Are you willing to be lonely, have it all stripped away?
Remain in the fire, day after day?
Be a good neighbor when she spits in your face?
Be proud when they trample on your race?
Would you stay in a friendship when you've been betrayed,
Lied about, gossiped... your trust has been frayed?
Surrender your will; work hard when its hard?
Be uncomfortable, your perfect life's been marred?
When its all planned out and you know where you are going?
God slows you down, blessings stopped flowing?
You sow and you sow, no reaping in sight?
Youre tired, your weak, you've used all your might?
Give, not receive; patience in stress?
Not run away when you're life is a mess?
Stay in a marriage in good times and bad,
In sickness and health, feel used and been had?
If a child has strayed, can you pray without ceasing?
Not take out your anger, frustration unleashing?
Will You look to Him... when He seems far and and not near?
Feel youre forgotten, while you shed all your tears?
Not fall into anxiety in times when peace is far gone?
Continue to worship, praise Him in song?
In times where troubles are many, joy left a long time ago?
You're looking for healing, trust when it's coming too slow?
Stay in His Word, Hold onto His truths?
Not analyze when you're confused?
At times when you doubt; or your life seems cursed?
When you've no money in your purse?
Be an example when you suffer in silence?
Can you stay strong in times of violence?
Forgive in the times they dont apologize?
If a family member has severed all ties?
Are you willing to walk with your head held high?
Look to the Son , when no answers of "why"?
Can you be true to your self in the face of temptation?
Walk away from peer pressure , any sins invitation?
Are you willing to 'be' in the quiet and still?
Stay in the moment when your spirits been killed?
Are you willing to follow whenever He calls?
Widen your territory, break down strong walls?
You are blessed if you are willing; Hes ready to give?
Peace when you find out you're not going to live---
Strength in the Storms, A Boat in the flood
A willing Savior, for you shed His blood ---

Meditation (and rain dance)on the Mount
Well I just want to put it out there...although I dont wanna brag...well maybe a little bit...ok no I don't, Im not that kind of person...ok well maybe I am, but Im not like other people who brag all the time...ok well maybe if I had things to brag about like I have now I would brag all the time...no I wouldnt...yes I would...(please excuse me Im having an inner battle here) Ok I admit it...I want to brag about this because its BIG!
So heres the scenario...Its HOT...remember the other day when it was hot enough you could fry an egg on the sidewalk?? (note to self, try that next time its HOT) well, my body goes insane with the heat...MS and heat do not mix, like oil and water kinda thing. So in all the heat, Im feeling awful, Im full on sick...weak, exhausted, nauseated, in pain (way more than usual), seeing spots that kind of thing which is "normal" for me when it gets hot, which is why I fear summer like a big gargauntan spider on the wall...or a nest of wasps...that kind of fear and then I also have loatheness (is that a word?) you know, loathe, to hate, to not be friends with (boy thats an understatment of the century!) every summer I spend like that, believe me it makes for a great summer!
So anyway, back to the HOT weather...so Im sick in bed watching Price is Right along with my other fav shows...normally at 10AM Im up doing stuff but not when its HOT, but when this hot thing comes on, Im lucky to make it to the bathroom. Im upset wondering 'why me', 'why cant I be like other people' etc etc (you know the whole "woe is me" bit, uh yes I do go there, Im honest enough to admit it :oP ) Then, suddenly, I get this GREAT IDEA (Can you see the light bulb above my head? Well if you dont now, you would have , it was there) this idea is the idea of all ideas...I will do a rain dance/ meditation calling for rain...please rain, please rain! Om...om ...om...om ommmmm. Of course Im telling all who will listen of my plight and sunsequent plan...I get to work busily, doing whatever it takes to get rain...om om om...dance dance (Saturday Night Fever playing in the background)
For the next few days I'm working hard...please rain come, please rain come! Om...Om, Om, Om...dance, dance dance! And then.....I get a call today (Friday) and GUESS WHAT! My friend Kari R tells me its raining! Its actually raining! I have special powers, I can make it rain...yippee! Just look out your window (present time 10:18AM) its downright pouring, and I think we even have hail! When I do a job, I do it right! For those of you who know me, I am a determined person, so if I want rain, I will do whatever needs to be done to make it happen, and thus so it is here. My fav kind of weather...well I do like it colder, but I didnt do a cold dance/meditation..my body has a P-A-R-T-Y when its like this! Not that I always feel great, but I certainly dont have the same symptoms to the extent I do when its hot. So I have to brag, I made it rain! I made it rain! I guess there is something to that "Om" thing (well not really, but I had to throw it in for the laugh factor) I love having special powers!! Anyone have any wishes they would like me to work on? Lottery winners? Have a spouse who leaves the toilet seat up or forgets Valentines Day Have a closet that is too small? (OH wait thats Kari R...Kari R never fear! Your superheor friend is working on your closet issue at this moment)Need your house to sparkle and shine before guests come? Well then apparently Im your girl!
Ok so maybe in all reality I dont have powers...I know God is the only One capable of making rain...but just for a moment (and anytime I want to dream) it was absolutely fantastic to think that I could actually make it RAIN! To look out the window, and know all the hard work I had been doing, and to see the fruit of that labor, was quite frankly like bringing new life into the world (ok well Im being a bit dramatic, but go with me here, please) I give all the glory and credit to God the Most High,for He is good...but just for a moment in time, it was nice to think I was a superhero and could make things happen...I had plans...like to make the streets lined with chocolate, and the trees to be cotton candy with money hanging on them like Christmas ornaments, for the next rain to rain jelly beans (jelly belly jelly beans, I only make the best) and wheels on cars to be chocolate chip cookies, and for there to be no taxes yet we get humongous tax refunds and that bills could be paid when you can, no due dates (wouldnt that be lovely?!) oh and the more candy you ate the more weight you lost! Golly jeepers, what else could I drum up???...oh I know...my kids would never talk back to me and would clean up after themselves and offer to do things to help...now that would be awesome! Only Jesus can walk on water, but boy would I love to be able to do that! Any ideas guys? Well, so my dream of being a superhero is now over, at least for the moment...Im thinking of making God a deal that if He lets me be a superhero, I promise to be good, read my bible faithfully, love others unconditionally, be slow to anger and quick to forgive...etc etc you know all the stuff we are supposed to do that we dont always do, hence thank you for your grace, Lord!
The rain has now stopped, my dreams have now been crushed....but there has to be a way that I can be a superero 24/7...I mean who wouldnt want cotton candy money trees humongous tax checks? Ive got a closet to work on that I can in no way make happen without special powers (shhhh dont tell Kari R pls!) Maybe if I make a cape, the powers will be here to stay...so the next time you see me, if Im wearing the cape...your wish is my command...if you need to be saved from a burning building, your kids are giving you attitude, or you dream of world peace, Im your girl! Im off to save the world!Anyone want snow made of marshmallow? If so, someone needs to bring the graham crackers and Hershey bars for a s'more party of all s'more parties....I cant do everything ...Im only a superhero ya know! Im off to save the world...Ta Ta!

Out in Space...I mean My Space
So I have finally figured out the craze with my daughter and millions of people...I finally decided to create a myspace! After getting some tips from my oldest sons girlfriend (I cant beleive he has a girlfriend but thats a future blog...one I will address soon) well actually she did everything to set it up, I mererly gave her a name (user) and pw. I was exhausted by the end of that. I wanted to see what my daughter was doing all the times when I would say "Kayla, can you do such and such?" or "Kayla, did you hear me?" (when I was being full on ignored) and now I kinda know. MY biggest reason for doing one was I figured it was a good way to keep in contact with my sons girlfriend (make sure they were staying out of trouble...I mean seeing hows shes doing) and I talk to several of Kaylas friends who freqent my house and call me "Mom". Its served those purposes well. I also "talk" back and forth with my sis in law which is nice and I can view pics of my neice and put up pics of my kids and my other "babies", my animals. Now you might say "Why dont you just email back and forth?" However for some reason, emailing regular for whatever reason does not attract teens...who knows why?
I like the creative side of it...like a blog (but alot more options) you can pick a layout, music, banners, all sorts of designs,pictures,videos etc etc. Your only limit is your imagnation. So it has taken part of my time away from here (you can blog there as well, which I have) but my loyalty is my blog (at least for now. So if you ever need to find me, just check and see if Im in "My Space" (which I love by the way because its another secret place where its all about me)Who knows, maybe you will decide to come hang out in My Space and make it Your Space too :0P
