Is anyone out there?
Haha.
I can’t remember the last time I wrote, probably the new year. But I’m going to try and blog a little more.
So much is changing in my life right now. Things I didn’t see coming and things that are just natural process. It’s a whole new experience.

It really is the best day of the week for me! Here’s a little bit of awesome from today!!!

Thursdays are my offical favorite day of the week.
I have been saying it for two weeks now, and I know it sounds silly. Because most peoples favorite days are Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Thursday is my favorite day because I am off from work, I have my favorite class on Thursday nights and its the day that the stress of the week really starts to wear off.

So many things are changing and have changed and I keep thinking about everything that is different this time one year ago and its been tough at times and there are places in my life I never thought I would be but I am starting to realize even with the stress of life and how upset I get sometimes when I think about everything that wrong to much, I am still really happy with were things are. I mean, for the most part I am healthy, things are going well with school for this semester, and I have a job which means I have income and can pay the bills. Sure there are things that need work but is there ever anything that doesnt need work?
2009 can be a great year if I let it be, and thats what I am trying to do, I grew so much last year that being back in more than one classroom where I can say things and voice my opinion I realize just how much I have changed, I am not the quiet little girl I used to be, the changes I think are for the good my own that is. I am starting to realize recently that I don’t think I am ever going to decide what I truly want to be because there are just so many things the most recent thing I was thinking was that I could work in church ministry and teach ethics both part time since neither is the most well paying job. I know what some of church ministry is like though and I am convienced its not a part time job. I don’t know, I want to do so much with life, but do I really need to plan it out now. I have goals that do no pertain to what I want to do in life as a carrer I have goals for life that are things I want to accomplish. Does that make sense? My goals in life aren’t make a movie, or direct an hour of television, my goals in life are get a degree, in something anything by a certain time. I couldnt list the things I want to do with life the experiences I want to have on here, I dont think I could even make a list becuase there are so many things I want to do that I wouldnt be able to remember them all at once.

I am wondering how this entry started out with talking about how Thursday is my favorite day and ended up with this long drug on story of things I want to do with my life….

Hey Everyone,

Happy New Year, and hope everyone had a great holiday season. With everything that is going on in life and work right now, I am going to try and write more often. Blogging is such a great tool of communication and getting people connected to other things.
I am looking forward to everything that is coming with 2009, especially with how long and hilly, 2008 was. It seems as though many people are looking forward to putting it behind them, as the past does belong in the past I intend to do the same as well.
This year brings so new responibilities as well as new and exciting challenges that I have not face yet. ALong with my normal jobs at the church currently I will also begining working with the internet campus of our church on a weekly basis, I look forward to getting to come up with exciting new ideas and growing that campus with the other I get to work with. This year will be our first full year in a completed building, with new facilities upstairs and an exciting new children auditorium downstairs.

Along with the excitement of my church job does come challenges as I am facing now in my secular job, I love what I get to do, and the people I get to serve everyday however with any job it has its difficult times. I stick through why I can, I am lucky to have a job in these trying times.

School starts next week, and I am looking forward to that more than anything since last semester I only had one class. It keeps me away from the two places I spend the most time in so its a nice change of pace. Also it will give me the chance to make some new friends, which is difficult since I work so much.
2009 is going to be such an exciting year, putting all the bad and hurtful things that was 2008 behind me. I’m looking forward to what this year has in store.

Well the season is finally here, and we are coming to the end of a year that has been crazy! 

Today though was the day to turn in Thanksgiving boxes at Richmond Community Church, last year I was blown away by the amount of boxes donated to families across the area just from RCC, but today was even more of a moment for me when I walked in to the lobby this evening and saw the 90+ boxes stack up 3 and 4 high to be sent out tomorrow to our community. It is so impressive to see the caring all of around you but particularly in a place that is so close to you, and to see so many people that care so much about their community. Today was another great example of RCCer’s enriching their community and caring about the people whom are less fortunate. 

God Bless!

Seems like the only thing I blog about now-a-days is the sadness of losing great Hollywood legends…

The latest great to leave us, is Paul Newman. Famous for a lot more than his movies.

Hey hey!

Wow I haven’t blogged in forever. and the only reason I am right now is because I am inpatiently awaiting my iphone 2.0 update to finish downloading….dumb de dumb… anyhow. So I was reading this article a few weeks ago, in some magazine I got at Willow Creek Arts Confrence and this guy has written an article titled “10 things I’ve kissed goodbye…” i thought it was intersting so after i make sure i have the ten things i want to talk about, im going to write a blog on it.  Anyhow my update is done now…so more to come later.

Actor, Director and Producer Sydney Pollack died today, at his home in California from cancer. What a tragic loss this is for his family and the entertainment community, truly one of my favorite people in this business.

“So few come and don’t go, Will you won’t you, be the one I’ll always know”

I have wanted to write this blog for quite sometime now, I don’t know what has really stopped me. There are instances when its really weighing on me to write it but I never do. So here I am finally writing it. What about to write about is truly an opinion and I don’t think or know that it applies to anyone but myself. It’s a reflection on my life and the people that have been apart of it. 

For the past several years I have thought about the people in my life, trying to understand what it is that bring certain people into your life at certain times, the effect that these people have on your life and why they are there in the first places. I have found the people that come in to my life fall into three categories. 

The Constant: 

This person is someone who is a big part of my life, someone who is there for me in big moments, sometimes been a close person who knows me very well, this person my not be in my life for certain periods of time but the time they are in my life out numbers the time spent away. Some of the most important people to me fall in this category, they are the people that have helped me become who I am at the core of things. These people to me don’t always have a good presence they have been a negative influence, someone who does things that I don’t believe in or approve of. This type of person has also in one example a person who has believed in me from the beginning knows what I am capable of and really may know me better than anyone. This group of people is the most interesting and important to me, there is a reason these people have been apart of my life constantly.  

The Weaver:

This group of people are the ones that come in and out of my life, some people that I thought were weavers have turned into constants. Right now a prime example of a weaver is back in my life, I have known this person for quite sometime and now they are back, they are good people. I am really happy to have this person around again its been nice, and they could end up becoming a constant but I doubt that. Its nothing wrong with that relationship I just don’t think they are intending to become a constant in my life. Weavers tend to be my past best friends of the past, they are in my life for spurts of time and weave in and out during certain times.  

The Filler:

The last group of people I have in my life are filler people, and I know your probably thinking that sounds a little harsh, but I would never put the people in this category that I didn’t think I was a filler person for them as well, they are actually kind of special because in a way I look at these people as angels God has sent me to help get me through paticular things in my life.  I think that there are people that come into our lives for certain amounts of time to help us for a particular reason. These people aren’t intended to stick around long, and when they leave its easier to deal with their departure. These filler people aren’t weavers and won’t ever become constants. It’s funny because two of the biggest people that fit into this category can be related to their times being when a very important constant to me was out of my life, both times it was the same constant. Fillers are there for me when I need someone I can grow close to quickly someone I feel like I can trust and ultimately I can trust them but they aren’t intended to stick around for long, they provide me with strengthen, sometimes weakness and a lesson to learn. This is the group of people that challenge me the most, fillers get me through the really hard stuff. 

I don’t intend to define who any particular person I know is in these three categories and I don’t mean any harm by writing this entry, its just something that I have been thinking about. I’m sure some people won’t agree with this and think that its stupid to categorize people like this but I’m sorry, that’s why I made it clear this was an opinion on my own life and relationships.
