Well today was my one day off. Unfortunately I spent it sleeping and semi watching television in and out of consciousness. It seems that I may have caught something. I thought it might have been allergies or lack of sleep or maybe a combo. So I've been kinda drugged up all week. Taking Sudafed, Claritin, Theraflu and Advil. I hate being sick. But I need to get better by tomorrow because I have to work.
This girl at my job went to the hospital for dehydration and probably exhaustion as well. I think I know how she feels. Earlier in the week I felt like my body turned on my from lack of sleep/coffee/lack of food combination. The job ain't worth it y'all. No job is. I'll no longer be sick from over working myself or worrying. I've been meditating on that verse Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious for anything but by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I really like that. Peace guarding my heart and my mind.

Buy me a drank?
As much as I hate T-Pain's music if the title fits, wear it!
I was awakened this morning by a question. Three actually. Then I went back to sleep. Then I was awakened again with a task. Now that I actually had to get up and complete that task, I'm back to at least offer some thought to the first question. Can there be such a thing as a Christian owned liquor store? It wasn't my question people, but I'm gonna attempt to answer. Well to tell you the truth, if there are any they aren't using that as a selling point. And it would either be a very popular store for all the Christians who felt any conviction for going to the liquor store in the first place or not successful at all because people feel convicted just by going in. Can you imagine walking in and hearing, "We fall down, but we get up."?
Now as drinkers love to point out the Bible says nothing about drinking being wrong only getting drunk. At the time it was customary to have wine with meals. They didn't have soda, purified water or artificial fruit juices. Nor any way store juice. If they did make juice it probably got fermented and ended up as wine anyway.
My thing about drinking was always this. I never really liked the taste of alcohol. Which is why I drank hard liquor. After awhile you can't even taste it. Even those lil fruity mixed drinks theres a trace of the alcohol taste. Gotta drink a couple to not get any taste. But the real kicker is those that you can't even taste the alcohol. They get you drunk before you finish the bad boy. Now when I even get a lil buzzed, it don't feel right. I'm not saying I felt this way earlier this year or even a month ago. Because I missed the taste of something I didn't even like in the first place I tried wines thinking it wasn't gonna be that bad. It wasn't even worth it! They all taste the same to me! I don't get it.
Anyway, for me the point of drinking was always to get drunk. I still feel that way. What's the point of drinking at all if you ain't gone get buzzed. Its a tease. And me, I'm all or nothing. So I choose nothing. It's not a good look. And I'm not sure it would be for Christian liquor store, but thats me. The could justify that they're just getting all the riches from the wicked thats stored for the righteous. You know thats in the Bible.
And the answer to the second and third questions:
Sponges firstly came from simple sea animals called poriferans, which are macerated to leave the squishy "skeletal" inside, which is full of tiny, water-holding pockets. The softness of natural sponges varies with the species. Synthetic sponges were later developed out of man-made materials, were able to hold slightly more water, and could be produced in more uniform shapes and sizes. Synthetic sponges and natural sponges are both prone to collect bacteria, but some man-made sponges are designed to be more resistant. Like the loofah, it is best to machine wash a sponge about once a week.
The nylon mesh sponge, or "pouf", is made from a nylon net bunched together into a ball. Its recent popularity can be linked to its being both gentle on the skin but abrasive enough for good lathering; and because there are no hidden chambers, the life of the shower pouf is lengthened, since it doesn`t fall prey to grime as easily as other sponges.

Happy Birthday to me !!
Well not exactly, but it is my half-birthday. In exactly six months I will be 25 years old. So I think its an appropiate time to reflect on the first sixteenth of my life. To tell you the truth, it coulda been better. Its my own fault though. But you better believe the next five years are gone be off the hook. The most fabulous five consecutive years of my life to date. And its only gonna get better from there. Done with the boys (boys not men), done with the hang- overs, done with teen/early twenties drama. If I ever really thought I was grown before.....No this is real grown. I can actually rent a car on my own. Car insurance goes down! Businesses actually consider me responsible enough not to charge me an arm and a leg to cover themselves.
I got goals people and if I keep putting them off I'll be trying to do them in between kids. I've already seen that does not work. Procrastination is over!!! Good-bye to you! Yeah I expect you to watch me. I may have some things go on. As I said everybody goes through stuff. But I'm strong, I'll come out rejuvenated. I know who God is! I'm getting excited.
Has anybody seen this whole automatic bank Monopoly? How lazy are we people? Can we even count our Monopoly money anymore? Thats why people like me can't even do simple math. Then again maybe it will make the game go faster. You know Monopoly takes days to finish.

The Holy Spirit will tell on you
Yes, the Holy Spirit is a tattle-tell. And He don't just go and tell everybody, only the responsible ones who will pray for you. In short, Sarah doesn't know anything (in detail). Mil didn't even tell her. The Holy Spirit told her and you confirmed it.
I remember when I was going through my craziness. I remember now how my best friend backed way up from my life. At the time I hardly even realized that she was gone because I was caught up in my mess. Even when she tried to help me, in her way, it didn't work. She wasn't even equipped to handle what I was going through. No one around me was. Eventually, I stopped being hard headed and listened to what God was trying to teach me. And He had to be the one to teach me. Took a whole year and a whole lotta heartbreak just come back to Him. Then it took a whole nother year to learn how to heal. Now I'm finally in the growth process.
All people go through things, should I be sympathetic? Yes probably. I can see now that some are not as strong as others and one of three things happens. Seek ways of escape to forget what your going through like I did and end up just as weak. End up going through the same things and get frustrated and you're still weak. Come out of the situation and learn from it, get stronger and go through something else to strengthen another weak area.
The devil will always make a fool out of you. He don't like you and he's better at the sin game. The only way to win is not to play. You end up in the same situation that brought you to the altar the first time or worse.
Even though my best friend took a major break from me, she was always there. And she still loved me even though I know she got mad frustrated at my stupidity. To this day, she's still there even long distance. I'm learning how to not be there and be there at the same time. Always loving, always praying and still here.
