Listen for me in the background singing "I am so glad that Jesus loves me." That's a great thing to know. Jesus loves me in all my randomness and weirdness. I'm so glad I love Jesus, He's the only one who keeps me sane.

What I've been up to lately

Hey Everybody that reads this...whoever you are....I might just be talking to myself, but thats ok at least I'll remember what I've been doing in my life. Haha!!! So since I posted last it was Christmas time. Wow, it wasn't all that great, but Christmas is all about Jesus and the Hope that His birth represents right? Right! So the Lord has really fantastically blessed our family this year with a home and jobs and all we could ever need...to survive. I have also started college at Central Piedmont Community College. There I am working on my Associate of Arts degree and will hope to transfer to Liberty University. So far I am LOVING college. I have such wonderful teachers who care and really take the time with me making sure I understand and follow what they are saying. If only I had this kind of attention when I was growing up. If only the school system worked like my college does. I've been really involved in my church, First Baptist Church Indian Trail, but...

An Indian Trail Christmas 2008

Here are a few pictures of our Christmas production at church, December 11-14 2008, we had 7 performances to do!! I loved every minute of it. I have missed doing it this week. In complete honesty. IF you missed it this year mark your calender for next year, it's something you don't want to miss. I know we get really busy this time of year, it's easy to do. Our theme this year for Christmas was "A Brand New Christmas". Sometimes we get caught up in what really doesn't matter. What really matters is a little baby being born in an manger, the hope of all nations. He was born so we could live forever cool thought huh? I wish some of you reading this blog could have a pastor like my pastor, I am so thankful for my pastor. God has been gracious to us in every aspect of life, whether we have little or a lot, if you belong to Jesus you have more than the richest person could ever own. I'm thankful Jesus is mine! Merry Christmas!

Whee-lo

Have you ever played with a Whee-lo? This is the most popular toy in my family when we all gather together. It has been in our family probably since it was released in the early 1950's. All the grandchildren have found it be most entertaining we still play with it to this day. Who would have guessed such a simple toy would last for 40 years in a family entertaining children and adults alike? We've still got the original from the 50's. I'm sure all the grandchildrens children will play with it as well. They don't make them as good as they use to. You can find them at Cracker Barrel. Maggie Magnetic, Inc. produced the first Whee-Lo toys in the early 1950’s. The toy was very straightforward in its design, consisting of a red plastic wheel with a magnetized axle and a j-shaped, two-pronged piece of curved wire. Just this same, this minimalistic setup offered plenty of mesmerizing entertainment. The fun began when you placed the wheel within the wire loop, then a...

Day after Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving. Can you believe My Aunt Anna, Aunt Linda, my cousin Laura, and myself got up and went shopping? What were we thinking, what's wrong with us? We got some door buster deals. I got up at 5:00 and they came and picked me up at 6:15. We started at Michael's, then went to Koals, the line was horrendous in there and we just left. We had good luck in Old Navy, I found a few things in there for church. My Aunt Linda is so good to me, all my family takes care of me. I'm glad...I'll return the favor someday, I'll take care of them in their old age. They're still young. We went one other place I don't remember the name, there was a bunch of make-up in there and shampoo and conditioner, and hair stuff. Then we went to Mickydees and ate some breakfast. Then Grandmama put us to work...I'm happy to help my Grandmama in anyway I can. We raked leaves thats an endless job. We got the majority of it done. Then I crashed and slept for a ...
