I am really too tired to actually write a long blog, so here we are with an AWESOME song by a group called Barlowgirl. The song is called Never Alone. I heard this song about 3 years ago I think and fell in love with it. I wish I could post the actual song so you could hear the haunting lyrics and chorus.
No matter what we go through and it seems like Christ isn't there, He really is! No matter what happens in life, it's according to Him! He is soverign over everything!
I waited for You today
but You didn't show no no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
and though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
so I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here, and I'm Never Alone
And though I cannot see You
and I can't explain why
such a deep deep reasurrance
You've placed in my life
OH!! We cannot seperate
You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
and I cant feel You by my side
so I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm Never Alone
We cannot seperate
You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
so I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm Never Alone

I DON'T SPEAK NO SPANISH!!
Alright, where I currently work we have signs up that say we speak spanish at our location! This people, is completly untrue, which is alright with me because I don't want to learn spanish for the folks that are MOVING HERE. If you are going to stay, visit or live here, please learn our language! This also applies to myself if I were to go to a foreign country.
Well, I was asked to put up our new promotional signs; there are 5 signs that have to go up and not one of them has english on them! THEY ARE ALL IN SPANISH!! So...right now, I am protesting! I am not putting up those signs! This is America and we speak english here! And if you don't know it, learn it, if you don't want to learn it then PLEASE leave!!! So my protest will go on until my manager makes me, but as of right now, none of the spanish signs are going up!

Debating..or as I like to call it arguing but nicely!
Last night was a special night of television watching, my brother and I broke our no t.v. on Thursday night to watch the Vice Presidential debate. Going into this debate I really had no idea what Biden was all about, Palin on the other hand I knew a few things but not a whole lot. I guess about half way through the debate I said to myself " I think I would alright if she were president!" . I asked this question out loud to my brother Lance and he agreed to this as well, so I was feeling good about my response!
Now, I do have to put in here that I did give Biden a chance, meaning I listened to what he had to say to see where I was on things with him. I do have to say at this point he did make some good arguments and he did a great job supporting his running mate Obama. But...after the debate I was still on the side of Palin and Mccain. Call me crazy but my main reason for staying with Mccain and Palin was the fact that EVERYTIME Palin would defend or speak her eyes never wavered from the camera. She was so focused that I actually felt like she was speaking to me, even though I was miles away!! I could see the seriousness of what she believed!! She definitely is an energy saving woman, which is okay! But her answers never wavered and never changed and were never wishy washy or I dare say "flip flopped" as we so went thorough the last election! She never focused on the past it was all based on the future and what they planned to do, there really is no need to discuss the past or ever the Bush administration!!
So, as for Biden, occasionally he did catch my attention but to my knowledge he never held me gaze because his eyes never staying focused into the camera!! A lot of the time he talked at or to the lady that was there to preside over the debate!! I MEAN SERIOUSLY BIDEN..LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT AMERICA!! YOU ARE HERE TO WIN OVER AMERICA AND NOT ONCE DID I TRUST THE EYES THAT WERE DODGEY, HARDLY EVER LOOKING STAIGHT INTO THE CAMERA WITH ALL SERIOUSNESS AND BELIEVABILITY!! ANSWER TO US NOT THE PERSON PRESIDING OVER THIS WHOLE THING!!
So Palin, you have my vote!
Now, once this lovely debate was over I decided to what the debates of the new casters!! I just love how they know how the people of America feel or ever what the people of America think!! JUST SHUT IT!! YOU DON'T!! At one point this new caster, who I don't recall the name of but he is on Fox News (and no it's not Alan Colmes!), he stated that America does not like her accent or the sterness in voice!! I Find this to be competly false!! While I do like her accent, it brings for a nice change of things! As for the sterness in her voice, please bring it on!! For me it makes it all the more believeable!! To not waver from you beliefs and to passionatly speak about them is all the more believable!!
Alright, I am slowing down now, and starting be a bit freaked out because I am starting to sound like my Dad! Which mind you is not that bad (LOVE YOU POPS!). So please main stream media stop telling me what I think is true when it's not!! And debaters, look to Mrs. Palin and how sincerness and believablity and talk to America! Not only the presider or just the audience there but also the camera and look into the eyes of America!
GO PALIN!

A little ditty!
So I woke up this morning to the fresh, crisp and chilly weather, which excites me for the upcoming changing season. What a nice surprise to have to wake up and put on a light jacket! I love the changing of the seasons, especially from Summer to fall and then to my favorite, winter!! As I was walking about to my car breathing the nice cool air and I was so thankful for the coolness and I just stood for a moment thanking the Lord for his awesome and perfect creation and the perfect changing of the seasons!!
Well...then the day happened! That does come across as more dramatic than need be BUT it was just a crazy day!! Then as I was sitting here tired at my desk, I just sat back rehashing all the crazy things that happened today, and how I was just not thankful at all!! And this is what the Lord did to put in my place...So clever, So..GOD!
Like I said before I was going through the day not being thankful whatsoever and this little chorus that I remember singing in church when I was a little one popped into my head....
"This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Now I know you remember this little ditty, we always did it as an echo/round in the service!! How clever of Him to use this little song to remind me that He created the heavens and the earth and all that it contains!! From the trees, to the grass, to even the people of the world and I should be glad in this day that He created and rejoice!! I should not only rejoice for being able to live and breath His air, but rejoice for He rose from the dead, to defeat death and sin!! I must rejoice for everything He has done for He ordained and ordains all things to happen and I must give Him glory and praise in all things!! So I can honestly say that I am humbled to the core by a song I used to sing as a child and am singing and humming along to right now!!!
REJOICE!! AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE!!

Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong....
Just a quick little note here.....
Upon my arrival to work this morning, I was asked to install a "door bell" in the front lobby area of my branch. So, for the whole day today and until I go absolutely insane..that is what I hear:
Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong....
Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong....
Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong...Ding...Dong....
I wonder how long it will take before I scream, run across the lobby and rip that thing out of the wall!! Now, I did ask if I could turn it down but I was denied that request and luckily at this very moment I am locked away in a room having just finished 4 assessments for my continuing education. SO, now that I am done up I go to the lovely rings of a door bell!!
I give myself 2 hours...But it will probably be less!!!
OH JOY!

How Clever!
I just have to gloat on the cleverness of Christ!! I am sitting here just thinking about a lot of different things, thankfully they were mostly about Christ and my love for Him and His love for me! Which, is just amazing to begin with! Then to my surprise at the end of my wonderfully BORING day (I was shut up in a boring office cross-training AGAIN!) that my brother Lance and I were thinking along the same lines of Christ today!! How COOL is that?! I will link over to his post for everyone to read http://un2him.blogspot.com/2008/09/spurgeon.html.
To start with, we have been doing a weekly reading of a wonderful yet challenging book entitled "Thoughts for Young Men" by J.C. Ryle. This book is pretty much amazing! It's a little difficult to read at times because of the way they wrote and even spoke back in the 1800s. Anyway, our reading last week focused on striving to have a relationship with Christ. We should be constantly thinking about how to build that relationship with Christ. How can you not be following Christ's teaching and not have a relationship with Him?! Isn't obedience to the Father a relationship in itself?!
So, as I was pondering this subject matter my brain started to think about when we Christians hear a message and just blatantly ignore what Christ is teaching us!! If we are not building that relationship and obeying Him and His word what will happen to us?!? First off we will be held accountable to everything that happens here on earth ESPECIALLY with what we take in as Christians. Don't we all want to hear those words when we arrive in glory "Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your master". THEN we have the so called "Christians" who go to church are under the teaching of Christ and do absolutely nothing with their lives that is godly whatsoever!! And the words that will strike you to the core "Depart from ME, I knew you not!" Yikes, is the word that comes to mind there!!
Brother and sisters listen to the words of YOUR Father, just as it says in proverbs, bind them around your neck and keep them close to your heart!!
SO! with this I stand with a smirk across my face at how clever our God is!! That he would make two people think upon the same thing and focus on that the whole day!!
Thank you God for YOUR truth and YOUR faithfulness in ALL THINGS!!! Thank you for sending YOUR only son to die for the sins of the world! Thank You for YOUR timing and wondeful sense of humor! How humbling it is!

Just another manic Monday!
Alright, well this is just going to be A LOT of rambling today!
We will start with this morning:
Why are smart dogs so STUPID!? WHY?! I always feel bad when I have to get onto or pretty much spank my dog for something she has already been in trouble for!! Adili has recently taking to chewing things and when I got home last Saturday I found out that she had chewed a spot on the base board in the area where she is blocked up. Lance of course popped her good for that BUT this morning outside my bedroom where she is locked up I could hear the loud, annoying scraping of teeth on wood! I sprang from my bed quickly and of course spanked and got onto her for this. THEN, as I am finishing getting ready I hear the noise AGAIN and take it, it's been let's see 20 maybe 25 minutes later, BOY was I not happy!! SO, here go again with the spanking and repremanding!! I mean how can a dog so smart be so stupid!! I mean does she seriously enjoying being spanked?!? Well into her crate she went for the day....
Now it's off to work, I make it in a breeze to work, gwaking at the crazy folk for waiting in line because " OH GOSH THERE IS NO GAS!!" Seriously people COME ON!!!
Back to work----> Work has been decent even though I have been in the downstairs office doing cross training for my branch, having no human interaction except through comment conversations on here and a few texts from my brothers!! I do have to say thank you to the Lord for this day b/c if I was not down here I would not have been able to talk about Him with my brothers. Lance and Christopher, I appreciate you guys so much! reading these blogs and where your hearts are is so awesome!! Thank you for bring my mind and my heart right back to the heart of worship!! SO I sit here quietly all day pondering the awesomeness of our Father!! Also every now then breaking out into a few hymns and songs because the acoustics are excellent down here!! Praise the Lord for that! SO I say thank you Father for my brothers who love You as much as I do and for keeping me accountable and focused on you all the time!!! I thank you for saving them and molding them like You!!
Now...I have finished my little finals in my training to much stern talking to the computer for now being fast enough or not doing what I want it do! So... it's time to go home! WAHOO!!
Although I am not looking forward to see what Adili will get into this evening! HAHA!
To the praise of His GLORIOUS name!!
