So my week was crazy! Starting with goin to Athens on Tuesday for the day to visit friends and get some much needed fellowship.

Wednesday Nikki (my boss) left till today, she was in California. So I had to be on 24/4 hour duty with Grandma Curriny. It was an adventuresome 4 days. Nikki's ride to the airport didn't show up, so we ended up having to jump in the car and take her. We got there Just in time for her flight!

Thursday my brother came to fix somethings around the house and ended up making the fire alarm go off for over a hour, then left when he couldn't get it turned off. I didn't get any reply to the emergency texts and calls I made for over a hour and a half, so when I did I was able to disconnect the fire alarm myself! It was so easy!! My only wish is that I could have done it right away!!!.... We went to Red Lobster for my friend Liz's birthday. Then ha a great night together with another of my friends, Mara. Movie and gossip nights we all need them sometimes!!

On Friday grandma kept saying "I smell doggy poop!" I thought it was something that a friend was cooking in the kitchen in the crock pot, but come to find out.... I went into the restroom, and there was brown poop all over the rugs smeared everywhere. And when I walked into the kitchen there was in fact a trail of it from the bedroom and bathroom into the kitchen! Yuck!! So I immediately threw the rugs into the washer and scrubbed all the floors clean, went into Grandma's room to let her know. I asked her if shed gone outside to get the mail and to check her slippers. She picked them up, and there was the source!! She then proceeded to ask "what was on her slippers!" I was like "smell it is that what you've been smelling??" She says "yeah!" She says "where'd it come from?" I said "a dog? I hope!" she says "well, I don't have a dog!!" hehe... Anyways we got rid of the source too into the washer he slippers went!!

Today was a good day, no mishaps! And now I'm watching the Georgia/Florida game, an enjoying some normal entertainment ;)

Enjoyment from Philippians

Philippians  3:12  Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected, but I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
3:13  Brothers, I do not account of myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do: Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
3:14  I pursue toward the goal for the prize to which God in Christ Jesus has called me upward. 

4:6  In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
4:7  And the peace of God, which surpasses every man's understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

4:11  Not that I speak according to lack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be content.
4:12  I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.
4:13  I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me.
4:14  Nevertheless you did well to have fellowship with me in my affliction.

Semi Annual

So I fellowshipped about going to the Semi-Annual training out in California in Dec. I think it's going to actually work out! YEY!! I'll get to be at my besties graduation from the FTTA, and I'll get to see my Mommy and Daddy. That would make me SO HAPPY!!

My Supply

Just turning to the Lord moment by moment to be my daily and moment by moment supply is helping me get through everything right now.

My mom is having a hard time with loosing her mother. I feel like I need to go out to California and be with her in Dec. for a couple weeks. We will see if the Lord can work it out.

Fellowshipping about getting my CNA, and then eventually going back to get my RN license. I have only gotten positive feedback. The Lord is so precious in this reguard!

I'm needing support and prayer for my life right now. I'm only wanting to be in Athens right now, it's where I feel like there is a home and healthy enviorment. I'm consistantly happy and over joyed when I am with the saints there. I know and realize it's just like anywhere else, I would still have my life. But that is where I feel most at "home." And with a lack of car and having a Job in Atlanta it's hard to get up there to be with my friends and the saints there. I was able to be up there a lot at the beginning of the semiester. and now I'm hoping the Lord will work towards relocating me to be living up there. I was able to take yesterday off, and have a day in Athens, and a much needed day of "rest." Even if some of the things I had to do yesterday were very stressful. I'm heading back up to Athens on sunday for a much needed Lord's day table with the dear saints there.

I love my family, the church life, the saints who care for me and take care of me, those who are praying for me. I'm praying the Lord works all that is going on in my life in reguards to job, school, location, family, church life. My daily living and supply is coming from Him!

Philippians 4
10 But I arejoiced in the Lord greatly because now at length you have caused your thinking for me to 1blossom anew; for which matter you had indeed taken thought, but lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak according to alack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be 1bcontent.
12 I know also how to be 1abased, and I know how to 2abound; 3in everything and in all things 4I have learned the secret both to be 5filled and to ahunger, both to 6abound and to 7black.
13 I am able to do all things 1in Him who 2aempowers me.
14 Nevertheless you did well to have 1afellowship with me in my 2affliction.
15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the agospel, when I bwent out from cMacedonia, no church had 1fellowship with me in the 2daccount of 3giving and receiving except 4you only;
16 For even in aThessalonica you sent both once and again to my bneed.
17 Not that I seek the 1gift, but I seek the 2afruit which increases to your 3baccount.
18 But I have received in full all things and abound; I have been 1filled, receiving from aEpaphroditus the 2things from you, a 3sweet-smelling savor, an acceptable 4bsacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19 And 1my God will 2afill 3your every need 4according to His riches, 5in glory, 6in Christ Jesus.
20 Now to 1our God and Father be the 2aglory forever and ever. 3Amen.

I thank the Lord for my supply...

All in the Lord's timing, a prayer!

Today is going to be one of those nerve racking days where all I can do to keep going is pray to the Lord to keep it all in His hands, for His perfect will, for His perfect timing.

Lord keep my heart focused on you! Lord if it's Your way, Your will, and Your heart's desire. You keep it in your hands, because I can't do it without You.

and off I go to the land of no return!

Timing

My best friend calls me last night after this christian conference that we usually both attend.... Only difference is she didn't make it to this one. And when I need my best frined, I need my best friend. We talked for about an hour last night and have done the same twice today! Like I said I needed her here, and she wasn't, and come to find out she was going through the same thing!

So, because I'm in need, I'm taking tomorrow off and heading to Athens, GA for the day, details are still being put together. But it only took me 10 mins to find 2 people to cover my usual double shift day :)...

Today is going like most monday's only I have major lack of sleep because of the over busy weekend, I have not had the time to recover from. So I'm working on 4 days straight of only getting at most 3 hours of solid sleep every night, not to mention last week was one of the most stressful weeks this month. And this week is looking to be worse then last, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be a MUCH needed break before the "storm" :)... Only time will tell

Picture post

 Some Pictures I found that were interesting to me...
                                                                                               

This Family is too cute... "family genes"
            Something I thought most men should keep in mind.
                                                                               Talk about an interesting thought...

Songs of the day!

Listening to pandora radio while working today, and loving the songs they've been playing for me today. How fitting for how I've been feeling all weekend :)

FALL 2011 10TH GRADE‐COLLEGE AGE CONFERENCE Atlanta, Georgia

The conference focused on the first two books of the bible, and the last two. Gensis 1-2, and Revelation 21-22. Here are the main focus's of every message.

The Beginning and the End: A Bird's Eye View of
LIFE& BUILDING
in the Holy Bible

Message One
The Tree of Life
Focus: The beginning and the end of the Bible are consistent in revealing that the divine life is for God’s building; through the redeeming blood of Christ we all have the right to take Christ as the tree of life, living a life of dependence on God, now and for eternity.

Message Two
The River of Water of Life
Focus: When we submit to the Lord on the throne, we can drink and flow the river of water of life; by this we are made fruitful, are purified, and are transformed into precious materials for God’s building.

Message Three
The Precious Materials of God’s Eternal Building
Focus: The precious materials of gold, pearl and precious stones seen in the garden of Eden that are built up to become the New Jerusalem signify the Triune God’s work to transform us from men of clay into men of preciousness for His eternal building.

Message Four
The Universal Couple
Focus: The picture of Adam and Eve at the beginning of Genesis reveals God’s desire to enter into a marriage union with man, and this desire is ultimately fulfilled by the preparation of the New Jerusalem as the wife of the Triune God.

Also here is the website you can hear the messages and read the outlines at...

Hymn 984

I really enjoyed this hymn tonight! And i just wanted to share my enjoyment :)!

Hymn 984  

SUBJECT: ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION-LIFE IN ETERNITY
METER: 8.7.8.7. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: B. Line; chorus by D. Wood

1 River of living water,
    River that flows from the throne,
  Fellowship giving and making
    God’s own authority known.
Chorus  
    River of living water,
    Fellowship freely bestows;
    Bringing authority with it,
    Through every place where it flows.
2 Water of life is the Spirit,
    God as the life in it flows;
  Carrying with it His Lordship,
    Through every place where it goes.
3 Midst the gold street it floweth,
    Thus showing to us the way;
  As in God’s nature it floweth,
    So in His way we will stay.
4 The tree of life by the river,
    Shows to us God as our food;
  We by the river’s full flowing
    Take of the tree’s plenitude.

Great weekend so far!

Havig such a great weekend! Can't help but smile :)! Oh SO tired!!

Lord keep us in the River enjoying Your water!!

The Definition of Love

The Definition of Love
vv.4-7 1 Corinthians
13:4  Love suffers long. Love is kind; it is not jealous. Love does not brag and is not puffed up;
13:5  It does not behave unbecomingly and does not seek its own things; it is not provoked and does not take account of evil;
13:6  It does not rejoice because of unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
13:7  It covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Coinscidences

I for one don't believe there is such a thing as Coinscidences. I truly believe that God arranges all things in His timing and for Hid purpose.

When I lived in Slovakia, I had a small group of American missionary friends. We all came from a Christian back ground, but most of us were from a different state and all had grown up in different churches. But because God is the same in every place, we all had Him in common. When I moved back to the USA I didn't know if and when I would ever see or talk to any of my friends there again. Because of social networking we all keep in touch. But until last Sunday I have not had the opportunity to see any of them!

I was in Chattanooga, TN for a "ground breaking," it was the first Lord's day table (communion) of the "church in Chattanooga." A friend and I decided we wanted to stay for the whole day and tour. While at lunch for my best friend Katie T's birthday, I received a comment on my Facebook wall from a friend from Slovakia who i hadnt seen in 10 years that now lives here in the states with her husband and two beautiful children, telling me she was also in Chattanooga for the day visiting!! So because of social networking and the fact that we all keep in touch in this way, I got to see friends I hadn't seen in 10 years!! I also got to meet her growing family :). Her sister happens to live about 40 miles north of Chattanooga and so she was there with her husband and 2 children also :)!I truly believe it was a God thing, and not a coincidence.

The Lord has been helping me through a pretty rough year. I believe looking back this year has been one of the best of my life sO far, and also the worst! I'm praying the Lord Brings me through stronger and more transformed in Him. I'm also praying He gives me what He wants for me in His own timing. Even if I am also letting Him know my desires also. I thank the Lord everyday for my loving family and my extended one as well, they are all so precious to me!

Verses i enjoyed today

Romans 8:31  What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
8:32  Indeed, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things?
8:33  Who shall bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
8:34  Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus who died and, rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
8:36  As it is written, "For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.''
8:37  But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.
8:38  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers
8:39  Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Old Blogs!

I'm guessing once on the net always on the net.... lol

Look what I found today!!

I completely forgot about this, gonna have to go through and read all about me ;)

Chattanooga, TN

This weekend there is a blending trip to Chattanooga, TN... My girls and I are going to be heading up there probably Sat. afternoon. Our plans are to camp out Saturday night in the woods, and make it to the meeting on Sunday morning!! Hoping this works out with the weather being so bad the past week. I'll take pics if it does :)

Friends

Last weekend my best friend took a night and came to visit me with her son.

I missed her. It'd been a month since I'd seen them. We stayed up till all hours of the morning talking :)

A good friend contacted me last week for the second time in a month, when it's been about 4 months since talking to him. Supposed to be coming to visit me, would be nice to see him.

Most the time when it comes to my friends, they are great. I love each and everyone of them. I am glad that the Lord has provided me with such great people to surround me :)

Tiredness

This week has been miserable when it comes to the weather! It's been raining since sunday, it's thursday now. So, it's cold, rainy, and I have a feeling when the week is done with rain, it will be more like fall weather. That would be the one good thing about it. I have issues of always being tired when the weather is like this, so I feel tired and miserable :(. I get through it, just don't like feeling like this. Naps are in order ;)

years of experience

I had a okay 4 day weekend, nothing special, just hung around...

So now that Netflix has "The Wonder Years" on instant play, I've been watching it. It brings back crazy memories from being a kid! It's kinda fun at times...

Yesterday, I was having the "I don't wanna" feelings all day, I think it's the weather! but who knows?? And I had the thoughts of... When I was a kid the "I don't wanna, feeling" was just a feeling one would have when not wanting to do something your parents asked you to do, such as dishes or cleaning of room. Now as an adult, "I don't wanna, feelings" can become a reality :) You can have them and act on them!! So yesterday was "I don't wanna" day, and so I didn't. Today however.... I have to get things done, so the "I don't wanna" becomes a reality of... Thank you parents for teaching me good habits such as: keeping a clean room, getting laundry done, keeping the dishes out of the sink and clean. Now my apartment doesn't look like a dirty dump, because of you I have a nice clean apartment most of the time :)

Now Someday, when I become a parent, I now have the teaching ablities to keep my house a nice and tidy home :)

Adventures

Been sick with a really bad cold and cough for a week, ever since I got home from my trip. So sleep, eat, work, Meds, bed it's been for me.

Yesterday I felt well enough to venture to the outside world!! I ended up going to the annual "Greek festival" with my friend Liz! We had a blast... Great food, great dessert, great dancing!

After dark I went on a adventure with my friend Cassie to listen to live music. So we went to a tavern down town to see a band we LOVE. "Ty Reynolds!" if you haven't heard of him, look him up! He's pretty great!

Now as for me still feeling sick, hyped up on some Meds and sleeping this day away :)
