Hey bloggers!
So jeez it has been awhile since I was last on here....if it wasn't for talking to a friend about this tonight, I wouldn't of stumbled upon this once again. I know, I suck...Can y'all forgive me?
I can't even remember the last time it was that I blogged but I guess I could update y'all with whats been going on lately in my life. Well I recently got a new job working at a clothing store at the mall, which is nice because when I was younger I always wanted to work in the mall I thought it was super cool and could be really fun....but well....you have your ups and downs as you would with any job, right?!? But who am I to complain, I am rather fortunate and blessed to have the job I have in the economy we live in today. I recently went to a family wedding this weekend, which was really nice to escape from the town I live in for a couple of days. The bride was beautiful as always and the whole family had a big dance circle to gangnam style haha what more could you ask for?!?
But its that time again, the weather outside gets colder, the layers come out to play, the leaves fall off the trees and the holiday commercials appear everywhere! That's right folks, 53 days till Christmas! :) Yay!This year I am really excited for Christmas and I honestly don't understand why haha, last year the only thing I was really excited about was my ex coming home, but Christmas in general was just another day to me. I guess it all depends on who you are with and how you look at it. The day after Halloween, I wanted to put up our Christmas tree already...Am I going crazy?! I partially blame work, just because the mall is already all decorated for the holiday season, Sears started using there holiday themed bags before Halloween was even here and Christmas music too! Where I went this weekend, it also snowed as well during the day...but it hasn't really hit me yet that its November....:/ Yes, I understand, I make no sense what so ever but oh well that me :) haha
So as I sit here and think about what I could possibly talk to you guys about....I have drawn a blank....
Fun Fact: I learned how to play poker this week.
Also don't forget to set your clocks back an hour....hello more sleep :) Who doesn't like that? Lets be serious here haha
Well guys and gals, I have to be up early in the morning...I am running a 18 hour day so far on 4 hours of sleep and I should head to bed or you will be reading a random nonsense blur of nothingness....
Have a good night and enjoy your last day of the weekend!
God Bless <3

::Labels::
Here is your devotional:
Do you have a designer label?
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
~Ephesians 2:10
Do you have designer labels in your closet? Do you have to wear Juicy or Aeropostale to fit in and be accepted by the crowd? Do you put more emphasis on the designer labels in your closet than the designer labels you have on your life? God created you. He "broke the mold with you" as people like to say. There has not, is not, and never will be anyone just like you. God gave you fingerprints like no one else has. He gave you DNA like no one else has. He chiseled a unique smile just for you and He has a specifically designed purpose just for you. Doesn't that make you feel special?
Just as those designer clothes make you "think" you feel and look special, don't forget about the labels God put on you.....extraordinary, loved, paid for, worthy and unique. Designer labels are costly, but "THE Designer's labels" are priceless.
Reflection:
Do I care more about the labels in my closet or the labels on my life?
Application Step:
Make a list of all the things God says about you (His designer labels) and hang it near your closet for you to frequently see.
Prayer:
Dear God, so many times I just want to fit in and belong. I want to be popular. Help me to realize that designer clothes and labels are superficial, and really don't mean anything compared to the design you created me with and the labels you put on me. Clothe me with your labels. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

::New Chapter::
Hey guys and gals!
Long time, no talk eh?!? I know this poor blog has been suffering for awhile now and the last time I posted was in either June or July and the time before that was in February. I promise that I'm not doing it on purpose, if that were the case I would of got rid of this thing a long time ago but look I'm back :)
Where do I begin? Where do I start?....
Life has been crazy busy these last past few months. Summer came and before I knew it, it was over. This summer brought many new but good surprises! After everything that had happen in my previous blog, I wasn't even sure nor did I even have a clue what God had in store for me this summer......What should of been the worst summer of my life, turned into a summer I will never forget! New friends, wild times, crazy memories. If someone were to ask me what my favorite part of my summer was, I wouldn't be able to answer them truthfully because overall my summer was the best one I have ever had!
I've met a new group of friends that I will always have for the rest of my life. They are the brothers and sisters I always wanted, but never had. I would like to introduce you to Sabrina, AJ, Cameron, Brandon, Jeremy and Bryner. This small group of people, are the groups you see only on tv. The group you want to be part of and call your friends. Honestly if it wasn't for these 6 people, I don't think I would of made it through this summer with hating every bit of it. I was out of school, out of a relationship, out of a job. Just when I thought I knew what God had planned for me, hit a brick wall very suddenly.
What was I going to do.....a month before I was finishing school, had a job in my career field, had plans to one day marry my best friend. Life was perfect. But then within one week it turned all around. Now where?!? I thought to myself. I think this was God showing me that you don't always get what you want in your timing. He had bigger plans for me for the summer. It wasn't my time to settle down yet. Why did I ever think that?
It's funny how God can show us who and what we need in our lives. You know those times where you feel like no one knows how you feel because you don't think someone is going through what your experiencing might that be hurt, sorrow, doubt, loneliness, sadness. You are soooo wrong! This is where *miiiiister* (you know who you are) comes in..... I met this friend at a college group I go to, and it wasn't till one summer day where we got talking and BAMM! This friend was experiencing the same thing I was going through. Who would of ever guessed?!? After this, we ended up spending almost every summer day together with everyone else, He's an amazing musician and he's one of my best friends and brother in Christ.
My second friend were going to call Prince Caspian (again you know who you are) is a great example of...You should never judge a book by its cover. Again, I met this friend at the same college group. Hes your typical guy but the type of guy you didn't want to hang out with in high school because he looks *sketchy*......Who would of known that, that same guy you tried to avoid in the hallways is one of the funniest, sweetest most Godly guys I've ever met. Not to mention, he could be your pastor's son. I'm not going to lie, back in school I was one of those people that would of judged based by the cover. But lets all be honest here, who hasn't?!? That football jock you knew in high school, could be that sensitive boy you see in your college class, that popular girl that everybody knew in high school could be that same girl you see helping at a nursing home in her free time and that nerdy kid in the back of your class that no one liked could one day be your boss that decides what your future career will be for the rest of your life. Its the outside appearance we all see each day, but its that one time talk you have with them....that's when you actually see who they really are. And I think God placed Prince Caspian in my life to make me realize I need to stop doing what used to be so normal back then and accept everyone for who they are. And now this guy happens to be one of my best friends and brother in Christ!
The Third friend we are going to name Shades....why? Because of his trademark sunglasses (you know who you are) Once again one of the best guys you will ever meet! Has such a heart for the Lord, and tries to live everyday like its his last. Being the man of God, he is called to be. So many good laughs this summer, from random funny faces to singing about powdered cows, every memory that I had and will have with you will never be forgotten. I'm pretty sure God has placed him in my life to realize you shouldn't take life for granted when any day could be your last. Live and praise the Holy Father and His name and he will make your life worth wild. Its not about what you have, what clothes you wear or how much money is in your bank account, but its about the time you spend with the people you love, the people that care for you and make you laugh.
My forth friend were going to name Francis (you know who you are). You my friend are crazy, goofy, weird, boyish, funny, and living your life for God. To some people you might be annoying, to others you are one of a kind. In the beginning, you were my ex boyfriend's, best friend's little brother and now your the guy I spent most nights with laughing at stupid jokes till 1 am in Miiiister's basement. We had many times where we might of got annoyed with each other but there is no one else like you that I would of gone to wonderland with and spent the whole day together with others. And though your off at school now and we only have the memories of the past with us, there are more memories to come in the following years ahead. I'm pretty sure God has placed you in my life to show me its alright to act like a kid every once in awhile. Don't take life so seriously. Though I might be turning 20 this year, I don't need to have my life planned out 30 years in advance and make sure everything goes according to plan. At the beginning your were my ex boyfriends, best friends little brother and now your one of my best friends.
To finish this up so it's not crazy crazy long, Sab..girl you are the best friend ANYONE could EVER ask for! This girl is just....honestly there isn't just one word to sum her up...I love her to death and I'm so very blessed that God has put her in my life! And Bryner is funny, kind, neat freak and pretty sure has a Master's in grammar.
So where does this all leave me.....?
At the beginning of the summer I was out of school, unemployed and heart broken.....
One heart break turned into 5 new friendships.
Losing a job in my career turned into a job in the career I had in the beginning (fashion)
And being out of school turned into a college diploma and a new chapter in this thing I like to call life :)
Long time, no talk eh?!? I know this poor blog has been suffering for awhile now and the last time I posted was in either June or July and the time before that was in February.

::Every Story Has An Ending::
Hey guys and gals,
Sorry I have not blogged in sooooooo long! Just getting really busy with the end of school and graduating, finding and working 3 jobs and everything else in my life, it was just crazy. Then I had a really good time in my life where everything was perfect and I never wanted it to ever end and then these just past few months have turned over a new shoulder lets say. A friend committed suicide, a relationship break up in the family, and now my own problems there has just been no time. Recently Jordan and I broke up. :( For reasons that are still unclear to me, and it was very recent so im still trying to get through the after stages. It will take some time as we were together for almost a year and he was my best friend. He was the one I turned to when I need to talk to someone and now thankfully I have the best support core group of friends that have been helping me get through this. In the end I hope we can still be friends, you all and I'm pretty sure everyone I know, knew how much I loved him, and I still do. I care so much about him still but I guess our relationship just ran its course, and if it meant to be in the end like we always talked about, God will draw us closer together in the future once again. I am dealing with a lot of pain right now and I found the perfect song to basically express how I am feeling. Only God knows my future and I need to start trusting him and not leaning on my own understanding of things.......
It's never enough to say I care
But I'm caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you
I might just disappear
Nobody wins when everyone's losing
[Chorus:]
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, I can't change your mind
I know it's like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can't give you what you want
And it's killing me
And I, I'm starting to see
Maybe we're not meant to be
It's never enough to say I love you
No, it's never enough to say I try
It's hard to believe
That's theres no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our lives
Nobody wins when everyone's losing
[Chorus]
There's still time to turn this around
You could be building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it's too late
[Chorus]
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, baby I'm sorry to see
Maybe we're not meant to be

Did I also mention my computer went tots on me....so that's one the main reasons why I haven't been updating...Its been about 5 weeks now since I last had my laptop....kinda sucks! Also my College and Careers group started back up again, I've started my placement for school and also was sick for 2 weeks....Last weekend was my friend's 20th birthday weekend so we went out on Friday night, and then had a party Saturday night! It was super fun! My friend Sabrina, is also using me as a model for a transformation project at school, cuz she is in hair dressing so I am super stoked for that! 16 days till jordy comes back home! Then I'm going with him and his family to Tennessee over reading week so im super stoked for that! Yesterday, Jordan and I had our 7 months :) what else......mhmm...Jordan's brother Ian just got engaged 2 weeks ago! Super exciting! The weather where I live has been acting extremely bi polar over the last few weeks, whats up with that?!? And I think that's it....except school, which takes up a good portion of my life lol But ya that is a quick little update on my life and what I have been up too! I hope you all had a wonderful January and hope you all have an awesome weekend! Love you all! <3
