So I found this in a box full of junk the other day... I'm not sure exactly of the events that led up to this being written, but it looks like my cousin's handwriting... the bottom says "In Memory of 3/26/99. Explanation anyone?  Posted by Hello

Shorty.

Ok, this is a short blog, but I just don't have much to say. Or rather, I don't know exactly what emotions I'm having lately. I'm out of sorts and a bit confused. What's new, huh?

I'm looking forward to this weekend. I get to hang out with a dear friend tonight and I plan on watching some movies (Troy!) and some episodes of Gilmore Girls. I'm just going to enjoy being alone... which is something I haven't said in a long time.

And tomorrow night is my grandma's bday dinner... so while I don't like the food, 50 Yard Line has some great blueberry muffins! YUM!

Well, that's all for now. Have a great weekend peeps!

Just posting some thoughts...

So at the moment, I've just called all my friends. All of whom are out, which is pretty understandable since "normal" churches have Sunday night things. I'm not sure really exactly what I want to talk about... I just feel like I need someone at the moment. And that's funny too, b/c there have been more people around me lately this week then ever before, which is also a little overwhelming. I know I like hanging out with people but I guess somehow underneath it all I might be a loner. Even though , I also hate being alone... Make sense? Probably not. Don't worry, it doesn't to me either.
I guess this week I've been overanalyzing life... which is the unpleasant side effect of having that charming melancholy personality. This week, I have really been desiring a closer walk with God. I picked up a devo, the One Year bible to read with a friend, and this other book about being a woman with confidence. Not sure if its good but it was $3 and I need help in that area.
I'm sure this is totally Satan but I've also felt like I can't trust God. Crazy, since out of everyone in the world, including family, He's the only one waiting to shower me with His perfect love. I guess I'm getting antsy about my future. No, more like selfish. When I can I figure out what I want to do in life, and when will it become available to me... when will it be my turn to have that special someone in life. Will I be able to find something to make enough money to totally support myself in the future? I mean, money isn't everything but I do have to make a certain amount... Then there's the stupid little paranoias... lol Of course, my love life (lack of actually) is a really good paranoia... but even something stupid like how I am scared to walk Gus on my own b/c I am scared of other dogs. I hate it. But you know, that pup needs exercise and so do I. Those are things I should just trust God on to watch out over me. The bible does say that God makes sure even birds get the food they need, so I should trust him to provide for my future and the desires of my heart. I'm feeling weighed down by it though.
A friend told me some really great news this week and I am very happy for that person. Yet, at the same time, I felt like crying. Not sure exactly why but then that night all I needed was someone there, and I couldn't do anything b/c you don't need to wake up someone at midnight. Even now though, I can't exactly pin down what my emotions were or what I wanted to say... But I do know that in those times of where I feel alone and lost, that's when I need God. My prayer and plea to God is that I get to the point where anytime I feel like that, I can feel God just pouring his love out on me. That's my prayer at this moment, that God will totally start impacting me.
And on that note, I'm going to start reading the confidence book, go get some yogurt and try to be productive by doing some laundry.

P.S. Sorry so ramble-y.

Inauguration Day!

So I started this morning in a good mood and got cranky walking across the parking lot. There was this car that pretty much ran me over with bumper stickers on it for Kerry/Edwards and "God is not a republican".... now I am well aware that God does not have a political party and probably 100% goes for some things that each party holds dearly. BUT it just annoys me that people view others as so closeminded and "godlike" just because we stand up for the morals that the Bible teaches. Of course, those same people can twist scripture to match what they want to believe as well. The sermon at my cuz's church on Sunday proved that one. (Ex. The highest percentage of pastors that have a biblical worldview are Southern Baptist is 71% while the lowest is United Methodist is 27%) Now I'm not saying what denomination you should be at all, but is that not horribly scary that the pastors/priests are not all 100%??? That the church going population is most likely being totally misled by those with a high standing?
Then I go to this website that I visit pretty much all day at work... there are SO many posts about how this is Black Tuesday and that with Bush being reelected that he will destroy the middle class all for helping increase the wealth of the already-rich. Or the nice banners that say "We don't call it Bush Bashing in *state*, we call it thinking."

So sorry this sounds like a rant... and I'm beginning to see that I'm more closeminded than I thought with people that differ from my own beliefs and ideas... No matter what, we are still the luckiest people on earth to be blessed to call this great nation our home. I think we take being an American for granted way to often.

SO whether you are for Bush or against, he still deserves respect and ALL of our prayers that he will do the best of his ability in the coming four years. That would still apply even if Kerry had won. I'm proud of our President, he takes a stand for what he believes is biblical and I think that should be commended. So please lift up "W" and Laura Bush today and continue to lift them up in prayer in the coming months. And more than anything, pray that America will try to find its Godly roots again...

Only two more days till the weekend...

Well, not much to say but I thought I needed to say a little something...

We had another good night at the small group... its nice to have people now. Its very encouraging to see God in other people's lives.

If anyone hasn't seen it, www.jibjab.com has a new video up. I'm sure they are mocking my cute lil' President but I don't care. Its still cute and funny!

Continue to pray for me with the job situation and for my moodiness too. Going through some stuff but I don't want to weigh down the blog!

I pray that God blesses your week!

Tag Board

Ok, so I added a new feature but I'm not sure what I think... Its on the "side bar"... kind of a mini chat room that anyone can see.

So yes, no, undecided? I'm not sure I like where it is, but that's the only place I figured out to put it so far...

Let me know your thoughts.

Is God good or what?!

So we had our first bible study of the year for the singles group... Emily and I were in shock! We had 7 new people show up... now that might not be much to y'all... but to us, that means we tripled our group in one night! AND even more amazing, all the people that came actually talked. No one was really shy! I'm so excited... Keep praying for us. We need all the help we can get.

Way to go God!

So I have to give a shout out to the former preacher's kid. My grandma got me his CD "Dragonfly" and I'm way impressed! His name is Josh Wilson and he's highly talented (IMO). So you can check out his music and order his CDs at:

Tsunami Pictures

I got this site in an email. Let me just say, it totally opened my eyes. I have watched CNN and other channels that have reported the news on the effects of the tsunami, but it didn't fully hit me until I saw these pictures. They are satellite pictures... there are 14 sets of before and after pictures. The receding waterline pictures really blew me away. These people most definitely need our prayers...

2 prayer requests & a praise

Nothing much happening this week... so here's some spiritual stuff.

Prayers:
1. Carol Evan's dad (my mom's friend)... They diagnosed him with prostate cancer but he's so far along that they are only going to treat him to attempt to relieve the pain. The main prayer is for God to move him to salvation.

2. My 'Net friend Amber. She found out today that a friend she has known since kindergarten was killed. John was stabbed by his best friend. Please pray for Amber and John's family. His parents especially as they have outlived their two children (John's sis was killed in a car wreck a couple of years ago).

Praise:
This is awesome! My former bible study leaders Jill and Galli will be on their way to China. They just got a call from an orphanage and will be going to pick up their one year old little girl soon. They will be adding He Jin Lin (means bright and beautiful jade) as a sibling to Jaxon and Mollie. They have been trying to adopt for the last year and a half. Pray for their safety in traveling and that the kids adjust.

This is another favorite of mine... I am so ready for another trip!  Posted by Hello


I'm so excited! Today I found out the dates of the next Marco Island event. So the last weekend in April I will be headed out of TX towards the beach, the boys, and my dear Internet friends!  Posted by Hello

I just had a Wayne's World moment...

So you remember the part where Wayne wrote on the back of the cards that says stuff like "this man has no penis" when he's interviewing the "Boss"? And Garth starts making laughing noises and every time the "Boss" looks at him he quits? Yep, just happened to me. Minus the cards of course.

It had to do with my boss, James, also affectionately nicknamed BJ for "buttjack" (long story)...

Nicole, you remember those books we'd get at the chemistry building? The ones that everyone got that were in their own packaging? Well, we got one of those today. Now, I will say, those books are a little bit weighty. But my boss picked the one up we got in the mail and it literally weighed him over where the book hit the floor. Its not that heavy! He said "Gosh, that's heavy!".... Um, if I can pick it up, anyone could. Weenie man. So yep, I started laughing quietly and he kept looking at me. But I don't think I got caught.

I have more to say about my day, but I'll post later tonight. I need to find a picture! :) Here's to hoping that my scanner works since my printer won't print! Have a good day!
