Just Passing Through

I have never had a roommate until December of 2010 Jordan Lohr. :) I have known Jordan for almost 2 years now. It seems like a lot longer just because we have become so close over the past 3 months. But about 3 weeks ago she told me she is moving back to ATL. I know that we all have our seasons, and her season here in Al has ended. But its not like she wont ever come back. I am sure she will come for visits. But She is doing what she thinks is right for her life. She has prayed many of nights. I have prayed with her! and For her! I know that on her journey here she has learned alot and made many memories that she will not ever forget! Today was a bitter sweet good bye...but i know its not goodbye.... <3 We will see each other very soon. like this weekend LOL but I love this girl she has become my best friend over the past 3 months. We have shared stuff with each other that we wouldn't dare tell anyone else. She has taught me things I wont ever forget. LOL like putting a jar under warm water releases the seal lol and so much more. :) Jamming out to glee and Justin Bieber..WOW so much fun! But.... My favorite right now is yesterday when you  Jordan!knew every word to Marlin Monroe...Very Talented I must say! LOL Ah Im going to miss all this! But I know its not the end of it! :)

Today I woke up next to my roomie. LOL :) We had a slumber party her last night with me! :) Of course we cried the whole night. But I know that its all going to work out for her. She has listened to the Lord and I know that she is excited so there for I am excited for her. I just wanted to write this to her and tell her thank you! Thank you for all the times you did my laundry... lol and every time you cooked and cleaned! :) you truly were the best roommate ever!!! I love you!!!!!! :)

Jordan maybe like alot of ppl that will "Just pass through" your life but they were put there for a reason! you may know why or you may not! But in time you will find out! Just remember they are a blessing and Cherish every moment!

Call On Jesus

Why is it that when we are in our darkest hour we call on Jesus, when we should have been calling on him all along. Why do we wait till its too late...... I'm speaking to myself on this one here. As a 23 year old I have gone through many trials and tribulations. But my worst is money. LOL go figure a 23 year old girl struggling with money! This is probably nothing new. My money is my enemy. The crazy thing is I don't go blow money like you would think an average 23 year old would do. I actually hate shopping. I couldn't tell you the last time I went shopping for myself. My struggle is... I moved out way to early, When i should have had money set aside for such a big step in my life. Everyone says you live and you learn... OK well I'm learning and I am trying but still...no success.  God has always provided for me. And I am very thankful for that. But I would like to be able to not stress about money every week. I would like to actually say hey I have money. 
There are so many things I would like to do. And now days if you dont have money you cant do anything. :/ SO I guess life just sucks major! So I guess in all of this complaining, what i am trying to say is that I am at my darkest hour. my most desperate time of need. and I am calling on Jesus. And I know he hears me and I know he will provide.  I just have to have faith!!!
This time in my life only makes me want to press through harder and pass my boards for massage therapy. Massage Therapy is very hard. I never thought it would be this hard. But its taken alot out of me, but I am not giving up and I'm sure as heck not going to waste all that money on giving up. Its a big passion in my life and I will pass this test if it kills me. This week has been a very complicated week for me, but I have just realized its okay to say no to people you have to whats important right now. If they get mad they get made, but in the long run it will show you who your true friends are. They ones who are still there cheering you on after you pass will be your friends for life! Not only do you have to trust God but you also have to trust yourself and believe in yourself.. YOU CAN DO THIS!  YOU CAN!
My Prayer today is that God will give me the strength and a worry free and stress free life. I pray that God will provide for my every need. I pray that God will protect me and give me wisdom and knowledge. I pray that he will direct each path that I take. I pray lord that you continue to shape me and mold me into the women you want me to be. I pray that you bless  and protect my family. I pray that you have mercy on the souls that do not know who you are. I pray that this world will know peace before your return. I pray that lives will be saved today!
I pray this is your gracious heavenly name!
Amen

~ Spring Is In The AIR ~

This weekend was definitely what my body needed. I finished my classes on Thursday afternoon. So on Friday I treated myself to a massage which ended up turning into a 2 hour massage.....yeah my body was in need of that. Came home and relaxed. Then I went to dinner with my best friend. Which is always a need. Saturday I woke up and me and Evan went to Montgomery. Montgomery is one of my favorite places, Only because it has Shakes Spear Park. This is one of my favorite places to go get away. We spent all day in Montgomery.We ate at this cute cafe called Mi Mi's it was delish.  And of course I visited the park. I wouldn't dare go to Montgomery and not go to the park. Saturday night when I got home me and Jordan went to Wal mart of course. Spent Way to much money. Then I laid in bed and watch one of my favorite movies JUST MARRIED! Sunday Morning I woke up and went to church of course, Then went home and me and Jordan made chicken tacos and cleaned. Then we decided to go to the lake. A wonderful decision. It was perfect. we took a blanket and laid out there and took stupid pictures for 4 hours. it was so great. Then I came home and watch an amazingly awesome guitar player on wave live. ;) Then I went to see Justin Bieber 3-D lol it was actually a great movie. So inspiring, and uplifting. Came  home and went to bed.
I fill so energized and relaxed. It was a much needed weekend. I am ready to press through to this week. going to hit the books heavy. I have my national boards coming up in April so I have to knock it out this time! :)

This week is going to be awesome! Israel Houghton is going to be in Dothan. So i am going to see him Wednesday night! I have lunch with some long lost friends from high school, and then its my best friends birthday...we gotta get ready for the weekend~ :)

God is still moving very strongly in my life. And in my family in friends. Just gotta keep up the faith and continue to pray!!!!

Bad Sad Day

This morning I woke up with FEVER BLISTERS :( I thought I would never get one again. Well I shuold have never said that cause it came back to bite me in the butt. I look like Will Smith off the movie Hitch when he had an allergic reaction! :(  My upper lip and my bottom lip are just ate up with them! :( I am about to go across the street to the wonderful Stat Med and get a perscription! :) Im not looking forward to forking out the dollars for this medicine but.... if it gets rid of it in a day like everyone says im down for it. And there are  alot of other home remedys that people are telling me to do. So I might try that first to see what happens. At least it will save me some money! :) anyways This is a sucky day! And I hope it will get better!!!!

The 4th horseman

A friend of mine told me I needed to go online and watch this video about the 4th Apocalypse horseman on YouTube. This is something that happened during a riot in Egypt. CNN caught it live on film. So I went and watched it, and yes it looks like a man on a horse. but it also moves with the camera. But my reasoning in writing this blog is that what are we so freaked out about? Yes Praise God the Lord is coming back. This is nothing new. We have read about this for years. What are we so afraid of? The bible clearly states not to fear him, but to be in celebration of his return. Well.. All i am saying is weather this thing is true or not. I know where I am going when the lord sounds his trumpet and I'm ready to go. Why be scared? Yes I feel like there alot of things that i need to have done before the Lord comes back, but it not up to you how you live your life its not even your life to live its Gods life and he works through us. So... All I am saying we always need to witness to the people. We should have ever since we had knowledge about God. But we wait until a small fluke in camera scares  us  into witnessing. that's not right~ But GO out share this with someone. Who knows it may win someone soul. lol
the lord will come when he is ready, yes the time is near. That's why we should always be prepared! :)
Walk talk live like Jesus did!

Love is in the AIR

So today is Valentines Day. This is one of my favorite days of the year! You get to talk and sing about love all day, and have an excuse! For some people this is a sad day, because they are single or may have lost someone special.   But you have to understand that God is and can be the love of your life. The keeper of your soul. So why not name Jesus as your  Valentine,and tell "HIM" how much we love him. and Write him cards and send him a Valentines Message. God is the Creator Of love . He Gave his only begotten son, because he loved us so much! Now that is Awesome. Sit back and think on that for a minute. If you have or had a child would you give that child up for someone that you don't even know? Man! Gods love is absolutely amazing. God is the writer of all the purest love stories. A love that i want with my spouse.
So instead of sitting there pouting because you haven't gotten flowers our chocolate. Look outside or better yet walk around outside and look at all the wildflowers that got has placed there for you. and to me wildflowers are the prettiest of any flower. Don't pout because you haven't gotten a sweet message or letter from anyone. Open your bible and read songs of Solomon. or just read the word period. there are amazing love stories in that bible!
I guarantee Gods love will put you on cloud 9.  Now go show him some of your love! :)

Lean on Jesus

I have learned through out my walk with Jesus, you have to lean on him with everything. Turn to him with all your problems weather they are big or small. Nothing is to Big for God. I have learned that  I can't fix my problems. Its through him ( GOD) who fixes all my problems.
The Lord is my strength in my time of need. He is my shelter through the storm. This is why it is so important to understand the love of God. and its so simple to have a relationship with him. All you have to do is spend time with him. Read his word. Talk with him. Let him rule your world, not your cell phone or facebook. GOd has all the answers. Dont be afraid to ask. Its says in the bible, ask and you will recieve. I have gotten many answers from God. They may not have been what I wanted to hear but it was for my good. I have learned to lean on God and ask God to open the doors he wants me to walk threw and to close the ones he doesnt! And so far it has worked! :)
He is my champion!
These verese take me back to my bully post!
Deuteronomy 6:5Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?]

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

My prayer everyday is that the kids of this generation will step out on faith!
seriously the lord will not let anything hard you! You have to have faith!!!!
Walk by faith and not by sight!

School Bully

My question is, Why are kids so afraid to go to the principle or a teacher when they are being bullied. They say it will only make things worse, but I think its because they are scared to have the name "chicken".  I just listen to all this mess on the news about the teenage sucide ratings and they are just ridiculous. Do you know what the main cause is? Bulling! weather it is on facebook, myspace, or at school. Bulling is bulling and it needs to stop!
My Niece is 15 and she is having major issues with this at her high school. She is a very pretty girl. She has won several crowns. And I tell her they are just jealous. Now these bullies are not BIG girls. They are just girls that pick and nag. But it gets the best of her. Now my niece is not the type to get physical with anyone. But these girls are getting her to the point to where she might. I have told her to stand up for herself. But if she does she will be kicked off the cheer squad and she would have to give up all her pageant titles. This is the part that I dont understand. Why do kids get punished for standing up for themselves? And I know that the teachers have to witness some of these people talking crap! Why dont they punish them? The school systems make me so angry! I just dont understand the world today! Where is the love people! God did not intend on the world to be this way!  You would think that schools would be trying their hardest to prevent another teenager from dying. but I guess not. So all I can tell my neice to do is to watch her back, watch what she says back to these people, and to lean on God with everything shes got.

So that brings me to my next thought!
Lean on Jesus!

My Week

My journey through out my week. I wake up every morning at the crack of dawn. Go to work and sit behind a desk all day long. I work as a receptionist at Chiropractic Clinic. Dont get me wrong I love my job. I just have a huge erge to travel the world. After my long day of 10 hours I go home to my lonely house with me and my cat smitty. No I am not one of those old ladies with a bunch of cats. lol but it is just me and my cat. I do the normal cook dinner for one, which most of the time its a TV dinner. Then I watch my shows, read my bible, and go to sleep just to repeat the whole thing over again the next day! Life is too boring and im too young to live a life of such.
