Tag...Your It!

I was tagged by KAT...

10 years ago I was... 15, living in Rome Georgia, a Sophomore in High School, just coming into my own, I was so closed off for so many years, feeling old and an outsider, God sent one of my best friends Jennifer in my life, a firery free young woman, I was gaining a personality through these formative years...harsh times, times I'm thankful for, don't want to go back to them though!

1 year ago I was... I was 23 years old, just graduated from the University of Kentucky, and had no idea what I was going to do with myself. I was working part time in the position I have now as CRM of the store, and just really wanting a different life, through prayer, grace, and much imparted wisdom, I realize God was moving me to this crossroads in my life. He is so smart!

Yesterday i was... was spending my day at the theatre. I do this from time to time. I didn't have to go into work because I have to work this Saturday, so I went to see two movies yesterday, 4 Brothers, and Skeleton Key, I came home and watched Stage Beauty with Claire Daines. It was great, all the movies were really good, but I have to be honest, I felt like I was wasting my day a little bit...there is so much more I could have done...been more productive!

5 snacks i enjoy are... Dried Apricots have become a new addition to my snack food, Green Apples with salt, Nilla Wafers with Peanut Butter, Cool Ranch Doritos, Dried Fruit, and Lemons or Limes on occasion (of course with salt)!

5 songs i know all the words to... Somewhere North by Caedmon's Call, All songs by Sara Groves, Fancy by "Reba", Little Latin Lupe Lou by the Righteous Brothers, and (my mom loves this one) all the words to "Jesus, Born on this Day" by Mariah Carey!

5 things i would do with 100 million dollars... I couldn't even begin to imagine, pay off all debt, invest, give to all the charities I've ever wanted to give to, travel, and open my own production company in the Midwest!

5 places i would run away to.... Australia, Israel, Ireland, Scotland,...MIDWEST

5 things i would never wear... you know what, I wear what I like at the time, I'm not overly concerned with my fashion sense or the lack of it.

5 favorite tv shows... Little House on the Prairie, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, and Lost

5 bad habits...Laziness, Not answering my Phone, Driving to Fast, Road Rage, Eating to Much

5 biggest joys.... Laughter, Tears, Nature, Jesus, Friends, Family

5 favorite toys...my cd's (new car cd player), my DVD player, my stationary and cards, my old home movies, and my books (technically not all toys but things I enjoy)

5 people I tag to do this (if they'd like to)... Mary K, Jessica, Becca, Becky, and Marcia.

You are so bad about not answering your phone and then not returning the calls. But when you do call it is that much more special.

Let Me Share My Narrative With You (His Testimony!)

Well guys! Here it is! My testimony, or His testimony in my life! It is quite long...sorry...but I've divided it up in sections so hopefully it will make it easier to read. I hope that you will see Him fully reflected in this and that what ever ounce of me resides will be taken out I know this is long in coming, but I hope you enjoy.... Lord Father, this testimony is truly a testimony of You…it is not about me… What a deep and beautiful gift to be intimately known by the Creator of the Universe…let me share a narrative with you, a true love story if you will…let me share with you the moment the Lover of my soul captured my heart leaving me forever changed. I was born August 27, 1980 in Rome Georgia. I grew up Southern Baptist with a caring Mom and Dad and two amazing younger sisters that mean more to me than words can express. I was a very awkward child and struggled in my formative years with very low self-esteem and lack of self identity! Since I can’t take you through every sing...

Aslan

There are moments that I feel ancient, worn out and weathered. A battlement of bad weather and disappointment has left this little vessel of simply 25 years a little worse for wear. But, in my mind…in that tiniest truest part, I’m about 8 years old. I really delight when she surfaces. The older I get it tends to be less and less, and therefore all the more sacred and precious. Whether it be the first tinge of winter reddening my nose, the sounds of the first seasonal carol sung, or an episode of Little House on the Prairie taking me back to a small cherished space as a child. Sometimes my “little” hands can’t help but jump into rapid applause as the laughter of that small child surfaces and I see through her eyes. I feel it most this time of year, and never more as I have begun to read the beloved series…the Chronicles of Narnia. It is hard for me to imagine in all my 25 years I have never peeled back the cover and stepped into this magical world of wonder, snow, and magic. Where talki...

Living in a Broken Dream

She clutched nothingness by the jugular while her meager vessel cut through the shimmering glass of this placid sea. Pouring out memories of reindeer hooves, campfire songs, chilly night swims, delicious sunsets, the kiss of a sunrise, and the unexplored passion of a first kiss she attempted to stay afloat above the throe. Her leaking paper cup wasn’t fast enough; spilling more back into the shell than desired, working feverishly she didn’t even notice the shore or the silhouette…a man reaching…reaching for her… I’ve been dealing with the lack of feeling lately. That is the best way to describe it. My safe harbor is my mind, which incidentally is also a war torn land where great battles are fought and often lost. However, I have found a safe haven amongst the mortar blasts, debris, death, and devastation…a comfortable sort of numb that allows me to contend with my hallow dreams and broken heart. Like a cracked vessel that stands in front of the light she is to reflect rather than turni...
