my dream career...

Theres many things of which I LOVE to do more than anything BUT theres many that do much better at it. Such as..drawing,singing,acting,photography, etc. Then! theres so many things that I THINK I would LOVE but never done them yet play drums,violin,e.guitar (or bass),piano, have my own singing group(I've sung with but never my own), reading and defining egyptian calligraphy, etc. THEN...theres this thing that I know I've waited too long to persue or I just know truthfully I struggled with high school and couldn't go higher BUT still regret not doing it and its criminal justice. Just the thrill and joy I get of noticing things about people...just small BUT could be important things. I wish that I could be a successful mystery solving writer if not a detective but in that ...I am aweful with spelling and punctuation. To be the first time you meet someone and already notice...they have a pet,ate bacon for supper, keeps a tight schedule or moves on the go, etc. ..its just so much fun. Sherlock Holmes, Jessica(Murder she wrote), House, and so many others are many that I just adore to consume time watching. If only career paths were easy and FREE..my choice could be made. :)

Bitterness

I saw this picture with these words online this week and thought that it made perfect sense. So many times we think that we've left those old things in our past but thats just what the devil wants us to think..we really know we haven't. We never REALLY let them go.We placed them back in a corner of our mind so we can bring them back up anytime we want to try to "make a point", get pity, or just because we think we can't get past them. The truth with that is that all we're doing it setting up a perfect place for a root of bitterness.There is nothing too big for our God. And we can't do this alone. Let go and let God!

Ephesians 4:30-32
King James Version (KJV)
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

In the end, it was worth the hard work.



I'm lovin' the new job! Staying with my grandma....quality time, cleaning, cooking, and just things that I as a woman love to do anyway.


Also, this link will give you details on the plot for the new play I'm in. It will be in downtown New Albany at the Cine. November 10,11,12 probably at 7 but closer to time you will start seeing posters. Its alot of work especially for director, John Peter, but it will be great. Its a good family or date night..hope to see everyone there!

busy, busy week.graduation! Bday party! and more.

Thursday night...Joel graduating Nursing school!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Its been SO hard for us and will be awhile before we can get on our feet BUT we did it! I always knew it was gonna' be hard with me doing most all of the income but I truly didn't have a clue. God sure has brought us thru'....we only could have with him. Joel still has to take his boards sometime in June and if he passes fine then he can get a job as an RN. As I go thru and look at our endless debt we've accumulated over the past three years, I can easily get discouraged. But I know you can only take one day at a time. Just continue to pray that he passes and finds a job fast.......This other pic. is my step-grandmother's 90 year old bday party! She is such a sweet lady and this is just some of the grandkids...some were outside,lol. This family is so blessed with people! She birthed 13 kids, I believe and heres some of what came from all of them.

Read this, ...LOVED IT!!
The folded napkin story....
Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linenwrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying to the side.


Was that important? Absolutely!
Is it really significant? Yes!


In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have tounderstand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The foldednapkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew thistradition.
When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.
The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, justout of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.
Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipehis fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up thatnapkin and toss it onto the table.
The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, ‘I’m done’.
But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laidit beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table,because……….
The folded napkin meant, ‘I’m coming back!’
