Lord I Trust You!!!

Image found here.
Hey, It's this song I listen to on the radio in the morning on 90.5. They play gospel in the morning and I would here it almost every day I would get in the car. It blessed me so much so I decide to share. I looked it up it is called " I Trust You" by James Fortune & Fyia. Link to video here

Here are the lyrics and they are found here:
(spoken)
One of the most difficult things to do is
find yourself in a storm and
while in that storm it seems like everyone who you
thought you could count on has
well walked away; and
Sometimes it seems like even God Himself has
forgotten about you.
But in spite of it all you should still be able
to lift your hands and say
"Lord, I trust You

(verse)

Even though I can’t see and I can’t feel your touch
I will trust you Lord how I love you so much
though my nights may seem long and I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you I surrender to you

Bridge
So many painful thoughts travel through my mind
and I wonder how I will make it through this time

Chorus
But I trust you, Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life, makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you, I need to know you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain

I’ll trust you

Verse 2
Everything that I see tells me not to believe
But I’ll trust you Lord you have never failed me
My past still controls me will this hurt ever leave?
I can only trust you, no one loves like you do

Bridge
So many painful thoughts travel through my mind
and I wonder how I will make it through this time

Chorus
But I trust you, Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life, makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you, I need to know you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain

Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain

Health Food Goodies

Almond Butter is soooooooo Good!!

Hey these whole wheat, gluten free snacks are awesome
These little olive crackers are delish!!!
Fresh juice or rather fruit juices are always good.

So I am trying to find different snacks to eat. I went to the health food store and found several things but decided on Olive, tortilla chip that is a cracker. It has Black, Green, Kalamata Olives, Garlic, and Sea Salt. Can I tell you it's delicious. I am not eating cheese right now but they would taste great with some Queso cheese. UMMMMM. They have like 3 grams of Fiber. Okok then I got these crackers called Sticks and Twigs. It's whole wheat and flax seed with curry. It's good too. Well I like. I also go organic pineapple juice( it taste with regular pineapple juice to me) It was delicious. Last but not least I got a container of freshly ground almond butter. ummmmm I really don't like peanut butter so these freshly ground almonds will do the trick. Well so far that is my adventure in New Leaf ( our health food store). I brought some back to the office and all the females like the food but the males didn't. I wonder why that is? Umm something to ponder. Well if I find anymore goodies I will update cha.

It's Movie Time!!!!



During the holiday break I saw some great movies. Sherlock Holmes, this was a phenomenal movie by Guy Richie. It was smart and funny and action packed I can not wait for the next one to come out. It kept you thinking and trying to figure out the clues and how awesome the mind of Sherlock Holmes is to a new generation.If you have seen any of Guy Richie's movies you will not be disappointed.Image found here
Of course I fed into the hype and saw Avatar. It was so worth it and earned every bit of it's hype. It was visually stunning. A nerd like me is in awe of the technology and the creativity of these artist, this is not so much my expertise (3D that is) but I was very impressed by what I saw. The story line had been seen before but it didn't take nothing from the movie I loved it.
Lastly I saw the princess and the frog. It was nice to see a black princess. (spoiler alert!) But she was kinda a frog most of the movie. Besides that the music was ok but the story was sweet and exclude the magic very real life. The story promoted hard work to get what it is you want so that made it wonderful.

Now calling J873 at station 4!!!

Image found here.
I thought I was not going to make another post until tomorrow but, I have to talk about this, Ok my birthday was on the 4th of December and in Florida you have a month after your birthday to renew your tag. I usually do this online or go to one of the little places in town. So no I went the state building today. Note the day of the post, I am to the day. So when you go in you tell the receptionist what it is that you are there for and they give you a number in the category that you fall under. Simple right! Well no. There are 9 stations that you can go to but when I got there, their were only 4 stations open and the people there are looking at you like you are crazy. So I take my number and sit down. This was at 12:44. So all of a sudden on of the ladies is going to lunch, I assume and the number in the waiting area has grown to 30. I am like all I have to do is renew the tag that takes all of 5 to 8 mins tops. So I see these other people that I was clearly a head of. So then the nice guy that was giving the numbers out the people and myself left to go to lunch and was replace with this mean, none smiling lady. She gave attitude to everyone. So finally I get up there and the women was like registration. I thought oh no, then she says "drivers license" with an attitude. Then when I went to pay she says" we don't take visa" I was so glad that I had cash on me and then I was annoyed. Why does the state department of motor vehicles no accept visa, every one excepts visa. I get to my car and it's 1:40. I couldn't believe I waited an hour to to something that takes 5 to 8 mins. Yeah I learned my lesson next time I will renew it on time. I had to go and get a cookie after that. Ummmmmmmm I felt better.

American Grill!!



Now after our pampering we ate at American Grill right next door. The food was great. My mom loves this place

Not so Friendly Day Spa

So my mama and sister decided to beautify me ( I am already cute they just thought some minor enhancements would be fun) for my birthday/Christmas gifts. I really appreciate it mom and Candice. Ok I got my nails done, this is a first for me, I got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. Now the full set and pedicure should have been more fun, but it wasn't. My mom booked us an appointment at Millennium Nail and Day Spa ( yeah I said the place check it out may be they will treat you better). Now this is not usually where my mom gets her nails done, she just booked it because they had more people on staff and we would not have a long wait since it was three of us. Now I was excited because I was suppose to get a full set,pedicure and get my eyebrows arched( Mind you my first time for all of these things and it was New Year's eve. I wanted to look nice going into the new year) My nails were fine. The guy that did them was cool. The pedicure was great ummmm a massage and nail shape up ummmmmm I will definitely be doing that again. Well I guess you are like what's the problem. The front desk service was awful. I didn't get my eyebrows done because when I asked when was I schedule she was like your not and kinda left it like that, didn't ask any additional questions or even smile and say she would check. She was very cold. The spa experience was cold and unfriendly but the service was pretty good. My sister said she has had a better pedicure before. Later on the lady said I was booked and she didn't look in the right place my mama was like don't worry about it. They were so unfriendly. I even heard them talk about another lady after she left and they were kinda rude to the nail techs. I am not going back there again. I thought spas were suppose to make you feel like you are a queen or something and you are suppose to be pampered and treated super nice.Despite the unfriendliness I had a fun time with my mom and sister they are great fun. Glad my sister was here for the pedicure and girls day out, it was awesome. Apparently I am the only one that hasn't had this done.Look at me with nails!

Goodbye 2009! HELLO 2010!!!!!!

Image from here
Hey and Happy New year folks. I tried to make a post before the new year but hey... I didn't.
So pressing on to the new year. Yea! Well I still have other stuff that went on to blog about but they will come in later post, right now I must recap the lessons( very hard lessons) learned in 2009.

Lesson 1. This one is a big one and I had to really recover from it.
{ Most things are as they seem. Some times answers and realizations are right there in front of your face and since it is not what we want or what we think it should be, we stay in a state of denial. Sometimes the thing you are seeing about a situation or a person or a job or anything is actually what it is. Nothing more or nothing less.}

Lesson 2. Fear is dangerous. Reacting out of fear can damage relationships, friendships and hinder you from fulfilling some task that God has assign you. There are people out there that won't get the blessing they need if you are reacting out of fear because they need you to be fearless or to do it afraid.

Lesson3. Your life and life decisions directly affect some one else's life. It's not all about you. You might be but in a situation or a place to help some one and not for your own personal comfort. Sometimes if you are comfortable you are not paying attention to the ones around you that are uncomfortable. God wants us to help one another but we have to pay attention. Sometimes when we are out of our comfort zone can we really relate and help others.

Lesson4. Chill out! Ok thing do go bad but you can't react like a manic every time it does. I think that is the difference in immaturity and maturity how we respond in situations that life those at us.

Lesson 5. Get out of my head. I have like a dream world of how things should be with out looking at what is really going on. I am positive and generally optimistic but sometimes I think I am not applying it to the real situation in front of me. I think I stay and live to much in the dream world in my head. Apply the positive attitude to the real situations.

Lesson 6. Look at myself first. Ummmmmmmm Yeah this one stings a lot, but sometimes the problem is me and I need to learn to except that first before real change can happen or sometimes I am apart of the problems and I need to take responsibility for my part.

Lesson 7. Love Hard. ( Let me be specific. I don't mean fall in love hard, just love hard) If you love others hard all the issues you are dealing with might not seem so bad or some one will love you hard and help you with your issues as you have loved and help some one else.

Lesson8. Pray about everything, cause Jesus hears it them and delivers. Don't be afraid to pray big. Hey He can handle it.



Yep I learned more but I feel these made a huge impact.
Now some positives.


Positives 1. If you need a friend be a friend. I think I heard Charles Stanley say it. It makes since to me.

Positive 2. No matter how bad the day before was if you get the opportunity to see the next day Rejoice that the opportunity to make it better was granted to you, because some had a bad day and didn't see the next one.

Positive 3. Enjoy the journey. It's the fun part. When you reach the destination you will remember the journey so enjoy it.

Positive 4. If you are a Christian Jesus loves and covers you everyday. Things that could go way wrong don't and things that could go really bad never get that bad. If you are not a Christian Jesus loves you too. He died for you too! Come on over to the tent of Christ he will cover you too!

Positive 5. "Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it. You cannot travel within and stand still without." James Allen

Positive 6.
The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try and the faith to believe that it is possible. Richard M. DeVos

Positive 7. The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.


Well that's all I got.
