This has been a rough week and I haven't had a week this rough in some time emotions, finances and sad news, hurting friends and a few other things have hit me all at once but I know God is in control and will take care of things in order for Him to get the glory. I'm not gonna lie, this has been very stressful and I am ready for things to be finished but God has given me glimmers of hope. He is able. I rest in His promises. I know He will take care of these things.
On a different note I have been called to a "fast" from TV during the week. I was very productive this week and God and I are going to do this for a few weeks. I have a lot to learn from Him. I can't wait to share what He is teaching me.
My heart hurts for Haiti. I will spend time again this week praying for them.
He said to me "My Grace is sufficient for you for power is perfected in weakness." Therefore I am well content with weaknesses,with insults,with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak then I am strong.

January 15th
I have seen my provider, Jehovah Jireh, work in my life this week. I have also seen God's hand in the midst of devastation in Haiti. "...May I trust in your unfailing love." Psalm 13:5

Merrily Happily New Christmas Year..
My brain is full and there is so much to say. I have had a crazy blast this last month. It began with The Shoe Drive with the Sophomore kids at the beginning of December and then the Christmas Concert/Production Mid-December. It was amazing. I love singing for the Lord and because of our guest performers I now want to be a dancer or a drummer.
I have had all sorts of feelings during this month. It has been 2 years since I got married and 1 year since my marriage was annulled. I was dating a great guy for 6 months that didn't work out but I did realize because of him, that I do deserve to be treated like a queen. Also, no matter what, I would like for someone to be able to take care of me and himself and make me and us a priority.
2009 was a good year for me. I am not who I was when the year started and I know myself so much better too. I am somewhat selfish, I have a short temper at times and I can be very picky and kind of a snob. However, I do know how to help others. I love my family and friends so much. My sister is such a giving person and she would give anyone anything she had. She and I have continued to have so much fun as roommates. I pray that when God brings our husbands we will live near each other. My dad is a fun crazy mess and we have grown to love him even more. He is the most generous man in the world and knows that all that he has isn't or wasn't his in the 1st place. He knows all he has belongs to the Lord and gives it all away. I have some amazing friends and 5 of them will have/or have had babies this year. I love being Auntie Jen.
This next year I am going to focus even more on Jesus and what He wants me to do. There are some good and bad things I need to leave behind and press on toward the goal, the prize, The High Calling of Christ Jesus.
I am ready for 2010. My 20 year reunion is this year and I know God has some AWESOME God things planned for this year. Pray for me, I will be praying for you!

Yeah...I got nothin'... Just some random thoughts
Life is way different when you see it on a 50" plasma compared to a 27" CRT. Happy Christmas to us from Dad. Since we already have our present we put up our tree and will just enjoy the lights and music and a ton of movies.
I was kinda saddened the other day by the way some grown-ups acted. They were mean to my friend and they were not acting like believers. Unfortunately this hasn't come to a head yet and it will get worse before it gets better. I hope that what needs to be said is done so in a way that God alone is glorified.
I have said this before I have very vivid dreams and I have had several dream where I was a mom of more that one kiddo. So exciting. Just makes me want to pray even harder and more fervently for God to send the right man.
I like the group "Straight No Chaser."
I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

Peace.
I am again out of words. The children have taken them all. I shall rest for the week and perhaps they will return by Friday. Happy Thanksgiving!

No Day Like Today...
I love that song at the end of RENT. As a musician wanna be, I love the harmonies and the way they weave in and out of the melodic line.
I haven't written in a long time because there is nothing to really write about. However, I have found myself in a slight quandary recently. I love my job but I want a change. The problem is I am not sure what, where, when... I have been challenged to do more in my classroom and with my students and that is good because for there was a time when I didn't want to.
I broke things off with my friend from Memphis. I am sad it didn't work out. We will attempt to still be friends but we all know how that usually plays out. I am single again and for the record I do not want to be set up. The last 3 times haven't worked. ( Sara, he was great, it just didn't work) God is in control. So glad
I can let the creator of the universe, My Elohim, be in charge of my life.
I watch a lot of TV on Saturdays thanks to my DVR. My current faves are THE OFFICE, FLASHFORWARD and Parks and Recreation.
