Missed The Rapture Train?

Sooo....The world did not end or at least I wasn't called on.

What did you do to "prepare" for the world ending?  I am honestly interested in seeing if people's behaviors changed. 

I am also interested in knowing would it be better to know the exact date and the exact time of the rapture or is it better to not know.  For me, I would rather not know.  I know that there will be a time that I will be judged and hopefully I did what I needed to do in order to be called on.  Even if I wasn't called on I would not have a problem fighting for Him.

I heard about a few people selling all their belongings but for what?  Even if you buy that person's belongings what could you do with it if you leave the Earth? 

I hope this brought people closer to Christ and understand that there will be a time and to always be ready. 

"The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day." - John 12:48 ESV

Oh No...Breast Cancer?

About a month ago I felt a lump.

To be perfectly honest I found it years ago but barely said anything until recently. Being scared to death is an understatement. I always wondered what I would if faced with something like this. Should I get rid of them and get implants or go through the crazy treatments? Once I told my parents and brothers about it they immediately gave me the support I needed and the courage to go see the doctor. The day before the appointment it finally hit me, I could have cancer. I didn't want anyone to know because I didn't want anyone to feel sad or worried about me.

Going to the doctor never felt so weird. I haven't had my mom with me for a doctors appointment in years but it was nice to have that support. The doctor said he wasn't sure so off to a specialist I go.

I was hoping for the best and it felt like forever waiting for the specialist. She was the nicest, thorough and most energized doctor I have ever met. It took me years to get to this point and all I could think about was that I should have came at the first signs so it can be treated easier if I had cancer.

Thank God she didn't feel anything, only fatty tissue. I've been worried for so long and I finally get to relax. I should have came in earlier but now I'm educated on what to look for. My message to you all is that whatever doesn't feel right get it all checked out. Fear doesn't make it go away.

 

Happy Mother's Day

Mothers are a special breed.  They have to have patience, time, energy, willingness to sacrifice, and super strength to push us out when we are born. 

How can a person love another person without knowing them, understanding them, talking to them, seeing them for so long but then when we are born there is instant love?  Can you honestly love another human being without knowing their name first?  Could that child really be your pride and joy?  Would you be afraid to make mistakes?  Would the future decisions your children make be your fault if they are bad and your praises if they are good?  How can you determine success in motherhood?  If you have a little girl, will she look up to you and be your best friend?  If you have a boy will you force him to participate in hobbies you could not do since you are not a boy?  

Are these the questions mothers ask or have asked?  Could I be underestimating the power of love that a mother has? 

I do not think I can understand motherhood until I have a child but the power that my mom has is amazing.  I cannot understand how she loves me and my brothers from the first time she saw us until now.  What I do know is that whatever mistakes she believes she had made and whether or not her plan with us went accordingly, I know she did everything right.  I also know that I love her and she loves the hell out of her kids!  I cannot say me and my brothers made it easy for her but I do not believe she would take back any moment.  

I love you mom!

Leaving My Nest

Once you get to that point where you decide to move out, shoudln't it feel good?  Well, I have one foot in and one foot out my nest and it is a bit scary.  Depending on your personal situation it may be best or it may not be best to move out on your own.  For me I just felt that I was too old and my time has expired.

My personal situation is interesting. I always wanted to move - just because.  I am not being abused or anything extreme like that I just wanted to "grow up".  Me and my mom have an interesting relationship, we have always been close and leaving is really hard to do.  We talk about everything and do a lot of things together which makes it even harder to leave.  She is my voice of reason and it just helps to have her there at any time.

This will be a learning experience and I suppose she is only one call away so knowing that puts me at ease.  Family means everything to me but hopefully my relationship with her grows - and it will!!

Happy Pill

So I saw the movie "Limitless" and I will try not to mess it up for you but I will say it is a must see!  Anywho, I really wish it was possible to have all the answers to success in pill form.

Can you imagine?  Knowing which steps to take in life.  Becoming successful quicker than expected.  It must be nice to be able to change your life from boring to exciting.  Having the solutions in a size of a pill would be the best ever! 

But of course there are some consequences.  Being addicted to short cuts and instant solutions may not encourage people to retain what new information they learned.

Having no limits seems pretty promising.  Finding ways that promote motivation over laziness is a route I would like to take.

While that idea is still fictional, I will continue struggle to the to top trying to make my life's journey as exciting as I possibly can.

What's Next?

I feel lost.  What do I do next?  For some reason I am feeling confused about my future.  I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I get my masters.  This program is going fast so should I have everything figured out by the time I am done? 

I want to move but I am scared about being on my own.  It would be an adventure for me but the unknown worries me yet it is excites me.  I really want to take time to travel and see the world but I also need to establish myself.

I am just so lost and confused.

Unicorn

The other day I was told that I was a unicorn. Yep, unicorn is what I said.

The reason for this is because I'm unique, I guess. I went to a conference with my boss and co-worker and spending a few days together outside of work, you get a chance to really get to know eachother. During this trip I think they got to take a peek at the real me. While I'm at work, I'm so focused and goal oriented that I rarely get to show how corky I really am.

I would never say that I was normal or even close. I am goofy, spontaneous, hard working, and an extremely focused person. I hate sleeping on pillows unless they are flat because I get neck cramps. I think all railroad tracks you touch could electrocuted you. Someone told me that and why investigate something that could hurt you? I'm superstitious yet religious. If you split a pole I will whisper "bread and butter" every time.

I love disrespectful rap songs yet I can appreciate other arts such as the theater, sculptures and paintings. I can watch cartoons all day then later discuss ethical theories and formulate calculations for biostatistics and epidemiology.

Calling me unique or different is an honor. I embrace it completely! Unicorns are supposed to be beautiful and majestic and hopefully I live up to that. Being a legendary and mysterious creature seems pretty cool to me.
