The joy of packing...

okay well not entirely true...lol! It is hard work especially when you are the only one to pack it all. Yeah the men have to work the jobs so we can move so I have to pack all the stuff. The harder part, knowing that I have to get boxes at Wally World and it is raining harder and harder by the minute. It's like okay Lord is this a cute joke that you have with me? It rained the entire week when we moved into this house and then it starts raining the day I start packing. Thank goodness it is not going to rain when we actually move everything.
The kids are adjusting well to the idea of moving again. They are very happy as are the rest of us. I definitely hurt my back packing earlier but I have a job to do and that has never stopped me before. Pain is a way of endurance. I am a very stubborn person and I guess the Lord built me that way for a purpose. God is gracious and things look good right now. Thank the Lord for the Calm in the Storm! Have a great rest of the week whatever you do!

I feel like I am going to loose my head...

That's right you finally read what I am thinking about myself. Take a privileged seat and please have ears to hear...I know God is in control I really do i suppose that is why I feel as if I have no control whatsoever about what is going on. We have to move before Christmas so we are house hunting tomorrow. I had a most unpleasant run in with our *current* land lady yesterday. I informed her that we had no money to pay for rent in December that we needed all the money we have to move. (yay for me I told the truth) well, it got ugly. The deposit is not to be considered a payment for rent, but it also says in the lease that she holds the deposit until all debts are settled. Well there you have it...she already has my money. I am not paying this woman another dime! She orally promised me to have the windows fixed while we were living here. That is why we agreed to move in the home in the first place. They were not fixed, gang we are talking about holes in the glass broken windows, shattered windows and there are way more than a couple that are broken. We have put a double layer of thick plastic over most of the windows to try to keep the heat in the house. We were also told the stove top would be fixed, guess what it isn't. One knob on one burner and the other knobs went unreplaced. Oh wait I was promised front door copies of the key I never got the Front door key so we have had to use the side door. I bet the university would not be happy if they found out the condition the home is in that she is renting to Foreign Exchange Students...Maybe she will just let me move out instead of mess with my family further...I am sure she would not want me to tell this all to her and to the proper channels.
I have to get Alex to his Pedi Ortho on Monday and I pray that it will not cost too much as it will be eating into the moving money...what a lovely life we live. On the good side Marc gets paid two days before Christmas. I am sad to be honest...a poor lil fake 1 ft tall tree for Christmas decorating in the middle of the house. I guess it is a good thing. Have you ever had those days where you wonder if you were really suppose to live this life anymore?

A New Day

After going through a rough night and knowing my decision to confront this old friend was the right thing...I realize, it was just another person bogging me down with her issues that will never decide to change because she loves her misery. It really saddens me when people like that don't want to know the truth.

Jesus came here to set us free from sin and death. Then people refuse him and do their own thing and think there will not be consequences in the end. People get real, it's all about Jesus and his ministry on this Earth. After this life we do have accountability and you know what no one else can stand for you before him and tell him why you did what you did and why you wasted your time here.

I confronted this "so called" friend about her drinking...of course the immediate response of an alcoholic. She has written me out of her life. Why? because I told her she needed Jesus not a bottle. Fine, she said c-ya as if she never wanted to speak to me again. I wrote back and said yes I think we will not be speaking again. I told she was going to go to hell and I was going to heaven...Probably sounds harsh but it is true. She does not know Him as savior and she claims she does not want to know Him. I have decided to just pray for God to intervene in her life. She has had many problems and many broken marriages and she is living with a guy she is not married to and has his child, her only child. She is teaching this child about how to beat up men and how to be sexy at 6 years old. sad. :(

How many people do you love and care about that are in the same situation? That are going a different way because they don't know Jesus? Have you considered just praying for them? What are you going to say about the lost ones when you face Him?

Some people drive me crazy!

Sometimes you think you know a person and then you find out you really don't. Last week or so, I had a conflict with a person I have known for many years. I mean like I went to school with this girl so let's say 15-16 years. Granted when I left town we were not on the best of terms. Her and I were doing better I thought anyway. Wrong! She said something very wrong publicly on my facebook page. Thankfully no one else saw it. I confronted her with the issue and told her that if she was going to make remarks to me like that she could no longer talk to me. I find out today that she "unfriended" me because of what I said.
My response now is okay whatever! She and I are totally different now. She is into party and drinking all the time like we were still in school and I am more refined. Anyway, I kinda wonder why she did it in the first place. I talked with her brother and he said she does stupid bad things when she is drunk and that she runs her mouth. It frustrated me but I guess some people will never change....
