Blogging Block

So, every writers worst fear is called 'writers block', where you are on a roll with tons of fresh ideas, and one day you sit down at your computer to work on another chapter in your book, and you realize you are stuck. Just..stuck. You have nothing to write. Absolutely nothing..

I know, it's a very bleak experience.

Well, I have some serious block going on, but not with my writing..it's my blogging! I haven't taken any exciting pictures in the last week, I've had nothing but depressing things happen, and other than that, there is nothing to write about..I'm stuck!!

If you would all be so kind, I'm going to take a little vacation..from my blog. I don't know how long, but I'm just going to consider this my coffee break to recharge and get my wheels turning again. They're stuck in some major mud right now..

While I'm at it, I could use a break from life, too. I don't know how long I'm going to keep things quiet, or if it's even possible to silence everything, but I really need to slow down and find God again..I've missed Him a lot lately..

And besides, He's my real coffee break;)

Sorrow

You know, sometimes people look at sadness as a bad thing..but sometimes it's just the opposite. Sometimes it's a blessing from God..sometimes it creates songs like this!

Emotional..

Emotions are a strange thing..especially when you're a girl. Being a girl in general can be strange. One minute, you're perfectly happy, almost done cleaning the kitchen, and just as you finish mopping the dining room and smile with satisfaction at the perfectly shining, sparkling, beautiful floor, three children come barreling into the room and step all over your precious mopping job--not only that, but this is the third time you've remopped the floor after it getting trampled on.

Yes, I have had this scenario MANY times.

And men wonder why we burst out with crazy emotions..torrents of rage, bursting into tears, deadpan stare, the cold shoulder, and the silent treatment to name a few. Then we throw in the baby blues, toddler tantrums, and busy lifestyles, and bam! There goes a woman's brain. Gone. Removed from the equation. Bye-bye.

Although I wouldn't really want to be a boy, either. I enjoy being a girl, though I never was radical about pink and frills and stuff..I guess it's all about balance. I don't have to roll in the mud, but it's not the end of the world if I own a pink shirt, either.

Which reminds me, I don't have a pink shirt! Wait, yes I do..it has a ninja on it wearing a bow. >:) Yeah! Girl power!

This rant makes me think about my dad..poor man, he's just surrounded by girls. Between his wife and four daughters, he's in drama/hormone city.

Good luck, dad! By the way..you should probably get yourself a dog or something..it might help save your sanity;)

Read This!

Wow, this came up in my stream on Google+ today (G+ shows what's most popular or what's "hot" everyday). It's a conversation about whether or not God exists. If you don't know much about the argument against Christians, this will definitely show you. If you go down far enough, I left a few of my own comments. Check this out!

Splinters..

On Friday, Cindy and I stopped at a garage sale on the way to work. Cindy bought a wooden sign to put in her front yard, and as I was putting it in the truck for her, I got a splinter in my 3rd finger. The sucker was like an inch long!

So you're probably thinking, "Why the heck is she suddenly talking about splinters?" Bear with me people, I'm about to make a point..or an analogy, if you will. ;)

2 days later, I was in the shower when I grabbed the shampoo bottle, and with a shoot of pain in my finger I realized that splinter was still there and I'd forgotten about it! I got it out of course, but it hurt worse because I'd waited so long.
Sometimes that's what people do in life. We get used to living with pain, and so we let it slip to the side and forget about it. Then later, something reminds us of that wound and it hurts even worse.
Don't push problems that you can fix to the side! Pray and ask God about whatever it is..whether it's as little as a splinter or as big as a broken life. Don't leave the mess, it'll just get bigger. Jesus will get you through anything.

Oh, and I'm just going to add this last picture for your enjoyment--though it has nothing to do with the post:

YAY-YUH! I finally got my coffee stuff!! *does Candace Flynn's evil laugh*

Note: Candace Flynn is the big sis of the famous Disney Brothers Phineas and Ferb. You can find her either drooling over Jeremy, talking to Stacey, or busting her brothers.

Update On Randy

Randy Anderson is home now, he's going to OU for an appointment Monday or Tuesday, and I assume that is when they will set the date for his surgery. Me and possibly my aunt are going to go and see him before he goes under..since he has adopted his daughter, and he doesn't have much family, if anything happens to him she could go back into DHS. He doesn't want to admit where he's at, but I'm going to talk to him and try to convince him to get his attorney and write a legal document, saying what he wants done with Victoria if something happens to him. Please pray he'll listen and make the right decision.

I appreciate everyone's prayers!

Randy Anderson

Hey guys, prayer request!

I have been babysitting a little girl named Victoria (she's 2) for a few months. Her dad, Randy Anderson, has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now..he started looking really yellow in the face, and had been sick a lot. So when he went to the doctor, they said he either had a tumor on his kidney or a liver problem. They resolved yesterday that it is definitely a cancer in his liver. He's a single dad, and he's having a really hard time with this. He's getting transferred up to OU Medical Center in the next few days for surgery. Please pray that the surgery will go well and that Victoria will be at peace. She's been staying with another babysitter for a few weeks now. Thanks everyone.
