"Life & Me" Part I

This is not today's but I thought it would be good to let you in on what I was thinking back on...

September 14, 2007

Well, I was sitting here beginning to analyze my life and you know what?--I have a good life! Sure I can talk about certain things I’d like to be different, and sometimes I feel down and would probably looove to go on and on complaining. (But I don’t go on and on… I just stop after a lil while. 'smile' ) I suppose, at the moment, I’m just not analyzing my life, as I am now.

So, here I am… almost 27. (My birthday is in 5 days. Whoopee.) Notice the sarcasm. (Not good.)—Still alive and not in hell. Breathing and thanking God for another day! ANYway… so, I’m 26 and ¾, still single (I won’t go there right now), with no kids, and nobody bothering me (nagging strangers, neighbors, parents or friends I mean). I have a job (that’s as far as I’ll go with that)—getting some type of money at least. I have a good relationship with my boss. I go to a nice church with a great worship team. I have friends! Some people can’t say they have those. I have wonderful parents. (And I truly mean that.) You kind of learn to appreciate them as time goes by. (I won’t say—as you get older.) My brothers don’t beat me up anymore. We actually get along. (At least when we’re far from each other! ha ha) I have a great cook for a mom, and she saves the left-over’s for me so I don’t have to spend money on lunch—or my taste buds on bad food. I have nieces and nephews that I love with all my heart… and the youngest is my God-daughter. Plus there was an addition to the fam. 6 months ago. My great-nephew is gorgeous!
I’m not in trouble with the law. I don’t have baby-daddy drama. I own “my own” car and I’m responsible; for the most part. I own at least or almost 150 books—including the bible. Do You own one?? You should. So, Yes… I love reading. Believe me; it happened during the course of time. Warning: It can happen to you! I’m a girly girl. I can actually do my own make-up (thanks to my fav. girls here in FL)… I accessorize, and sometimes wear heels. (he he) I don’t owe my life and possessions to bill collectors... only to Christ! I can manage my money pretty well. My only drug is chocolate and even that I’ve cut down on. So let’s call it a ‘craving.’ I have a great sense of humor—& if ya couldn’t tell, I can be pretty comical too! I’m a people person. I have good moral values. I keep a journal. Well, probably 5 or 6! All of which I do NOT write in every day. lol Not even weekly. But I own them. I Write. I call it, “Thoughts on Paper.” I also blog and post bulletins! You should try it too! I sing—and I’m beginning to write my own songs. I usually start them and never finish them. But I promised myself I’d finish them all some day. I have goals (and fantasies). Not all are clear, but I know certain things I’d like to do before I go home one day.

Aaahhh ::sigh of relief and daydream:: Heaven.

My hair is real. (No offense to the buyers and users—I’m just being thankful.) I know how to cook. And when I do, I do it well! I know how to do the laundry without messing up the clothes. I speak 4 languages. English, Spanish, some Sign Lang., and Spiritual Tongues (Acts 2:4). I have all 5 senses in tact… and most of my teeth. (You couldn’t tell any were missing had I not mentioned it huh?) I can walk, talk and type, think (straight), ride a bike, and make pretty hairstyles with my hair—not all at the same time… but I can. I have a cell phone and I can call and receive calls from whoever I want, whenever I want. (Well, almost.) Being that I only have one ovary, my period lasts 3 days. Seriously, only 3 days. And they are almost always painless. I don’t get cranky (all the time). Men, don’t believe that women have-to-be cranky and get what they want every single time they get their period. (You can give them everything they want every other days of the year! he he) Really, it can be bad, but it’s not all that bad.
I don’t think men are dogs. Dogs are "man's" best friends. hehe j/k Seriously though, Why do some women wanna bash men and then cry when they don’t have one and visa-versa?? We all have ‘issues.’ Some just don’t know how to deal with them—men and women alike. I plan on getting married someday (hopefully soon) and I sure know I ‘aint’ marrying a dog. I’m marrying a man of God, who’s gonna enjoy a woman of God. ::wink:: “I know who I am.” He’s gonna be glad he found me—Proverbs 18:22 “He who finds a wife finds what is good (treasure) and receives favor from the Lord.” Got that ladies? We are God's treasure. I can enjoy a nice peaceful day at home and not think it’s “boring.” I’ve traveled to other places by air. And no, I don’t mean a punch that threw me across the room. (he he) I enjoy a nice automotive ride from time to time. A specific destination is not necessary. I love smiling and laughing. And I love causing others to smile and laugh.—In short, I enjoy life.

With that said… let me remind you that none of this could be possible or testified of if I didn’t have Jesus in my heart. Yes, I’ve gone through situations that at times I feel were “unfair” or straight out “bad” –and they were. But even through those times, I see that I’ve only survived because I have Jesus in my life. Now I thank God for every situation in my life because I have matured through them. I still have maturing to do—perhaps even a longs way to go, but I have God. And I have the Bible. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. It’s our manual—one we shouldn’t live without. I’ve seen first-hand that I am alive and well because I have a relationship with my Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit who is my Comforter and Counselor. I seriously know that I am alive due to this. I know that no matter what may come, I am alright because God loves me, I’ve accepted His love, and I love Him.

So, that’s Life… and Me! :)
