Just Breath...

 

It has been one of those weeks.. You know what I am talking about?  The long, can't wait til the weekend week, where hardly anything goes the way you expect it to and then it ends with a cold front and rain!  haha sounds about right!  But you know what?  I also have a lot to be thankful for in this crazy week.
First, let me tell you about Wednesday night... Weds was the start to my long days.. It was a busy day at work and I went to go vent with my best friend and that didn't go so well.  You see my best friend is not a believer in Christianity.  So when I bring anything up having to do with the gospel it doesn't go so well.  (But I love her to death and will continue to pray for her everyday).  So after our dinner, I decided to go spend some time in the bible.  I did that, read my chapters for my bible study, took some time to journal and prayed.  Then, I had a glass a wine, started to read my "fun" book and calmed down. I WAS READY FOR BED BY 10:15!!!  Oh but not so fast...

[Sidebar: For those of you who know me, you know I have an amazing group of friends from college.  During our days at A&M we were inseparable!!  I remember my first night with David, Matt, and Travis, Amber, Amy and Chelsea.  From that night on we were best friends. Five years now.  They are all like my extended family, my brothers and sisters that I can go to for anything.  When I first got my job in Dallas, I had no where to go and Matt let me stay in the extra room in his home until I could find a permanent spot.  The search was long because everything is expensive, and I'm frugal.  But David was looking for a place too so we decided to be room mates!  Only thing is, David has not moved all of his stuff, so he has not stayed at the house one night since we moved in 3 weeks ago... But Weds he at least came home after the STARS game.]

So David came home as I was getting ready to turn off the light and go to bed.  He came in laid on top of my covers (with his feet hanging off the end since he still had his shoes on) and decided he wanted to talk.  I have to say it was a blast!  David and I caught up, solved the worlds problems and had plenty of laughs.  I am so lucky to have a best friend and a room mate like David.  Even if he kept me up for 4 hours and made me miss my work out the next morning.  It was worth it for quality time with an old friend :)

                                                                      Me and my roomie: 

Needless to say if left me dragging on Thursday with another busy busy day.  Something on Thursday's to do list?  Get Tashard Choice to sign a picture for his eye surgeon and my boss, Dr. Harvey Carter . Yes, that's right, my boss did TC's eye surgery along with tons of other Cowboy players and staff.  In fact, he is the OFFICIAL EYE SURGEON of the Dallas Cowboys.  And let me tell you, Tashard is a stand up guy.  Not only did the guy that does his marketing bring a poster sized matted picture for him to sign for Dr. Carter, he also signed one for me!  AND he signed a football for my brother and sister's charity for their silent auction.  If you haven't heard about the Halo Society, please check them out!  They help abused and neglected foster children in Tarrant County.  They have one fundraiser a year and this year's is March 6th, sign up to go!  Thank you Tashard and Ray Salinas for all your help on Thursday!!

Well it's the weekend!  I have to go to a STARS game tonight for work, but I am really looking forward to relaxing, spending time with friends, and of course CHURCH on Sunday!!!  Yay!!

Bonfire.   What began as a trash heap in 1909 grew into a massive wedding cake design, which at its tallest stood 109 feet, 10 inches. Bonfire symbolized A&M’s burning desire to beat the hell out of t.u. It was a task of a monstrous size instituted and executed almost entirely by students over the course of a near-century.  It brought to together the Corps of Cadets, non-regs, residential halls, men, and women to build this monument to Aggie dedication and fervor. Bonfire became emblematic of Aggieland and held a meaning greater than just the desire to win a football game. It symbolized the Aggie spirit and a dedication and drive for building something greater than ourselves.   Those who saw it burn on campus have said there was nothing like it. The heat and flame was so much that it even burned their shadows into the ground. Those who built it can attest to the sheer amount of strength and manpower it took to construct a project of that size and magnitude. It was absolut

Follow Me

 Follow Me..   That's what God asks us to do.. and as believers we say, of course we will follow you!  But what if he tells us to go some where we don't want to go?  Like Jonah being called to preach to those who will persecute his people.  So he fled.  And you know how that story goes; the whale in God's mercy gets him back to dry land; and when Jonah finally followed his calling, on the first day in his journey the entire town repented.. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to live in Dallas, 12 years now actually.  I love Dallas!  The food, the shops, the fashion... And since living here, I've fallen in love with one of the most important things, my church.  The people at Watermark have been AMAZING!  They've poured into me, encouraged me, and thanks to a bible study last March, helped me get over one of the darkest times in my life.  Helped me to receive forgiveness (:  God has been an extremely loving father my time in Dallas...  And even BEFORE I li

Let Go and Let God!

"When the past is still guiding your present, it also shapes your future.  That is way too much power."  There is something bigger ahead and something greater in store for you.  However, the past has a pulling power that can distract, delay, and even destroy your destiny.  Instead of giving the past power, give it perspective.   You must press onward and refuse to look back by destroying the bridges that connect you to your P.A.S.T.  What P eople, A ssociations, S ituations and T hings are hurting you instead of helping you?  What do you nee d to leave behind in order to move forward? Who do you need to forgive in order to push forward? Last night at the Porch, my friend Dave Sterrett, spoke to us with a message on forgiveness and letting go of the past.  Now before I continue, let me clarify it is okay to reminisce and talk about the past and experiences. But when your attitude changes to resentment, "if this would have happened then..." or "if he wouldn'
