How I feel

5:21 PM | 0 Comments

Today I changed my blog to a private thing.  I am ready for the whole world to not know what I am doing.  I want to connect personally with people instead of constantly hearing " oh I feel like I know you via Facebook"  While I do not put anything on Twitter or Facebook that I would be embarrassed about, I am done with spending hours a week seeing what everyone is doing and stating what I am doing.  I would rather call someone and have a conversation with people.  Guess I am over Facebook and Twitter.  I was getting all of my news from twitter instead of watching the news or reading a newspaper.  I also was hearing about events through the internet instead of my friends.  I have to decided to take the time that I would usually spend on Facebook and twitter and journal and read the Word.  I have a lot of decisions to make and I want to make sure it is the right one.

I have started a new relationship.  It is great, and fun and exciting.  Do I love him?  Not sure... Do I like him? definetly.  I get chills when I am near him, and butterflies when he kisses me.  I love that he pays attention to me.  I love that he is comfortable with me.

It is proving to be hard to let my guard down and let him in.  I want him to know me, all of me- the good and the ugly.  I fear rejection and someone not liking me.  I have a seen a lot of things that I do not like about myself.  For all these years, I have done things that have been okay with me, but after reflecting and looking to God for guidance, I realize that I am not walking the walk... i am a hypocrit- easy to come up with advice for someone else, but the instant that I am faced with the same decision or event, I clam up and want to face it on my own.  I also feel very convicted for the alcohol binges and bad decisions.  i am a leader in the church and will be in the community.  I should act as that leader, and my actions prove to be louder than words. We are all faulty and we all fall short, but I feel as though I am not trying to come any where close to what I should be doing.

IQ Of Small Children

This one ranks right up there with the best of the best.........
 

 
 
 IQ of small children
 

 A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class.  She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.  It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1. Don't change horses until they stop running.
2. Strike while the bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of termites
5. You can lead a horse to water but How?
6. Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.
7. No news is impossible
8. A miss is as good as a Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new Math
10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust Me.
12. The pen is mightier than the pigs.
13. An idle mind is the best way to relax.
14. Where there's smoke there's pollution.
15. Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is not much.
17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and You have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you
See in the picture on the box
24. When the blind lead the blind   get out of the way.
25. A bird in the hand is going to poop on you.
                      And the WINNER and last one!    

26. Better late than Pregnant

The Quilt

3:09 PM | 1 Comments


My granny makes quilts for all of her grandchildren when they graduate from high school. I can't believe I haven't thought about taking pictures and showing off this beautiful quilt she made for me almost 9 years ago.

Instead of having a pattern to it, she decided use bonnets and portray the different aspects of my life. There is the church, which is the center of my world, and my heart. Throughout the whole quilt, there is a scene representing when I raised a pig and a heifer, my first car, cooking, taking care of kids, reading, graduating... it is amazing at how accurate she got in all of the things that are important to me. This is something that I will always treasure and will soon put up and not use as much in order to save it so that my children will be able to see it.

One other important part of this quilt: My grandfather "Bappaw", helped her quilt this. My Aunt Laura, one of my favorite aunts, also helped to quilt. As I continue to step through the different stages of life, I love to sit and wrap this quilt around me, and think about all of the wonderful memories that are woven into it.

I was, and still am, in awe in how much love, sweat, and time went into this project..and she did it all to see me smile! I am truly blessed.

A thing to Remember

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on .. Not from his head to be superior ... but from the side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved." I got this from a friend's facebook status. I love this!!!
