So what do you guys think??

i have a daily calendar...made up of the billboard signs that are meant to be funny messages from God...here's what todays said

"Friends are God's way of apologizing for our families"

hmm...got me to thinkin' - that seemed kinda harsh to me - i mean, God shouldn't have to apologize for anything...should He? He's in charge...He knows everything, He plans everything...so we have our families for a reason right? His reason, not ours

what do you guys think???

what do i want to be when i grow up?

why are there so many things that i want to be and do? you'd think i was a teenager or something!! in 17 days i'm going to be 35 - shouldn't i have things figured out by now???? ARGH!!

got this in an email...

and wanted to share it...

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

My new favorite movie - The Lake House

I watched The Lake House – wow – GREAT movie!!! So romantic (SIGH) So anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself, “oh poor me. Never going to find that kind of love. Stuff like that doesn’t happen in real life.” And so on and so forth. Which in itself is strange because I'm usally like, "I don't ever want to be married or have a relationship"

I went out to my car to take the movie back and on KLOVE is the song “Breathe” with the words, “I’m desperate for You” comes on the radio. Then after I’m leaving the store, the song “Love Song for a Savior” with the words, "I want to fall in love with You” comes on…hmm… guess what God was telling me?? Fall in love with Him…be desperate for Him…He’ll take care of the rest!!

1:00 pm today!!

i will be at the salon getting my hair colored!! i can't wait! it's been forever (or so it seems) since i've had it colored.

getting rid of the blonde - going darker - more my natural color - with some thin blonde streaks

You have new Picture Mail!

Dallas took this picture of herself and Ryan. Isn't it cute?!?

You have new Picture Mail!

The keys to my new apartment!! This is the coolest thing! Thank you Jesus!!

the new meaning of Halloween??

ok...so after saturday night, and seeing different people out for halloween parties...i've decided there must be a new meaning to halloween:

a night when women wear the least amount of clothing and degrade themselves.

SIGH - how sad

ok...so God is good!! really, really good!

i'm moving into a new apartment - not the stinky cat smelling one - not even one through the reno housing authority - but one i got on my own - well not really on my own - but through God!!

this is big - REALLY BIG - for me.

i'm moving into a two bedroom, one and a half bath apartment! i can tell you that on my own - i would not have gotten this apartment - but with God - i did!!

once again, it's because i'm doing what God wants me to do - not what i want to do - not what other people want me to do - but because i'm relying on God and listening to Him.

i'm so excited! i cannot wait to have a place of my own - with my things in it - a place for ryan - and a place for his things - a place for US!!!

can you tell i'm happy???

turn up your speakers!

i added music again! just don't want you to miss it
