How many times have you heard the words....Today is the first day of the rest of your life ??
Well, aside from the inarguable fact that this is true, unless you should meet your end before the actual end of the day. We hear it but do we believe it?
But, I'm thinking a little differently today. Yes, today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I need to make it count. As do each one of us. It is so easy to just give up hope. To become depressed and distraught over the events taking place around us. We have seen disasters such as the super storm Sandy that devistated so many people, in such a large portion of the country. Elections that don't go the way that we would want them to go. When you lose your job due to lay offs. When uneployment issues arise in your claim and cause delays.
I have been through a few of these things lately and yes it makes you want to say "When it rains, it pours". But, what I know that I need to remember, is that each of these things only happens for a moment. When you look at them on the great big scale of time. Things happening may seem to drag on for us. But for God it is but the blink of an eye. So, if we look at these things knowing that God is in control of all that is around us, in the bigger picture, than we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. It may be a long tunnel, but there is an end. We need to ask God to help us to reach that end and to show us what WE can do to make it there sooner. It seems that we always want to know WHY? But, sometimes it's not for us to know. Because we all live together on this great big blue marble they call Earth, our lives are intertwined. We may not be able to see it, but it's there. We don't know why we are in this place at the moment. We don't know what He is planning for us up ahead. We tend to only see what is happening around us and then wallow in it. Have you felt that you were unable to do anything to change your circumstances and therefore, just sort of given up?
The other day I was driving down the road and I felt the Lord speaking to me. At least I hope that was the Lord, lol. I was thinking about prayer and how each of us has something different to pray for. Whether it is for ourselves, family or friends...whether it is for help, wisdom or strength.... Whether it is for something in our neighborhood, in another state or even another country. I started to think about how we a like the sands on the beach, the stars in the sky; how he knows each and every one and hears our prayers. If you happen to be a mom, you know exactly how hard it is to have your children all speaking to you at the same time, vying for attention. You may have even felt overwhelmed by it and raised your voice telling them one at a time. (Trust me, I did)
But, Our Lord is so awesome and amazing. He is able to not only hear our prayers but He is able to decipher which ones are important and which we can live without, which burdens are necessary in order for some other need to be filled.
The most perfect example of this is: Christ on the cross.
It is by far the most amazing thing, that God was able to see and hear His Son cry out to Him and still remain strong, still knowing that it was a necessary burden(Christ death) that must occur in order for another need (our salvation) to be filled.
If God can do all of these things at one time, then surely He is in control of all the things we see around us and perceive to be out of control. It is left to us to do one thing.....give it to Him. Remember the old saying : Let Go and Let God.
Well, it still has meaning. We too often, say God help me, take this from me. But, then we choose to hold on to it. We choose to continue to look at this burden over and over trying to find a way out. Instead of Letting Go and Letting God show you the way out. It may be right there in front of you but you can't see it. You just keep overlooking it, thinking that it can't possibly be the way you should go. Until you see that you have not let go, you will not be able to see it. If you never see it, then you will have taken it away from God and gone your own way. We know what happens when we go our own way. We see it all the time. People who are lost, alone and hurting. That lost, lonely person may be sitting right next to you in church on sunday but you might not see them hurting. Or that lost and lonely person may be you. But you're to stubborn or ashamed to admit it.
What we need to do in those situations is Let Go and Let God. If there is something that you are struggling with in your life right now..... Take a moment to reflect on what it is and what you have tried to do on your own to fix it. Take a moment to realize all the ways that you have tried to deal with this issue alone rather then giving it over to God. Take a moment and pray about it. Pray for the struggle you're dealing with but also pray to let go. Pray that God will give you a nudge every time you even think about taking it back upon yourself. You may not see it resolved before you eyes but, if you let Him have it, really let Him have it you will see it resolved. You will also find a peace in the letting go. How stressful our lives are when we try to control them ourselves. We are only human and therefore there is only so much that we can control.
Isn't it wonderful that we have a Awesome & Loving God who is in control and takes care of us in so many ways. Thank You Lord!
Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I give it to You!

Monday, October 29, 2012
Well, today has been a very good day! I will have to say that it has been one of the best days that I've had in a long time. Not that there haven't been good days. There have. But, today has been a day filled with good things happening to good people. I took my EKG Tech final exam this morning. I studied for it of course, but yesterday I still was really on the fence about how I was going to do. So, I made sure to start the day off right and give it to the Lord. Had a nice little prayer time first thing in the AM and then I studied in my head on the drive to class along with some more prayer. Then when I sat down for the exam, I took a deep breath and just tried to remember that God was with me. And "If God is for me, who can be against me". Several times during the test when I started to feel myself start to get just the slighest bit anxious, I took a breath and reminded myself again.
**Sometimes you just have to do that. Remind yourself. It's so easy when those moments of
anxiousness creep about, that you need to catch it as soon as possible and drive it away.
After class I stopped in to see my caseworker at unemployment ( he is the one who got me into the Phlebotomy & EKG classes with the state) to pick up a gas check (they help out with the cost my gas to class because I have to drive from Murrells Inlet to Conway for school) I thought the check was only going to be for $16. but it turned out to be for $24. I had a half a tank of gas at the time so I wasnt too concerned. But, then on the way home I saw that the gas was down to $2.97 a gal, WHOA! So, I thought even though I still have half a tank, I'm filling up. Well, the car took $26 so my tank is full and it only cost me $2. Then when I got home, Art had gotten a special invitation ( I think because of working for the State Park, to go to Pirates Voyage for 2 for Free, It's like $52 for 2 people, includes the show and dinner, I've heard it's really cool. So, he called and made our reservations for Nov 11- Totally looking forward to that.
Then I called in my unemployment claim for the week and found out that they had put $64. in my acct. yippee, It's not much but it beats a stick in the eye, or an empty acct. So, that was a totally pleasant suprise.
So, all in all a very good day. :o)
Now, I have an interview tomorrow at Ross' at 4pm, I don't know how that will go. I would love to apply for some of the nanny jobs that are around here, having my CPR and medical background would help me I'm sure. But, I have one draw back, No backseat. When we moved out here, we needed extra room for packing and Art decided to just leave the backseat behind. I can't transport a child in the jeep without a backseat. I can't afford to get another vehicle because I don't have a steady job. Huh, sounds like a big circle to me!
** On a different note, I think I have found my new dream car.....Fiat 500 Pop !
It is soooo cool, let me tell you. Seats 4, cruise control, can't decide which one I like best the Azzuro Blue or the Rosso (Red), the Rame (Copper) or the Verde Olive (Olive Green). The Verde Chiaro ( Light Green) is nice too. Was thinking I wanted a Blue Car next but, The Red would look so cool with some black spots, just like a little Lady Bug. They make really cool eyelashes you can get for cars now. I know, I'm being a big baby but, how many more new cars are in the plans for the rest of my life?
I feel so bad, right at the moment, just found out that in the middle of my really good day, a dear friend just had a really crappy one....she got laid off at work. She's been there for almost a year and a half. So, Mr. Obama the unemployment rate is down you say. Well, we're not feeling it.
She will be on unemployment for a bit like me. She will also be in my prayers.
***Hey, for anyone who doesn't know it yet, and for those who do, I want to remind you.....I am always available for Prayer Requests. I am a Prayer Warrior and I will be there when and/or if you ever need me. ***

Change Can Be A Good Thing....
I have been doing some soul searching this past week. Since I've been laid off of work, I have time to do that now. Well, I have come to some conclusions. I really miss studying my Christian Counseling. I feel like it's really calling me back to it. Also, that although I am not big on change, change is inevitable. Change can be good, if we embrass it.
I went through a number of changes in my life over the past four years - everything from quitting smoking to divorce to a new & wonderful relationship with an amazing man to going back to school as well as moving all the way across the country, leaving my entire family behind. All of this for someone who doesn't handle change well.
But, change can be a good thing, as all of the above have been. I can't at this point imagine my life without these changes having occurred. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Are their people I miss? Absolutely! I had never been away from my mom for more than a month or so in my whole life. We are very close and know what the other is thinking or going to say all the time. I wasn't sure how I would handle being apart for so long, but it has gone pretty well. I miss my grandchildren, they were my heart and soul. Not that they still aren't but, I have other parts of my life that are important to care about as well, when before it was All about them. Going back to school again at 50 was a little daunting, but I have done well. Not that some of it hasn't been difficult, but it has been worth it. I don't want to even try to think of what my life would be like right now, had I never met this incredible man. He is my life and breath, he is my night and day. Every day I think about how lucky I am that he came into my life.
So, even though I don't like change. Most people don't. It has been a good thing.
We need to remember that without change there can be no growth. We should always strive to see where change will put us at the end of it all. There is so much sadness in the world, so much hurt, so much poverty. Because we live in such a big world, we must look at how we change the world around us. We are just individuals but if we all make an attempt to change what we can, and others attempt to make the changes that they can - then we can and will make a difference. We don't need a president to make things change for us. We need to stand on our own two feet and stand up for what is right and good. We need to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. We need to take on the bullies and the bigots and say "Enough! We aren't going to let you push people around anymore!"
We should constantly be looking around us to see where we can be a part of the solution not a part of the problem. We need to stop thinking about whats good for me but whats good for us. (If you look at the way society is right now, and the teens who are getting into trouble, it's all because they are looking out for me not for us. They believe that they are entitled, we need to stop raising children to believe this. To let them know it's not right.)
When I say we, I mean the royal we, as in me. I know that there are times when I can change someone elses day, just by holding the door for them. I know that it sounds funny. It's such a simple thing. But, it's true. Someone who has been running around like a crazy person, trying to get a billion things done and feels like they are never going to catch a break and then...someone holds the door for them. Sometimes you can even see it in their faces, just a little tiny bit of relief, that someone cared for just one second.
If you are feeling as though you just have too much on your plate.
If you are feeling like the world is just passing you by.
If you are feeling as though there isn't a single person out there that cares about how you feel.
If you feel that God has given you more than you can handle.
Don't give up!!! If you've come to the end of your rope, Tie a knot and hold on!
I know you just might think that I'm crazy when I tell you this, but think what you will. Unless you try it, you will never know.
When you are feeling this way....do something nice for someone.
Yep, thats it. Do something for someone else. Because when we start feeling this way. We are focusing on ourselves. We are focusing on how we don't have what we want or we have too many struggles to deal with. But, everyone has struggles, lots of people actually DONT have what they need ( notice I didnt say want). We need to remember that we are each little fish in a great big pond and if we don't look out for each other, a bigger fish is going to come along and eat us up. Ever wonder why fish swim in schools?????? One fish senses danger and they all turn and swim away. We need to remember this so that we don't fall into the pit of self-pity. I know that it's hard. I know that we can be brought right to our knees sometimes, by all the things that are going on in our lives. But, it is then that we must fight to be weak. Yes, WEAK. Weak enough to bring our focus back to where it should be. Weak and humble enough to say "God help me, I can't do this alone, I need Your help." As we remember that we should have our focus in a different direction, things will start to change. Not over night maybe. But, a little at a time, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You will see that you have something to offer and that you can make a difference in the world around you. Then someone else will see this and realize that maybe they need to make some changes as well. And so on and so on. That is how change happens. That is how change can be good.
We don't have to like change but we do need to allow it to happen; to us and thru us.
Today, think of something that you can do to make a change. It can be in your life, in your spiritual life, in the life of someone around you (whether you know them or not). Do something to take that first step toward change. I'm going to be doing that right along with you. Together, we can change the world.

Today is September 29, 2012
It has been awhile since I've written here in my blog. I have been working and going to school. I graduated and am now a Certified Phlebotomist. I am still however attending school to get Certified as an EKG Technician. I had put my Counseling studies on hold for awhile, as I felt that I was not emotionally or spiritually in the right place for those studies. I have recently been thinking about returning to those studies. I feel a longing within my heart and soul to delve into the wonder and awe that go along with such studies. It always seems to enrich my quiet times with the Lord and allows me to see where my own life benefits with a more intense purpose.
As you can tell by todays date, that it is getting close to Election Day....
Are you going to vote? Who are you going to vote for? Why are you going to vote for this candidate? Are you prepared for what the future may hold after the election?
I will answer those questions myself......
Yes, I'm going to vote. I am voting against Obama. I am voting for this candidate because, unfortunately he is the lesser of two evils. I am as prepared for the aftermath but only to a point. Since, it remains to be seen who will win the election, I have tried to look at the possiblities for the future. I have to admit that it scares the hell out of me.
I love this country! I think back to growing up in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave! The America that I have always been proud to say was my home. The place that immigrants wanted to come to from across the sea. Those yearning to come to a place where they were free to become whatever they chose to become with hard work and determination. Those immigrants who were willing to learn how to speak english and to learn about our history in order to become a citizen.
But, there is something that has changed that America, into one that does not care who comes to our country, nor how they get here. One that thinks it's more important to be "politically correct" than to deal with the issues at hand. It doesn't matter if it is the way something should be done if (oh my goodness) someones feelings might get hurt. An America where people want so badly to prove that they are not bigoted that they will vote for a man simply because he is black. An America that impeaches a president but never makes him leave office. An America where the president is more worried about how he looks to the public then whether he can take time out of his campaign to attend summits and meetings with world leaders. A president who is more likely to be found rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous than to get down to business and fix the problems our country is dealing with. An America that allows her president to act against his own countries interests to further his own cause.
I want my counrty back, I want the country of my forefathers! I want my children and my grandchildren to grow up having the ability to strive to become whatever they want to become. Where they can own their own business and be productive members of society. I want the American Dream for them. Not Obama's dream. Dreams from my father, his books title. Hmmm, should have been a red flag there, don't you think. His fathers dream was a socialist country. And yes, he has made it his mission to carry out his fathers dream.
I pray for the heart and soul of this country. I pray for each of us living in this country. I pray that peoples eyes will be opened before they step up to the poll to vote. That they might look with clear eyes and a heart that is full of love for this country. That they might see how the future will look if this man is allowed to remain in office. If we don't do something to change it, the future will be grim. I see us in a great depression, the likes of which we have never known. It will not be like the depression of our grandparents time. This one will be much worse and there may be no way to get back out.
I know that there are those out among you, who will call me an idiot and say that I have no idea what I am talking about. That I am a republican who just wants everything my way and who is all about the money. Well, you may call me what you will. You can say that I don't know. But, I have done my homework. I have studied the speeches and the actions, (including body language and handwriting analysis). I have come to my own conclusion, no one put a gun to my head and told me I had to believe and vote this way. (although, if things go on, that could be a possiblity in the future).
I CAN NOT vote for OR respect a man who is (lets face it) handed a gift of presidency and squanders it frivolously and with reckless abandon, dragging his country into debt (helping NO ONE), giving to those he deems worthy (black farmers, banks, auto industry, green industries) only to have them all continue to waste money or go broke. A man who has had marxist associates as far back as you can look. A man who blamed everyone around him for things that go wrong but has NEVER taken responsibilty for what he has done. Even when he says, I take full responsiblity for ???, he follows that with a giant BUT. Whenever you follow with a BUT it is not an apology, it is not accepting responsiblity.
Each of you must make your own decisions on who to vote for, That is just one of the things that has made us a great nation.....but, I pray for us all. I pray that the right person is put into office, regardless of how you vote. I pray that God will be in control. Because if not, I don't want to be an american anymore. But, I guess that would be ok, because it won't be too long before it's not called America anymore, I imagine it will be called something more like Obamaca or Obamaland. Where we will be expected to relinquish our religion for muslim beliefs and share equally in our healthcare and our resources with other countries. (I mean we see how well it all works for them, right?) That no one will be an independant business owner, why would you want to be anyway, since everything you make will be taken up in taxes or divided among the people because it's better for us.
So, I'm sure that I've pissed off somebody by now, but it needed to be said. If you would like to discuss any of the things that I have written here, feel free to email me and we can do just that. I will tell you now that if you want to debate, better get your facts straight because I will call you out on them. The facts are there you just have to look at them. Not let the illusion that the president has put before you blind you.
P.S. You may have noticed that I have no where placed the word president in capital letters, I remain of the belief that I did not vote Obama into office and he is not my president, he is however, the president. I do not feel that it is necessary to show respect for a president who has no respect for the people who elected him nor his country.
It has been awhile since I've written here in my blog. I have been working and going to school. I graduated and am now a Certified Phlebotomist. I am still however attending school to get Certified as an EKG Technician.

I will answer those questions myself......
Yes, I'm going to vote. I am voting against Obama. I am voting for this candidate because, unfortunately he is the lesser of two evils. I am as prepared for the aftermath but only to a point. Since, it remains to be seen who will win the election, I have tried to look at the possiblities for the future. I have to admit that it scares the hell out of me.
I love this country! I think back to growing up in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave! The America that I have always been proud to say was my home. The place that immigrants wanted to come to from across the sea. Those yearning to come to a place where they were free to become whatever they chose to become with hard work and determination. Those immigrants who were willing to learn how to speak english and to learn about our history in order to become a citizen.
But, there is something that has changed that America, into one that does not care who comes to our country, nor how they get here. One that thinks it's more important to be "politically correct" than to deal with the issues at hand. It doesn't matter if it is the way something should be done if (oh my goodness) someones feelings might get hurt. An America where people want so badly to prove that they are not bigoted that they will vote for a man simply because he is black. An America that impeaches a president but never makes him leave office. An America where the president is more worried about how he looks to the public then whether he can take time out of his campaign to attend summits and meetings with world leaders. A president who is more likely to be found rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous than to get down to business and fix the problems our country is dealing with. An America that allows her president to act against his own countries interests to further his own cause.
I want my counrty back, I want the country of my forefathers! I want my children and my grandchildren to grow up having the ability to strive to become whatever they want to become. Where they can own their own business and be productive members of society. I want the American Dream for them. Not Obama's dream. Dreams from my father, his books title. Hmmm, should have been a red flag there, don't you think. His fathers dream was a socialist country. And yes, he has made it his mission to carry out his fathers dream.
I pray for the heart and soul of this country. I pray for each of us living in this country. I pray that peoples eyes will be opened before they step up to the poll to vote. That they might look with clear eyes and a heart that is full of love for this country. That they might see how the future will look if this man is allowed to remain in office. If we don't do something to change it, the future will be grim. I see us in a great depression, the likes of which we have never known. It will not be like the depression of our grandparents time. This one will be much worse and there may be no way to get back out.
I know that there are those out among you, who will call me an idiot and say that I have no idea what I am talking about. That I am a republican who just wants everything my way and who is all about the money. Well, you may call me what you will. You can say that I don't know. But, I have done my homework. I have studied the speeches and the actions, (including body language and handwriting analysis). I have come to my own conclusion, no one put a gun to my head and told me I had to believe and vote this way. (although, if things go on, that could be a possiblity in the future).
I CAN NOT vote for OR respect a man who is (lets face it) handed a gift of presidency and squanders it frivolously and with reckless abandon, dragging his country into debt (helping NO ONE), giving to those he deems worthy (black farmers, banks, auto industry, green industries) only to have them all continue to waste money or go broke. A man who has had marxist associates as far back as you can look. A man who blamed everyone around him for things that go wrong but has NEVER taken responsibilty for what he has done. Even when he says, I take full responsiblity for ???, he follows that with a giant BUT. Whenever you follow with a BUT it is not an apology, it is not accepting responsiblity.
Each of you must make your own decisions on who to vote for, That is just one of the things that has made us a great nation.....but, I pray for us all. I pray that the right person is put into office, regardless of how you vote. I pray that God will be in control. Because if not, I don't want to be an american anymore. But, I guess that would be ok, because it won't be too long before it's not called America anymore, I imagine it will be called something more like Obamaca or Obamaland. Where we will be expected to relinquish our religion for muslim beliefs and share equally in our healthcare and our resources with other countries. (I mean we see how well it all works for them, right?) That no one will be an independant business owner, why would you want to be anyway, since everything you make will be taken up in taxes or divided among the people because it's better for us.
So, I'm sure that I've pissed off somebody by now, but it needed to be said. If you would like to discuss any of the things that I have written here, feel free to email me and we can do just that. I will tell you now that if you want to debate, better get your facts straight because I will call you out on them. The facts are there you just have to look at them. Not let the illusion that the president has put before you blind you.
P.S. You may have noticed that I have no where placed the word president in capital letters, I remain of the belief that I did not vote Obama into office and he is not my president, he is however, the president. I do not feel that it is necessary to show respect for a president who has no respect for the people who elected him nor his country.
