We plan and God laughs....seriously....

I woke up Monday morning on May 23, 2011 at 8:00 am and got ready for work. This morning I actually had a hard time getting out of the bed but I figured I was dragging because it was a Monday. I finally pulled out from my apartment at 9:00 am already late for work. I turned onto Donaghey towards my job which is less than 5 minutes away from house. I drive through a green light crossing over the Donaghey and Dave Ward and all of a sudden I see a silver Audi driving across the intersection. Before I could absorb what was going on. This nice old lady smashed into the side of my car, pushing me over a curb and knocking everything in my trunk out onto the streets. Who knew that as I was dragging out of the bed that morning that I would get into a car accident less than 5 minutes away from my home. I am thankful that I was wearing my seatbelt because the impact was so hard that I would have been hurt if I wasnt buckled in. God had plans for me regardless of what I thought I had going.




Having this wreck knocked me out of being so self absorbed. I spent so much in my own little world that I would tend to forget about my family. You don't realize how much you miss something until it comes back. I have been away from my family a lot that I began to lose myself but God works in mysterious ways.




Family will always catch you when fall and God will always put you back on course..... :)

That feeling!

Yes, I know that I already blogged today but I can't resist. Its like those new pair of shoes that you just bought and they seem to go with everything in you put on!


So I just go my EBT card in the mail and no one ever told how great it feels to walk into the store pick up what ever food you might want or need and instead of reaching into your wallet for your skimpy debit card, you pull out the ever so faithful EBT card. I was so happy when I bought my food and I wasn't broke afterwards. Why did I not do this earlier!?! What was I thinking trying to be uppity and not get on SNAPS. If you are a college student and  you don't have parents that let you mooch off them, I strongly advice you to consider going down to your local Human Resources Department and applying. The worst they can tell you is no!

Holding your breath at a crossroad....

The feeling of holding your breath is something that can become eternal. Its like being the last kid outside waiting on your parents to come pick you up from school but then after an hour of waiting, you reach into your purse and realize that you had the keys to the car the WHOLE time. I am holding my breath but there is nothing that is keeping me from taking that big whiff of fresh air. We as people have to learn how to take leaps of faith despite the odds. History shows that there have been countless of individuals that have succeeded with everything against them. So why is it so hard for us to chase after our dreams.....or should I say me. I go to my biology classes, and study my biology books, all the while my heart is having a temper tantrum because it wants to dance. Its almost like its flowing through my blood.
