well, thank you all for your heartfelt prayers. God had another plan and took him home. he was disconnected from life supports about an hour or so ago. we are just waiting for the rest of our family to arrive here. at least we know he was right with God and is on the other side of Heaven in a perfect body with no kidney failures, no brain hemmorages, and no pain. we have yet to tell his kids..pray about that. his daughter may be the one to take it the worst. she is only 3 and she made valentines for him last night thinking she would see him soon. thanx again

PRAYER NEEDED!!!
i just got a message that my sister in law’s fiance is in stable but critical condition. his name is milo. he is having kidney failure and has had 2 strokes since this morning. they have said that he is brain dead and have just done a catscan to see if he is responding at all. he was bleeding from his head this morning which is why they took him in to the hospital. my SIL is just crying and crying. she is having a very hard time with this. they are supposed to be married in early april. please please send up a sincere prayer for miraculous healing right now in the name of Jesus so he will come out of this and be better than normal! thank you.
argh!
after all that hemming and hawing about my hair getting colored, i go and take 20 minutes to find the perfect color. then i go and get my hair colored CINNAMON and guess what color it came out?
THE SAME FREAKING COLOR IT WAS BEFORE!!!!!
you can barely see that i paid $6 to get some nice reddish tone to my hair. but dang does it look good! i will dye it just for the shine and moisture it adds to my hair!!!
so im writing to the company so they can put a label on their products saying that they may not work well for nearly black colored hair unless you bleach it first!!!
hey at least it looks better than it has in ages.
woowhoo!!
looks like it’s back to school for me
i haven’t been to school since 1999-2000 and it looks like i will be able to go back next year and finish my degree at stockton. i had been thinking about it and now i have the means to do it and get the baby taken care of while i’m in classes. makes my mom happy, too. i’m not so sure i’m ready to go back really, but i am contacting my old profs and seeing how the land lays for me to jump back in the saddle so to speak. i have a few ideas as to what i would like to do with said degree as well. i am thinking of school counselor, school teacher (although i would rather not, no offense to any of my many school teacher friends), or something more along the lines of web publishing/editing type stuff. i am kinda apprehensive about the whole thing though. i feel ashamed for leaving and i feel like i’m coming back with “my tail between my legs”. i don’t want ppl to look down on me ykwim? i dunno. i just … i just want to feel like going back isn’t stepping back i guess.

i usually save this stuff for my other journal but…
today i feel overly compelled to tell everyone that time is growing short. the days are getting shorter and shorter. time is winding up on us. there is not going to be much more chance to decide. Jesus Christ died for our sins and we can only come to the Father God through Him…
ye must be BORN AGAIN !
repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!!
you see, i have been living a testimony for all to see. my whole life up till now is a testimony as to the saving power and grace of Almighty God. i have been kicked, beaten, battered, bruised, raped, shamed, engaged, molested, bisexualized, forgotten, used, humiliated, deceived, betrayed, diseased, suicidal, sodomized, brutalized, tricked, prostituted, and even drank, smoked and dealt the drugs that kill us from the inside out. then finally i had a meeting with the Creator of heaven and earth. my life was changed, turned upside down, and the effects are still flowing. even though i complain here about the things going wrong in my life, you have to understand that’s just life. we are not to be surprised by trials in this life. even Jesus went through this. we are parti
cipating in the suffering of Christ. through the trials we are to become stronger and overcome them for He has already overcome the world. the things in my life that annoy me now are NOTHING especially compared to what was going on before Christ saved me and changed me.
i dont have to sell my body or put up with being hurt by people who dont care about me. i dont have to worry about getting a disease or becoming pregnant and having nothing to give. i dont have to sleep with women to find the emotional support that i wasnt finding with a man. i dont have to sit in fear of another person coming to me to violate my body. i dont have to worry about drinking myself into oblivion or smoking my brain out of my ears just to forget the turmoil i am in. i dont have to run from the cops because i am carrying illegal substances nor do i need to sell it to get my next fix. i am no longer living in fear. i no longer pray to die or long for days gone past when i shouldve wouldve couldve but didnt. God has given me a new life. a life filled with purpose.
i have a beautiful family, my singing voice is back and better than ever, my mind is clear, my memory is coming back to me, i have passion and desire for life and living it, and best of all i have a heavenly Father who takes care of all my needs.
God is all we ever need. He is the one who will take away our addictions, our vices, our mental illnesses, and even our physical illnesses. He takes away our burdens, pains, and worries. we just need to trust Him. give our lives to Him .. surrender it all and just watch God work!
for those of you who dont know, i used to rap and sing for the world. now i only do it to please my Savior. i am a youth minister with a main passion for young girls. my goal is to see them do better than i did and to find Christ early on so they never have to deal with everything that i went through or worse. i love God and what i have seen Him do.
i myself have been healed of bisexuality, HPV, alcoholism, and marijuana addiction. whenever it seems we dont have enough we always end up with more than enough. my child is a miracle especially with the circumstances that surround his birth.
He has been sending wake up calls for everyone. just look at the news. just in my life alone, i have had a 16 year old friend die in a car accident just because she just had to sneak out and see her boyfriend. on the way back she slams into a pole because she fell asleep behind the wheel and was killed instantly. my cousin just eloped at the beginning of the year and her husband just died last week. a friend of mine was at a crossroads with God, trying to decide whether or not to give her heart fully to Him. she and her friend were driving home and hit black ice. the car flipped 4 times and they had to get the jaws of life to get her friend out of the car. how is she? thankful. they ended up with not even a scratch after all that. she got out of the car and gave her heart to God. my friend died of cancer at age 40. my cousin died in an accident at his job when boards fell on his head. my friend died after calling his wife and saying he would be home soon. on his way there he hit the back of a tractor trailer with his motorcycle and was killed. he was only in his mid 30′s.
i say all this to say, time is of the essence. today is your day of decision!
wouldnt it be terrible to wake up one day and find out that He is real and you missed the call???
part of a song i wrote (c 2002)
says exactly how i feel today:
depressed and distressed
gotta get my mind out this mess
seems like the more sin confessed
the harder becomes my test
and i want to take heed
to the voice calling me
so i can be set free
and be what HE wants me to be
but my mind seems to reel
cant get over how i feel
and i cant keep this up
feeling like my life is corrupt
o Lord help me
i cant seem to get out of this place
just tryin to keep up in the race
i cant seem to get under control
my heart is willing
my spirit says yes my flesh says no
///end song///
i have been through more turmoil these past few months than i would ever care to even mention. i just want it all to be over so we can get back to normal happy life… im still awake and so is my kid. he took a late nap AGAIN and we are going to be up till 3am AGAIN. i had no nap today so im pretty much screwed right now. i have been writing a lot of friends only posts lately but life has been like that recently. we want to buy a house so we are trying to save for the down payment and
we are praying that income tax gives us enough to start looking for real. i think i will also be getting a brand new guitar soon…a nice one and a gig bag or a case. i can hardly wait. my dangfired e string broke yesterday and i have no extra strings. i was gonna “borrow” my hubby’s string but he caught me in the act :O so he said he was gonna buy me all new strings and then i said i wanted a new ‘tar so he is considering it. i need a new ‘tar and a tuner. that is one up side to my life right now. that and im trying to get back in the mix with God cuz i’ve been such a slacker lately. you can read about that in my other journal if you want to.
i went on aol im last night and saw a name i thought was my baby sis. since she has like 10 names, i cant keep up. so i say something to the effect of: it’s kinda late for you to be on dont you have school tomorrow. i dont identify myself cuz i think of course that its my sis. the answer i get is something to the effect of : who is this? i obviously dont and id yourself jerk! come to find out its NOT my sis it’s my buddy !!! what a misunderstanding!!! anyway so we talked till her parents came home and of course all was forgiven. we got to talk for a bit about movies and stuff. HI LB
anywho…
i guess that’s all for now. love ya’ll!!!
hmmm
Question: Is it safe to give my toddler soy milk if she won’t drink cows’ milk? *babycenter.com*
Answer: Yes, soy milk is a good alternative for children over a year old who don’t like or are allergic to cows’ milk. Soy milk comes in different flavors (you can add your own flavors if you like), and it’s perfectly safe to give those to your child. Soy is also a good source of protein.
