  • Surrender.  Letting go.  knowing the next step.  knowing how to be the person God wants me to be.  I need Jesus every moment, every second.  Yet I leave Him out, I try to do it on my own, and I fall.  He picks me up, He carries me.  He is I AM.  I don't just need him in the big things, I need him SO much every day.  God, remind me of my need for you.  Remind me of WHO YOU ARE.

  • mud pies

    I hate you today.  my beloved obsession.  You haunt me with false reality that rips me to the core.  Piece by piece you deceive and I receive, letting my beliefs fall prey to nonexistence.  The strong sturdy foundation has slipped out from under me.  I'm clinging to a grain of sand lost in the ocean of unbelief.

    Come rescue me, oh wait I'll stay.  I hate this place, it feels like home.  I tripped somewhere along the blissful path of life and thought I'd stay and wallow in the mud.  Mud pies only satisfy the fantastical mind, leaving distasteful remnants of what could have been. 

    Oh may I see the day where mud pies cease and my grain becomes a shore

  • You make me want to do things I don't do...You make me want to say things I don't say...You make me want to deny myself and become the person i never wanted to be...cause who you see in me makes me want to be someone you can love but love just isn't free.  It's not really love at all cause it would cost you your whole life.  lust takes a different face and claims to be something it's not.  if we could just see the world for what it is and find a way to not pretend maybe we could find ourselves and stop these games we play

  • random, fun, and all those other words I used to hate

    the internet and I don't really get along lately.  I'm usually too tired or lazy...adjustment to a new lifestyle is interesting...full time job....i want to play more.  I want to be free.  freedom sometimes is a mindset.  i choose to work.  i could quit.  i must remember that.  it's interesting sometimes how tolerance in itself is somewhat contradicting.  by claiming complete tolerance you run into problems when someone says that they believe tolerance is wrong.  the tolerant are being intolerant towards intolerance.  So that really made sense in my head, but not really on paper, or the computer screen mind you.  3 doors down....great concert.  lots of fun....the drunks...not so much fun, but funny.  relaxing.  football season will be here soon...so excited.  tired.  want to veg.  busy week.  VBS, invoices, payments, banks, where is my life?  where is that to-do list? it will never all get done.  i should just have fun.  until we meet again

  • my mission statement

    As a child of God, I will operate my life according to biblical morals and standards allowing others to see that I am who I am because Christ.  My faith and family are the most important things in my life and I will strive to put them first.  Whatever my role may be in my family, I will love and protect those relationships through prayer and actions.

    My faith entails what I believe God has gifted me with and called me to do.  I will use my gifts of servant-hood and administration to serve families, specifically mothers and children.  I see myself as a mother to children whether that be my own or someone else's.  Specifically I will wrok to unite orphans with families and help mothers to raise their children.

    In the field of Social Work, I will provide servant leadership, organization, love, friendship, and guidance.  I will work to help families to grow and be united.  Implementing changes in governmental and agency processes will help to accomplish one of my goals of reforming international adoption. 

    Throughout my life, I never want to become stagnant.  I want to follow Christ and what He would have me do.  I will measure my success by what GOd has accomplished through me.  I will strive to always accept, love and care for the people around me, putting others before myself no matter who they are or where they are from, treating them as Christ has treated me with love, compassion, patience and grace.
