Happy Day..

I am very happy this week, I met this guy and we are dating and things are going really well..it is early yet. We have been seeing or really talking with each other for the past 3 weeks. It is a longer distance relationship then I would have liked because he lives in South Carolina.

But it has presented me with some new challenges that I am trying to work out. So he doesn't know I blog and for now I am not planning on telling him about it because then i have to sensor what I say. So anyway things are going great, but I am feeling guilty about several things, first of course the relationship is new so I am thinking about him a lot, which means I am less focused on God..now i wasn't talking to God or praying 24 hours a day, but balance must be is being restored.

He drove her here this weekend and went to church with me, which was nice and we had a really good time.

Anyway, I will keep you posted (all 4 of you..my regular readers..lol..).

Moving..

...I am thinking about it.

Funny...

On Sunday, during our prayer request and praise report session at Jr.Kidz church, one of my kids said the following:

"I want to say thanks to God because my dad said when i was 16 he was going to get me a Mustang with... SPINNERS!"

Hilarious, how does a 5 year old even know what spinners are?

Needless to say, his dad said he better keep praying for that...

Thankful Thursday..

So there are so many things I am thankful for this Thursday...

I am grateful for having a job, because that was in serious jeopardy last week, my right mind, because that was in serious jeopardy last year. My family, friends, church, etc.

So why do I feel like I am drowning in my current problems. There is a lot of condemnation going on surrounding my latest "challenge". I don't even feel like blogging about it. I keep saying when I get through this time, i will spill my guts, in the meantime, I just need to get in the Word.

Just pray for me...

I have it :(

Muffin vs. Tweety

Here is a Video of Muffin trying to kill Tweety Bird..

If your wondering about the background music, I happened to be watching MTV's top pop group and the time..interestingly enough that accapello group that is singing "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown, wound up winning the $100k grand prize...

Ooops, I just realized this is the wrong video... my bad..this is Muffin vs. Buddy. I did NOT keep my phone (that I was doing the video taping with) steady, so just be prepared..

Thankful Thursday..

So much to be thankful about this thursday - here are 10 things (in no particular order - except #1):

1) My relationship with God Though from time to time it may seem one-sided. He is so faithful to me even when I fall by the wayside.

2) A good attitude Not to be taken for granted because I didn't always possess this or a positive outlook

3) Good friends I have been so blessed to have a variety of friends all who bring something different into my life.

4) Employment I am SUPER happy about having a job, because things seemed a little rocky this week.

5) My church family They pray for me and with me and I know I can count on them. I also am blessed with a phenomenal and timely Word on the weekends.

6) Jr. Kidz Church For so many reasons being in the Childrens ministry has helped me. I feel like I am making a difference in the lives of others and I know the kids are helping me to grow.

7) My family Who have shown me (for the most part) unconditional love and when they don't, they teach me patience.

8) My purpose I understand what it is and it gives me something to strive for and look forward to. I just need to get that ball rolling.

9) My dogs Buddy has helped me in the past and is a fantastic, low maintenance companian (well low maintainence until recently). Muffin is helping to teach me to multi-task

10) My ipod Random I know, but between my music and my christian podcasts (particularly Joel Osteen) really helps me get through some things.

God's Favor..

I have news...

I am really grateful right now.. This is a repeat of an email I sent to someone who has been praying for me and my job situation that sums it up nicely...

I have an update for you on my situation. On Monday they announced they were laying off almost half of the RTP employees at my job. I stood in faith that my outcome would be good no matter what - although I was having some physical issues - migranes and anxiety, I focused on staying positive.

I got a call from my contracting company saying that there were 2 options for the contractors, either they would be gone at the end of the week or the end of November. I am thankful to report that I am in the end of November category!!

I just thank God for his favor and for you. I also thank you for continually praying for me while I am in this phase of job transition.

So that's the story..isn't God good!


I am going to continue to pray for all of my co-workers who will find out there fate tomorrow. They gave some of us the day off tomorrow. I told a couple of my girlfriends to keep the faith and trust God for the outcome as well.

I am off to bed, I am glad for myself...but my heart is heavy for the 400 (or so) people who will no longer be employed after tomorrow.
