Funny how these quizes can be so right! lol

What Star Trek Race are YOU?

"Don't feel sorry for me, I havn't lost my Hope" he says

Praying for a miricle

I know we are not going to understand everything in the here and now.  I know God has a purpose for each of us and a plan for our life.  We never know when our days will end, but it is apointed unto man once to die and then the judgement.  I also know that not everyone is going to go to heaven, not everyone accepts that love from God, not everyone is choosen.  Oh everyone is called but few take up that call.  I know Jesus said he will not loose one that has been give to him by the Father.  He will do what ever it takes.  Some may see a sickness as a horrible thing, but if the end result of that is your faith is established in God, it causes you to call out to him and hope in only him, it was worth the hurts.  I have seen the most stubern of hearts turn to God because of a major life catasopher, and also seen him work on hearts with only seeds of love, either way it is him who does all the work.  What will it take for you?  What will it take for him to not loose you?  The hard way or the easy way?  Will you see him working in your life and still reject him?  Time is running short, not today or tomororw, but soon, you will have to choose who you serve and who your hope is in.

Just one person touched by the moive THE PASSION OF CHRIST

Donnetta's reaction to THE PASSION OF CHRIST.

I had to link her here and encourage all to read her post about this movie.  You can see how effected she was by it, how this movie has helped God's Love click with her.  It is just so awesome to see God moving in peoples lives, I know this was just a movie, but he uses many things to call out to us, draw us to him. Like I said before there was indeed a power out there that did not want people to see this movie.  In my comment to her post I said, If just one person saw it and Got It like she did, it was worth all the millions spent to make it.

I can't wait to see this movie.

My Mirror! Personized Just for me!

I can now say I own a Nadine Orginal!! Arn't you evenious of me? lol  She will be more than happy to make you one for around $35-45 plus shipping.  I love it and consider it well worth the money I spent.  This chick is going to be famous oneday, I envision her having stores all over the country.  She is very talanted. lol There Nadine, did I pimp you out engh?? lol Just Kidding!

Orginaly when I decied to order one of her creations I thought I would get some little mirror for my new desk Josh is making me.  When I got it out of the box I saw it was much bigger than I had in my head.  I don't think it will fit on the desk, but we will see, the desk isnt done yet.  I had to have purple in the mirror and it had to have my screen name, honeybees and flowers was just a given.  I like the added touch of the sun on it, makes me think of The SON and to look to above.  For now, until I figure out where to put the wonderful peice of art it will go in my china hutch so the kids dont break it.  Don't pay any attention to the pics with me in it.  I look horrible.  My complection is all broke out, sigh, I used to have such a lovely one, should of listion when ppl told me to take care of it. Maybe when I can afford it I will go try some of Donetta's beauty stuff.

Attempt # 5335 part 1 of 2

I have wrote this entry like 3 times now and just before I could save the power flikered here at the house and shut the computer down and it was lost. Then this morning the journal wouldn't let me click on add new entry. So here we go again, and uggg it frustrates me that AOL by phone is still down.

I had to eat humble pie Sunday.  I had to ask a friend to forgive me cuz I was just not acting right.  It all started back in December when I was part of the planning for GS neighborhood holiday party.  I was in charge with helping decorate.  Back when my older two was in Head Start I did alot of vollunteer work and made many friends and one of them was Sue. A project we worked on together was a fundraiser using pics with Santa.  Sue had her ex-husband build this realy awesome sleigh for Santa (Josh played Santa that year) to sit in for the pics.  So I asked her if I could use it for this GS event.  It was no problem as long as I could get it back and forth.  I have moved away from her and its a good 25 min drive.Neither of us had a truck so it took some doing for me to find one to use. At the last min I was able to find someone to pick up from her house and bring it to mine and then to the event with the little detail of how to get it back to Sue left hanging.

Part 2 of 1

Well that was way back in Dec. It's what March now?! and this sleigh has been sitting in front of my house since.  It worked well as decorations but now it Spring. Sue has been hounding me for two months to get it back to her and I am so sorry I havnt been able to. I am truck-challanged.She starts to get upset(rightly so) and get angry about the whole thing so I start avoiding her calls,Call ID.But with each avoided call, I started to careless and a pang of guilt would plauge me that I would stuff down. This is not like me at all usualy, but I was letting the Devil get a foothold in my life, see what happens! Last Friday Sue had her ex call me and say he would come and get it and I was happy, then the whole mess would be done with! Josh encouraged me to call Sue (he doesnt like her much but he could even see how terrible of a friend I was being) and I dug my heels in saying no and avoided it. Then you know Convition from God came upon me and He told me I had to humble myself and call Sue and ask for forgivness. So eventaly, after fighting with myself I got the nerve up to call her Sunday and after two attempts I got her on the phone. I told her I was sorry, that I shouldn't of acted like that, I wasnt being much of a friend, please forgive me.She wasnt very enthoused to hear from me but she didnt cuss me out like I thought she would.So now I have a ton of guilt off my chest, the Devil has been kicked out of that part of my life and soon I will have a bare yard again. Lession Learned.

Thank you Friends!

I just want to give a shout out to Kara from BrandNew Day (would link but she went private).  She wrote me an e-mail that was such an encourgment to me.  Sometimes we as humans get in low points and we listion to the wrong voice, you know the one that tells you YOU SUCK, You Dont do any Good, What's the Point and yadyaddayadda..  A few days ago I was doing that and she saw that in my journal and as she said she saw some of herself in it but she wanted to encourage me.  She flattered me with all the wonderful things she had to say and I even cried becuase I was so touched. I needed to hear that from some one, some else saying, Mary YOU DoNot Suck!   It always amazes me what a conection we can have with ppl thousands of miles way, how J~Land gives us these peaks into others lives and we can connect.  You never know the impact we have on eachother, positive and negitive.  I try and be an encourager all the time and somtimes I forget that I too need encouragement, seems like I rarley get it at home, at least not in the ways I feel I need.  No my husband isn't a monster, he is one of the most loving and kind man I have ever known.  And you often only get to see one side of the story.  He never insults me with mean words or puts me down.  But sometimes raw truth and the tone it is given in can hurt just as much.  And lol after all he is just a man and sometimes let's face it, they dont always know how to tell women all that sensitve gooey stuff we need to hear or when they do try lol it comes off wrong.   So Thank you Kara and all my friends who take the time to speak into my life, to encourage me and sometimes hold me in check too.  This Journal is like a diary to me, the one I was afraid to keep growing up because of the time the one I did have got in the wrong hands and was read.  Here I have control and freedom, but also a plus is I speak into others lives.
