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!

My car now officially has amazing heat!!! WOOT!!! lol

I received my first battle wound today at work. Nothing major, however it is the biggest blister Ive ever had. Wanna see?!?!?!


Isnt she a beaut' :-P. We were pulling up the floor, and they were stubborn. I was definitely grateful for the bottle of oarnge splash that I had on hand. May be the only reason I did not faint today, forizzle :-P. sorry, lol, anywho. Despite the tiredness, lol, I love my job, and Im glad that God has given it to me. It is truly a blessing. Waking up is not so bad :-P. That hour difference is HUGE!!!

On another note, Ill leave you with a doodle, if I can...



Now we must play a little game!!! What is wrong with this doodle, its actually something quite major!!!!

I hope you are doing very well! Have a good one!

This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! This is the day, this is the day that the Lord hath made! (that was an awesome old hymn).

Pastor has been doing a series on heroes. How today's heroes are not good heroes. How we tend to be disappointed. He made a point in saying, maybe that's because our criteria or standards are wrong. When you think about it, theres not very many heroes today. The true heroes you'll never hear about in the news. You'll never really see them on tv, at least not for who they are! Last Sunday he challenged us to be a heroe! If we as the body of Christ stand together, and stand tall, sooooo much can be done for Him! So much change for the better can take place. We can give our young people heroes again! True heroes, that should they follow, their lives wont end in drugs, and other sins. God can bring them hope through us! This world is dark, but with God in us, we can drastically light it up. Not on our strength, never on ours! But leaning on Him, thats when victories are won. We need to pray For one another, AND With one another! Lets take on the world in His name! With Him we can not fall, unless He calls us home. May we be like Job, he's my heroe. God did give Satan permission to wreck his world. But Job was able to stand knowing he lived for God, he lived right. And he may not have understood why it was happening. He was honestly questioning God, but he never lost his respect for God. He still knew that God was his only salvation. He lost so much, but in the end he stood stronger than ever! God is ours, and the worlds salvation. They need to see it!

Alright, I'm new at this whole picture thing, but this one is
for Aimee :-P. I was asked awhile ago to put pictures up, but I had no camera. For some reason my phone decided to work again, and without further ado, this is Christmas at the Leggs!






Starting from the top floor of the house, we have a birds eye view of the Christmas village (formerly the site for our 16-17' tree).


As you can see, the cat decided to reap havoc in the village. There is a massive mound of snow that juts into the sky. This is simply our not so well done attempt at hiding the wall in the back :-P.







This is the first site that you would see when entering our house. My mom puts a lot of time into this. Our railings are decorated with garland, lights, bows, and bells!










We have here one of our manger scenes around a Thomas Kinkaid Bible, opened up to the Christmas story.












Every stair is filled with our little Christmas Carolers! This year we welcomed Elvis, he is an Elvis impersonator that sings on the very first step. Hes styling with his cool shades and guitar! :-P Definitely one of my favorites!




















Here are our stockings, they are aligned by age including my brother in law, and my little niece!!! And yes, even our cat and dog gets a stocking full of goodies! Santa didn't have the heart to give Jazz coal :-P.
















This is our village from below. Every year my dad does the village. This year he added to it a sea section. He was very proud. At night the lighthouse lights up and the light actually rotates, it's pretty neat!


These little guys requested to be the ones to say good bye :-P. They love to tell the story of Jesus, and wish you a Merry Christmas! Well, now its New Years, and I hope yours is a wonderful one! God will be with you 365 days a year. Every hour, every minute, every second, how awesome is that!
