We have the last laugh...


Twisting stories, making up lies,
Blurring spiritual vision, full of alibis.
Undermining authority and aimed to kill,
Leaving death in his wake, it's his thrill.
Trapping youth from freedom's song,
Taunting minds, "You don't belong."
Painting a picture to cover his tracks,
Using what's fake to contort the facts.
Crafting and hoping you sit in your shame,
Pointing his fingers that you're to blame.
Whispering tales of woven lies spun,
Pain is his gimmick, death is his fun.
Laughing as you fall, trip and stumble,
Waiting for your life to spiral or crumble.
Planning your destruction to the tee,
Mapping out to such precise degree.
Snickering at sin, his childish game,
How he forgets his temporary fame.
Suddenly blocked, his hands become tied,
Kept from action, stopped in his pride.
All the plans, in the beginning great and tall,
Surely will divide against themselves and fall.
The chains once secured upon sinner's souls,
To Jesus' power, no longer possessively controlled.
Free from bonds and purchased with a cost,
Delivered fom fears, all darkness is lost.
We're found wrapped tightly under God's wing,
Under His covering, warmth He brings.
Clothing the shame, mending our hearts,
Wiping away our tears, a brand new start.
The devil's devices shut down from success,
It's there he's met with many regrets.
Death is broken, sin will fade,
In Christ's image we will finally be made.
The glory and mercy of God rules the land,
His children victorious, righteously stand.

Why I'm Single...

This is an actual message that I received on Yahoo Personals as a dating message. This horrible message has literally inspired me to continually post the rediculous messages that I receive for your humorous enjoyment and my ego busting!

Here goes my ego.....

If you can decode this message, I'd love to know what the crap you think this eligible bachelor is saying. And to address your concern of my well-being, no I didn't respond and no, I've never heard of the "Leaf and Twig." But I will definately put that (probably) tavern on my "NEVER TO GO TO" list!!!

Wait and See!

Upon reflecting on my day I was inspired in many ways.

To write about the world, the perception hearts so cold.

Here is where my journey begins... The world will laugh at you and you will be their muse of entertainment along your road of trials toward becoming what you currently are not. But when you succeed they'll be wishing they were there along the way so they can soak in your glory. Just you wait world... I will beat this disease of the mind and body, just you see! And I will beat you Mr. Fat... because my best friend is Will Power. hehe

Anyways my goal is to lose 50lbs. It's a lot but I will do it!

I'm gonna be real w/ya'll cuz you can handle it. I'm currently 220. I would like to be at 170 and it's not an exaggerated goal.

BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater


Right now with my height and weight, my BMI is 35.5! At 170lbs, my BMI would drastically reduce to 27.4, which is still overweight according to the scale however my bones and frame is larger anyways so that will be a great weight for my body type!

Anyways, pray for me and stuff! haha I will do my best to get before pictures up and track my progress but until there is improvement there is no need for you all to see the chub-chub. Haha that's exploitation with no motive and I may be a secure person but anyone would need a Hercules confidence to do that! heh

Rant Time

Pregnant smoking mothers-to-be!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR! Ruth, you'll probably read this. I hope you share the same disgust. haha

To me it's like an unwanted gift... like here ya go, baby I've yet to meet have asthma and I hope that you don't develop properly! I saw a preggo smoker and I have to literrrrrally use invisible duct tape and put it over my mouth so I don't say something as bold as, "Hey lady, how can you be so rude and selfish? Every time you light up, you're making the decision to affect your baby and compromise it's very formation. And that right there, shows the little care for the precious miracle inside of you." And... going a step further... "You don't deserve to be the shell carrying that sweet thang! :D

Pretty good for my first RANT! Hahaha! :)

Now that I've got that outta my way... I can sleep peacefully. LOL

Here is a cute cartoon shedding light on my RANT & below are the facts of babies born to smoking mothers.



Lower birth weight. Smoking reduces the amount of blood that reaches your placenta starving your baby of the food it needs to grow.

Smoking makes it harder to get pregnant in the first place by lowering your fertility.

Once pregnant, smoking makes miscarriages more likely.

After birth, babies born to smoking mothers cry more as they crave the nicotine you do in cigarette smoke.

Babies born to smoking mothers are more likely to die unexplained (SIDS), and to suffer from asthma and ear infections when older.

Children of smoking parents are more likely to smoke too.

The Daily... Today's 411 Update

Good morning! I’m so sleepy…. At work, again. I am excited, however, to get off work and then get to be in my fancy smancy car. It’s probably gonna look grrrrrrrrreat! Haha I’m jazzed!

So today is pretty dreary out. The sky is a murky fog of gray and has every intention of raining all day (I’m sure!). I think me and a co-worker are going to lunch afterwards. We were going to go running but we do have some legitimate excuses that I’ve formulated for your enjoyment:

1.) It’s raining…..
2.) It’s raining…..
3.) I’m tired…….
4.) I’d rather eat than exercise! Haha

So we will probably go to a cute little café called The Twilight Café and have lunch (permitting their hours on a Saturday). Yummi. Then I have a very strong intention of taking a lovely nap! When it’s a day like today it’s almost required you take a nap and be lazy. It’s like the weather is asking you to slow down and enjoy rest! Here is the forecast for today in Evansville, Indiana.

Morning rain… then windy with a mix of rain and snow showers in the afternoon. High 44F. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph. Precipitation: 100% (hahah)

Ok, well I’ll have to write you back later to give you the stat on my car’s detailing…. Or better yet, I’ll have to give you the “details” on my detailing! Haha I need sleep, I’m not even slightly funny and I know it. Anyways, ttyl…

Ok, so I got my car back! Sweeeeeeeeeet!!! Imma gonna be lookin' fly! haha

Pamper TIME!

(Written at work!)

Calls are slow…. (PS for the blog browser who doesn’t know me, I work in Customer Service at a Credit Card Management Corporation) Whoooot whooo! Anyways, it’s basically deader than a rock when it comes to the call volume. Go figure, considering all day the phone lines BLEW the crap up! J haha…. I’m antsy tonight. Tonight I think I’m going with my friend, Ragen, to the movies. I got free tickets from work! Yay for that! I asked her to look the different movies up while I am at work because my work blocks certain websites. “Shhhh!! Don’t tell ‘em I do it!” ;) Then tomorrow I work for about 4 hours. In the meantime, while I’m getting my “work” on my sweet little car (still haven’t given her a nickname… I’m working on that) is getting a mani/pedi *aka in auto terms – an interior detailing!!* I’m so excited about that! It’s really not a bad price. It will cost $75 which I definitely think is a great price. Are you supposed to tip for service-oriented work? I’ve never gotten my car detailed before… who knows!? I might tip though because the guy I spoke with was super nice and even told me he would go the extra mile and clean my tires and wash it. I wasn’t sure if he meant wash in the inside but since he was referring to tires, I’m thinking he might wash the outside…. Wowzas! So if you see my super schweeeeet ride of a Cavalier blazin’ the Lloyd Expressway…. Holla at me! Haha Because that’s me in my no-longa beater! Oh haha and I hope he doesn’t look in the truck…. No there’s not a dead body… it’s just trashed and fulla crap. Haha he probably will being that he’s super nice he’ll think, “I’m going to be super nice and vacuum out her trunk.” And then he’ll open that beast up and be like, “Holy *insert choice expletive here*!!” LMBO.

Anyways… hope that produced some laughs and shows you the true character of my unorganized habits. Yes, Dr. Libowitz, I’m working on that!

*Some names in this story have been changed in order to maintain the dignity and privacy of others.* (Just kidding and no there isn’t a Dr. Libowitz!!!) ;)

My Portion



Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely?
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He over watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches (I know He watches)
I know He watches me

(I) I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, He watches me
He watches me
He watches me
I know
He watches me.

New Beginnings...




It's about time I get started blogging. I write enough as it is so why not bore you all with my rants, raves, and in betweens. Afterall, I do always have interesting updates in my life so why not share my randomness with the world!!!



Right now is a funny stage in my life. Mixed between tickets, car claims, rental cars, 40-hours at work, and 6 credit hours at class, saying my life is calm, slow, and without change would be a complete LIE! (Yes, I mean it!) I think over the past 4 months I've had enough crap magnetize itself to me that I'm determined to announce I will no longer be standing for anymore crap that would attempt to gravitate my way. So if you're reading this blog, Crap, don't let the door hit ya in the butt!!



On an amazingly great note, things are getting done in my life. My car which was a beat-up mess and a half is now looking like a car that hasn't been in 15 million wrecks. Thank goodness for that! I have one minor repair that needs done and then I'll be on my way lookin' fly as ever in my 2002 Chevy Cavalier.... pretty pimp, eh? haha *Please refrain from laughing if you think that this is not sarcastic. This comment was not meant to be read by the unsarcastic-minded individual.* (See pics of the ugliness of my car!)



Anyways, tomorrow is my "Oh, so wonderful!" Psychology test. Zippideedodah! (Spelling?) I've minorly studied and have every intention of draining myself from sleep by waking up at the wee hours of the morning for some more hardcore studying. Whatta champ I am!

I cannot complain. I will have to continue to remind myself who my identity is in and what I stand for.... oh and not to mention the truth that I have the mind of Christ, dangit! Sometimes when it comes to learning in college I do wish my brain would act like Spongebob and and just suck and soak all the info in a jiffy... oh how nice that'd be!

Well, I better sign off for the night. Hope I get some subscribers to join my random thoughts and potentially add comments to it!

:)
