Mac and her "Broke Arm"

Last Monday morning, McKinley fell off my bed and broke her arm. She has a 10 degree break in her fore arm.. Thursday she got her pretty pink cast on and lets just say that is one proud girl! We have been lucky and she hasnt had much pain or discomfort. As you can see, she is going on like it never happened..

We wrapped up her arm so should could do alittle slipping and slide on Saturday....

All in all shes still happy and very proud of her "broke arm".

Ok lets clear things up

Well I guess an apology is in order for the last blog.. Im thinking I probably should not have wrote before I cooled myself down. I should have taking more of a "love" approach, however, I did not. So I am sorry if I offended anyone or made any non-Christian look down on Christians because of me. Again I am so very sorry.

I do want to say that Christians do get mad and its ok too. Its just not ok to lash out.

How about lets keep our mouths shut!

You know, its not surprising that I'm wrapped up into another big controversy. Its my life story! I guess its something about those "Turner Girls" that people just love to run their mouths. Let me just say that this post isnt gonna be "nice". I'm mad and I'm gonna take it out on the little blog.

It gets me that certain someones can go around talking about me and the "lack" of work I do, when them themselves have a "lack" there of as well. Now it is no secret that I'm not always busy. My work load comes in sperts. So with that said, where do these certain someones get off by talking about me. Oh and lets state that I drive roughly 200 miles a day to come to work, but lets complain that Bonita gets to the office at 9:00 am instead of 7:30 am. Wow! Lets cry about it alittle bit.

My question is what good did it do for you to go talk about me? Did you get a raise in all of this? I mean is that what this is really about? I'm really not sure.

Lets also say this: I dont get anymore special treatment than anyone else in this company. In fact, I may get it alittle more tougher than you have it, my friend.

You know, its really a waste of time to even be upset about this. Just remember that when you little talkers start to run you mouth, that one day the foot will insert mouth at some point. Dont come to me anymore when you have nothing to do and you just want to chat beacause from now on I will be moving up and showing what kind of job I can do.

Oh and you can stop the little gossip about me running around too!

Ok I think I am good now!

Decisions

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about some decisions I have made along the way. And well trying to figure out where I went wrong with some of them. Dont get me wrong I am very blessed and love my life, however, I think about where I couldve been if I made a different decision....

My junior year, I was elected to go to St. Louis, MO to intern with a drama ministry called (at the time) "Insync Drama Ministry". This was an outstanding ministry in which they took young adults (out of high school) and teach them the art of drama and put the through Christian school. I had my application and my references from my pastors and elders sent in an excepted. Now, I was scared and overcome by fear, I decided not to go.

This morning as I pondered over that decision, I wondered where God couldve taken me if I had let him take over that fear. I wont know that because I gave into my own fear. I dont regret this decision anymore because is using me now and using my life as a testimony of how he can change you.

My thoughts are this. Life is scary, but sometimes giving God the fears (or Giants as Keith preached Sunday) is less scary than you imagine it is. I'm thinking of my sister here. Her and her friends will graduate this year and my prayers go out to them. Its a dark and foggy road up head to find what it is that God wants them to do with their lives. However, they have to keep one main focus and that is on the Lord. He can light that dark and foggy road so you can see where you are going.

Please pray for students of all ages that they make decisions wisely. Based on God!

Four Years Old... Wow time flies!

Today McKinley has turned 4. It is so hard to believe that she is 4 yrs old. It was just like yesterday that I held her as a newborn. Now I can barely pick her up. I'm so very proud of her in her few years of being alive. She is an amazing little girl with such a great spirit and willingness to love God!

We had her party on Saturday. Above are a few pics from the party!

Happy Birthday to You, McKinley! Mommy loves you with all her heart!

Wow! Where did this come from?

Do you know how sometimes we pray for certain things and we know that God is gonna answer that prayer either with a yes or no? And sometimes we are suprised that the answer is yes. Or that we pray for something and then you watch him work in mysterious ways. Well I have been praying and watching for somethings in my life. A new change. Well let me tell you it is really amazing to watch God work and use my life to glorify him. There isnt anything more that I would want my life to do. He is answering prayers right and left. Yes, some are no's, but I also know he has something better in mind. Its just a wonderful feeling knowing that I can wake up in the morning and know that I have a purpose. Some search all their lives to find the "meaning of life". The only meaning of life is to glorify God and let him use you to reach others. I cant really express how I feel about all of this. Its just something that has to be felt. I know that he is ordering my steps and I'm at ease knowing that he will provide for me in any aspect of my life. He is a wonderful God.

I guess what I am saying is that he is filling my cup and letting it overflow and I am just so amazed that he wants me. I've prayed for someone to just want me, to love me for who I am, to feel as though he is the luckiest to have me. Well I've found him! He is Christ my Savior and in him I have strength..

The gifts included a membership to a gym, a spa day, tanning visits and the pictures you see above. After that, I went to the church softball game and had a blast with all of my church family. I still have other birthday events later on in the week. Thanks to all who participated in giving me a great birthday. I love you all! You are amazing!
