Ramblings

This 4 day weekend off of work was amazing. Wednesday night started everything off with a bang. Big Wednesday at RVCC was just...indescribable. That's right I can't put any words to it. That is the best I have felt in a long time. I'm not the normal lift your hands type of girl or even one that cries in front of people. I let that go on Wednesday because I...well I just needed to do that for myself. Someone "new" that I was sitting with loved it as well...her comment was "This is great. If people can cheer and get excited at a sporting event they can cheer and get excited at church."

Thanksgiving...this was the first year without my mom. I was dreading Thanksgiving. Really really dreading Thanksgiving (emphasis on really really). Can I add my God is AMAZING here. Yes, I must...insert...MY GOD IS AMAZING. He got me through this holiday....this holiday I really really dreaded. He made this holiday special and I just praise him for that. I think I had my mind set that it wouldn't be good and celebrating Thanksgiving without my mom not here was wrong. It was wrong because I should be sad. God had other plans...praise him he had other plans.

Friday, well I usually get up at the crack of dawn Friday...you know black friday...and go shopping. Not this year I slept and it was good...really really good. I then spent the rest of the day with my sister and then had a youth leader meeting that night. Can I just say how much I like the other youth leaders at RVCC? I mean wow! Our RVCC kids are lucky...Eli, Jenn, Marty, Jenn, Chris, Tesa...they are amazing. I'm so thankful that they are helping me with this goal of mine to become a youth leader. This is really important to me and these people are taking me under their wing without resistance. They are the definition of small things done with great love. I just want to conclude with RVCC.

Alright, I decided RVCC needs it's own paragraph. lol! Again I am thankful for all the people that support me and are helping me reach my goal of becoming a youth leader. Also, I have been attending RVCC for about 4 1/2 years now...since age 18 or 19 and I'll be 24 next month. Anyways, I've always loved RVCC and called it my church and but now it's really "my church" it's "my home church". Lately I have felt so connected to this church and the people that go there. I love our pastor and his family. I love when Steve preaches, I love Jaki's smile, I love Laura Tiu's greetings in the morning, I love a quick chat with Mark Percell, I love the youth leaders, I love Julie P.'s enthusiasm, Jodi & Julie are down to earth, Paula and Shawn White are great to talk to, I love the youth kids, Vicki is amazing and Guy Hause has been around me since jr. high, Marty is amazing at worship, and Anna knows how to choke a sista up every once in awhile with her voice...there are many more people that go to my church that I adore...I love the people that go to my church. They are a group of loving amazing people. I am happy at RVCC. I am blessed at RVCC. I am myself at RVCC.

Anyways, that was a lot of rambling. But, It was good for the soul to blog tonight!

I Be Kinda Smart! Lol!

Your Thoughts

What do you think about Jesus? Not the church or Christians...just Jesus. What do you think of him?

Describe "your" Jesus to me.

Quizzes can be fun!

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

I watched a chick flick and I kind of liked it

Alright, I hate to admit it but I watched a chick flick last night on the Lifetime movie channel (or as my brother-in-law and husband call it the man hater channel). When I tell you what movie it was most of you women will gasp in shock (and/or horror) that I haven't seen this movie until now. The movie was Pretty Woman and my favorite quote was this:

"The bad stuff is easier to believe, ever notice that?"

What are your thoughts about this?

This Thing Called Life

Have you ever called somewhere and just wanted to get through to a real person but instead you press all these buttons and get this automated system?

I feel like I do this in life! Press 1 for English. Some people you talk to act like they have no idea what you are talking about when you try to be "real" and you keep pressing 1 for English but they just don't get it.

Press 2 for Customer Service. Urg! I don't want everyone to know my problems. This is personal. I'll wait for the next number!

Press 3 for...then you get this person telling you "if you just pray harder" or "time heals all wounds" or "Jesus loves you anyways"...hmmm...nice but not what I was looking for right now.

Press 4...I am talking to myself at this point right? This line is no help. This line is making me feel angry. I want to talk to a "REAL PERSON"!

Press # for a directory. What? I don't really know who I want to talk to...ummm...just a "REAL PERSON"!!!!

So then all those extra buttons and you finally get through to a real person to talk to. Someone that tells you it's ok to feel the way you are feeling. It makes me feel a little more satisfied and a little more justified.

However, when I hang up I'm going to call someone else...paging God!

Anyways, that was my scenario of the people you run into in your life. And, really you need to talk over your problems with the people nearest and dearest to you (real people) and you need to talk to the one that always gets you...God!

Yes this post is totally random and I am totally tired!

3 YEARS & GOING STRONG!

This blog is being posted a little late. October 9th Brian and I celebrated 3 years of marriage. I am not sure how I got so lucky but I thank God for him all time time! He is so loving, caring, compassionate, giving, kind, sarcastic, humorous, fun, and....well, I could go on and on about him.

Anyone that knows us well knows that we are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Brian has an engineer mind. He is good at math, science, computer work, and all those brainy type things. I am better at literature, history, and I love being artsy fartsy. Brian also has what Marty "Chillicothe" Ford calls "mad fire making skills" and well, I'm not very gifted in that area lol! However, I think that this is what makes us "us" and this is the very reason we get along so well. That and I do enjoy a man that brings me cappuccino = )

Anyways, as you can tell, I've enjoyed the 3 years that I have been married to Brian and I look forward to more!
