Fluffy-freak-out-moment!!!

Sooooo the other day I decided to measure my waist to see if its gotten any smaller. So i'm measuring annnnnnd lo and behold, MUCH TO MY SHOCK AND DISMAY, the measuring tape would ONLY go half of the way around my waist!!! I like, FREAKED OUT!!! I was like, OMW, here I thought I was downsizing and I've actually been INCREASING, sooooooo much to the point that the WHOLE entire measuring tape doesn't even fit around my waist!!!
.
It was soooooo weird!!! I was just like, it doesn't seem like I look any bigger when I look at myself in the mirror...which is QUITE often you know!!! I was just like, MAAAAAN...do I have that good of self-esteem that I don't even notice weight gain in the mirror????
.
Annnnnnnnd just before  had a total and complete HEART ATTACK...
The OTHER HALF of  measuring tape comes flying around me...
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Somehow, half of the measuring tape got caught in the waistband of my skirt!!! OH THANK GOD!!! That woulda been HORRIBLE!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!

Are YOU a brat???

I was driving in my car one time, listening to Family Life Radio, and the woman that does it at night is a single young lady, Joy McBride, and she said something that I just HAD to share with you all, because it really helped me annnnnnd most likely if it helped me there is someone else reading this that needs to hear this too...
.
Joy said on the radio that she had been driving through a parking lot earlier that day when something happened that really shook her up. She as she was driving a lil girl with her mom just ran out into the street in front of her car. She said stopped the car in time and the mom reached out, grabbed the lil girl and started yelling at her. She said the lil girl starts crying and she was getting ready to start driving again when AGAIN the lil girl just starts to RUN in front of her car!!!
.
AGAIN the mom REACHED out and grabbed her in time and this time even more yelling at her to not just run into the street. She said to her complete and utter amazement, the lil girl NOW just threw herself onto the ground into a full blown TANTRUM!!! She said it was just like this lil girl has NO IDEA that the reason her mommy is stopping her from running was to keep her from DANGER!!! It was to STOP her from getting hurt!!! She said she was just sitting there in her car like, WOW!!! Probably thinking something a long the lines of WHAT A BRAT!!!
.
Buuuuut she said as she was thinking about it, God really began to speak to her and tell her that she does THE SAME THING in her own life. He stops her from something and she starts throwing a FIT because she is NOT having her way and she has NO IDEA that God is just looking out for her!!!
.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd at that very moment I was basically in my own lil tantrum myself so I was like WOW...OKAAAAAY GOD...I got it!!! You guys, we gotta STOP being SPIRITUAL BRATS!!! We've got to learn to except that when GOD STOPS us from something, he is just looking out for us!!! He is just PROTECTING US!!!!
 
That little girl couldn't understand, NORMALLY she could just go across the street, buuuuuuuuuut TODAY there was danger!!! Sometimes God holds us back because there is DANGER AHEAD!!! Sometimes its just not the right time because something needs to move out of the way and sometimes it is just altogether NOT his will because he has something else for us...WE don't know, because we can't see what he can see...we just have to TRUST HIM!
.
A well disciplined child knows, If Daddy says NO, the answer is NO!!! They may not like it, buuuuuuuuuuuuut they OBEY!!! We need to be well disciplined children of God. If God says NO, if God stops you, if God is holding you back, Don't have a tantrum...don't throw yourself on the floor in a fit...
Don't be a BRAT!!!
 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3: 5-6)

Another cRaZy Wednesday...



So I always like to have a treat to give the kids when they get off the van and go home at the end of the night, its kinda a threat to them to behave on the way home buuuuut I mean, lets be honest, in the ALMOST NINE YEARS I've been doing this, I think I ONLY have actually NOT given them treats like twice...and more than likely it was cuz I was in a bad mood that I ACTUALLY didn't give it to them!
.
 Weeeeeeelllll the kids LOOOOOVE Mexican candy, they've requested it many times, therefore, the last several weeks I've been buying the big O bulk bags from Food City and they've been VERY pleased with this!!! Last night in the van on the way to church they were asking me what the treat was this week and I said, CANDY!!! They were like, Mexican candy??? I'm like, YUP!!! They're like, AGAIN??? Its ALWAYS Mexican candy don't you have anything else? I'm like, Nooooo...they're like griping about it...Soooooooo I'm like, OMW, you guys, I just remembered, I DID BRING ANOTHER KIND OF CANDY!!!! They're like, YOU DID??? I'm like, YES!!! I don't IF you guys have ever heard of it before buuuuuuuuut its called...

He feels SO HAPPY when he gets to help someone out and he was saying that earlier in the week he had changed someone in our church's alternator for them...AND it just made him feel SO HAPPY!!! Soooo i'm just sitting there tying away the sermon for Bro. Earl and in my mind im just kinda thinkin, Okaaaaay, that's coo... Cuz I'm SURE i'll be able to MAKE MY PASTOR HAPPY!!!!! AHAHAHA!!!

I was like, OH NO!!!
.
Thankfully, I made it home buuuuuuuuuuuuuut as soon as I started my car up again it wouldn't start! I was like, AWWWWWW MAN!!!

So several years ago, we're on our way home from a youth conference one time and its pretty silent in the van. There are a few people quietly havin conversations and everyone else is just dozin in an out of sleep and I just burst into laughter and everyone looks at me and someone is like WHAT ARE YOU READIN???

What do you do when there's a black out???

I remember a time when I was 18, My sister and I went to a youth camp in Oklahoma. The dorm buildings  were solid brick buildings with now windows anywhere. One night as we were sleeping in our very uncomfortable bunks, I suddenly woke up to pitch blackness. I mean it was SOOOO DARK I could NOT even see my hand in front of me. As scared as I was, I knew from the whispers around me that there was a storm that had caused a black out which caused every light in the campgrounds to go out. It was dark my friends, DARK!!!
Even though I was scared and uncomfortable with the lights being out, I figured I would just go back to sleep, after all that made the most logical sense to do right??? I'm closing my eyes to go back to sleep when I hear a whisper, Mary! Mary! It was my sister, she was like, lets go to the bathroom...I'm like, just go to sleep! She's like, No lets go! I'm like, we can't see ANYTHING, there is no way we're going to make it out of this big room of bunks, into the hall and THEN find the bathroom in this pitch blackness! She's like, NO LETS GO!
.
Well sure enough WE GOT LOST! I'm telling you all it was one of the scariest feelings ever! We were literally lost in out own dorm room. You have to understand that per a room there are about 30 bunks set up and we were completely lost amongst them. We had no idea where our beds were anymore or where the door to the hallway was.
.
Holding hands we felt along the beds and walls, tripping over stuff till we finally made it to the hallway. Once in the hallway we were greeted the same blackness. Now we had no idea which room was ours OR how to get to the bathroom. We had no idea what to do as we walked along.
.
 Struggling through the darkness, we suddenly saw a tiny sliver of light. We realized that it was coming up from the dorm door. It was light from the moon seeping through the bottom door. It was such a tiny bit of light but to us it may as well have been a torch shining through. Thinking we could open the door all the way and let more moonlight in the dorm to find our way around.  Excitedly, We RAN to THE LIGHT!!!

However, before we actually got to the door the dorm mom came through with a HUGE flashlight! It was a good thing to because those doors had an alarm on them in case anyone tried to sneak out during the night!!! lol
.
The other day I was remembering this happening all those years ago. And it was SO VIVID in my mind how in that UTTER BLACKNESS, that little sliver of light underneath the door was such a welcomed sight that we actually RAN TO IT!!! We didn't think twice about it if weshould stay in the dark hallway where we were lost.. We RAN TO THE LIGHT!!!
.
And it got me to thinking,  in this crazy life that we live, we NEED to be running to THE LIGHT!!!
.
There are times in our lives when go through hard times.  Trials that we battle, storms that literally turn into black outs in our lives! We have no idea what happened. One day we're living a normal life, then suddenly we wake up one day and open our eyes to total and UTTER BLACKNESS!!! We can't see in front of us or behind us or anywhere around us. Its dark. Its black and we feel lost in the sense that we have know idea where we are going or what we should do to find our way there.
.
Let me tell you something that I've learned to do in those times, I JUST LOOK FOR THE LIGHT!!! The Bible says in Hebrews 8:9 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world..." My friends, JESUS IS OUR LIGHT!!! When life gets hard, JUST RUN TO JESUS!!! Read His word! Talk to the man of God in your life for guidance. When your going through a trial, now is NOT the time to start skipping out on church services and avoiding your pastor. Instead, emerge yourself into every church service possible and linger in God's presence. Seek Godly council from your God-given authorities, elders and mentors. RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!
.
Imagine in your mind, stumbling blindly through your problems. You don't know what to do or where to go  and suddenly you see just a SLITHER of light shining out to you. What is it? Oh LOOK...it's YOUR BIBLE...HEEEEEYYY... just a corner peeking out under a pile of papers on your nightstand. Don't just IGNORE that little slither of light as you continue to stumble around the dark hallway of confusion in your life. That's THE LIGHT...The Word of God...RUN TO IT!!!
What do you do when there's a black out???
YOU RUN JESUS!!!
YOU RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!
"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light..." (Isaiah 60:19)

This is for my husband, my wife, my baby...

Sooooooo this past Sunday at our church was Friends and Family Sunday on the first Sunday,  we have one service and serve food afterwards and its been great!!!
.
We take turns cooking for the church and this past Sunday, my brother John and his wife Liz cooked. Now, John is a GOOD COOK!!! He has his own Take and Bake business, John's Italian Kitchen, so LPC KNEW we were going to be eating GOOOOOOD!!! But the HILARIOUS thing to me was this...
.
So i'm helping serve right? Well everyone goes through and eats, and by the time you finish serving the first time, there were people coming through for the second time, and then THIRDS for some...buuuuuuut the part that was SOOOOOO HILARIOUS was that everyone had an EXCUSE for WHY they were coming through...
.
This is NOT for me, this is for the kids! I'm getting this for MY WIFE, she's pregnant...I mean she just had the baby! This is for my MOM! This is for my son! This is for my mother-in-law! This is for my baby! This is for my husband! "I'm NOT eating all this, I'm SHARING with my husband! Then the hubs comes through, Oh you know, you better give me a little extra, I'm sharing with MY WIFE!!! Buuuuuuut NO ONE could just say, man this is GOOD FOOD I WANT MORE!!! AHAHAHA!!!
.
 FINALLY Sam came through for the umpteenth time and was like, I'm getting this for my kids or something like that! I was like, MAN SAM, I need a husband and some kids so I have and excuse to KEEP EATING!!! Then he came through ONE MORE TIME, Annnnnnd I was like, OH WHATEVERRRR!!! Who's this for now??? Your future grandchild????AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(I think he really was getting stuff for people) 
NO MATTER THE EXCUSE...
This is for...
 my husband, my wife, my baby,  my mommy, my grandkids, my dogs, my great, great, great, great, great, great, grandpa that died a 100 years ago, my ex-husband's sister...we tryin to witness to her,  my father in law that lives in New York city...airmailing it overnight to him...MY BABY DADDY...JOKE!
.
 No matter WHAT your excuse was, the FACTS REMAIN, about 45 people went through EIGHT POUNDS OF PASTA, plus SALAD, BREAD, drinks ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND DESSERTS!!!!

How to fall asleep!!!

Let's face it, some nights we all have trouble falling asleep. We toss and we turn, we flip and we roll until its time for a potty break, which usually ends up with a stroll to the kitchen, a look through the fridge and a midnight snack. Well at least that's how they go for ME! :)
.
I've always heard this saying growing up, "If you can't fall asleep, COUNT SHEEP!" I'm like, sheep??? What sheep? Where are they? This is AZ we don't just have sheep WONDERING through the desert. They'll either die of starvation for the lack of grass and water, or become DESSERT for a coyote. Count sheep, I just don't get it!!!! I asked my mom one time what that was supposed to mean and she explained to me that BACK IN THE DAY, people had herds of sheep and they would tell their children to picture the herd in their minds and to try and count them all and before they could count them all, they would fall asleep!
.
I'm like, hmmmm...maybe we could move up in the times and think of something a LITTLE more exciting!!! THEN my mom heard this saying...
"Instead of counting sheep, talk to THE SHEPHERD!!!"
.
I thought, that's REALLY GOOD!!! Why NOT talk to Jesus! However, I just recently learned something else to do that helps you fall asleep...AND I've done it and have had great success with so far! Soooooo I thought I would share it with you all!
.
 The tip is simply this; If you can't fall asleep at night, Go through the alphabet in order and think of ONE thing you are thankful for that goes with THAT letter! So basically, this is STILL talking to THE SHEPHERD but in a specific way...GIVING HIM THANKS!!! Only two times I have had to go through the alphabet twice and most of the time I don't even get through the whole alphabet before I am asleep!
.
Sometimes I like to switch things up so that I don't get into a rut and always thank God for the same exact things...you know like every night starting off with thanking God for Apples, Books, Cats and Dogs! Sometimes I'll thank God for in Alphabetical order for things about my family, or my friends or my church or my week and sometimes ill just do in general...tonight I'm going to try thanking God in Alphabetical order what I'm thankful about for STILL being single...HA!...it may be a, UH, LOOOOOONG night...OR maybe it'll just put me to sleep REALLLLLY FAST!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! JK!!! ;)
 
 Anyways, if you can't fall asleep one night, try this idea! I truly can't think of a better way to end my day than to think of different things to THANK MY GOD for!!! Have a blessed night and start THANKING!!! :)))
.

Another cRaZy Wednesday #596867312




YOU KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT...
WHEN CHURCH HASN'T EVEN STARTED
ANNNNNNNNNNND YOU'VE
ALREADY BEEN PEED ON!!!
.
True story People, one of these little girls is a CHRONIC pee-er...if that's a word??? LOL I'm suspicious that this is her mother's way of getting her a new wardrobe!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! She gets off my lap and there is a wet spot...I'm like, AAAAAAAHHHHHHH...NOW i'm gonna have to WASH MY SKIRT!!! I was hoping for a few MORE wears!!! Heeeeey don't be all judging me for not washing stuff EVERY time I wear them...washing them rapidly wears them out faster!!!
.
So yesterday, once again BEFORE church, Tommy, Kelsey and I are at the apartments, well one of the boys is sitting in the van like he's going, I know he's usually NOT allowed to go cuz his family is strict Muslim from the Middle East. I just look at him and before I can even say anything he's like, MY DAD SAID I COULD GO!!! I'm like OKAAAAAY then tell him to come out to the balcony of your apartment so I can talk to him...Yeah, I was being lazy, I had ran up like a kajillion flights already!!!
.
Sooooo his dad comes out on to the balcony annnnnd BOY did I ever regret telling him to come out!!! He was wearing his "PJs" which weren't exactly pajamas if you get my jist...LOL I was like, OH LORD have mercy on my poor eyes!!! I actually wanted to take my poor lil eye balls out and comfort them,  rock them in my arms and tell them everything was going to be ALRIGHT!!! BAHAHAHAAHA!!!
.
I'm like looking sideways shouting up, YOUR SON SAID, THAT YOU SAID, THAT HE COULD COME TO CHURCH TONIGHT! Is it ok???" He's like, oh no I didn't...But he has an accent so I can't really understand him...I'm like, You DID? Or you Didn't??? He's like, NO! I'm like okaaaaaay...walking sideways...bahaha...I thought MUSLIM'S BELIEVE IN MODESTY??? What's up with THAT??? Poor eyeballs...let mommy give you a bath!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
.
Then we had picked up some kids and were going to another apartment and on the way there Tommy is playing music and one of the boys, who is special needs, is like, TOMMY! Can you turn this song off???? I'm like, WHY??? The song is saying, "Grace wins, Grace wins, for the woman at the well, Grace wins! For me Grace wins!!" Etc... I'm like, is it cuz its Saying Grace? He's like, YEAH! I don't like her! And I don't why she keeps winning!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!
.
Annnnnnnnnnd this is THE GRAND FINALE story!!! So on most Tuesdays, I go to all the apartments and homes of the kids that come on Wednesdays, bringing them candy, cookies or brownies, to remind them that church is the next evening! I never give a specific time, because SOME PEOPLE, mistake my lovely car, THE HUNK, for a Taxi service.
.
WELLLLLLL ONE OF THE MOM'S, that DOES think i'm a taxi service had been texting me with whatever she needed me to...she ALWAYS says she'll give me gas money buuuuut for some odd reason, I have never actually gotten it from her...anyways, I rejected her last 10;30 PM phone call, due the last late night call which involved me pick her up from Greenway and 25th Ave...she hadn't made the bus annnnnnnnnnd I had ignored her text inviting me to a revival on Sunday from another Christian church that speaks in tongues, that she was invititng me to go with her too...which basically meant she wanted me to give her a ride to ANOTHER CHURCH...UHhhhh not happening sista...you wanna go to a church that speaks in tongues, you can go to MINE...liiiiike.. HEEEEEEEEY!!!
.
Soooooooo this lady is also obsessed with my cookies and brownies, I MEAN like, SHE LOVES THEM!!! She'll do anything for them..LOL  Sooooo texted her to let her know that I would be coming!!! This is my text...
 
.
Sooooo you read this first one...she's all excited...
.
Here is the NEXT ONE
 
I'm like, WHAAAAATTT??? LIKE really??? REALLY!??!?!!? I had a lot of things I wanted to say at that moment...buuuuuuuuuut I decided to be a CHRISTIAN!!! I've been learning to LOVE, buuuuuuuuuut to also be FIRM...and this mother has been the best teacher of me learning to do this...ahahahaha!!! Soooooo this was my response...
.
.
Soooooo that was on Tuesday evening!!! Last night after Bible classes, my sis tells me what was happening in the adult class since i'm helping in the kids class. She says that during thee adult teaching she pulls out a baggy of life savers out of her purse to suck on one. When she went to open the life saver it made this little crinkling noise. This SAME woman was sitting in front of my sis and she said that when she heard the crinkling noise she whirled around and said to my sister, ARE THOSE BROWNIES???
.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! I told you she likes MY BROWNIES...even IF they are SOFT!!! My sister was like, uh...noooo...it's a life saver, would you like one? She's like oh yeah, i'll take one!!! My sister was like, I MEAN did she really think I would be breaking out a brownie in the middle of the service??? I'm like, WEEEEEELLLLL I did see her sneaking pieces of FRIED CHICKEN during service one time!!!! AHAHAHA!!! YEAH FO REALZ PEOPLE!!!! I believe it was from Food City!!!!BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!! If your wondering if she is BIG, the answer is NO!!! Shes pretty small!!!! 
.
AnywayZ, whenever I tell my friends stories about her, they always say I have such patience...IDK how to explain it tho...its like I get soooooo annoyed at times....well 95% of the time...LOL.. I think I'm gonna go CRAZY... but then at the end of seeing her, I always give her a hug and say, I love you! And she always hugs me back tightly and says I love you too! And its like, I just see this bigger kid that came from a big, messed up life and is living the same messed up life she came from and when she says I love you back its like I know that I'm probably the only one that says it to her and if I don't put up with her,  If I don't love her, WHO WILL??? And then her kids will just grow up the same way she did and the cycle will just continue...
.
Before I end this post I have two prayer requests...
1. There is a 13-year-old boy from a Muslim family migrated from the Middle East he has been coming to church and last  night WAS his third service, he was lifting his hands and worshipping God! I just want to pray that God would give him a revelation and that he will be filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus name!!!
.
2.
There is a group of four kids who's family is also Muslim, they are from Africa and they want to come to church SO BADLY but are not allowed by their father because of their religious beliefs! I want to pray that God would soften their dad's heart and that God would make a way for them to come! Thank You all and GOD BLESS!!!
