I need to post something.

But I don't know of anything to post. Like usual, lol. You know, life is a roller coaster, with a lot of ups and downs. Recently there has been a lot of downs, but right now there is a really big up!! Thank you, Jesus!! I think I'm going to start a afgan for a baby. It might be finished by the time one of my sisters gets married and has a baby. lol. But hopefully I can have it finished before then. I'm just gonna leave this as a small post because there are a lot better things to spend my time on than the computer. :D :D :D

Good day!

No comments?!?!

I got on this afternoon and there were no comments to moderate :""(. Today was an okay day. I'm sick right now, my little neice gave me a cold. Even though, I'd rather have seen my neice and gotten sick, then not having seen my neice and have not gotten sick. Lol! I'm not sure quite what to say. Other than that it definatly works better to do what Jesus says..... Some how, we all know this, but we all have to "just make sure of it" :P lol. Post a comment if you read my blog, please!! Generaly that gives me something to talk about.
I finally finished a cross stitch thingy I have been working on for 2 1/2 years! lol, I'm rather slow at things like that. I don't usually have the time for things like that. Right now I'm on a break from school, so I'm happy about that. :D Except that the reason I'm on a break is that I'm sick.... Sorry to keep saying that, that is just what is on my mind, I just can't really think.....

Anyway, Have a blessed day and Happy Holidays!!!

A post :P

I'm not quite sure what to say right now. lol, I'll start with tis: Sorry I haven't posted in so long, I've been busy on top of my computer not working. I've been working on my part time job some of the time and enjoying family that come here from around the country for a wedding. The wedding was awesome! The Lord revealed things to many people through great brothers and sisters in Christ there. It was just an awesome time!

People ask me how I'm doing, and I'm not sure what to respond. How I'm doing or HOW I'm doing. You know what I mean? Life has its various ups and downs, and currently there seems to be a lot of downs. But I'm still thankful, happy, and joyful. As I told my sister the other night, "Situations like these strenghten your faith. I just my faith wasn't so hard to strenghten!" But its all part of the training proccess the Lord has for me :).

You know, I'm glad the Lord loves me. I sure need that love. I'm also glad He has a lot of patience, because I'm sure I try it often :D.

Why would someone want to decive? I've been told I'm to honest for my own good. That is not true, honesty is one of THE BEST traits ever. That is one lesson it sure has been taken awhile for me to learn fully. I'm glad that I don't have to face it alone, though, Jesus is there with me! I love you, Jesus.

Have a good day everyone. I hope this doesn't come across as despairing or despondant. I've just been going through a few hard times. But I'm still happy :

Thinking.......

Hello!!! I was able to post sooner than I thought! Hey, Please, leave a comment if you read this!!

Today I heard a song that goes: "...There is nothing else as wonderful as I...". So, if we are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves, and this is how the world views themselves, then to make the world see that we are loving them as we love ourselves, we must make nothing (besides JESUS of course :) ) else as wonderful as them. And when it says 'neighbor' here, it doesn't mean *JUST* your physical neighbor, it means anyone, anywhere that is around you. Just an interesting thought that the Lord showed me today. Thought it might bless someone.

I would also like prayers that I feel better soon. I've been coughing a lot and I don't want to get my *CUTE* little niece sick.

Hello

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted. I have been very busy lately.

On Thursday I got to make Thanksgiving dinner ( :) ) because my mom had penumia ( :""""( ). On Friday we had friends over, and Saturday we had a friend over. On Sunday I finally got a little time to rest :D except that I went shopping with my mom! :D :D Tonight we had a friend over. My school has been long recently, even though I've gotten to cut some things back. I'm glad God's grace covers my little attitude problems. Recently I've been have a lot of trouble with that :"( . But God is and always has been forgiving and loving. On Sunday we visited a church and the Pastor showed a verse that was very fitting. I don't remember the rest of the verse but this part is what struck me (it does every time!) is basicly that even when we fall flat on our faces, God still has our hand clasp TIGHTLY in his. I can't empize it enough. It has really helped me in these past few days.

Tommorow is also busy, I am going with one of my colleagues to a fabric store to get fabric for costumes for our workplace!! I can't wait! I will also be getting crafts so that I can make them to sell. On Wednesday, though, is the BEST of all!!! My oldest brother and his wife and baby are coming in from out west!!! I can't wait!!! I haven't seen my neice since March! And that is way too long, considering that between then and now, she has learned to walk, and talk :(((((((((((((((((((((((( I've missed too much so far :( Oh well, It will be really fun to see them!!! Also coming up we have a friends wedding to go too!!! I don't know if I will be able to post much this month! Any way, I hope I'm making sense because I'm tired and should go to bed!

God Bless you!!!

Good Evening everyone!

Today I am thankful for thrift stores! My mom and I spent the morning browsing through one of our local thrift stores. I had a lot of fun. I love the small town atmosphere where everyone is friendly. In that way I miss living where we used to live in a town of 250. When we first moved to the area we are in now, I really hated it. I did not want to move. I grew up in the north, and suddenly had to move to the south. I didn't like it. I hate the state we lived in. But now that Jesus has been teaching me to be thankful in all things, I have accepted where we live. And I love our area! And I'm slowly adjusting to living in the south, it is really hard though. I don't think I will ever get used to the teasing though. When I'm in the North, I get made fun of for living in the South. When I'm in the South, I get teased for not having a southern accent. Even though I will never get used to the teasing, Jesus has made it so that it no longer stings. I like the saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names could NEVER hurt me." Its so true!


Today I am also thankful for phones. I just had a wonderful convesation with my oldest sister! I've had an awesome time all day. I love shopping with my mom! We also did our Walmart run today! That is always fun!

Have a blessed weekend!

Thank you everyone!

At first when I saw the posts I was like, who are these people. And then I started reading the posts! THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!! Those posts really made my day!! And thank you especially Hannah! And yes, I have known Hannah since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I met her when I was only 6 months old. I also have the pleasure of sharing her birthday!

Today I am thankful for: My loving, God fearing parents that I love so dearly!!

Recently God has been teaching me to be thankful in everything. I can definately say that it hasn't been easy recently. I am really glad that we don't have to walk through life alone. I know that before I *FULLY* gave my whole life to Jesus that I could not control my temper, I learned to mask it in my face, but I couldn't really conquer it. I told Jesus that he could do anything he wanted with my life. Now, through Jesus's awesome love, I have learned to control it. I mean it isn't even there anymore!!!! PRAISE YOU JESUS!!! I have also learned that it takes time to change your heart from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh (figurativly speaking) but its deffinatly worth the wait!!!!!

Anyway! Have a awesome, God filled day!!!

Today I am thankful for:

Today I am thankful for: good advice! You know, the bible is full of it. For example, "count your many blessings". This is not a commandment, it is good advice. I have found that if you count your blessings, or look for something to be thankful about, then it is easier to be happy. It helps you look on the bright side of life!

What are you thankful for today?
