Family..Two kinds of Family
I love my family. I couldnt have a better one in my opinion. I am blessed to have grown up seeing my mom and dad love each other while doing their best to portray Jesus' love in all they do. They are best friends. I hope to have that one day:-) I have two awesome brothers. We have grown very close in the past 8 years..i think its because we are all older and more mature. We have been able to discuss God in our lives, our views, struggles, beliefs, etc etc...
I have the best aunts and uncles too might I add. Ever since i can remember we have gotten together a handful of times each year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are always my favorites. We used to all get together at my Nana's house..there was much food, love, laughter..and lotsssssssssss of kids..which brings me to my cousins. I am the oldest..the youngest is now 16 months old. Well my Nana passed away 6 years ago..i was worried that our family get togethers would become few and far between..but we have kept the same traditions..the only change is we no longer meet at Nana's house. Christmas is usually at my parents' house and Thanksgiving at my Uncle Rick and Aunt Lynda's house..they live at Lake Norman..its nice:-) AND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is the newest addition to our family..my first ever nephew!!! i am sooooooo head over heels in love with this precious, tiny, innocent baby boy. My dad made a comment, 'its not very often that you get to see innocence." its so true... Trey, this special baby, is brand new to the world. He is dependent on others for everything, eating, being changed, changing his clothes, giving him a bath..and as he grows older, being taught of Jesus and his love, being taught how to talk and to read and to write, how to feed himself, how to ride a bike, play sports, interact with his friends..and on and on..praying and hoping that as he grows up he doesnt learn his ways from the world, but he learns his ways from the Lord Jesus his Savior..my prayer is and will continue to be that Trey will one day experience God calling him to Himself..and that Trey would respond and obey and confess his need for a Savior allowing Jesus to reign in his heart...Its so special to see a baby grow in the womb and all the way up to 9 months as he then experiences his first breath of air in this new world..its amazing..its a miracle..and its full of joy...Im so thankful for Trey.
And now for my other family..my eternal family, my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have in the past couple of years been SO very blessed with fellow believers that i can experience life with, day by day..we live together..we share struggles, we share praises, we share prayers, we share love, we share the Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts ..and what and AMAZING bond this gives us.. we are united in a supernatural way that only God our Creator could ever instill in people. I am so thankful for these friends. God gives us this family to help us through our visit hear on earth..until the day which we are called home to be with him forever.. all of us in this family of Christ have been given a job, a calling, of the highest honor and responsibility. We are allowed to claim Jesus name..to share him with others..to portray him to others in our actions, words, thoughts, desires..etc etc.. what a high calling, to be the hands and feet of the Lord. How awesome that God would choose to use us and allow us to be used in his works. I pray that we would yield to the Holy Spirit in our hearts. that we would be transformed into people that rightly represent Jesus. that we live TRUTH. we let go of our worldly desires and desire Him and Him alone..that we would stay on the narrow path and live in the abundance he desires for us. I pray that we OBEY our heavenly Father. and that we love him and others the way he first loved us. I want to know our Father better. We are fulfilled by the Lord and him alone. How can we be fulfilled if we dont know him. I want to know him so well that my desires become his own. I want to be a woman of prayer. I want to lose my pride. I want so many things in my heart but I know its only through the strength of my Father that i will be able to live a life worthy of his calling. I hope our generation can see past the decoys and distractions of this world. and that we would see with eyes set on eternity. That we would push everything out of the way and only seek our Fathers face. I hope that the world can see Jesus love through us. I hope and pray that we would rightly love each other..with pure love..not selfish love, not expectant love, not forced love, but with love from a pure heart, love with no alterior motives...i pray that we would learn and know Jesus' love. that we would quit trying to do it on our own.but that we would die to ourselves and let him love the world through us. There is sooooooo much 'other' stuff in me that keeps me from allowing the Lord to work through me to the full potential. wrong ways of thinking, worldly desires,selfish desires, laziness, past sin that only the Lord can redeem, selfishness, pride, impatience, etc etc..but how AWESOME that our Lord cares enough to reveal our sins to us so that we can daily give them to him and allow him to change our heart and minds..every day is the day of salvation, every day he redeems us. And thank goodness for the family of believers he gives us to go through this journey with. We are his soldiers. and we need to be fully armed..our culture has so many vices. but in him, we can change the world...

PRAISES, ringtones, and the football season
Im amazed every day at the grace and mercy that is shown to me. I am amazed at how in less than 24 hours God can change my heart and my thoughts to those that will bring more glory to him. He shows me things and allows me do to things that are sooooooooooooo not me..thats why it amazes me.cuz i know its God in me. Kinda crazy but i love it. I pray that i experience this more and more and continue to learn about the divine man that died on the cross for me. And I absolutely cannot wait to meet him!!
With that being said I would love to sing praises to him all day...how great would it be to get some people to play guitar (i cannot) and sit around in the wonderful weather singing whatever songs come to our mind and singing them all to our Savior. those are some of the sweetest times. thanks for musically gifted friends!!
On a whole different note..but still related to music..how about Ginny's new ringback..i still find myself saying ringtone cuz that just sounds better to me..but technically its a ringback..cuz when you call her that is what rings back to you..it goes a lil something like this.."Even thought we ain't got money, Im so in love with ya honeeeyyy.." great song..oldie but goody..
haha who would have thought of the day that when you call someone on the phone you dont hear the typical ring ring but you hear a song..a song of the cell phone owner's choice that is...love it. I dont have a ringback. i used to have a ringtone but my phone was dumb so i got a new one..no new ringtone for me yet..pros and cons. pros for ringtones: you hear them when someone calls you. pros for ringbacks: the person calling you hears a song when they call you and you might pick up and catch them in the middle of singing a very off key note. cons of ringtones: the person calling you just hears the same dull ring ring ring. Cons of ringbacks: you dont get to hear a song when someone calls you.
ok and last but not least is the fact that it is football season!!!! The kickoff game for this college football season was last thursday!! Teran, JJ, Courtney, Me, Mike, Chris, and some other friends all went to Playmakers..man was that place packed out! it was so awesome..everyone was pumped and engergetic. the only negative was the parking..i parked in a half ditch by the railroad track.. it was a great time with friends, food, football. and on the way back to my car, teran and jj (a police man.haha) walked me down the darkened grassy alley beside the rusty old railroad track. i felt more safe. oh and also NCSU lost..the starting quarterback was hurt:-(
This weekend is NCSUs first home game!! im soooo excited! Tay, Ginny and I will be going.we got 3 free tickets and a parking pass..thanks morg!! We will meet up with friends to tailgate then head in to cheer on the pack..oh and we WILL be dressed in our REDS! must support the team colors. I hope the hurricane holds off! if not then i hope the weather sat night still makes for great game weather. Oh how i long to do the NC State fight song again!!! haha Its gonna be great.
So yes you read correct, Tay and Ginny will be here. That makes for an amazing long weekend! the things we must do are go to Cloos, Sushi Blues, the State game, meet up with old friends, and watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, also known as YAYA pants..dont ask..haha . I've heard its not good.but its a must. We saw the first one so we must see this one. Another thing in consideration is a game night! with snacks of course..and maybe some hot cocoa, the homemade kind. Lots of fun things going on.
But in the midst of the fun..God is working in many ways, teaching, challenging, comforting, opening eyes and hearts, taking away pain and fear and anger and bitterness and doubt..and the list goes on. And this is just pure joy, to see him work in the midst of a sinful worldful of sinful people. During this week I have dealt with some hard things that I never expected to occur in my life, but God won. A good friend of mine dealt with a death in her family, but God won. Another amazing man in my life found out he has melanoma, but again God won. A great friend at my church found out her dad has melanmoa but cant get it removed til he has a stint put in his heart, God is winning this battle too. My friend saw a terrible horrific car accident, God won. My friend in Texas is dealing with depression in her friends life, yet again God is winning in this. My brother and his girlfriend have a son together that is to be born Sept 12th and God's amazing love and grace and mercy are taking control in this situation too. Over and over, time and time again, in countless and many diverse ways, ways that we never expect in our lives..God wins these battles in our lives and our hearts. All we have to do is let him fight for us. Thank You Jesus for the hope we have in you!!
Happy weekend as I will not be at work tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
With that being said I would love to sing praises to him all day...how great would it be to get some people to play guitar (i cannot) and sit around in the wonderful weather singing whatever songs come to our mind and singing them all to our Savior. those are some of the sweetest times. thanks for musically gifted friends!!

ok and last but not least is the fact that it is football season!!!! The kickoff game for this college football season was last thursday!! Teran, JJ, Courtney, Me, Mike, Chris, and some other friends all went to Playmakers..man was that place packed out! it was so awesome..everyone was pumped and engergetic. the only negative was the parking..i parked in a half ditch by the railroad track.. it was a great time with friends, food, football. and on the way back to my car, teran and jj (a police man.haha) walked me down the darkened grassy alley beside the rusty old railroad track. i felt more safe. oh and also NCSU lost..the starting quarterback was hurt:-(
This weekend is NCSUs first home game!! im soooo excited! Tay, Ginny and I will be going.we got 3 free tickets and a parking pass..thanks morg!! We will meet up with friends to tailgate then head in to cheer on the pack..oh and we WILL be dressed in our REDS! must support the team colors. I hope the hurricane holds off! if not then i hope the weather sat night still makes for great game weather. Oh how i long to do the NC State fight song again!!! haha Its gonna be great.
So yes you read correct, Tay and Ginny will be here. That makes for an amazing long weekend! the things we must do are go to Cloos, Sushi Blues, the State game, meet up with old friends, and watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, also known as YAYA pants..dont ask..haha . I've heard its not good.but its a must. We saw the first one so we must see this one. Another thing in consideration is a game night! with snacks of course..and maybe some hot cocoa, the homemade kind. Lots of fun things going on.
But in the midst of the fun..God is working in many ways, teaching, challenging, comforting, opening eyes and hearts, taking away pain and fear and anger and bitterness and doubt..and the list goes on. And this is just pure joy, to see him work in the midst of a sinful worldful of sinful people. During this week I have dealt with some hard things that I never expected to occur in my life, but God won. A good friend of mine dealt with a death in her family, but God won. Another amazing man in my life found out he has melanoma, but again God won. A great friend at my church found out her dad has melanmoa but cant get it removed til he has a stint put in his heart, God is winning this battle too. My friend saw a terrible horrific car accident, God won. My friend in Texas is dealing with depression in her friends life, yet again God is winning in this. My brother and his girlfriend have a son together that is to be born Sept 12th and God's amazing love and grace and mercy are taking control in this situation too. Over and over, time and time again, in countless and many diverse ways, ways that we never expect in our lives..God wins these battles in our lives and our hearts. All we have to do is let him fight for us. Thank You Jesus for the hope we have in you!!
Happy weekend as I will not be at work tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
