The change

I used to see road blocks everywhere I turned
What I see now are lessons I could have learned
Life seemed so empty, only filled with abuse
Pulled my rope so long I had my head in a noose
But I cut myself free and I finally walked away
-I'm so thankful the Lord blessed me with another day-
How could a soul as dark and empty as mine
Be pieced back together and learn how to shine?
I had to let go of every secret I tried so hard to hide
And make peace with my wounded spirit inside
The hardest part of healing was letting people love me
And realizing I needed help from those standing above me
Now when I think of leaving I fall to my knees and pray
Peace and calmness surrounds me and I know it's okay
Who would have thought, a soul as tattered and torn as mine
Could call herself a Daughter of God and let her light shine.
********************************************
life's a journey, and we all make mistakes
Always frustrated by life and how long it takes-
Don't worry, it's never too far no matter how far you stray
There's someone who loves you who's provided a way
It doesn't take much, just a simple change of heart
And He'll protect you from the advesary- every fiery dart.

April snow-showers?

So, for everyone who has a window, you have seen the snow falling outside today. I had to get a few pictures of it, and after going outside for further inspection, I realized that apparently it was in hail shape- looking like dip-n-dots ice cream. So, here are a few pictures I got. Maddy of course had to go and play in it and point out that her jeep was covered in "balls of snow".

I don't know about you, but snow/hail storms in April make me realize just how true the statement "we are living in the latter days" really is. haha...I love it!

Fri-yea!

This morning was amazing. I got to babysit at the Burleson's and watch Lydia, Calvin, and Roxy! Tami has a kitty named Speckles, and holy poo, I kid you not, this cat has it's ears peirced! I should have brought my camera, but yea, it was amazing! It had the same earings in as I did....odd, but funny. Plus they had shaved it a couple days earlier cause it was sick or something- so it looked like a calico lion with fluffy feet and a little puffel at the end of her tail. I love that cat now.
Besides that, nothing new really- just thought it was time for an update. Life has been good, I got a few more letters from Race this week, one today, which made me day that much better. I love that kid with all my heart- it will be nearly four years since I've seen him by the time he gets home...and even still, I know I love him- I don't have to see him to remember how I feel about him. I love it- he is everything a mom could wish for for her daughter! I think my mom would agree to that, she is the one that would bring him up speratically- pointing out that "there's always Race." Thanks mom. =]
Alright, well, it's time for work! yeay! Get to close and get home around 10pm, only to go back to work at 10:30am tomorrow. Woohoo.....

Claws & Paws!

Alright, so today I had me a little adventure! I met up with my friend Marlys, and she took me to the animal shelter in Quincy to see the new puppies they got in. I'm not sure exactly what they are, but their mom is a basset hound, and a couple look like courgie or lab mixes. I took my camera along, of course, so here are a few pics of the little puppies...my favorite was the little black and white one- it had the body of a basset hound- with those little stubby legs and longer body- sooo cute!



Then we ventured into the adult dog area...... first is the mommy!! Come on, tell me her babies arn't gonna be cute!




Alright.....a couple other ones...


And there you have it!!! If you want to adopt one of these loverly animals, contact the Claws and Paws shelter in Quincy!!! =]

School

I'm writing this at school today, I have an hour and a half break before my next class. Most people would refer to this break as "lunch, but since I'm broke this is "study time" for me. My first class is Math, which is pretty cool, I get to just sit in the room and do work at my own pace- which means that I could finish earlier than usual. Right, then English- which is highly entertaining. My teacher is unique, he has a very colorful vocabularly. And lastly (the class I'm waiting for) Lifetime Wellness.
This class is probably not the most put-together, but we get to work out twice a week, so whatever. I never know when anything is actually due in that class-it changes nearly every day- and most assingments are not too well talked about. But apparently everything we do is "extremely easy", at least that's what the class line tells me. I do enjoy going to school though, so I can't really complain about getting an education.
Besides that, nothing really new has been going on. Oh wait, I did actually buy a piano the other day. I was out yard saleing with Morgan and I came across this beauty, and I knew right then that I had to have it. So my loverly boss, loyd Burleson, got a few guys together and we hauled it to the house. I now have about 2ft of free space in my room, but I don't mind. Having a piano is well worth the loss of space and money- which cost me $300. I'm very pleased with myself on my purchase. I think I might get some pictures up soon for everyone to see. =] For now I think I better get to studying!
