Chew On This...

Tuesday was my first day back at school for this semester and well as you can imagine it was a bit hectic!!! In between classes I stepped in to the ladies room and saw something that caught my attention!!!! Here it is, can you figure it out? It's an eclectic collection of what else....bubble gum!!!! I'm sure most of you may find this disgusting but it was something that helped break the monotony of the day!!! Any-who i thought it would be fun to share!!! Let me know what you think? And oh yeah in case your wondering why I had my camera in the bathroom with me it's because I always carry it in my purse....don't worry I'm not a weirdo....lol!!!

Update on New Year, New Goals!!!

Okay I was listening to KSBJ today and they were talking about new year resolutions and how their hard to keep especially if you have too many!!! Ok thats me!!! Instead they said to make one and focus on it!!!! So that being said I'm changing mine to the one I've been able to keep so far (with some exceptions)!!!

New Year, New Goals...Maybe!!!

Okay so a new year is approaching...quick!!! And as always people are going to start thinking of a new years resolution...including me!!! I've already thought of mine! In the past I've never really kept my new years resolution and at times I didn't even make one! But I thought what the hay I'll give it a shot, once again! I also figured if I publicly post it on my blog for the world to see maybe I'll feel more encouraged/obligated (lol) to keep up with it!!! So that being said here it goes:

1) No burgers and fries from fast food places!

2)No sodas...even diet!

3)Read my bible more!

Okay so there it goes!!! I know I can benefit from these so I pray I can stick to them, but only time will tell!!! I am however curious to know what your New Years Resolution is so don't be shy, drop a comment and let me know!!!

Tightest Squeeze

When someone you love such as your spouse, parent, or children are away for a while don't you find yourself missing the smallest things! When my husband is away I find myself missing the tight squeeze at the end of the hug!!! When he's not here I close my eyes and pretend to feel his arms around me squeezing me tight...its' my favorite part!!! It's in his embrace that I feel safe and loved!!! So I encourage you next time you hug someone give them the "tightest squeeze" ever!!!

We Need A Professional!!!

Today my oldest son Joshua was going to enjoy a bike ride with his cousin!!! They went out side and began to get ready! Then Joshua comes in and says "Mom there's something wrong with my bike!" So here I go to look at it, sure enough I'm going to require some tools!!! So In the midst of my attempt to fix the bike (by now I have unscrewed the chain cover and have it in my hand) Joshua says "We're gonna need a professional!" This sparked an interesting chain of events that are as follow:

Me: "Well your gonna have to settle for Mom" (in response to we need a professional)

Joshua: "Oh Jesus please help us Lord" (with his hands together, pretending to pray)

Me: I smacked him on the forehead!!!

Joshua: "MOM your not supposed to hit people while they're praying!"

Me: "Your not suppose to insult people while they're fixing things!!!"

Moral of the story: Mom's always right!!!!

So I have this friend...

Her name is Bree and I saw this cool post on her blog it's called: "Getting to Know You"!!! It's pretty awesome because you write random facts about your self that people may or may not know about you!!! Sounds cool right!!! So I thought "what the hay...I'll give it a shot"!! Here it goes let me know what you think!! Even better leave me a random fact about your self!!!

P.R.L (prayer-request-live)

Have you been praying lately? I have! More then usual but that's ok I don't mind!!! Lately I have received quite few prayer request from family and loved ones, and to be honest I'm a bit honored!! Honored that they turn to me and trust me with their prayers!! I'm proud to be surrounded by people who aren't afraid to express their faith and love for the Lord!! If any one knows first hand its me that there is power in prayer!!! Discouraged? Pray! Confused? Pray! Happy? Still pray! It always seems to be the best solution in life!! I can't tell you how many praise reports or prayer request I get on a daily basis! And I'm glad because it shows God is good!!! But wait....it gets better!!! Sometimes I speak to my family/friends and they say "how are you? I've been praying for you!" How beautiful is that!!! Sometimes I'm feeling down and I don't even ask for prayers but people care enough to take the time and pray!!! What a blessing to be surrounded by people who care!!! Okay so what kind of post would this be if I didn't leave everyone with a personal prayer request: First PLEASE pray for my son Joshua that he has a better time adjusting to the third grade, that he focuses and pays attention in class! And for his teachers, that they are strengthen!!! Secondly PLEASE pray for my husband, that he has direction and clarity in his career! Don't stop here though...if you know someone is in need of prayer take a few minutes and pray for them!!! Its' the best gift you can give!!! God bless...I love you all!!! And thank you for your prayers!
