a blanket with sleeves....my life is changed forever




















ok people...brace yourselves for this one ;-) if you haven't seen the infomercial for the snuggie please check it out before you read this. as a joke neal bought chris a snuggie for his birthday. we have been joking about how hilarious it would be to get some and wear them around orlando in public. so for chris' 30th birthday, we robed ourselves in two lovely blue snuggies and drove from place to place to see what kind of reactions we would get. first stop was publix, then starbucks, but the best was walmart. all i can say is comedy....

unexpected joy

i love those mornings in which you wake up and you're filled with an abundance of joy. and there's no real reason for it. i mean nothing significant happened overnight in which i should wake up filled with joy. (well, i guess i did have a good dream :-))the only answer is god. he is the only thing that can give us true joy anyways. i haven't felt this much joy in awhile. i must admit, life has been hard for me over the last couple of months. i've been wrestling with god on life and why he does the things he does. i am learning that i can't wake up in the morning and ask god WHY? i have to look to god for WHO he is, not for WHAT he can do or give to me. it's been a slow process of changing my attitude towards god, but i am getting there!

i am filled with an exceeding amount of joy right now and the only explanation is god. he is showing me how blessed i truly am. he has given me much! i am thankful that i serve a god who help me change my attitude and my heart. without him i am hopeless!


here are just a few reasons why i am so thankful.....
