I feel like laughing right now   Isnt it funny how laughter can totally change the day around!!!!!!!  Today I woke up with so many funny memories from college(i.e. the time I almost drove off with the wrong car in the Walmart parking lot)!!!!!   It made my day!!!!

hmmm I woke up with the song STORYBOOK TIME(from my 2 year old UTS classroom) in my head!!!!!!  Then I went to read my bible….wow God really does have an interesting since of humor. 

I got nothing else right now.  Nothing.  Ill post more later!!!!!!

I am incredibly thankful right now!!!!! Espessially that God brought me to this place and this church.  Wow God is good God is good God is good!!!!  Ask me how I found and got involved with this campus somtime!!!!!  Its an interesting story!!!!!

What are you thankful for today?????

I feel like a huge coward.  I was sick yesterday and wasnt planning on going to the refuge.  I came home from work and pretty much just colapsed right into my bed.  Around 9 I got up feeling better and desided to go.  I left  the Refuge an hour later.  I didnt leave because I was sick.  I left because I was cold and had alot of doubts going thru my head (like what good am I doing here)(can I even really make a difference).  We normally have furnance/portable campfires for the homeless to gather around.  The fire department came yesterday and told us we had to put them out (someone called in and complained).  I left because I was cold…when the homeless are cold every day.  How wrong is that of me.  To complain and to leave for small little things like being cold and sick.  I have a warm place to go home to they do not….satan won last night (at least with me).  This makes me sad. 

Have any of you ever faced adversity or tests and you feel like you totally flopped or failed these tests????    Any scriptures that come to mind?????? 

I erased my last post on this SORRY!!!!! I will sum it up with one question…..Do any of you have a favorite childrens and why?  My favorites are You Are Special, Love You Forever, and the Diggingest Dog.  I find such meaning in each of these books.   I know that sounds funny but I do!!!!  Anyways again Im sorry that this has to be a summed up version of my last post. 

Thats my puppy Dakota in the picture below AND above…she is a year old and is quite a handful!!!!  But I love her anyway :)

My puppy has discovered digging!!!!  She digs and digs and digs and does NOT stop.  Im surprised I cant see to China with all of her digging.  There are about 6 massive 3 foot holes in my back yard.  This experience brings to mind one of my favorite childrens books, The Diggingest Dog.   The part that comes to mind this morning is when it say this, “I ran away from Sammy Brown I dug a hole that went straight down.  I left him standing up on top I dug and dug, I didnt stop.  How deep I dug I could not tell but soon I found I’d dug a well.  Mud and water up to my chin.  I started to sink I started to yelp….help, I yelped, help help help.” 

This story really reminded me of this weekends service.  Bitterness can so root itself and destroy lives that one day we just wake up and realize that we have dug such a huge hole that we cant get out.  I know this from experience!!!!  And I also know that it is possible (with God’s help) to remove that bitterness with forgiveness!!!!  Anyways I leave you with that thought.

P.S. Also something I’ve learned is that its a process. I still am conquering this and I still am find small little roots here and there.   Please dont think I am saying you can conquer this in a day.   It a process!!!!    

THIS IS A REALLY REALLY GOOD QUOTE FROM A REALLY GOOD BOOK!!!!!! 

Pg. 127 Hinds Feet On High Places 

The Shephard laughed, “I love doing proposterous things….why I dont know anything more exhilirating and delightful then turning weakness into strength, and fear into faith, and that which has been marred into perfection.  If there is one thing more than another that I enjoy doing at this moment it is turning a jellyfish into a mountain goat.  That is my specialty.”

I dont know what in the world to write.  Man I am such a horrible blogger

Here is a picture of my nephews. They really are great kids!!!!  I also just realized that my last post was very well RANDOM!!! SORRY!!!!
