stories of a real life wonder woman

Today I want to share a little something with you and it will probably be short. A couple years ago I was really into the book "Captivating" By John and Stasi Eldredge. It is a book worth reading so is Stasi's new one called "Becoming Myself." Anyway in "Captiving" I think it was Stasi who says something along the lines of "God wants to show us (women) that we have an irreplaceable role to play in an incredible story." This has led me to look even closer at the women in the Bible over the years. The other day I started reading Matthew and I noticed that I had underlined the names of the women in Christ's genealogy. First I must say it blows my mind that women were even listed because back then a genealogy consisted of just the men. There were no family trees reaching out all over the place like we do now, instead its a list of father to son to father to son. And yet a few women are listed in Christ's anyway. Looking at it I noti

Just so you know I am posting this while E! Live from the Red Carpet is on commercial for the Grammy's. I love awards shows. Well watching them. I don't really think I would ever want to actually go. I 'm a bit of a hermit. I had a doctor's appointment this week and it was so good to laugh with my doctor about how good I am doing. It feels good to to hear him say I am the healthiest he has ever seen me. That put me in such a good mood. This week I have been sending videos to my brother Kenny. At least I hope they have been getting trough. My Skype doesn't always like to send messages or videos. It's annoying. But I send Kenny videos about silly things, sad things, really anything. Mostly I just hope he gets them and laughs because I am ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous. I love ridiculous things such as books, movies, or TV shows. You know what I am talking about. The things you watch and think "what is the point of this." I just love laughing at

I'm not sure what to write about. All I keep thinking to post about is how the 90's girl in me has been so happy this past week. See as a 90's girl there are two things I will always love, glittery gel pens and Jared Leto. This week at work the lady that sits next to me at the front desk got out a giant box of glitter gel pens in every color and I was in awe a little, ok, a lot. It's the type of collection I always wanted in the 90's. After discussing pens she gave me a few to use including some gold colored ones and I am so excited about it! Can't wait to write with them! Now, if you want to skip me talking about Jared Leto cause you don't know or don't care who he is then skip this next paragraph in which I briefly describe my undying affection for Jared Leto. Last Sunday and then yesterday Jared Leto won awards for best supporting actor in a drama for his role in Dallas Buyers Club . Last Sunday during the Globes I told my friend that I was text

I've been thinking for the past few days about things I am thankful for. Today I was reminded of one of those things in a round about way. See there is this little girl that sits in front of us at church. I've noticed that she likes to be between  her parents during the service. Now I am not going to say that I know why she does this. She could be doing this for a million reasons. But I remember being a little girl like her and I remember wanting to be where I saw love. So though that may not actually be her intention, that's what she makes me think. And this desire to be where we can visibly see love, I think, is a desire that we all have. Anyway, through her actions I was reminded about how I really do enjoy seeing my parents together. There was a point in my life when I realized how great it is that I get to see my parents showing love to one another. See I know that my parents aren't perfect and neither is their marriage. I know they both get so annoyed with the

So it's been cold here in the Midwest. I cannot deny that snow can be very pretty. But I am so sick of winter but I am one of those people who is sick of winter as soon as it starts because I am always cold no matter what. The only time I can recall not being cold in the least is when I was in Arizona and it was 110 aka the perfect temp for me. As you can imagine, the cold and cold makes me want to move back to Arizona. I feel like I was made to live in the desert or at the beach. In other news if the weather settles down I am going to another Pink concert this week. A friend of mine has tickets to a concert on Thursday in Wisconsin. But she can't go now because the show got rescheduled. So she contacted me and now I get to go. Pretty dang exciting. I just need the weather to behave and as weird as it might sound I am praying that it does. In the past few weeks people have been commenting on how good I look now that I am healthy. It feels really good to hear that. My skin i
