What Were You Made For?

        One of the most amazing things in life for me is creating, Running around all day thinking of different ideas. I flood my husband's ears with stories of what I "should" be doing. On a daily basis. I tell him what my dreams are, I tell him what fun things I think we should do as a family. I babble on and on about different quests that God has me going into. Poor guy, I think that if he didn't love me as much as he does he would say SHUT IT WOMAN, NO MORE IDEAS FOR TODAY OKAY! And to think that I only share with him probably about half of what really goes on in my head!

             All of the sudden I got this idea that God was calling me to  "change the world". I know what you're thinking. CRAZY right. I know!!!  I've always thought that God wired me to some how become a famous actress and have all this fame and fortune. For many years of my life I enjoyed being on stage and persuing a career in acting/modeling/dancing/singing/being strawberry shortcake for Toys R Us. I actually got paid to be the very last one... see

             I wasn't lying!  After many failed attempts at a non-fulfilling quest for stardom, I called it quits and decided my life had to go elsewhere. Boy am I glad for that decision, for I was extremely blessed with an understanding husband and a freakin' cute ass daughter. Could I ask for more?! NO. However, I STILL had this weird burning desire in my belly that had me wondering, am I where I'm supposed to be and am I doing all that God has created me for? God has placed that fire burning inside of me for a reason. There is something I must do in this life, and God has equip me perfectly to execute it. But what is it!!?? . Those were some of my questions that I would ask myself so many days until one day I got the answer, or should I say I listened!

           My quest is none-the-less being a good example of what God's love can do for a person. I know now that in order for ME to change the world, I need to change for the better every single day. I have to share the love with anyone that will listen. I have to stop clinging on to what I "thought" my life would be and start embracing what my life IS and what I will do TODAY in order to help someone else. When I started thinking of others and not myself is when I knew that the reason God made me wanting to be on "stage" was so that I would do that in His glory and let all who will listen know how much he loves them and how cool it is to be enamored with Him.

           My life is no different than when I had all these questions about who I was. It's no different than when I questioned my purpose in life. The only thing that's changed is my focus to God and paying attention and following Him in what he NEEDS ME to do. Loving one person at a time. Being kind, loving, and respecting the people that are placed in my life.

         It feels great knowing that what I'm doing in my life is hopefully helping others find their place in the world and how to make the best of this life. Today take some time to be in a quiet place and just listen to what God wants YOU to do! Listen and if it's something good you can bet your toshie, it is really God speaking to you.  I hope you have a great day!

Our Window Got Smashed on Mother's Day!

Yesterday was my first mother’s day as a real on-duty mommy (I say that because last year I claimed it to be my 1^st because I was pregnant and needed a present, don’t judge me!) Well this year, Doug made it a point to make me feel really special! It was the best day ever! I got treated to a massage the night before. When I woke up I got a very nice card from Maddy, Comet and Doug, and after church we were on our way to my surprise. We arrived at the Melting Pot! We had an amazing brunch that made my belly very very happy. Then, we were off to Doug’s softball game where he won both games and made the most amazing catch ever (so he says, I didn’t see it because I was chatting it up with a soon to be member of the wives club) Ready to wrap up this amazing day, we walked to our car with two of our amazing friends and as we were saying goodbye and getting ready to put Maddy in the car, I noticed something on the passenger’s seat. It resembled water; I thought somehow Doug got the seat all wet or something. After looking a little harder I glanced to my left and then noticed the gaping hole that was our window. Someone had SMASHED our back window to pieces!!! I told everyone, “Our window got smashed in.” Doug and everyone else was in utter disbelieve. We then searched for the stolen items, but noticed that they took nothing! All they did is rummage through my clothes that were sitting to be donated in the back seat! Well, at least they could’ve saved me a trip to the goodwill! To my surprise Doug and I didn’t freak out about it. We just took a moment to be in disbelieve about the situation and then attempted to clean up the mess, although we hardly cleaned anything up since our friends, Kelly and Danny were cleaning it for us, bless their hearts. When we were done and on our way home, Doug and I had this peace about the whole thing that would never been able to be achieved without God in our lives. We knew that somehow, someway, God would make a positive out of this very negative situation.  To our surprise our insurance has a window thinngy-maggyger that covers these sorts of incidents, so our deductible is only $100 (I know, I’m so insurance lingo savvy huh!) I called the window place today and the lady was so nice to me and after talking to her for a while she told me that she would knock down my deductible to only $50! The window specialist is coming to my house to fix it today and voila, problem solved!

 I don’t know about you, but I never count on my day being filled with these sorts of unpleasant incidents. However, they tend to creep up on ya’, when you least expect them to! And trust me, I don’t always handle them with such grace, but I do know what makes the difference in my attitude. It’s having faith that I can hold on to. Knowing that in spite any negative circumstance the world can throw at me, I have a promise that could never be broken. I will always have a God that loves me and is kind and will find a blessing from ANY situation I am put in, no matter what. But with that promise comes great responsibility, as my good friend Margarit said “God gave you a brain, so use it!” I can’t just rely on the universe to give me the perfect day, or the perfect job, or the perfect circumstances. I have to exercise my responsibility (the ABILITY to respond!) and have a positive attitude towards any situation that comes my way. I don’t mean that I have to be fake in my emotions, because for a second there I was pissed that someone would violate my property, but I allowed myself to feel and then moved on with positive thoughts about the situation. So many times I’ve allowed a nasty situation such as this get the best of me and I’ve allowed it to ruin the day, or even weeks of my life for that matter.  I’ll tell you something, getting my window smashed was not about to ruin my amazing 1^st Mothers day! So today make the choice to not let window smashers dictate your joy! Find the positive in every situation, I promise you there is ONE!

Stay blessed, and stay saucy my friends!
