Great News for my Vs and Cs For all of the people who believe in waiting till their married and are actively pursing this way of life (meaning the virgins and celibates) I got words of encouragement for ya!! Rebecca St. James author and singer of the encouraging song Wait for Me has announced her engagement which happened over the holidays. "I'm ENGAGED!! The man I have waited for, the man of my dreams, Jacob, is now my fiancee! We'd love your prayers as we plan and dream and prepare! We are completely thrilled." -Rebecca St. James "(Nashville, Tennessee) January 3, 2011 – One of Christian music’s most recognized and beloved artists is opening the New Year with an exciting announcement: Rebecca St. James is engaged to be married! St. James will wed the man she’s been waiting for – Jacob Fink — on a date soon to be announced. The Christmas Day proposal came at Rebecca’s family farm in Franklin, Tennessee where...

A while ago my friend and I were talking about the scenario of "if we had the chance to go back and do life over". We both said we would not take that opportunity. As much as we don't like the mistakes in our lives they've taught us and shaped us. And if we did go back who knows what blessings we received the first time would not be available the second. As much as I'd like to change some mistakes I'm glad God doesn't give us that option. We'd all like to stop terrible things from happening but then we'd probably live in a perfect world. Although that sounds like a good idea at the moment it's not because we're still human. We need pain so that we learn from our mistakes and mature. Even bad things can shape us into better people. I'd lose pain and with that valuable lessons. Lesson that bettered me and shaped my character. I'd lose compassion, empathy and my ability to teach others through life example. I'd lose my desire t...

Recently I watched According to Greta for the first time. It's about a suicidal teen sent to live with her grandparents for the summer because her mom can't deal with her any longer. A particular part regarding the value of life triggered a 10 year old memory. The grandma's reasoning as to why she wouldn't want to go back to her youthful years were the same reasons I talked myself out of committing suicide at 10 or 13. I still remember sitting on the kitchen floor with a knife in hand trying to figure out how to end my life. I was only scared of pain.  I can't remember what specific events lead me to that cold floor but I wasn't happy, I was miserable. As I was sitting there debating whether I should follow through or not the cons and pros were being listed. Pro: I wouldn't have to deal with this anymore.  Sad, well maybe not sad, thing was that was the only pro I could list. The cons heavily out weighed it. Con: 1. It would hurt 2. I'd have to ...

"Love it or Leave it" is a new review segment I'm starting on here. Today it's about films the next could be about albums, clothes or anything. Instead of using stars to rate I give ♥ (hearts) meaning I love it and to represent leave it I chose this symbol: ☞ (pointing hand). I hope you enjoy this blog and this segment. Hopefully I'll be back with more. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader I really loved it even though I was going deaf in the theater. They need to work on the sound level.  Spoiler Alert (I gave up on this one) Sticking to the Christian theme of the Chronicles of Narnia books fighting temptations was one of the main themes in this film. Edmund Pevensie's temptation was one of wanting to be respected as a man and king in charge and not subjected to anyone. We've all been there so that was a very good way to relate his character to the audience.  Lucy Pevensie wants to be beautiful - as beautiful as her sister, Su...

I had a dream last night. In my dream I saw my future spouse with someone else. They couldn't hear me nor see me but I could hear and see them. My heart broke as I looked on to see them together. My place was being occupied by someone else and the heart and body I'm to receive in marriage was being given to another. These are the words my heart screamed in protest as it was breaking. "Wait for me. Be patient and you won't get your heart broken by the  people who don't love you like I do. What are you doing with them? That's my spot that you're giving away. That's my bed where I'm suppose to lay." "Who is this? A momentary satisfaction? What about me? Aren't I worth the wait? Right now all that matters to you is immediate gratification." "I'll love you forever baby. You won't have to worry about STDs or pregnancy with me because you'll know me and want to have a kid by me." My voice is going on deaf ear...

This is my first food blog. I love making things with my hands and that includes cooking and baking. I was able to make a pie recently and unlike the other times I finally stopped being lazy and took my cam with me to document this fiasco. lol This time I made a Banana Pudding pie following the directions for the pudding off of the box of Jello pudding. I made the crust following Marg (CaymanDesigns) 's " Basic Graham Cracker Crust ". I have a hard time sticking to rules so I follow the "guidelines" in cooking. If it turns out bad that's my fault. :D The pudding's already made with only 2 cups of milk to thicken it. The following ingredients make the crust: Ooops I forgot to take a pic of the butter. oh well. At least you know it's in there now. lol Anyways I didn't have enough white sugar so I ended up using dark brown sugar for the rest of the sugary ingredients. The crust mix looked like this: Next I scooped the mix into a silver p...
