blogging trouble 2008-09-06 17:32:33 I love to blog or at least I use to. I open the blog everyday but just stare at an empty screen. My life was so much more interesting in college. I struggle for topics and what to blog. Maybe I'm just afraid that I"m not interesting. I use to think i was interesting. I use to think i was fun. Alot of it has to do with the fact the popularity of my blog has dramatically decreased. All my subscriber
Just Another Day 2008-09-02 19:18:22 I'm back on the job hunt. Gustav has done all he can to hinder my progress but no more!! lol Most of the morning was wasted driving around putting in applications. I hate filling out applications. I hate trying to impress people by putting words on a piece of paper instead of wooing them with my awesome personality!! It's a very draining process. I adventured around the Jackson Metro area, thro
Hurricane Gustav. The Beginning 2008-09-01 11:13:43 I woke up this morning and thought it was unusually hot. it was sticky humid hot. I sat up, thinking maybe the power was out but my television still was showing the weather channel. ok.. so the power is not out but why is it so freakin hot!! i walked into the living room and the door was wide open, so was the door leading into the garage. Hot wind was whipping through the house.
So yeah....about that. 2008-08-24 22:43:20 So i have a lot of time on my hands. I have moved on to Plan D. give-up. I feel such a huge weight pressing me down. I don't understand why all this is happening and I have tried and tried. but I just can't keep holding on. What I don't understand is, I am a good person, I truly am. I don't steal, I don't lie, I don't drink, I don't cuss, I try my hardest to live an obedient life
~Outdoor Wedding Fun~ 2008-08-19 10:11:20 One of my best friends, Charlie, met this girl, Jennifer. They dated, fell in love, got engaged, and decided to make the ultimate commitment and get Married. Charlie and I have been friends for over 9 years. He is the goofiest and strangest friend I have. There has always been something about Charlie that draws people to him. He is a modern day Jesus. He even looks like him with his lo
Wars and Trials! 2008-08-11 23:59:53 Southside Baptist ChurchDr. Jeff ParkerDr. Jeff Parker's sermon on War and Trials
This sermon has impacted my life so mush that I had to share it!!!John 10:10 ‘the thief’s purpose is to
steal, kill, and destroy”.
1 Peter 5: 8-7
“Stay Alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.. He prowls around like
a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

Eyes to See 2008-08-10 14:36:57 I want you to know that I see
All the reasons why you fail
I've seen all your motivations
Ones for good and ones for hell
When you close your eyes to see
The truth that's inside me
May you hold your breath to breathe
Your empty reality
If you had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then you would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
I was pouring out of passion
To light the step you're on
Tearing, Breaking, and Crushing of my Spirit. 2008-09-23 02:29:43 It's almost two in the morning and my mind is still racing. I am barely even tired. For those who do not know the latest in my life, my grandmother died last Saturday from complications of an ankle fracture. She was rushing to get to the hospital to be with my cousin Ashley, who discovered that the baby she had been carrying did not have a heartbeat. Exactly one week later my grandfather died of Read more:Breaking
Passing of my Grandmother 2008-09-15 00:03:01 well... My grandmother passed away today. Two weeks ago my pregnant cousin lost her baby and in a mad dash to get to the hospital my grandmother broke her ankle. As a result from this break she developed pneumonia ended up on a ventilator (which i knew nothing about until today) and passed away today. I can't begin to describe the emotions that are running through me right now.&n Read more:Grandmother
Count your Blessings 2008-09-13 00:51:10 I have had a very bad day today. Things are just not getting any better. Everyday is a little worse. Yesterday my keys were stolen at church. God has really given me a gift of being calm during a crisis. I don't know where else it would come from. We open up our gym in the church to the inner city kids and high schoolers. Last night was my first time to go. I was already a little Read more:Blessings
Some major life changes and I might die 2008-09-09 21:52:27 So I decided to make some major life changes
. Well actually most of those changes were involuntary but God works in mysterious ways. I have decided to exercise, still working on the eating better part. Hey one flippin step at a time. Anyone that knows me knows that I am not a morning person at all. Once I am up I rather enjoy being up but it's the waking up part that i do not like. My normal
From the Inside Out 2008-09-30 19:59:30 So my quest to change my health is off to a rather slow start. well.. honestly no start at all, but Roscoe and I have been walking a lot lately. Right now he is chasing a grape through the house. He's just bouncing it around. He has no intention of eating it. silly dog. He's getting really big so our little quick trips around the block are no longer effective. We have to actually walk now and for
New Year Resolutions 2008-12-18 23:01:21 I'm looking forward to the new year. This year hasn't been the greatest so I'm looking forward to it being over. I do have a confession.. With my newly acquired small sum of money I broke down and bought something for myself. It's something i really wanted and really needed. i bought a new journal. i used a coupon!!! ha! With the start of the new year I decided as I do every year that I need a new Read more:New Year

If you could put any three laws into effect, what would they be and why? 2008-12-16 09:50:50 I would make it illegal to put any bans on healthcare insurance whatsoever. anybody can have it regardless of their age, or current health condition. i would make it illegal to for healthcare organizations to turn away anyone seeking medical treatment that doesn't have insurance. I would make casinos, strip joints, dannys, chippendals, etc.. illegal. who wants to see a 50 year old stripper anyway? Read more:effect
How a little snow can shut down a city!! 2008-12-11 22:11:02 Ok mississippians.. come on.. really? I know I grew up in Iowa and we don't even consider it snow unless its at least ankle deep but seriously. I woke up this morning and lo and behold there were white clumps dropping from the sky. It looked a little
odd to me because I could never remember snow being that big. I opened the door and very shortly discovered it was slush. not snow. A nice slus
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts... there they are squashed on the side of the road 2008-12-10 20:31:31 I forgot the world of retail during the holidays. I forgot how people suddenly feel its ok to be rude and obnoxious just because it's the holidays. I thought Christmas was a time to put away our selfishness and to be holly and jolly. 'Tis the Season they say!!! I wish grown-ups believed in Santa and were fearful of being on the 'naughty list'. then just maybe they would be a little nicer. Ho Read more:coconuts
What do you want to be when you grow up? 2008-12-09 21:36:11 There has always been one answer to this question. A nurse. I have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I remember. Of course I still have my days where I believe I was destined to be a famous singer and I put on a show in front of my mirror and use my hairbrush as a microphone and sing. R-E-S-P-E-C-T as loud as I possible can. Those days will be there until the day i die. :) At least my 'I wanna b
The Memory Remains 2008-12-04 23:21:50 Have I mentioned God convicting me of myself and transforming me into himself? Just in case I haven't here it goes. Since this whole nightmare began. hhmm let's see how long has it been now? it will be 6 months tomorrow. I keep telling myself everything's gonna be ok. God is in control. for five of those months i had no job sending my credit and financial status down, down, down, to the center of Read more:Memory

November 30, 2008 2008-11-30 05:03:14 Roscoe's blood curling screams through the night is the reason for the post. so blame him. he's <---- sleeping away like nothing he has ever done in his life has been wrong. haha. He decided at 445 that he no longer wanted to be in his cage and barked and whined until i got up to let him out. i know i know.... that wasn't the right thing to do but i couldn't sleep with his barking and its much Read more:November
