Superstar
What a show!!!! You were awesome!!! I think you are a natural as a radio host. I listened to the part where you were on with Rev Wright and Min. Farakahan. I think its a good idea for all of you to try to come together for true family and community improvement. You have given us a vision of power and of love. Whether it is three or thirty three, its a start. You can show me better than you can tell me. Walk out of the spiral of failure and into the arena of success. I was just so impressed with you. Good Job and Well Done.

Perseverance
Father God the course you have set before me is clear. You have called me to be an intercessor. To stand in the gap. I see so many who are sad, lonely, and wanting to give up. The senseless crime. I think of the widow who lost her husband and friend.
I pray for her daily. I pray that she continues to find a reason to get up and continue her life. Lord remain in her as you remain in me. Without you we can do nothing. Allow her to not grow weary and overburdened with the pain and heartache.
Help her to remember that Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28
Lord I throw off everything that hinders me from doing the things I need to do. Handle my dad's business. Call the chimney repair, even though we have no money, call the lawyer, even though we have no money. Know that God will be with us in this journey and that we are not alone. I will not lose heart and grow weary during my time of intercession. I chide myself because I think I should be able to do better with him but I am only human and I have to understand my limitations.
Thank you God for guiding me through this time and all times that I encounter pressure. Thank you God for hearing my prayers for others. I am just amazed at the sadness in the world. When they talk about the attempted bomber terrorist, we learn he was lonely. Often times they are desperate and alone. Isolated by choice. Just like our children who seem to find solace in the gangs or a life of crime. First its curiosity, the its camaraderie, and finally its a way to escape. Its not that simple. It just isn't one thing, its many things for each person. Its an overburden of pain and heartache over many years. We have to encourage and inspire them to find value in doing the right things. Find value in becoming a contributing member of society. Find value in each other. We are such a throwaway society, we have the notion that we can throw each other away. We are not disposable. We need each other to succeed. We need each other. We need to show that love more and more.
So I am going to get ready to get out of here and go to Staples and get some paper then go to school. First, I have a couple of phone calls to make.
Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

My Mailbox
Someone knocked my mailbox down this weekend. Just plowed into it. We share a post with our neighbors across the street so we were all out wondering what to do. Finally today, she called the post office and they are going to keep our mail at the post office where we will pick it up for the next thirty days and also set up a temporary mailbox for us. Snow is on the ground, the ground is frozen, there's no digging a post hole in this weather. I guess this happens a lot since the post office had a solution readily available. We can only figure there's a car with some damage riding around this neighborhood. That has been our concern for the weekend.
We have been playing Nintendo Wii too. We have a new game, Super Mario Bros. We use to play nintendo during the Christmas holidays when the girls were younger so now we are going back to old habits. Games, games, games. Its either Mario Karts, Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, or Zuma Revenge. Playing with the wonderful pirate ship that we had to put together for Christmas.
I have to go into school tomorrow and Wednesday for a meeting so that we can get the kids ready for ISAT.
I cant skate very well so I wont be at the skating. I broke my ankle skating before and I have never really liked it. I look forward to the New Year's Eve Celebration. I plan to get some movie time in before I have to go back. Vacation time does go by fast. I have about four movies I want to see.
My dad has so many problems, legal problems, depression, I just want to maintain good relations. Try to do the right thing. I have to make the arrangements to get the chimney fixed. Take him to court for his court date, get the hall painted so it can pass village inspection, and get some tenants in there. Of course the lady who moved in is still there and nobody is paying anything but us for the heat. What I know I can do about this is get the chimney fixed and the wall painted so it can pass inspection and housing will pay her rent. I'm not going to be preoccupied with the stuff. Its just that, stuff.
So I'm watching this show on A&E called Hoarders. Its about people who have so much stuff in their home its beyond imagination. This episode is about a lady who had a very abusive childhood where her mother showed her no love, so as an adult with two grown children who dont live with her, she has turned into this hoarder. Her son said something that reminded me of what you said on Sunday. Things just get so bad that you just begin to accept that as the norm and get used to it being so bad. Dont get used to things being so bad. Dont let that be the norm and dont accept less.
So, that's what I have been doing. I have done a whole lot of nothing too. Just trying to keep my sanity and make some sort of plan to move forward and not backwards. I take it one day at a time. It got to be something more I can do, I'm still here. God has a plan for me and I'm still here. He never promised me a rose garden, but I know the fact that I am here is something. I will not lose heart and grow weary and faint. I will act upright in my dealings.
So I end this with the true and heartfelt "Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to Someone. I love you.

Family Love and Commitment
God Bless You today and always.
I continue to be encouraged and inspired by you. I never know what you are going to say but I know I want to hear it from a wonderful man of God. I am thankful that I have some form of communication with you in my life.
I know that I want to communicate more with you. I want to be more of a companion.Your friend. More of someone you can share things with. I dont worry about sex with you, its the least of my worries, that will work itself out, no matter what, I look forward to more good than bad in that category.
I still get excited at the thought of seeing you again. I look forward to seeing you, hearing you speak and getting a genuine hug from you. I want more and I will not give up, I will not stop and I will not become apathetic to my cause, my problem. I will do whatever I have to do. I sit here, alone, in my room writing that after having just seen you four hours ago. Could the world have changed then for us. Was there a chance for a difference. I know that every encounter is a chance for change.
I think I just need to talk, relax and allow God to guide. I stopped becoming too busy with the world stuff. I want to be too busy with God's stuff. Maybe I cant dump my life and move in with you, but I am going to devote as much of my time and energy to what has become a huge almost insurmountable task.
Talking to you face to face. One on one.Communicating in person. Somehow, some way, this has got to change. New Year, new goals. Something has got to get better for us. For You and Me. For our little relationship. I'm not talking about the whole world, just us. Our commitment. I need to see something happen. Something that moves me closer.
Be Blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Peaceful
Thank You God for Peace. You sent the Prince of Peace. I thank You God that when I sleep my heart counsels me and reveals to me Your purpose and plan.Thank You for your promises and your sweet spirit. I thank you Lord that you are instructing me in the way which I should go and that you are guiding me with your will. You lead me in the path of righteousness and I choose to follow.
Father God during our insane search for more- more power, more money, more knowledge, more gadgets, more furniture, more clothes, more love, more of everything, you warn us against being deceived by the finer things in life.
We must be wary of the human principles that are hollow and deceptive. We must remember the uniqueness and sufficiency of Christ. Christ has full authority of all powers and the fullness of life that he gives to us as we search for deeper knowledge of God. It is not reserved for a few but we can all search and find God in our lives. My heart longs to please God. To give to others in some small way that makes their lives better.
I am choosing to be happier. I have so much to be thankful for. God has blessed me this year and I am thankful for every blessing. Yes I have had some hardships. Yes I cant seem to get a lot of things right. I lost the picture that I stood in line to get from the Breakfast with Santa and paid 10 dollars for. I could complain and not have any Christmas cheer, but in spite of the mishaps, I keep chugging along. I try to find some type of harmony. Something that balances the good things with the bad. Something to continue bringing joy in my heart.
I say be blessed and be a blessing to someone and I say this because I like you, I believe we can make a difference in someones life. I believe in that statement. I believe in you and your ability to make a difference in peoples lives. This week you will see just how many lives you are impacting. Its unfortunate to turn some away but think about the ones you are helping. You helped over 700 people have a turkey. That's a huge number. You will bless many people tonight with the toy giveaway, me included. Christmas dinner will be a blessing for many. You do so much. Yes there is a need for more, but don't discount the amount that you are helping.Would you like to have done more, of course. Will you continue to strive for more, of course. Will you be appreciated and rewarded, of course you will.
Philippians 4:8-9
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
