1,2,3, go!

ok, so i have established a new goal for myself. i want to start running. i know it sounds like a crazy idea but it just has so many pluses to it. i really need to lose weight but actually i really want to do it for more reasons than that. it is such a stress reliever for me. i feel a hundred percent better when i workout. i have also recently cut my hair short. i like it but the girl kinda got scissor happy so i want it to grow some but working out actually helps improve your hair growth also. the owner of my shop and the nail tech are runners. they love it. i had lisa (the nail tech) agree to be my running coach. im so excited. tomorrow will be my first day with her. im sure she will kill me. i just gotta get a mental change that i can do it. i hope to run in the spring water festival. well ok.. jog. soooo maybe tomorrow i will let u know how bad i feel like im dying. lol. cross ya fingers for me.

a different tune of life

Ok for all you locals. there is this new radio station that is soooo fantasticaly awesome! its shine 96.7. http://www.shine967.com/main.html its just a little more cutting edge than some of the other christian stations. i dont know if you're like me and can not stand stations that have deliah or john tesh on at night time but if you dont have problems then u will after you listen to them. (sorry i know some of yall are sitting there saying to yourself that you like them! lol) you can call in and say you hit an elephant and deliah will say she has too. and then ppl ask her to play them a song like lets say for them because they are having a hard time and she will say i got the perfect one for them and play some junk like elton john's bennie and the jets!!???? ok point being this station at night gives out the best night show i have ever heard. growing up in church i attended alot of dawson mcallister events. this man is great. he has always been one of my favorites! WELL GUESS WHAT.... HE IS THE NIGHT SHOW!!! teens call in with real problems like dealing with drugs, parents abuse, pre-marital sex, and so on. its everyday problems. to be honest any age of person can deal with these things and it just awesome to hear what he says to them. he is blunt and dont sugar coat it. i decided to visit his website and look at his blogs and some some of his phone calls on air. i love it. http://dmlive.com/index.html. i really think that people need to promote this stations because the music is the best ever christian music and the talk show is even better. listen to it and check it out! im sure even if u dont like christian music (that u think anyways) you will love it to. i never flip channels anymore. well ok i guess thats about it. i wasnt even gonna write about that but oh well i just am listenin to it online as i type this and i think that i needed to write about it since its new and possibly the most wonderful station out there. anyways take care peeps! i love ya all..

getting back up after being knocked down

Ok so im back on here. i don't even know if anybody even checks this anymore but i want to try get back on the ball with writing..(i know.. dont hold your breath!)lol. For most people they know my situation right now. and im sure if ur reading this, u probably do too. i just wanted to say out of this that i am so grateful for such an awesome faithful christian mom. If you don't know who my mom is than your missing out on a blessing. I can remember growing up and thinking i wish my mom wasn't so hard on me and all those times i wanted to skip church and she told me how vital it was for me to be there.. of course back then i had no choice but to go or get a butt whooping then have to go anyways. lol. (oh yeah lol means laugh out loud, my mama cant ever remember what that means). when i hit the years of my life where i could drive and my world was open to so many new things i use to wish she was one of these moms who were so "cool". i mean i loved my mama and thought she was awesome but she didn't give me relaxed rules or no rules like some parents did. all and all i thank God every day that she wasn't one of those parents now. she formed me into a respectable knowledgeable christian woman. i can honestly say she is my best friend, my hero, and my role model. i know i need to walk in the foots steps of jesus, but that is hard to do when times are hard. she encourages me and gives me strength that keeps my head up and lookin to jesus. its hard to realize we aren't on this earth to serve our own selfish needs. we are here to just serve jesus. nothing more, nothing less. most people would look at my life and say what a mess but she doesnt tell me that. she is such a faithful servant and in the absolute worse times she gives me the few words to not fall into the ways of the world. i only wish i could tell her how much i think of her, love her, and respect her for all she has done for me.
God has blessed me with an indescribable mom. continue to keep me in your prayers but also pray for her as she helps me through this storm.


I added this video. watch the whole thing, its awesomely fantastic! it is so appropriate for me in my struggle to always look to god.

???

OK so i have pretty much been a slacker on this thing. it didnt take real long for me to get to that point. lol. I am currently involved with a lot of Christmas activities at my church. i am one of the puppet team directors, a children's choir director\helper ,and we are trying to get our fund raisers going on for our mission trip. its not that it is to much or anything but i get side tracked easy. ok so im am soo tripping out about christmas. yes i love the season! i have my tree out.. well in the box, but me and philip plan to put it up this weekend. i know my cats are going to be thrilled to death to see the tree lit up with ornaments! they like to leap from the top of a large chair into it. luckily its never been knocked over, just limbs looked like they were hit by a train wreck! lol. well i hope that everyone has an awesome thanksgiving, and eats loads of yummy foods!

take up your cross

I have always loved the song by Ginny Owens "if you want me to". i think every christian can relate to this song and sometimes this song is just what a person needs when them hard times weigh on our shoulders and we want to question God with "Why am i having to deal with this?". Its hard to go through the valleys, but in those times are when we grow closer to God and have faith in him. If our lives were perfect living from mountain top to mountain top, how then can we ever really put our complete faith, trust, and love in God. God never puts more on us than he knows we can handle, and that is a hard thought to swallow at times, but we need to always look to him when tough times roll in. i just wanted to share with everyone this little simple cartoon that has such a powerful message.i still watch it numerous times a day!!! Everytime i have seen it,i can't help but cry (even through my millions of views). hope ya'll enjoy it as much as i do!

Ok well i know i emailed this to a lot of friends but i had to post this here because i think it is sooo fantastic! i kinda stumbled across it on youtube but i sure am glad i did! hope everyone loves it as much as me because i think it is the bomb..i know what your thinking.. & yes i did just bring "the bomb" out from old school! lol

HOPE WATCHES DORA

I had to post this. I was a nerd and recorded this with my camera sideways.. but you can still see it (especially when you tilt your head! ha ha) . People use to NEVER believe me when i said my cat Hope watched tv all the time. when we aren't home we always leave the tv on so my cats wont sit in a quiet house. i'm funny because i don't like to leave it on certain channels so since i consider them my babies, i leave it on nickelodeon all the time. Hope has took a special liking to Dora the Explorer and Diego. maybe she was living with some MEXICANS before i rescued her?? who knows.. she just loves these shows. she will sit like this in front of the tv for a complete hour! i think that it is funny a cat watches a kids spanish learning show.
