<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey Ya'll....Long time no see. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is Halloween...I am not so much a fan of Halloween. Too much creepy-ness. But...I totes love all the candy. Give me a bucket full of Reese's and nerds and I am a happy girl. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because its Halloween....Lets talk about Zombies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know....the flesh eating undead creepy creepers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img class="mainImage" src="http://www.theruleslawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/zombies21.jpg" style="height: 407px; width: 423px;" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do Zombies do? They attack and eat living people. Living Flesh. Anything with a heart beat. And once a Zombie bites you...you are infected...then you turn into a zombie yourself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its like in the Movie World War Z....the Zombies can hear and smell living things. They are drawn to the warm bodies and heart beats. But all they want to do is kill them and eat them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Zombies don't feed off of sick or dead things...they only want things that are alive and well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Zombies represent the devil. And Sin. You see....everyone has Zombies that try to kill and destroy their living body. When you are doing well, and living well...living for Jesus...the devil tries everything he can to kill and destroy your walk with Christ. He tries to "bite you" and infect you with things like unforgiveness, lust, anger and jealousy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its just like a Zombie...you can try to bury it...but it just comes back up again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img class="mainImage" src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4649380618963203&pid=1.7" style="background-color: white; height: 407px; width: 587px;" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only way you can kill a zombie is to shoot it in the head. Then its dead for good. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The devil likes to take our "zombies"...our sin...and keep reminding us of what we've done wrong. He raises it from the dead. We think its gone...and then all of the sudden we are reminded and here comes all the shame and guilt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But have the ultimate Zombie killer. We have Jesus. He tells us that in Him....we don't have to deal with our Zombies anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

That’s a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God. It’s because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger. It wasn’t long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better. But you know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk.</span></em></span></div>

It’s like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire. Now you’re dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete. Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ.</span></em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Get your mind out of the gutter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not gonna cuss you out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The F word Imma talk about is FUN!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-ved="0CAUQjRw" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=gzVRYPPxw6TjAM&tbnid=A9jHoBqDpg559M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.u-stop.com%2F%3Fattachment_id%3D1429&ei=3dcCUtnuC-WsyAGHooHYAw&bvm=bv.50310824,d.aWc&psig=AFQjCNGSNpSyCQuvJNMXueF_llfci9EEIQ&ust=1376004425431766" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px currentColor;"><img height="300" id="irc_mi" src="http://www.u-stop.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Fun-Graphic-298x300.gif" style="margin-top: 50px;" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fun...as it relates to your marriage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You HAVE to be able to have fun with your spouse. You have to be able to laugh together. You HAVE TO GO ON DATES together. Dates where you don't talk about kids, or bills or work or anything else that could be a "hot button" for you. Do something together that makes you both feel loved and special. Or something that takes the weight off of your shoulders, if even for just an hour or two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a data-ved="0CAUQjRw" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=RGiuppUbg0L9lM&tbnid=V2nvot8YJAFC0M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Flittlefoxgraphics.com%2F%3Fpage_id%3D149&ei=f9YCUvjvKKbkyQGQu4CACA&bvm=bv.50310824,d.aWc&psig=AFQjCNEN08NsuDZv8llZkk489kwZJzQ7LQ&ust=1376004043940015" id="irc_mil" style="border: 0px currentColor;"><img height="400" id="irc_mi" src="http://littlefoxgraphics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/date_night-1024x782.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="524" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mister and I have date night once a week. At first we thought "we cant afford that!" but then as you think about how much it would cost for a divorce.....a date every week is do-able. Ok I'm kidding about the divorce... but really ya'll you can think of some fabulous things that wont cost alot that will put the F word back into your marriage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our dates we have rules...we dont talk about the kids, or money, or anything else stressful. We talk about our dreams. I dont know how many businesses we've opened or houses we've built during those date night conversations. I've learned some of the most amazing things about my husband on our date nights. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now the thing that some people don't understand is that a date doesn't have to mean dinner and movie. There are SO many other things you can do (besides the obvi...making out, hand holding, etc.) HA! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some ideas: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Scavenger Hunt at a store</strong> <strong>(FREE)-</strong> make a list together of 20 things that you need to find at the mall, walmart, outdoors...anywhere then go together and find them. Take pictures of each item. Its fun if you do it with another couple. Then its a race to see who can find all their items first!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Chopped Challenge (some cost involved) - </strong>ask your friends on facebook, twitter or your blog to give you 4-5 items that each of you have to create a dish from. Then have your kids or friends judge who made the best dish! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Extreme Home Makeover (ok maybe not so extreme :) ) (some cost involved) </strong>Pick one little project in your house and do it together. Paint a wall...build a shelf...landscape the yard. Do something together...build your communication and team work! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>The three hour date (some cost) </strong>Pack some food, water, a blanket....and then get in your car and drive for 1 hour. It doesn't matter what direction. Just drive for one hour. After an hour...stop. If you are somewhere in a town, find a cute restaurant or stores to check out. If you aren't anywhere near a town or city, find a place to pull off the road and find a place to have a picnic. Or sit on the hood of your car and talk (or makeout!) After an hour...drive back home. Its like a little adventure..that the two of you are on together. No set plan. Just three hours. The mister and I LOVE going on drives together...we have some of the BEST conversations in the car!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes its hard to get out of the house if you have kids...so here's my suggestion..find a group of friends that will trade babysitting nights with you. You watch their kids one night, so they can go out, then they watch yours another night so you can go out. FREE BABYSITTING! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok so you get the idea. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just make time for each other. Have fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Its worth it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have to invest in your marriage and the best way to do that it to spend time together. Its like a bank account. If you never put money in, but you keep spending...you get overdrawn...then its big trouble for you!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">yesterday I didnt feel like cooking so the mister and I headed out to eat dinner. We had a nice dinner at one of our favorite mexican restaurants. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the way home, we drove by wal-mart...(we live in a fairly small town)...the corner by our walmart is a place where you can usually find someone "begging" with a sign that say "homeless" or "traveling" or "hungry." But most of the time its the same 4 men that are standing there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I carry around Blessing bags in my car </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Filled with things like shampoo, deodorant, food, water and a bible or a tract. I give them out to people in need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday when we drove by there was a man standing there whom I had never seen before...so I pulled over, got a bag out of the back and two bottles of water...and then we drove up and my husband handed him the items. The man looked at him and said "oh man, thank you SO much..God Bless." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was truly thankful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then as we got closer to home, there was ANOTHER man standing on the side of the road whom I had never seen before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was holding a sign that said "traveling" and he looked like my papa did...except with a loooong beard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His eyes looked SO nice but SO sad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had just given out the last blessing bag that I had in the car...so I looked at my husband with tears in my eyes and said...can we go get him some food? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So we got the man some dinner at Arby's and a huge refillable cup with ice water. We drove over to where he was and parked the car...and got out to talk to him. As we handed him the food my husband started asking him what he was doing and where he was going..he said he was trying to get "home" and just needed 6 dollars to buy a phone card to call his family. So we gave him a $20. The man grabbed my hand, looked me straight in the eyes and with tears in his eyes said "thank you ma'm..God bless you." As we stood on that corner talking to the man (at a pretty busy intersection) I looked at the car stopped at the light right next to us..and the people in the car were looking at us and the man with disgust. I kid you not..the lady looked at me and shook her head at me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got in the car and cried all the way home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"thank you ma'm...God bless you."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">When was the last time you heard that come of out of someones mouth after you have done something nice for them? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service....only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food....NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and started walking down the aisle.....the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples? He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It's something you live by and share with others.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a very quiet weekend! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mister and Colton are planning on a boys only hiking/camping trip this next weekend...so they were packing their backpacks and getting their fishing gear together. They kept putting stuff in their packs, putting their packs on and then getting on the scale...then getting off...putting more stuff in...getting back on...taking some stuff out. It was pretty funny to watch :).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Colton was outside for a long time, and when he came in...he had this....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">he had made a bow! And you know what? It shot...REALLY far! I kid you not...he wore that thing on his shoulder the WHOLE weekend. I made him take it off to sleep. He was SO proud of it! The mister bought him some arrows and he is going to take it camping with them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also this weekend I made PIE...mmm mmm good. Just call me Betty. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made chicken pot pie...which is now my new fave thing to make. Maybe it will become a sunday tradish at our house. But this weekend I also made HUCKLEBERRY pie. Oh Lord have mercy if you have never had or smelled huckleberries...I wanted to put my entire face in the gallon ziplock bag of delish -us -ness and sniff until I passed out. They smell SO good. And they taste even better. I used those little balls of gold and strawberries and blueberries (to cut the sweet of the huckleberries). The only thing I forgot was that huckleberries are SO juicy so it leaked.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The title caught you huh?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Actually...it should be more like...I wish I was hot like your girlfriend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I was hot like your friends, or my friends. I wish I had more money, I wish I was skinny, I wish I wasn't so skinny. I wish I looked like her...I wish I had her eyes, her boobs, her butt, her hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I had more, was different, looked different.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Comparison.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><img class="mainImage" src="http://gypsyroxylee.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/thief-of-joy.jpg" style="background-color: white; height: 400px; width: 300px;" /></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Comparison is the thief of joy. It really is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How many times have we gone into a room, a restaurant, a store and just watched the other women. Some of the first thoughts I know I have are thoughts like these:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"oh, she is SO pretty...I wish I had her hair"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"oh my gosh, she is so skinny...I could never be that skinny!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"she has such a nice body...I bet I would have to work out 50 times a day to look like that."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I compare myself to all of the women around me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But its not just women...its couples, and houses, and lifestyles, and salaries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know, "oh my gosh...mr and mrs so and so just built that huge house....its SO gorgeous. Our house is tiny and gross compared to theirs..."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"look at their new car...I bet it cost over $35,000...we will never be able to afford a car like that"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img class="mainImage" src="http://www.plusestenvous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/28586180_K5p7Ikxd_c_large.jpg" style="background-color: white; height: 407px; width: 254px;" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"they look like the perfect couple...I never ever see them argue...and she always looks so put together. They look like they are SO in love. Why dont we look like that?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everywhere we can, we compare ourselves to others! WHY??? Why are we saying that who we are, what we have, and who God made us is not enough?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you imagine what the world would be like if we stopped trying to keep up with others? If we stopped trying to be like everyone else? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><img class="mainImage" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8e1pxjThL1rt8jtao1_400.jpg" style="background-color: white; height: 258px; width: 400px;" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to be happy with me. With my house, with my car, with my kids, with my husband. With my big ole booty, my thighs, my double chin, my hair, my eyes. I want to be happy with who I am and who God made me, and what He has given me. It needs to be enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Galatians 6:5…“Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.” </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So today...be reminded that you are exactly who God made you to be. You are HIS masterpiece. He has blessed you with your job, your kids, your family, your husband, your house, your car, your thighs, your hair, your beauty. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Accountability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We all need it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whether its to help us go to the gym, read our bibles, or stay sober from an addiction. Accountability is something that is vital to success in alot of things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But so many people dont realize that to really have accountability...they have to HONEST and OPEN with the people that they have asked to help them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you ask someone to help you get to the gym...to push you to eat right and work out...then they ask you "Hey girl...how are you doing? Did you stick to your clean eating today?" and your response (as you hide the candy wrapper in your purse) is "Yes! I havent had sugar in two weeks!" Well...then you are just wasting your time...and theirs! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What about someone struggling with something even harder...like addiction? Being OPEN is crucial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like the husband who has been struggling with a pornography addiction for years...he finally comes clean with his problem, and asks for help. He meets weekly with another guy and they talk about their struggles. But they arent honest with eachother...again, without honesty...whats the point?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know when you are having an awesome day...everything is totes fab..then...something happens and you lose it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You turn into a raging wilderbeast. You want to throat punch everyone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What? You don't have moments like that? Um...you're kidding yourself. We ALL have moments like that. We ALL let certain people or circumstances steal our joy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And we don't have to. We don't have to let the people around us, our problems, our bosses, our friends..steal our joy. Its something that should be unshakable. Because true joy doesn't always mean happiness. </span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">True joy comes from God. Like the real true joy. The joy that helps you stand strong when troubles come and people annoy you. The joy that lets you laugh or smile even when things seems to suck the worst. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit...which means that its in us...when we accept Christ into our hearts we receive the fruits of the spirit...and JOY is one of them. SO even when you don't feel it..its in you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is my challenge to you today...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Choose Joy today</span>. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then give some away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Smile at someone today, say hello to someone who looks sad. Take the time to talk to someone about their day, and really listen. Did you get that? REALLY listen, ask them how they are doing and really mean it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use the joy that you have been givin and give it to someone else. You might change their whole week around. You might make a dark time for them seem even brighter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But you have to be bold. You have let your joy shine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its all about me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just kidding. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Actually this post is alot about me, but thats ok. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So remember when I told you I was trying to do the "every day in may" blog challenge? Well, how do I put this...I suck. I didnt even blog more than once a week. Blogger fail. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So last weekend was Mothers Day. It was a tough day for me. Since my mom is in heaven, and my daughter was with her dad in texas...it sucked. I was kind of a mess all day. But we had lots of places to go, so I put on a pretty dress...sucked it up, put on a smile and ALOT of waterproof mascara. It was hard to remember this amazing woman, and not be able to hug her and tell her how much I love her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am going to do the #blogeverydayinmay challenge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't know if I am going to be able to....I am not one of those people who can schedule posts out days in advance, because I write how I feel! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways.... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lets talk about fashion. Wait...first lets talk about my weight. Remember when I told you </span><a href="http://heather-lawlesslife.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-big-fat-not-so-secret.html"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">how much I weighed?</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Then I told you about how I was going to change my life and my eating habits? Well I did....for about 2 months. I got down to 266. That was 11 pounds in two months. Which is pretty cool. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But then...life hit me in the face. Some really crappy crap happened, and I lost motivation. Just like I always do. I got SO angry with myself for stopping. I didnt "give up" because I am still making better food choices and I am still moving more. But I did stop going to the gym. And I feel like garbage. And I am back to 273. Still down 4 pounds. But still a number that makes me sick. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jesus loves me, and he expects me to love people just like he does. And He loves me when I am a b word. He loves me when I am too hard on my kids, when I am sassy to my husband, when I am short with the cashier, when I am feeling like screaming and eating 4 dozen red velvet cupcakes. He just loves me. Nothing I can do can make Him love me less. And thats how I should love. without strings. I need to learn to let go of the things that make me crazy. Its called grace. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I need to replace a punch to the face...(or throat) with Grace. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(haha see what I did there...I was trying to rhyme)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And you do too. Because I know you have all had thoughts like these. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Happy Humpday. No throat punching today...mmm kay?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After days like yesterday its really easy to ask why.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why did that happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why did people die?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why would someone do something like that?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why did God let this happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or some people ask questions like "where was God...and why didn't He stop this?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its hard. Its hard that stuff like this happens. Its hard that people are full of hate and can do things that can actually take someones life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its sad. really sad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My heart breaks for all of those people who had to experience that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But there is good news. The good news is that God is STILL here. He is still in charge. He is binding up the broken hearted. He is healing the sick. He is comforting the ones who mourn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the bible we are told that "perfect love casts out ALL fear" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The person who made those bombs, and placed them so carefully...fully expecting to destroy something so special to so many, they knew what they were doing. They wanted to steal, kill, and destroy. Just like satan does with our lives. He plans and he plots and then he carries out his attack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have to choose to trust God in ALL things. And to let His love and His peace take the place of fear and anger. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The person who placed those bombs doesn't get to be the victor. He doesn't get to win. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We do. God does. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been awake since 5:10...I feel like I am half dead. I hate mornings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have my gym clothes on...because I plan on going to the gym today....sometime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I get to hang out with this little man today. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">his mama is about to have another baby! I cant wait to meet the new little man! I am so blessed to be able to love these peeps!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that loving having Jesus in your heart makes your life better. Not easier...just better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its cold here in IDAHO....I wish it would warm up sooner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I need to vacuum out my car <strike>it looks like the snack aisle of walmart blew up in my backseat. </strike>But I am not going to until it warms up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So if you park next to me...dont judge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I lost some followers with my <a href="http://heather-lawlesslife.blogspot.com/2013/03/xxx.html">post</a> yesterday. Thats sucks. But its also Ok...because I know I was speaking truth. And thats what we are called to do. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The people making out just left. Thank you Jesus. It was getting super awkward. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I was a BLISSDOM</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being poor sucks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are going to remodel our bathroom (well its actually my parents bathroom, but we live there now..so its our bathroom too) I am kinda freaked out. The mister and I always think it would be so much fun to do "projects" together..so we start them...then we fight so much that I peace out, and he is left to finish. By himself. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I dont have any makeup on today and so far I have seen 3,454,643 people that I know. They all look at me like I am an alien. and two people have said "are you sick" HAHA. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whatever. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Porn.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div class="author" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Professors Dolf Zillman of Indiana University and Jennings Bryant of the University of Houston found that repeated exposure to pornography results in a decreased satisfaction with one’s sexual partner, with the partner’s sexuality, with the partner’s sexual curiosity, a decrease in the valuation of faithfulness and a major increase in the importance of sex without attachment.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Porn addiction lies. It steals. It sneaks in and destroys things that are good. </strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It makes women feel <strong>unworthy </strong>(when they are SO worthy!). It makes men feel <strong>ashamed and trapped </strong>(when they can be FREE!). It makes years and years of marriage seem like a <strong>lie </strong>(when it doesnt have to be that way!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <strong>But the issue isnt the person looking at porn (they are still worthy, and loveable and LOVED.) They are still good sisters, brothers,moms,dads,wives, and husbands. The issue isnt the person. Its the addiction. The problem is that this addiction is one that induces shame...and shame makes you want to keep it a secret. And when you keep it a secret....you cant get help. People who look are addicted pornography are not monsters or evil...they just have an addiction. Just like any other addiction...(food,alcohol,drugs) No addiction is worse than any other. </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been told that getting sober from a pornography addiction is <strong>harder than getting sober from a Heroin addiction.</strong> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its thursday (just incase you didnt know). Which means that its my friday. Which means that tomorrow I get to sleep in. Which makes this girl VERY happy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time for another edition of Its ok Thursday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I love my sleep. Like really really love it. I would choose sleep over almost any activity.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I come to starbucks almost every morning....and the people who work here know my name. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I like to people watch at my starbucks. There are SO many different dynamics. Right now I can hear 3 different conversations (I am not trying to eavesdrop they are all talking pretty loud)...a group of older men talking about farming...two men talking about being sober and addiction...a few people studying their bibles....a group of women looking at some artwork and laughing. SO many different stories. Its fun to watch them all interact.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Does that make me a creepy stalker?</span> </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I like to speak my mind. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its NOT ok that sometimes I dont do it with love. Thats NEVER ok. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I am addicted to </span><a href="http://www.maurices.com/home/index.jsp"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maurices</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> lately. they have some of the CUTEST stuff for spring and summer. I may or may not have spent a crap ton of money there last week on clothes I didnt need. Dont judge <strike>I will probly take most of them back</strike>.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shopping feeds my soul. Well... shopping and Jesus.</span> </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I am SO ready for summer...I already busted out my flip flops...even though I really REALLY need a pedi. My toes are a HOT MESS. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I send my food back if its not right. Last night I ordered a chicken wrap with NO onions or tomatoes. When she brought it out I could see the onions all over in it. So I sent it back. She brought it back about 5 seconds later and said that they made me a new one. I started eating it and realized that there were STILL onions and tomatoes in it. So I sent it back again and told them not to make me a new one. I was super disappointed....but I wasnt gonna eat onions.... Thats ok!.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I LOVE my bible. It makes me feel safe. And peaceful. And happy. Even when everything else sucks.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that consider cleaning my house a workout sometimes. That crap is hard. Sometimes it makes me sweat just like spinning. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its ok that I have been LOVING this guy lately....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">change is so hard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am one who loves to be spontaneous, but I also love my routine. I hate change. I hate it when things get shaken up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never moved very much as a kid....my family was fairly <strike>un</strike>stable and there wasn't a ton of change that took place when I was growing up. But things weren't always easy. My mom was sick alot (she had 2 kidney transplants) My dad was an alcoholic (he went to treatment when I was in 5th grade and has been sober ever since) We were a foster family (so there were different kids in and out alot) But other than those things, there wasn't a ton of change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I have graduated high school (14 years ago) my life has been SO full of change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was 17 I was SO ready to move away and " get out" of the little tiny town I grew up in. So I moved 2,500 miles away to be with a boy. We ended up getting married....and then 2 years later getting divorced. Change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I moved home to that little tiny town...only to move away 2,000 miles away again with another boy after we got married. Then got divorced. Change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After 7 years of constant change. I finally met the one that God had intended for me to spend the rest of my life with. And we stayed here, in this tiny little town. But there is still change all the time. Change that shakes up my world. Change that hurts....change that heals....change that gives hope. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But its still not easy. I don't like it when things don't go my way, or according to my plan. I don't LIKE change! (unless of course its my idea) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you like change? What if you knew that taking a certain path would require change? Would you keep going down that road? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope so. Because even though I hate change...every time something in my life changes...something good happens. Maybe not right away...but eventually. But so many times I know that if I were to see the change coming, I would have turn around and started running the other way. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its kind of like a rose bush. It has to be pruned to make it be the best it can be. Parts of it die....and change. But then the new growth happens. And the new growth...AFTER the change...is the best part of the rose bush. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, I love me some roses...Pink ones. If my husband brought me pink roses every day...I would be in heaven. But those roses are a reminder. A reminder that change sucks. But beauty comes after a change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">What changes are you facing today?</span></div>
