  • Touching base....Barely!

    Answers? YES, I am still alive.
    NO I have not fallen off of the face of Xanga.

    But as I'm sure all of you can understand, the compilation of work + Christmas (might as well make my stand clear on THAT controversial issue :P ) + family = NOT ON XANGA....BARELY BREATHING!

    However, unfortunately, this is only a touch and go blog... I REALLY need sleep, and I have work, yet again, bright and early tomorrow, and if I don't get to bed by 12, things will NOT be pretty in the morning.

    Hence, SHORT BLOG



    But before I go, check this link out sometime. LOTS of food for thought, and good things to keep in mind as a Christian, though I admit, sometimes it can get a little too deep for my poor IQ...then I resort to:
    GOOGLE DEFINE TO THE RESCUE!

    Anyone else have favorite links, Christian or not, that provoke good thought?

  • Pleasant Suprises

    Today, a friend that was very close to me while I was in school, just randomly dropped by...I totally didn't even know she was coming! She called me up and was like, 'hey, how ya doing? so where you living now? really? cool. Wheres that?"
    I totally suspected that she must've been in the area based on her questions...Which was a good thing too, because my apartment was a WRECK! So I ran around and cleaned up, managing to pick up the last piece of dirty clothing, right as her and her mom pulled into the drive.

    It was a total blessing from God. She came right when I needed a friend from "way back when" . Whilst our mothers chatted together, becoming acquainted, we giggled and whispered and altogether had a blast. They stayed almost five hours, during which I found out that they only live 30 minutes from my place.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Yesterday I was in the dumps, because I felt like I was headed for disaster, without any support, or aid. And He said to me, "What? Am I so small a god in your mind, that you don't think that I can be all the support you need?"

    and I was like...Ummm. weeeeeell---------no???

    And I was reminded that HE was God, and his arm is not shortened by a lacking support system in my life.
    So I got my thinking back in line, taking those lies, those thoughts - captive,(2 Cor 10:5) and decided that even if I never have a strong support again, its OK, because I've got God.

    And today, my Lord sent me support.

  • Love stories

    So....
    Today I was in a total funk, because I was mentally lost. So many things running through my head. (maybe, I'll right about them specifically, later) It got me discouraged and disheartened. And then i thought about yesterdays post....and the motivation behind it. And.I.Realized-
    This was where rubber meets road.

    What was I doing for those around me?
    I was totally tearing them down,
    Raining on their parade,
    making them feel as crappy as I felt

    And I was ashamed of myself...I am called to a higher standard than that. I am called to let go of "me", my rights, my desires, and instead look out for those around me.


    Its not much talked about anymore, but that is a motivation that all most of the World focused around at one time.
    Nowadays, its sometimes  called.
    Chivalry
    kindness
    Christmas Spirit
    but in its most purist form, this motivation is known as
    LOVE
    not family love, "I love my sister,"
    nor "like"-sorta love, "I love pizza"
    nor is it even romance love.passion.desire.

    Its sacrificial love.

    That is the standard that I am called to, because that is what has been given to me. What do I mean?

    I am loved by a guy that never stops thinking of me, or what he can do that will please me, or bring good into my life

    He sends me texts everyday.
    Every time I want to talk to him, he's waiting, ready to listen.
    Every time I need to talk to someone about something that I am going through, he'll listen, even if its at 3 in the morning, or during the NFL.

    He likes to write, and has even written me 66 different short stories! And the cute thing is, EVERY one of them, is filled with "I love you ('Articulations')"  messages, and most of them are an analogy of how MUCH he really loves and adores me.
    And get this! My guy has actually risked his life to save me! Hows that for Chivelry?



    If someone love ME that much, surely I can at least be courteous and civil to those around me!!!
    I know that I should "Share the Love" per se.



    So after having a very mentally rainy morning, I got a text message from my guy, and you know what it said?

    Remember, babe, I love you. ALOT.

    and I couldn't help but smile to the cashier I had just wanted to yell at.



    ~~~~~
    praying every single person who read this will find Someone who loves them unconditionally

  • I was driving places yesterday, and was with a close friend. We hadnt talked in about twenty minutes, and She was wondering where I was in "my own little world". I realized then, that I am a person who thinks ALOT, and though i may say alot of words, I seldom say much.

    What do I mean? I mean, rarely do I voice what I  think about something.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    Sometimes I wonder... whats gonna happen next? Who am I going to meet? What am I going to say next?
    What will happen tomorrow? And what will I do tomorrow, that will make a difference? We only live a few short decades, and then what? What stamp will I have made on History, no matter how small?

    Just thinking.
    how 'bout you? Do you always voice everything you think?

About Me

  • I'm: someone who loves people, loves the outdoors, loves anything to do with animals, hates being alone, is waiting for Someone, is scared of a lot of things, loves survival skills, loves playing the piano, dreams BIG dreams, thinks A LOT, though no one who knows me in person knows it. I was homeschooled through highschool, graduated from Miracle Mountain Ranch, and am now working at a Christian Retreat and Conference Center. I like talking in wierd accents, and whistling. I like harmonizing, and I love listening to tight vocal harmonies. Some day, Id like to marry and raise a family, but in the mean time, I'm scared poo-less at the thought of it ever happening. I will die before I ever: go bunging jumping, freefalling, or parachuting. I love books, fall colors, and running water. I am a meloncholy. I love spending time with people. I love God, and am committed to serving him for the rest of my life.
