So many things going on can't seem to slow down and loving ever bit of it...don't even know where to start there has been so much going on sometimes everything in my head is going so fast i cant even get it out in word. It's like I'll be talking and then jump to something else and people are like wait where did that come from and what happen to what you where just talking about...whats worst is i will have already forgot what i was talking about hahaha so that makes things a little more challenging. i got to keep my head to gather...Crazy but love it!!!!

I am still in need of funds for my Africa Trip!!! Like $3000 in Funds!!! Please Check out: http://hubpages.com/hub/HPCAFRICA

We kicked off Servolution April 3rd and it has been absolutely amazing!!! It actually started months and weeks before. And the Sunday before we...finalizing all the outreaches, gathered up supplies and checked off every list and making sure leader packets had every bit of information possible. We were doing 20 something hours days up until and throughout the 7days of servolution and i would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!

So many Church and people around the globe joined in on doing servolution in their local communities!!!

Reaching the Widows and elderly in assisted living and nursing Homes.
Showing the single Mom that there is a God who values her beyond her understanding!
Bring Watermelon to High school students letting them know that they matter to God & they can be used by Him even if the are young.
Loving on Foster Care kids letting them know that there is hope and future planned for them by a Loving God!
Cleaning up the trash along the streets in the intercity.
Feeding the service men and women, who protect our communities,
Passing out Gum Downtown to Business men and women encouraging them!

Servolution:
Isn't just a 7day thing it's a way of living, it's a lifestyle!!!

Africa Bound!!!

I have a wonderful opportunity to go to Africa May 27th -June 6th 2009 with Student ministries and Serve team from Healing Place Church. We will be helping at the Healing Place campuses in Mozambique and Swaziland Africa.

We want to be available to what ever Pastor Ben & Susan Rogers (Swaziland) and Pastors Isaac & Carol Williams (Mozambique) need & to be a blessing to the people in the community. We will be doing lots of outreaches in the communities surrounding the campuses loving on the kids, some leadership training and possible help with hosting a Pastors Conference!!! We may also get a chance to visit and help at care points set up with Children's Cup. Who are caring daily for the orphans and widows, providing education, medical care as well as providing them with meals.

I would like to you give you the opportunity to be apart with out having to get on a plane and I would be so honored to have your support. The total cost for the trip is $3500 and the trip is fast approaching!! I know that $3500 is an overwhelming amount but whatever you feel led to give is much appreciated, it could be $5, $25, $50 or even $100. So please be in prayer.

If 35 people give $100 the trip would be covered.

I need $2000 in the Next TEN DAYS!!!! We need to purchase the Plane tickets.

The balance of $1500 is Due APRIL 20^th, 2009

Your prayers for our team as we prepare and as well during our travel time is much needed. I appreciate your support with finances and prayers or just prayers!!!

It's Christmas, it's Christmas!!!!

2008-12-25T05:47:00.000-06:00

Today is the big day!! Its bout 545am and I spent the night @ my parents with Lacy. I am wide awake and present time won't be for a couple hour probably fam likes to take their time :(...but what's new I haven't been sleeping much the past two nights I didn't even go to bed till 3am wide awake and I got up @ 730 and 6.I'm not sure how many days I can go with only getting a few without much sleep...since sunday till today I have gotten a total of 17 hours of sleep out 92 hours . Dang that's crazy! I would usually be getting bout 32 or so hours, that's like double the sleeping time I could of had.
Anyway I have been super busy with the christmas holidays. Yesterday morning I made 6 bread puddings...yum and tons of french bread just for that. I do love to bake and I dream to one day have a massive kitchen(well not to big, but rather large compared to most ppl) equipped with industrial ovens like almost having a side room just for ovens...I'm just talking like 2 with 4 or 5 shelves. Plus large but standard ovens in the main kitchen as well as a rather large GAS cook top. Gas is so much easier to control the heat, not sure why but I really like it better.
So anyway with all this baking and cooking stuff I do love...I could not have a bakery or restaurant after this I confirmed my reasoning. It would kill me...just doing it for a few days and my back and a specially shoulders are so tight. Like unbelievable like sometimes when I run, well most times, my shoulders get so tight I have to stop cause I can breath. That is how this feels, it terrible. Like when I was driving to moms last night I realized it was a consent pain that I could not relieve. Right now I'm still laying down now sure how tight I am I'm sorta uncomfortable cause I'm not in my bed. So I might bake a little today but hope to just rest with the fam...

The first night that I could not sleep I was watching tv, I caught the tail end of a movie about the birth of Jesus. One on Mary's last lines was so profound...right have the birth of Jesus Mary says to joseph "He will never be ours alone" wow that alone has so much meaning. We can't be selfish about our Jesus and the love that he has for us has his children. We have got to share and express his love to the world and it starts in your world the people that your in contact with daily or weekly. When we think or hear world I think we tend to think missions and other countries and forget about the faces we see in our own city daily. If we are not willing to reach them how could we dare think that God would us to reach other faces in other countries!?! THINK!!!!!
Everyday is an opportunity to reach someone and share the love of Jesus!!!
Remember acts speak...watch your acts u never know who's watching.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

what a year!!!

2008-12-15T10:15:00.000-06:00

STRESS TEST

2008-03-11T08:35:00.004-06:00

I am not sure exactly how it works, but this is amazingly accurate. Read the full description before looking at the picture.

The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital.

Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.

The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing. Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a vacation.

Today i have been driving it for a month i feel like this all just happened the other day...its so weird in a way...if i could go back and change any thing it would have been not to get in a wreak....now when i see a wreak it brings back the feels that i felt, which is so weird!! i have been back to Collage Dr. sorta scary and i have been super paying attention to the road and cars in front of me every where!!!

Die and you're under arrest! Britain's most stupid laws!!

2007-11-07T09:10:00.000-06:00

i found this on yahoo's new page today...crazy!!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071106/od_afp/britainlawsoffbeat

Tue Nov 6, 2:19 PM ET

Queen Elizabeth II's speech in the British parliament Tuesday may have been routine but at least nobody got bored to death. That would have been against the law.

Dying in parliament is an offence and is also by far the most absurd law in Britain, according to a survey of nearly 4,000 people by a television channel showing a legal drama series.

And though the lords were clad in their red and white ermine cloaks and ambassadors from around the world wore colourful national costumes, at least nobody turned up in a suit of armour. Illegal.

Other rules deemed utterly stupid included one that permits a pregnant woman to urinate in a policeman's hat and murdering bow-and-arrow-carrying Scotsmen within the city walls of York, northern England.

A law stating that in Liverpool, only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for UKTV Gold television out Tuesday.

Nearly half of those surveyed admitted to breaking the ban on eating mince pies on Christmas Day, which dates back to the 17th century and was originally designed to outlaw gluttony during the rule of the Puritan Oliver Crowmell.

The laws and other regulations were culled from published research into ancient legislation that has never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete.

Respondents were given a shortlist and asked to vote.

Most ridiculous British law:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent)

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (six percent)

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (four percent)

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (four percent)

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5 percent)

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (three percent)

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent)

So i Had Called Trice a little before i lefted the House to get him up and to tell him that he need to get on the road Cause i was a bout to leave My House...haha silly boy i call him around six to ask him if he was on the Road and he said he was still in bed...he thought i was going to the house after i had told him last night that i was not!!! Yea i was about to pass Grosse Tete,LA at this time...i stopped in Rayne, LA for Him to get caught up with me!!! not a bad trip... we go to Conroe around 11:30.... hold up i got to plug my phone before it dies. OK so Stacy Smith, Dads Boss, who used to Live in BR with His Family Before they Moved for his Job...took us to his new house to See the family and the house of Course!!! Got to see Lake Conroe...Can't Wait to Go Jet Skiing!!!
so i put my Car in the Shop...well the story is the Road Hit the bottom of my Car when i was leaving My Friend's house coming out of the Drive Way...it's a gravel driveway and they where repaving the the road you pull out on, that's the story...oh yea so my catalytic converter cracked and so i am getting a new one put in. I'll pick it up Monday on my way back home!!
so today i am not done driving...when dad gets off work we will be getting back in to the car a driving up to Ft.Worth,TX...Trice and I are just chilling at Dad's Apt. Tomorrow is Conan's Sweet 16th Birthday!!! well he's a boy so is it sweet 16 for him or maybe is it like ... oh i don't know!!! lol

Can You Believe!!!

2007-08-04T18:42:00.000-05:00

its already four days in to august...i love summer but so far i have not been to the beach in two years so sad.but you know what i am going to plan my self a big beach trip for next year!!! the other day i just could not wait until the weather to get cooler.
so today i got to hangout with Trice and Tyler a little bit today while my car got an oil changed!! way to may ppl out shopping today!! TAx day was today and yesterday!! 4% off the Reg 9% state tax some good savings if only it was the whole 9% off.
Christmas is half way here i am not sure i am ready. Are you Ready?!? no taxes would sure help us out on all that shopping!!

2007-08-01T17:32:00.000-05:00

Well here i am and not sure of what to say... umm i was wondering how much can you get from riding the bike at the gym?! they have two different kinds - one looks more like a regular/speed bike and the other is more a chair that has a TV and pedals in front. I would think you would get more out of the first one...thats the one i have been riding 5miles when I make it to the Gym.

2007-07-27T11:37:00.001-05:00

i totally did not go to the Gym last night but i did make dinner and mow the back yard and part of the side...i would have done the whole yard but i started @ 8 and it got to dark. its kinda hard to mow in the dark, but i was about to pass out anyway...mowing the yard is a good work out!!!
My sister, Lacy nannies for a family that were good friends with and it is mexican night at their house!! i am so excited i love Mexican food...Taco night!!!!!

2007-07-23T18:34:00.000-05:00

today was kind of a blur but not...when i woke up i started playing the most addictive game on my phone, then i put a load of laundry on to wash and got ready to meet up with Claire @ hobby lobby...after shopping...we ate Mexican around 11:15am that's kinda early for me but i was starving!!! then i went to mom and layed down for a nap i was so exhausted...then i had to get up and get moving i have to be at the dentist for 2pm...just for a cleaning but i have 4 cavities(i knew about 2 of them) that they are going to fix in a couple weeks. so sad
guess what though you should be so proud of me i went to the GYM after the dentist... i rode a bike for 5 miles in 30 min and walked about 1mile in 15 min...i am getting off to a good start at the gym this week i am so excited!!!

Home

2007-07-21T20:13:00.000-05:00

I made it home...and i didn't sleep, that's an 8hr drive...i didn't drive at all this time!!! well i drove home from church...mom had to stop by before we could go home. no i don't live @ home but my car was there.
i must go for know and get ready for tomorrow...i got get my beauty rest...HAHAHA

To Long...

2007-07-20T19:18:00.000-05:00

well i really have been super busy with work and life...i haven't even been able to make it to the gym since the beginning of May. that's really sad...every week i would tell my self that i was going to start the next week usually because that week i had things to do at night or i was not feeling well, not because i didn't want to go i want to go badly but knew i just couldn't make it. so i am going to start this next week!!!
well i took yesterday and today off work to drive to Texas to bring my youngest brother Conan, to stay with family for a couple of weeks. so my mom and youngest sister, Juliette, Conan and I started off yesterday morning ...haha i went to bed @ 12am and woke up around 4:15 am i was wide a awake...weird i usually have trouble in the morning getting up so i took my time...Juliette had told me that she was getting up at 4am she didn't call until 5am...polish my nails YAY!!! i got to moms around 5:30 and finally got on the road @ 6:30am. we got to Rayne, LA and had Breakfast @ Frog City Cafe YUMMY! Dad had told us we should stop there.
Anyway so we took trice's Car which is a 5speed...HAHA the first and last time i drove stick shift was i think October, so anyway defiantly fun getting on the interstate but not to bad. then we got into traffic again not to bad. we got to conroe,Tx that's were dad works, well it was sorta wet and raining...yea this is how it goes we're in conroe stopped at a light going up hill, Conan says MOM we're on a hill, and i am thinking no big deal right. and they both start telling me what i need to do, sorta kinda scared me a bit, so the light turned green and i was tyring my best to do what they had told me and i sorta peeled out and sorta did a little fish tail thing but not bad...it was so funny i couldn't stop laughing, everyone was laughing. then mom was getting a little upset with me cause i kept stalling cause they keep telling me what to do, bad idea. (NO Damages to the Car)we made it to dad's work...we where later than we had thought so he couldn't leave to go to lunch with us cause one of his meetings had started but we got to see his office and meet some of his Co-works.
So yea i let mom have the keys back for a while, driving 5speed is hard work, it really makes you tense like i think i am going to need an adjustment.
we made it to Ft Worth around 6:30 what a long day but it was sorta fun. longer than it should have been but not bad.
today i have been just hanging out at grandmothers and watching movies with my youngest cousin, eight below and night in the Museum...great movies. had dinner with the Family to night. Good times!! maybe we'll go see the Hairspray movie later tonight, we'll see.
i'll be driving home tomorrow short trip...i have two more of these in August, the first one is for my great grandmothers Birthday she will be 100years old!!! So Cool!!! Then my Cousin Micah is getting married two weeks later...

so it's been awhile!

2007-05-30T16:40:00.000-05:00

What a weekend!!!!

2007-04-23T17:43:00.000-05:00

It all started Friday @ 4 pm, i left to go on a water giveaway with the serve team @ highland and the interstate, then i went home took a little nap then got up watched Bones and Number3 did some laundry. well i left the house about 10:45pm to run to walmart to pick up one thing before going back to the church for the Bar outreach @ 11pm- well they only had two lanes open so I nicely asked one of the workers to open some more lanes cause the lines where both at least 10 ppl long....she informed me that only two lanes would stay open after 11pm and that the rest of them would go home :( well i didn't have time to stay so i left, bought nothing and i really do not want to ever go back!!!!!! i had to be sweet and christlike not just b/c i was wearing a HPC serve shirt but b/c she could come to church someday!!!
Anyway after loading up with iced waters and Capri suns and praying we headed to one of the local bars on the LSU campus. all the ppl leaving the bars were so excited about the Capri suns. After we cleaned out the ice buckets and put everything back in its place. i finally crawled into my wonderful bed around 3:30am, i wasn't really tired until then.
About 9am my phone rang it was my little sister, Juliette asking if i was going to my little brother, Conan's production. well i thought at the time that i was on to work this weekend so it was a no.
Good thing she called me i had to be at the church for 10am to go on the wheelchair tennis tournament outreach, that was really cool to see these ppl that didn't let their disability hold them back from doing something they love, one of the differences is that the ball can bounce twice. Many came from other countries, i met some from France.
so i got home about 2pm took another little nap, then i got ready to go to work, HAHA not very funny but i really thought i was on to work this weekend and i found out that i am on for next weekend!!!
so i want to my friend Claire's house they were having a party for her and her twin brother for their birthday!! then @ 6:30 went to meet up with the family to Go to a production that my little brother, Conan was in. it was such a cute little production, i am really glad i was able to go, then we all went to eat @ Deangelos!!
not done yet...Sunday i got up and went to church for the 8am service, then i went home baked a cake and then meet up with Claire and her family to go to the diversion Canal to meet up with her boyfriend, John and his family. along with some other friends like me, we had a blast!!
Monday i so slept in and then weeded one of my flower beds,got a little more sun, then headed to pick up the kids from school. i babysit mon and tues. then headed to the Gym

2007-04-19T16:33:00.000-05:00

i am still really new at this blog thing...so today was a great day!!!

Think Raw...Healthy!!

2007-04-18T15:34:00.000-05:00

So i have been thinking...if we would eat healthy raw oraganic foods we would save our selves from sickness. This is big if we would eat normal healthy portions we wouldn't have the obestiy problems. so it is going to take a lot of will power. you know everyone says organic is $$$ but if you eat normal portions then it wont be so much!!! and we should so eat kosher... fish for instants has to have scales and fins...if they don't then they will absorb the toxins they release in the water YUK!!!!

my first blog!!

2007-04-17T09:50:00.000-05:00

HAHA i totally had something great to say on here but i forgot what it was...so yea right now i am content...i think...anyway i have been going to the gym 4 nights a week... cause thats when i have time,excepted when i have to work late...i have been trying to run these past couple of weeks but my knees have been killing me...really it's been walking with a little running here and there...my lungs are having a little trouble keeping up right now, i did better last night i was able run a little long between walking.
so i went to pick up my bridesmaids dress yesterday for my friend Kristin's weding that is in May!! i have to get it tailored...i am so nervous...i knew i was going to have to but still it's nerve wracking...i will survive!!! it's really not that much just a little needs to be taken in the top and maybe a little off the bottom so i don't step on it. it's really Pretty!!!
