Look up at the rain what a beautiful display of power and surrend....

God has taught me a whole lot in the last month or so. God has taught me that He gives and takes away. And that He is the ultimate provider. I never thought I would find myself in the spot that I am. I'm not sure I have ever been so humbled in my life. I want to live life for God and not lose sight of that. So often I get so concentrated on material things. I forget that in the end absolutely none of that matters.
I think about my situation and feel bitter sometimes, but I just must remember that it all happens for a reason. I was at a point in my life where I hated where I was at. I always said I would walk away the day I hated it, well God helped me keep my promise. What a sense of humor.
I just want to walk away with no hurt feelings. Knowing that I learned and in the end God has something so much bigger for me. And I hope that with the time I did have, people learned something from me. I am not always the best example, but I want to live to serve others. The day you serve yourself you should stop and look around, because there is so much more.
Now I move onto a new adventure..... God please be my guide and nothing else......

Dance Dance Revolution

Last night, Erin was kind enough to host a DDR party. I would just like to say that it was great fun. I also would definitley like to give a shotout to Belinda for the amazing brownies and rice crispy treats....(your the best mother-in-law ever!!!!). So we start our party and immediatly I feel akward. Is it sad that I did not want to share my ddr skill, or maybe it was lack of skills, with all these people I was not 100% comfortable with. And don't get me wrong I am not a shy person. So the party goes on a little while and Todd comes up to show us his skill. He is the DDR master. If you ever need to know how it is done just give Todd a call you will immediatly realize that your skills are nothing and that you should not have a DDR party untill you can complete Zepher and the challenge level. All and all it was a great party... and perhaps once we get a little better we shall have another!!!!

My Good Friend...

As I have grown up I am constantly looking around to see what type of person I want to be. I am not sure that a person is every a grown up. I want to always be growing and learning to be the person that God would have me to be.
As I look around for other women in my life to be models there is one that sticks out in my mind. Minda. We met about three years ago and for about a year and a half or so she has taught me so much. I have watched her struggle and over come so many things. She never has a bad attitude. If I need to tell someone something and I don't want to be judged I call her. She always is open and would never look down on anyone.
Minda, you are an amazing women. I am so excited about what God is doing in your life with Gene and all of your great boys. You deserve so much.... Thank you for being so open with me and allowing me to learn from your life. I love all the great conversations that we have had and I look forward to all of the ones that are to come.
