Song of the week

Pouring from my heart

Ever just sat back a realized how thankful you are for life. Thankful for a 180degree change. Thankful for who you used to be & who you are now. Thankful for peace, knowledge & understanding. Thankful for your guardian angels. Thankful for protection. Thankful for God seeing you through all your "mistakes". Thankful for the happenings of the past. Thankful for your visions. Thankful for family & great/real friends. Thankful for unconditional love. Thankful Jesus coming to save us from the misery of sins. Thankful for the ability to move around, blink your eyes & breathe. Thankful for the food you eat, clothes you wear & shelter over your head at night. Thankful for technology. Thankful academia. Thankful for emotions & feelings. Thankful for opportunity. Thankful for the ability to recognize your faults & change. Thankful for God allowing you to see a new day each & every day.

I'm just soooo thankful & I continuously strive to take nothing for granted & count it all joy & blessings.

Powerful statement

Now, I propose the challenge to enhance our prayer lives. That is my new mission/goal/focus. It's all about praising Him in advance!

Split seconds

"Our live is like a vapor", said my good friend Mirra, who frequently keeps me partially sane these days.

I received some terrible news today about a young lady I literally grew up with. She was the sweetest person I've ever encountered, always smiling and never a rude person to her friends nor anyone I can name. She was a very active student while attending UWG & recently gotten a teaching job which is an amazing accomplishment during these tough economic times.

Well some stories aren't always like Disney (with a happy ending). Long story short, UWG had homecoming & she come to celebrate with old friends, was drinking, driving, hit & killed a young guy driving a motorcycle. She was charged with DUI, failure to yield & vehicular homicide according to the AJC .

When I  first heard the story I didn't think it was the girl I knew I just though it was someone else who had the same name, but sure enough I found out it was my childhood friend. The situation is soooooooo sad (for all parties involved). I'm still in shock at the details of the accident.

We MUST remain prayerful! We MUST think about our actions prior to doing somethings! Most importantly we CANNOT take life for granted!

I pray for Faith, her family & friends. I pray for the victim's family & friends. I pray for mercy to be on both parties involved. I pray that God's glory shines in the mist of all of this madness.

Emotional roller-coaster

Ever felt like your release was somewhere far away from home?

I came back from vacation today and once I realized I was going back home I had an emotional breakdown. Nothing wrong with my house or my family, but just all the things going on in my life right now played in my mind as I drove closer & closer to the house. I honestly feel like had I of vacationed for at least one more week I would be at peace right now. It's like I'm fighting to get off of this emotional roller-coaster & the ride will not stop!

Ever felt like you were stuck in a situation all by yourself & no one can relate to you to help you get through? Yep, that's me right now.
