Day 27

Day 27 – Your favorite place

To be completely honest, my favorite place is my church, Hickory Tavern Church of God(pictured above). I have attended there for a year and finally have found a place that I truly belong. I have spent a lot of my life looking for a place that I could knit my heart to other people and this is it. Most importantly though, its a place where I always feel God's presence.

I am very involved in my church and it helps me stay busy and not sink into feeling alone and abandoned like I use to.

My pastor and his family are beautiful people who genuinely have a heart for ministry. Too often now a days, pastors are in their career for the wrong reason, I am fortunate that this isn't the case for mine.

We are a proactive body spreading the love of God through our community and I couldn't be in a happier place.

Day 26

Day 26-Your Fears

I have suffered all day from a horrible migraine so this post is going to be very short.

My greatest fear is growing old alone.

I will elaborate more about this at another time.

Goodnight. <3

Day 25

Day 25-A First

I am really tired so I don't want to blog about anything serious tonight.

My first is going to be that I went to my FIRST wedding of 2010 today. :)

My friend and co-worker, Kenyotta got married today. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and a nice reception. It was a wonderful time, except for the fact that I got stung on my leg by a bumble bee! Ouch!

In this picture from left to right are, our boss Carmen, Kenyotta, Me, and our co-worker Sally.

Congratulations, Kenyotta!

Day 24

Day 24-Something that makes you cry

One huge thing that makes me want to cry is when I see, hear, or read about cases of animal abuse. I love, love, love animals and if I had the financial means, I would have a huge farm area with so many dogs and cats that need a home. I have always dreamed of this. I would make it a therapeutic place for abused and/or special need children to come play and visit with the animals.

My baby Lexy(not pictured) came from a local Humane Society over 7 years ago. I have adopted kitties from there before too. I have also been known to rescue strays from the side or the road or dumpsters. :)

If you have a heart for animals and would like to donate to a good cause, or would like to know more about a Humane Society, please click here.

I hope that everyone has a beautiful weekend!

Day 23

Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better

The one thing that ALWAYS makes me feel better is music. I don't remember a time that it hasn't. Music is one of the most important things to me. I listen to music wherever I go. I listen to pandora.com from my computer at work. I can't say that I have a favorite genre either. I have contemporary christian, country and pop all programmed into my stations in my car. I listen/watch CMT in the mornings while getting ready for work.

I am forever hearing a song lyric and thinking "thats exactly how I feel".

Music just speaks to me.

Day 22

Day 22- Something that upsets you

It is kind of funny that this should be my topic tonight. Right before I logged on to here to do my post, I read a status update on facebook from my first cousin on my dad's side. Fat, hot tears started running down my cheeks.

She posted that even though her dad( my father's brother) didn't feel well, he had still driven her 80 miles to where her car had broken down( and is now fixed) this past weekend. She also said that he was taking her out to dinner before they went back home. Her last statement in the status update was "I have a sweet one <3".>

Why couldn't mine be like that?

Day 21

Day 21-Another Moment

I love the quote above. It is so true. Moments happen in a flash and sometimes if you aren't careful the moments will slip by and we forget them so easily.

This is one reason that I started writing in this blog again. There are so many moments that I don't want to forget.

Tonight, I was coming home from doing a good deed for some friends of mine. I called my buddy Jason, to ask him some advice on painting my car. I asked him what he was doing and he said "I'm on my way home from Simpsonville". I jokingly asked him had he been on a hot date and he replied, "No, you're still at home aren't you? If I was on a hot date, it would be with you".

That was a good moment. I don't think he had a clue how bad I needed to hear something like that. Whether he meant it or not, a girl still needs to feel special every once in a while.
