Listening to some good ol' Moody Blues! Got a Christmas present tonight, lol, yes, no lie, it is February 25, and I now have my last Christmas present. And it was worth the wait. I recieved another piece to my Rudolph collection, and Yukon Cornelius is welcomed to the family :-P. Ah the little things in life, lol. God is good, and He blesses me greatly, I definitely dont deserve it. But I am thankful.

Heard from an oooolllllldddd friend. Well, I suppose shes not old :-P, but I havent talked to her in forever! So that was cool. Shes actually a friends x from New Hampshire. Shes pretty cool, and she was so excited because her new bf remembered that it was their seventh month anniversary. See, it is the little things, lol.

Church was pretty sweet! My dad talked a little to much :-P, but its all good!

Yeah, basically life is pretty swell :-P I hope it is for you as well!

Ive come to the conclusion that being tired is a terrible thing. For some reason being tired leaves me feeling empty. Which, by no means am I empty. I have the amazing Holy Spirit in me :-). Tis a sweet deal, I know :-P.

Work is pretty sweet though, two christian temps have now joined. Phil, my good friend, pretty much a brother, lol. And Ashley, she has a heart for God and young people. The others are still pretty much very worldly. Very much in need of God, and His love.

My friend Michael is getting married in Georgia tomorrow to an awesome young lady! He received a great blessing this morning as he got to work. His desk was filled with gifts from his coworkers. He had no idea, and humbly accepted them. Hes definitely nervous, but in a good way. He describes it as waiting for Christmas, not knowing whats going to happen. lol, He loves God, and I know for sure his wife and him will live as one, serving their Father.

Im definitely sad that there is no Bible study on Tuesday!!! I wish there was, but Dan is in Florida. I mean, who in the world leaves the cold for some sunshine and warmth!!! *Sigh* lol, I guess I will forgive him :-P.

Well Aimee, Ill be honest, I miss you. I hope all is well. Im praying for you and your bosses! Just think, if they get saved, God works in their lives. They start showing love, they stop screaming, they encourage instead! That would be so awesome! Than your coworkers see the change in them, and they wonder what it is, and there begins the revolution of Sunnyview!!! "All things are possible through Him who strengthens us!" -NKBV :-P

yep, I believe thats all for now, Im tired, lol.

Pressure

When the pressures screaming out your name,
squeezing you, relentlessly, no care, and no shame!

Your walls, they just cave in, one down...
now two, there goes the third, finally the fourth.

You feel so hopeless as the dust burns your eyes.
Blood shot, and dry, till the flood gate opens.

You cry and you cry, and you reach out...
but your arms, they don't reach anyone, you are alone.

You cant carry on any longer, and than it gets worse!
You watch the same thing happen to a loved one!

You hear their cries, meshing with your own.
You fear for them, and want them to have joy.

Your hopeless, their hopeless,
Lord why does this happen?

Brother dont you dare let those legs collapse!
You stand strong, you know your on the rock!

Dive into the Word, you can be refreshed!
Brother I love you, and you deserve the best!

Joseph you press on, with that amazing heart of yours,
Joseph theres a shepherd, He'll guide you to the end.

Be patient, and let your life song play on,
the devastation of your tune ending, Joe, I will not have it!

You are loved my brother, by oh so many,
great plans God has for a soul such as yours!

I could not imagine having a greater younger brother. The life he lives is a life of love for others. Hes so worn down by school, the stress gets to him. Today he wanted to say goodbye. I cant imagine him doing it! I have a lot of friends that are in so much pain as well. So this poem goes out to Joe and my hurting friends. Actually to anyone who struggles greatly with depression or just stress and sadness. We do have a shepherd that loves us, no matter what we've done. He can carry you, and get you back on your feet in a place of great joy. You just need to humbly accept it, and let Him get you there. Im so sorry for whatever is causing the pain! YOU ARE LOVED AND NOT TRULY ALONE!!!!!!! Please please please dont end it, God wants to use YOU!!!

Today was a rough beginning. I woke up tired and with a soar throat. I get up and get ready for work, and go out to the car. It wasn't to cold so that was definitely a praise! I was low on gas, definitely did not have enough to get to work, but there's a gas station on the way that I had planned to go to. And sure enough I made it, pulled up to pump two, swiped my card, and got denied. Frustrated, and realizing that I'm going to be late for work, I go into the store hoping it was just a fluke. Swiped it at the cash register, and I was still denied. Saturday morning, I had tried to pay a credit card bill, so I set it up to make the payment. But my computers old and acts up, and thats excactly what it did. So I refreshed the page, and went to see if it posted the payment. It did not, the site said if posted Saturday before three it will show up the same day. It didnt (I checked later Saturday and Sunday to). So I figured, oh well, Im not gonna mess with it, Ill make the payment next week. I need gas and stuff anyways. It wasnt posted Sunday, and it decided to post Monday. It took the money from my bank account, but hadnt added it to my card yet. Because I thought that it fluked, I thought I had enough to buy my friend a birthday present. So I did, and now Im overdrafted again! I honestly started to cry, all I could hear is my dad yelling, and the feeling that Im a failure. But I listened to Michael W. Smith's old cd. And its so encouraging. I love the song "Ill lead you home." God will provide, He always does.

I got to remember to stay focused, God is my Father, He is my King, and if I try to seek Him first with all that I have, all that I am, than I am not a failure. I may be poor :-P but He will meet my needs. I do need to be more careful. It just seems like no matter how hard I try, something happens and blind sides me, bringing me back into the whole. Oh well, Ill get back up and try again until I get it right.

I have come to the conclusion that the biggest babies are found on a football field. I watched the Superbowl and seen fights breaking out for apparently no reasons! And sadly, one of them had a cross on his arm with the word peace. That glorifies God eh? Though with that aside I have to say it was one of the best superbowls Ive ever seen. I was rooting for the Cardinals, and they lost by 4 points. It was so intense from the second quarter on, heart pounding situations, screaming after every play whether it was me or my friends who routed for the Champions! It was an all around good time.

Im starting to feel sick, please pray that it wont get to bad. I cant afford to miss any days of work. But I cant complain, one thing Gods blessed me with, was good health. Its very rare that I do get sick.

Now Im off to bed so that I can hopefully wake up on time tomorrow, Have a good one!
