From Surprise to Fear to Elation to Devastation
August 9th was the day I was supposed to start my period. For some reason, even though I wasn't technically late, I felt compelled to run to Dollar General and pick up a cheap pregnancy test. Having taken so many of them before due to being very irregular since 2006, I was used to seeing a negative result. I thought my eyes were playing tricks ( Read more... ) -
Giving it a shot
I sometimes wonder if anyone else in this world is a stranger to their own thoughts, as I am. I have thoughts and I have feelings and so many times I don't know what they are. I feel as if I've been operating solely on Id for the last two or three years. That little asshole in my brain that is only concerned with its own basic needs.... which ( Read more... ) -
Not much changes
I'm going through a lot right now and need to write about it. I haven't updated this journal in a long time but I need my outlet for random thoughts again and facebook is just too mainstream for me to do that. There are things I want to keep personal and things I will want to share but I'm thinking about creating my own blog about my experiences ( Read more... ) -

I miss her
I still call for her. I can still smell her. She always smelled like baby powder even though she got maybe 3 baths a year. I miss how her crooked ear would wave to you as she walked her crooked little walk. I miss the language only we shared together. How we could just look at each other & know that the other was thinking. I miss how she'd get so ( Read more... ) -

It Takes Energy to Do God's Will
by Rick Warren
"Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer" (Psalm 94:19 LB).

Have I Done Any Good?
Have I done any good in the world today?
Have I helped anyone in need?
Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad?
If not, I have failed indeed.
Has anyone's burden been lighter today,
Because I was willing to share?
Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way?
When they needed my help was I there?
Then wake up and do something more
