Where I have been lately


I had to step away from a few things to focus on me, to focus on God and my responsibilities.  The crazy thing is, one day I went into my closet and noticed a few things hanging there, brand new, never worn, some with tags on it.  I thought, hmm....maybe I can sell some on the computer and earn a few bucks off them since its just sitting there.  Then I started going through each and every item to see whats worth selling on the computer and whats worth just for a garage sale. 

I have been extremely blessed!!!!  I cant complain with all of the blessings God has given me and the dedication to make a few extra bucks.  Not only am I making some money on things that I have that just sat there, but I'm cleaning and throwing away stuff. 

I also have been trying to walk with the Lord and do His will.  I have been trying to better myself, still eat right and be loving as Jesus is.  I have put up a wall with certain things that needed to be built and I have accepted things and moved on past things that was holding me down.  I am still human and I still have my faults and weaknesses like the next person. 

My friendships with people have gotten stronger and more sincere and true.  I have enjoyed getting to know some new people and even some people Ive known but got closer too.

I don't know what my whole purpose of life in this world is, but I am having fun learning and trying to figure it out as God leads me.  I have been becoming more at peace and more independent as each day goes by.  In fact....I went to go eat lunch at a place where they cook in front of you, by myself today.  I got to talk to some people I didn't know and even the cook, whom I have known for 10 years, cooked for me, which rarely happens and he talked to me and even said if he known I was coming alone, he would of sat on the other side with me.  How sweet is that!!!!  Today, in a way...I felt pampered....I felt like God was shining through everyone towards me.  It was this amazing feeling and yet just comforted.  It felt like God was wrapping His arms around me and assuring me that everything is going to be okay. 

I even sat down today, talked to my grandpa and at one point, he came into my room, sat down and we talked about God.  I loved it!!! I enjoy the moments I have with him and his awesome personality that just comforts you.  He came over, kissed me on my forehead and told me he loved me before he went to bed.  I enjoy taking care of my grandpa.  Hes not at a point where he needs care or help with personal stuff, but just someone to take him to church and to places, get him the things he needs, which I totally don't mind.  Its just my life.....hes my kiddo!!!  He takes care of me and I feel like he does more for me than I do him sometimes.  My goal is to get stable enough financially that if something did happen, I could take care of myself.  I know God would take care of me, not matter what and to have faith like that, is an amazing, peaceful feeling.

I'm not about making the most money or having the most nicest thing.  I actually enjoy struggling a little bit, because I feel like you appreciate it more.  I want a good, respectable, stable job where I can grow, love, enjoy and help people in some way.  I know God has this job out there for me and I wont lie...sometimes I get a little insecure that people look at me as a 27 year old, bumming off of her grandpa, not wanting to work or do anything.  The kicker is.....all my close friends know that I am willing to work and would love to find a job now if I could.  My coworkers at my job now, all say I'm one of the most hardest workers they have, that I even work harder then some managers.  I enjoy working, providing and earning my dollar.  I appreciate it!!!  I think financially Ive had it easy my whole life.  I'm not saying I was rolling in money or had the nicest things, but I never had to worry about a bill being shut off or anything like that.  Ive had to worry about certain bills being late or paid, but nothing extreme and not often.  I feel so blessed for that, I am totally not bragging, but I think that's why I do enjoy earning my own money.  Its a very accomplishing feeling!!

I don't know what the future holds, what tomorrow brings, next weeks weather or next months memories, but I do know that God is an amazing God!!!  I love Him so much and I honestly feel like Hes my husband right now....he takes care of me and provides and loves me like no other!!  I cant wait for the man God has for me to walk into my life and wisp me off my feet!!!  I can feel him.....I can feel him getting closer and I already love him and I don't even know him.  I love a man, I don't even know......its awesome!!!! Its a feeling that I have never felt before, but its from God and that's what makes it that much special!!!

A thousand years

How Awesome is God???

SUPER DUPER AWESOME!!!!!  A couple of days ago, my car started to act up and I realize my AC in my house was blowing out cool/warm air, not cold air.  I didn't know what I was going to do.  I, of course think of the worse......transmission is going out and AC is going out.....what am I going to do? 

I prayed....I really didn't know what I was going to do, but knew that somehow, someway the Lord was going to make a way.  I even thought....well the Lord doesn't promise us a car or air condition....I would survive!!! 

I went to a Christian event Friday night in Dallas and even during it, just stressed at what was wrong with it and what I was going to do in the morning going to work.  The next morning I didn't make it to work.  I did end up finding out some of the hoses was connected right and my ex took care of me and looked over my car for me......blessing!!!

So I called Tuesday about the air, because at this point its warming up and I cant push it till its unbearable and I got a quote and didn't know what I was going to do.  I knew I could scrounge up the money somehow, but I really didn't want too and was afraid it was going to wipe me out good.  I waited until my friends dad came over and tonight he looked at it.  I know this might sound silly and this even happened before, but a switch was turned off.  Somehow when he was putting up my cords in my backyard, he thought the off switch was to the garage electricity and it was to the air conditioner.  So for about an hour and him taking off and cleaning the outside unit (which needed to be done) he comes in and starts looking at the inside.  He asked, where is the on, off button.  LIGHT BULB GOES OFF!!!! I get up from the table and start walking outside and he follows me and I open to box where the switch is and its off!!!!  I turn it on and you can hear the fans going and I was so grateful.  Last time this happened....I paid $55.00 for a man to come do the switch, lol.  Its blowing out cool air.  

I wanted to cry!!!  I just was so grateful and thankful it was nothing huge and serious.  I still am just sitting here, thankful and thanking God that I have air and didn't have to drain my accounts to get it fixed.  I am so glad it was something small and silly. 

God is good to me!!! I cant complain.  I'm not worthy of His blessings, but I want to shout it from a roof top!!  I want Him to get all the Praise and attention!!!  :)

My white heart tattoo

me drawing my tattoo

prepping....getting ready to start

this isnt so bad

okay, now why are you going over it???

ouch, ouch, ouch, your going over it too many times...

NOPE!!! i see blood.........dont look, dont look....


Hurry up already, this hurts :(
FINALLY........were done...

I'm loving it!!!

keep it moist!!
its healing....scabbing over!!

ITs healed!!!


End results
I got my first tattoo in August of 2011.  I knew I wanted a white heart on my wrist for awhile and finally just got the balls and went and get it done.  I don't regret it and have thought about getting some more.  I really would love to get one on my high part of my rib, but nothing has stood out to me that I would want for a lifetime.  I love my tattoo, because no one can see it unless I point it out so if I did work somewhere professional, it wouldn't be a problem.  I also love it because its my signature and everyone who knows me personally knows I put a heart next to my name when I sign my name.  I do love it and I am hoping that some people around me that I love dearly will get my heart tattooed on them, but that might be pushing it!!!!

Looking back at this time in my life, I was in a place that is hard to even remember.  These pictures arnt who I am today or who I was 3 years ago.  I don't regret anything and I'm glad I went through some of the things I did, because it has made me who I am today, but looking at this woman, I don't know her!!!  Its so weird and I feel like I don't even look like that anymore either.  I just wanted to share my pictures of my tattoo!!!!  Maybe I can share some new ones!!! :)

A little known fact about me

Something you might not know about me is that I LOVE TO DANCE!!!  The sad part is, I really wont dance in front of a lot of people.  As far as I can remember I have loved music and beats.  I remember as a kid watching Dirty Dancing and just loving it.  Ive always been the type of person that I can look or watch something and then just do it.  I could be crying, laughing, sad, happy or whatever mood Im in and if a song with a beat comes on.....Im moving in some sort of way. 

I love dubstep, I love a good rap song with a good beat, I love electric style music and just dance music.  I dont know what it is, but it gets me going. 

This song will get me going.....good beat song

We actually did a work out to that song a year ago and I can still remember most of the parts.  I know thats why I enjoy zumba so much, because your working out but yet shaking your booty.  I also remember as a kiddo watching NSync, Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys over and over and remembering their choreography and doing it.  I was thinking the other day, with my "skill" what would I do now that Im an old lady?  I love it, but of course not enough to make it a job, just something that I enjoy, but I still love to dance and shake it all the time.  Im not the type to go to the club and do it though...its the weirdest thing.

God is good!!

All I can say is......God is good!!!!  I'm not a big person on saying that rededicating themselves to the Lord over and over all the time, but I understand when someone does, maybe going years without walking with God.  I know we all fall, we stray, we get off track, but this time that I have, it was a short time.  I'm not justifying of course the length of time, but I just needed to get smacked back on track, but I never left the Lord.


My friend sent me this song!!!

I went out searching for something that I felt like I was missing.  I missed affection, a mans attention, to feel wanted, to feel needed, but it was all wrong.  I was never happy with it and I didn't get anything out of it.  I knew I was searching for something that I had all along, but even better.  I have Gods love, affection, attention, I'm wanted by Him and I need Him!!!!  To know that my Heavenly Father has my heart and will never leave me or abandon me, is the most peaceful, amazing feeling I could ever ask for. 

I had one of the guys I was talking too, text me out of the blue today and asked me what I was doing.  I told him I worked till 10pm and he asked me if I wanted to kick it afterwards.  I had zero desire.  I wanted to go home and blog about what God has done for me.  I didn't want to go over there and do whatever that probably wasn't pleasing to the Lord anyways, but to be in a place where I have no desire is huge for me. 

I feel like I'm back to my old self again when I was happy and content with my life when I walked with the Lord.  The awesome and amazing thing about God is, is He likes to remind me of the future He has for me.  He likes to tell me that He has an amazing man for me that will be my other puzzle piece in this life and He likes to tell me that Hes not done with me and I have a purpose for this life.

I think about God all the time and wanting to do His will.  I even started back reading my Bible so I can finish it.  I still have cut alot of things out of my life, so I can stay focused on Him. 

I went and saw my Urologists the other day for my yearly exam and you know what???  He told me...."Ill see you in a couple of years".  He didn't even want to get any exams done, because back when I had my appendix out late in 2011, they did an CT scan and it was good and also, when I had my gallbladder attack and they did an ultrasound, he said he couldn't see the kidney, but that he could see the beginning part of the valve and it looked fine and he was completely happy with that.  Now don't get me wrong....I did do the whole, "you sure?" questions and all that, but he said, Nope!!!!  He also told me no diet pills, so I guess those are out of the question, but honestly.....I'm glad, because its motivated me more to eat better and get back on my regimen of exercise....a lifelong change.  If you only fully knew what it feels like to take a cancer test and wait for the results......ITS TORTURE!!!!!  To skip that with Dr's confidence and just my peace I feel, makes me feel great!!!! I wasn't looking forward to it, at all!!! 

Then my other Dr's, have been telling me that I might not need to get my gallbladder out since I haven't been having any problems with it.....Ill take that too!!! I dint want surgery and recovery.  I feel like my life is getting back on track when things seemed to be a little rocky there for a bit.

Also my grandpa had a Drs appointment to check his lungs and he is 83 years old and the guy that was doing it, told him that he was the best he has seen, because he didn't get tired.  Go Grandpa!!!!! I love him so much and I feel like God has been opening my heart and eyes up to see what an amazing man he really is and how blessed to have such a sweet, Godly man in my life.  I want my husband to be just like him!!!!  I am really a blessed woman for the life God has given me!!!  I wouldn't trade my life with no one else, even with all the ups and down and I have faced.  I am grateful for everyone who has came in and out of my life, for it made me the person I am today.  I have wonderful friends and a great family, and an amazing God whom I serve! 

I was at work today in the back doing freight and of course I turn the radio on to Christian music.....I couldn't help but think of the love Jesus has for me.  I don't deserve anything and yet he provides and I have gone against His commandments and yet He still delivered me out of sin.  Sometimes when I think of myself, I think that I am alot like David in the Bible.  David committed adultery, he killed someone (had them killed pretty much) and yet, God knew His heart and David cried out to God in Psalms.  I know I'm not perfect, I know I have sinned, but my heart cries out to God all the time.  Alot of times, there are no words....its just thank yous, and I'm sorrys, and I'm not worthy, and I love you and How can you love me?    In those moments when my heart is crying out, I always feel God put peace and love within me.  I really don't understand people who don't know God, how they go through their daily walk without Jesus.  I know they have to secretly be miserable or empty.

At the end of the day, I honestly want to do Gods will!!! I want to do whats right according to Him.  Will I fail? Yes...everyday!!!! That's whats so great about Jesus.....He died for my sins and He loves me that much!!!  Jesus knows my heart, for He has my heart and I'm glad that he can see my true desires. 

Its an amazing feeling to know too, when you friends tell you, "wow, you seem happy!!!" 

  I AM!!!!  I AM BLESSED!!!!!!  :)
