CC feels weird lately. Not the same. Missing a few regular's regular postings it seems. I guess I miss the old days....
 
I am thinking the world has lost it


An ex cop kills someone for talking in a cell phone at the cinema
A 10 year old girl was fitted with a bomb by her parents and told to blow people up
Yet again a woman raped by a gang of men
People killing each other over elections
A midwife is convicted for selling babies
 
Yes the world sucks today, and probably will for a long time.

In the midst of all my crap, I noticed something over the last couple days that was kind of intriguing. I work with a guy who is a very ardent atheist. He's made a few comments here and there about his opinions of what God would be like (keep in mind he's atheist), and in the past as I worked with him I just wouldn't say anything. I mean, the way I feel in those kind of situations the holy spirit speaks for us, that's what it says in the bible right? So he'd say something and I'd have no response, and would prefer to keep my mouth shut than vomit stupid. Anyway, I worked with him yesterday, he made a comment, and I actually respond, and it lead to a pretty good discussion I think, however brief. And I thought about and was like, well that's kind of cool, I don't expect it to happen again though. Well today the same thing happened...before I knew it our discussion about God went deeper today than it did yesterday. I don't even really remember what I said, but I do remember it was good hahaha. Idk, through all this crap I'm dealing with God is still using me, and hopefully ministering to this person.

Thats wonderful! Great story about the Holy Spirit speaking thru you!

I think the trolls ran off a lot of people. They probably won't be back until the trolls are gone. They don't feel safe. I agree with them.
 
Um..when exactly will all the trolls disappear? Is there a new anti-troll app?
 
Maybe I should be more specific...when a couple of specific trolls are gone. "The trolls", not all trolls :) Not all trolls are dangerous. Some are simply annoying. :)
 
Person: Who is your mom?
Me: Oh, she's Beverly McMuffin
Person: Oh, she's a good woman.

Another person: Who is your grandma?
Me: Stella McMuffin
AP: Oh yeah, she's a good old lady.

Another Person: Is your mom, Beverly?
Me: Yeah.
AP: Oh, I"m her forth cousin on your grandmother's side. She's such a hard working woman.
Me: I know.

Another random person: Oh yeah, she's such a good christian.
Me: ...
ARP: Is your grandmother Stella McMuffin?
Me: Yeah.
ARP: Yeah, she works hard for an old lady.



You know, sometimes I feel pressured to live up to the hard working expectations of my family name. And when they see me, I seriously doubt I could hold up what my mother and my grandmother do as Christians. I can't seems to pray like they do. I can't seem to be as strong as they are. I can't live up to their example because I feel that I've made too many mistakes to even be looked at as a kind decent hard working person like they are viewed as.

Maybe they felt exactly as you do in younger days. Maturity in Christ takes time. Don't throw in the towel. God's not finished with ANY of us as long as we're still walking around here. :)
 

Pshhhh, I was getting up at 4am twice a week to deliver my newspaper route at 11 years old.




**wonders why Catlynn is wasting time on here
:p

Waiting for Kyla to wake up from her nap, smarty pants! And now riding in a car. :P
 
Well, I'm getting my hair done tomorrow at 3 (EST). :) Before and after pictures WILL be taken (I'll post them in an album and put a link up).
 
A few more days until I will have to wake up at 6am to catch a bus to work for the following 3 weeks or so -.- That's gonna be hard. My life for that time will consist of sleeping.

You do know all the cute guys get up early right? Ask me how I know. ;)


I couldn't help myself.
 
*wonders who the annoying trolls are. Wonders if the annoying trolls know that they are annoying trolls*
 
The one question / assumption that I get asked which is also the most annoying/ embarrassing: is regarding my age. Looking 23ish. And the complete shock and disbelief that I am actually 30. Yes yes take it as a compliment and all that. I guess it's the meaning that is attached to looking 23. What does that say about my maturity? Very self-conscious I guess.
