Tweet I Had an Old Box…(ec) I had an old box, it was an refrigerator box-one of those really big ones! I guess maybe it wasn’t really really old, but it was from our new refrigerator and I got this brilliant idea to turn it into a house. So in the middle of my living room I cut and colored and added fabric to turn that old box into a wonderful house. I could stand up in it..but I could crawl around and I was little so it didn’t bother me. I loved that house..I played in it for many days. But it was cardboard and eventually it was falling…

Relationships
Tweet Relationships Relationships are a huge part of life. Perhaps that is why God devoted most of the New Testament to talking about them. But why are they also often the source of trials and hardship. God has been teaching me a lot lately about what’s important in life. I am so quick to look out for #1 and forget that there are other people in my life. Sadly, my family usually gets the short end of the stick too. I was reading in my devotions last night, and I decided to read Psalms. I love that book, and I love how often David cries out to God. I realized…

Spring Break (ec)
Tweet Spring Break (ec) I fell in love- in love with New York City! It was so much fun. My mom and I went to visit her best friend who lives in Queens, NY-one of the burrows of NYC. We spent two days shopping in Manhattan! Talk about fun. We walked up and down 5th ave-going in and out of all the fancy shops that the stars shop at. We went to Trump Tower-that was cool. The man is mega rich..you can tell by His building-everything is Trump this or Trump that. Hum..I don’t want to bore you all too much so let’s see. We spent part of a day…

Attitude Adjustment
Tweet Attitude Adjustment I hate those two words..I usually associate them with words like heart issue. But lately, God has shown me that I need an attitude adjustment. As I have posted on before, we are reading through the book A Purpose Driven Life. And this past week, one of the chapters was entitled “What Matters Most”. The answer was relationships. And I agree..which is where my need for an attitude change comes in. Right now, more then anything, I want to get away. I’m sick of dealing with people, I’m sick of immature humans who won’t let things die, I’m sick of paying attention in my classes, I’m sick…

The Friday Five
Tweet The Friday Five Because I think Mr. Harmless is super cool and because I want to branch out in my blogging..I’m joining him in the Friday Five. Although this week and next will be a little late..sorry! Perhaps more of you will join..if not enjoy reading!:) If you… 1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve? I would serve Italian food. I love pasta and my relatives are Italian so it sorta seems natural. Other then that I don’t have much other reasons. 2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell? Clothing for the girl going to a Christian school. I hate…

Tweet Thoughtful Ever feel like giving up? Throwing in the towel and quitting? Sadly, those were exactly my feelings as this cheerleading season came to a close. I was literally counting down the hours until it would all be over. Although the season started out great, it slowly went downhill and came to the point where I dreaded it. I’m not saying I had the right attitude, because looking back I don’t think I did..but that was my attitude. Lately though, God has been showing me how even things like cheerleading, and maybe especially things like cheerleading bring out character and serve as countless learning and growing opportunities. But on…

My Dream Profession-extra credit
Tweet My Dream Profession-extra credit I have always wanted to be a fashion merchandiser. They are the people that travel to all the fashion shows and purchase styles for companies to sell. Ever wondered why stores sell certain things and not others? That’s where a fashion merchandiser comes in. It’s not very practical for having a family due to all the travel. But I think it would be the coolest job. They make really good money too-especially if you work for a company that is full of money. Just think, you would have the power to choose what a company sells and what they don’t. And since I love to…

Prayer Request
Tweet Prayer Request I have a request to make of all those who read my blog. Will you take a minute and pray for my family? My dad lost his job today and life all of a sudden turned into a big question mark. Thankfully, God has a perfect plan in all this and He will work it out to our good, however, sometimes even though that is true, it is hard to accept and believe. Especially admist trials. So I would appreciate your prayers. Thanks
