You know who you are, and I love you anyway! ;-)
Wisdom teeth...or lack thereof
>> Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Yesterday I went under...under everything including the knife. They told me that most operations to remove 4 wisdom teeth are no big deal and take 20-30 min...as always, I was the exception and mine were "a pain to get out, came out in pieces, and took an hour to remove" I started to wake up in the middle but they knocked me out again. After debating how secure I felt in my looks I decided to go a head and post pictures...
I live in a house full of sweeties who have been bringing me flowers, letting me sleep with their beloved AFLAC duck, cooking breakfast for me, and showing up numerous times a day to admire my swelling, listen to me say that it "HURTS", and ask if they can possibly get me anything. I am truly very blessed!

I got the chance a few weeks ago to go to Wisconsin. It was beautiful!
This is me getting my "cultural experience" :D
Stretching
>> Saturday, May 16, 2009
As some of you know I have been working for the past oh 9 months or so stretching to be able to do the splits. Both kinds of splits. A little bit at a time every night or so I would push my self closer and closer to the floor. Some days I would go so far the night before that I had to take a few days off to allow my body time to adjust. A few weeks ago I finally reached the point where I could do the "normal" splits without stretching first. (I am still about 3 in from the floor with the Chinese splits).
Something else has been happening in my life the last few months that I realized this evening was a striking parallel to my "splits exercising". God has been stretching me. Little by little He has been molding me to His image. There have been days when I hurt so bad from the constant stretching, and He would give me a little time of bliss to rest before He added more pressure.
If I take a little time every day to quick do the splits it may be a long time before I lose the ability to do them. Likewise (even though God is never done teaching me) if I put into practice daily what He is teaching me now, He can use it for His glory and use the time we have to bring more things into my life that draw me closer to Him.
I lift my eyes...
>> Thursday, May 14, 2009
" 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore."
-Psalm 121
