Resolution!

Today I made a resolution, you see every day I realize I haven't updated my blog recently and so I tell myself I need to do that but the day rolls by it just dosen't fit in. And so I go about my weeks needing to post, feeling condemed cause I haven't posted, and still not posting. So I've decided that I will no longer feel condemed about not posting, after all this is my blog and I have evey right to post when I feel like it and when I don't. But I promise you that I will try and update but I won't feel condenmed about it. Now I had some really funny pics I was going to post but I couldn't find them, so i will find them and post them for your viewing pleasure shortly until then I wish you all well.

Signs Gone Wrong.

Random!

In my home we have this weird habit of saying random, Like for exsample will start a story and say " Oh my god this random thing happened to me today" or someone will say something out of the blue and we'll all be like " Jeez, that was random" or " O.K....that was random". Its just like a habit we have, and I just realized it a couple week ago at dinner. Not because I was actually listening for it but i was just sitting there listening to everyone talking and I heard it said repeatedly. I immediatly wondered if we always said it or if it was just that night. So you know how when your looking for something you always seem to notice it more, so I noticed over the next few days that everyone including myself have this habit of saying random. Anyway for some random reason I decided to share this with you. Pretty random, Huh?

Potter and Clay.

Down by the house of the potter
I went with the Lord one day,
And I watched while he slowly fashioned
A vessel from plastic clay.
Slowly on the wheel he turned it,
Shaping it with patient skill
Till the plastic clay was molded,
According to the Master's will.
But as I watched His working
He turned with a look of pain,
For the vessel in His hands was fractured,
His work seemed alas in vain.
Something in the clay had marred it,
Somewhere there has been a strain,
And the work must be suspended,
The potter must begin again.
Then as I watched and wondered
He took up the clay once more,
And around on the wheel he turned it,
And fashioned it o'er and o'er.
Patiently he pressed and shaped it
With a bright and smiling face,
Till at last from the wheel he took it,
A vessel of surpassing grace.
O Lord, Thou art our Potter
And we the plastic clay,
Mold us to Thy perfect will,
And lead us in Thy way.

David and Goliath.

I found this adorable video that I made with my nephews and nieces awhile ago and thought i'd post it for remeeberance sake.

Right..so.

I know I know I've been unfaithful to my blog and toally ingorned it for far to long. The thing is i really have not had anything intresting to post about, I've been racking my brian for the past few weeks and no grand or genius plan has come to mind. So I've been kinda giving it a rest until some stroke of genius hits me ( if it ever does). But I decided today that I can be untrue to my poor dear blog no more so I have determined to post some thing whether it is intreting or not just for the sake of saying I posted something. Thus volia this post, and hopefully if your really lucky a few more.

Me...again.

Gosh, I have been totally and completly ignoring this blog. I am sorry that all of avid readers ( If I have any) have had to open my blog only to find the same boring old post. The thing is I have been going through some blogger blues and frankly have nothing to write about. But contrary to what most bloggers would do i am not going to delete this blog I will just try very very hard to find something to post about. But not right now because I am very busy having a wonderful Feast. So stay posted and i'll try to do some updating soon. adios, kisses and hugs all around. Yours Truly.

New Year! ( Yes Its very late)

Well Happy New Year, I was planning on making this huge post on New Years but I forgot and well time flys and here I am on the twelth and as is my habit posting very late. Well I hope you all had a rock them sock em New Years! I reallly don't have much to say about this New Year for me it was fun time ( mostly because i was so happy to be done the christmas push). Well have a great year ahead ya'll Enjoy, Love the lord, and be a all around good disciple. Love You!

Update.

Well that is me up there after the last last few weeks as I said in earlier posts christmas and the weekend after were extremly hectic. Than fianlly I was back home and I think it got more stressing. Not that things got busier it was just getting back and you know planning kids school and having meetings and scheduling WNR's time off extra ( not that I do this but still I feel the stress for those who did). I had a little vacation a couple days ago and it felt great, just to get some time to relax and finish up the stuff I needed to get done was very rewarding. I completly missed posting for new year there was alot happening and we didn't really do much for new years but it was fun in its own way. This year has just been so amazing, not because something outstanding happened or that I had soem really great wonderful experenice. But because in so many little small ways the lord has made this year worth it all. I'll post a new years post for you all, and most of all just for the heck of it after this. Well the brings me to an end of the recap of my few weeks.

I miss my home!!!

I miss that beautiful wonderful property up there. Yes that is my house and I miss it. Its so beautiful and quiet, no loud annoying people playing loud annoying music on their loud annoying speakers. ( Yes thats alot of loud annoying things.) I miss the kids, I miss my room, and my beautiful bed. Oh i can't wait to go home tomorrow. (Taps red heels together and chants " I wish i were home, I wish I were home.")

Joke!

Christmas time!?

Yes, don't tell me I'm overly late in wishing you all a merry christmas, in fact there's really no use in wishing you one because its already gone but oh well. Christmas this year was...special. I felt more like a scrooge than anything else. I was gone on the fundriasing push for ten days and came back christmas eve fully exchausted and really seriously wishing to never ever EVER see a car light again. I spent christmas cleaning and cooking a huge dinner mostly by my self, which of course had all its beautiful little mess ups. Like raw boiled potatoes ( its a skill to make these almost impossible really), uncooked meat, late dinners, and etc. Than after a half day rest day its back again for my facvorite past time...( drum roll please)...car ligthing. Yes, out here again for yet another weekend of funraising, let me tell you what I REALLY hate lights. This is turning into a really grumpy post which is really not nice. actually its not so bad being down here has its fun times, its laughs, its niceties, and yes its tireing times too. But overall i'm just thankful i've lived through yet another year, that all my family is still here and we've grown by a few more. I'm thankful for all the wonderful things i've gotten to do this year, for the wonderful people i've met, for the fun times i've had. I'm so very thankful for the changes i've made this year, and most of all i'm thankful for another year with jesus. Happy Birthday Jesus, your the reason for the season.

The concert jungle?

Despite the many things about this city that make it somewhat undesirable to some I have grown a soft spot for it. Its got its charm in some ways. I actually quite like it, its got something about it that gives its something special. I ecspecially like the people its such a wide mix you can just sit there and watch all kinds of strange people pass and no one even looks twice at them. Its great, new york has definitly created its own soft spot.

The Perfect Home.

It seems my wandering days have now ended
This gypsy's got to stop his roam
Time to establish a lasting work
But, first to find "The Perfect Home."

Lets start with on fire outreachers
A dozen world shiners will do
All of them single with no children
Ready to witness the whole day through.

Four top-notch hard working handymen
With a full line of new power tools
And a stock of endless material
Let them start with a brand new pool.

Finances -give me abundance
Kings, windfalls -we'll never run short
Clear off the back lot tomorrow
And make us a new tennis court.

Teens without any problems
JETTs on JJT all the day
Babies content and so quiet
Young kids that always obey.

The best teachers and cooks and drivers
Old friends, and those who provision
All the sexiest sisters I know
Now I'm really getting the vision.

Plenty of live music when needed
Inspirations by Jeremy and Vas
Outreach always on Easy Street
The best Home that ever there was.

How shall I find them I wonder?
I know, through the website I'll comb
I just don't think I can make it
Unless it's the most perfect Home.
- - -
But what of the simple folks I now live with?
I might miss their funny little ways
We have grown a lot together
Should I let some of them stay?

Their kids can behave like such rascals
And sometimes bring me to tears
But they have grown a lot since I met them
And made progress all through the years.

They are quite faithful daily plodders
And do the very best that they can
Would the grass really be greener
In my imaginary far off land?

Could it be that God's idea of perfection
Is very much different from mine?
Have my goals become self centered?
Am I the one way out of line?

Maybe I need a little more perfecting
Is Gods way up still the way down?
Does He really choose those little people
To give the biggest and bestest of crowns?

Lord help me be yielded and loving
Doing my best to give all
And trust You fully and wholly
To follow wherever You call.

It seems You have chosen the foolish
To confound the world full of wise
And the place where You have now set me
May be my blessing in disguise.

Maybe I don't need to go searching
For gold that may turn out to be chrome
I may already have the right makings
That for me is the Most Perfect Home.

Crazy Me!

I just realized what a crazy loon I can be sometimes. The other day I was doing car lighting and I went to the bathrom for a pee break. I was going back out and i went to open the door but a guy was on the other sde trying to get in so I stepped back so he could open the door but he motioned for me to open the door. So I strated opening it but right then he stepped up to open it too and I rammed right into him. Hee Hee! I felt so bad and he had this huge lump on his head from it.
Another time I was doing a car light and I was walking back, I was looking down on my can and rearranging my posters so i wasn't paying attention to what's in front of me and I walked right into telphone pole when I looked up there was a cop car right beside me and he was laughing his head off.
I guess the lord does these things to keep humble and help me realize I'm nothing without him. In fact with out him I'd probably be a mess. ( Wait I think it's a little too late for that.)Grin.

My little Love!

This is my little lovebug, I've taken care of him since he was this small. He's so big now, and so smart too. ( Yes, I am a dotting aunt. I just love nephews and nieces to much.)

Potty Training Blues!

No people fear not I am not potty training myself rather the adorable little munchin up there. I have recently taken up the challenge of potty training the litle guy after I realized that he will be three in about two months. I decided that three was just to old to be wearing diapers, so I took up the challenge and I realized why he is not potty trained. Potty trianing is exchausting annoying and sometimes just down right yucky. I'm not only trying to train him to use the potty but also the whole home to put him there. I find myself more often than not walking around the house asking whoevers with him if they put him on the potty yet. And then going back every five minutes and reminding them. But you know what, I am sure that once I have suceeded potty training will be a breeze. ( This is me wishfully thinking.)

No sprained ankles.

Well that is were I will spending the next few weeks of my life. At traffic lights, I have no sprained ankle and i have not fallen deathly ill so like it or not i'm off to the city till christmas eve. Well, hopefully people are feeling the love of the season and will be exceptionally nice. PTL!

Its here again!

Well its here again christmas has once again burst upon us bring with it joy, cheer, good will to all men, and in my part of the world tons and tons of snow. Christmas always gives me this warm fuzzy feeling inside I guess it the majic of the season of something. I love christmas its brings back so many memories of waking up christmas morning to find that mom and dad had been hard at work filling our stockings and wrapping presents. I remember sitting around the living room christmas eve and reading the old christmas story that really can never lose it beauty or charm. I remember watching my mom cooking a big christmas dinner and waiting for the day when i would be old enough to help her. I remember watching football after dinner and washing piles of dishes. Yes, christmas is a wonderful time of year!
