I'm OVERWEIGHT !!!!

Like you didn't already know that, right?? Anyway, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Body Mass Index calcuator I am overweight at 5'10" weighing 195lbs. They say that I can weigh a maximum of 173.5 lbs. to be normal. But who wants to be normal anyway??

Daddys love your daughters!

Daddys love your daughters because what they choose to do with their lives is your fault or for you to be proud of. Fathers who are not around for their daughters emotionally as well as physically are more likely to look for that love they miss, but in another man. Usually a boyfriend or a casual hookup. In which case they will do or give anything to find the love they are missing from their daddys. Hug that daughter, tell her you love her, make sure she knows it!! Do it so much that she actually has to remind you that she already knows and embarrass her in public with your love for her. Do nice things for her and buy her things but also the hugs and kisses and spending time, taking time to sit and talk, showing an interest in whatever she is doing...... all this.... could save a life could save a soul could save your daughter.

For me, this is my little sisters! That is a scary thought to know that my choices will affect where my sisters go in life. I can't imagine what it is must be like for you dads!!

My Savior

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Is One who is my Savior

Stains from my past

They say that the past is the past, but what happens when you shove the past so hard that it bleeds, and it bleeds into the present time. The bleeding past stains and threatens to permenantly stain if you don't get it in cold water right away. The past that you've hit hard, that you've trampled underfoot, that you left hanging on a cliff has somehow pulled itself together and wrapped it's wounds enough to survive and take one last swipe at you leaving stains all over. Trying to drag you back down to where you used to be. Back into what you used to be. And it haunts every part of you with fear of destruction and disappointment. And you feel as though you are in this alone because can anyone really understand the magnitude and seriousness if you do not take them there? Could you ever bring yourself to take them to a place you crucified and left for dead? It burns that the stories you've heard are really true! They were as true ever! You feel as though someone has drop kicked you in the stomach with the realization that 'it's me'. They were talking about me. And then the devil shows up....... Wait, it was him all along. I DO NOT have to accept what they say is 'normal' for a past to re-visit. I do not have to accept anything the world says 'will happen'. God who gives freely to those who ask without finding fault is there waiting for me to ask, again and again and again. Waiting to give me the wisdom of how to pray, what to do and what to say!

The same God who has guided me this far out of the doomed past, will lift me up, give me that wisdom promised and guide me further on.

Praising God for what he has done so far and waiting with anticipation for what he is going to do in my future!!

Comfort in trials

Psalm 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we frear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;


John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Most critical 4 years!

As parents, we choose to have children and therefore we are obligated to sacrifice almost everything in our life to raise, teach and protect...
