RIP

Well today is the day we say goodbye to you; to lay you to rest. Words cannot express the sadness that my heart feels. I am still having a hard time believing that you are really gone. Last Friday I talked to you just thirty minutes before your wreck. You were kidding with me about OSU…. I could do was roll my eyes and make a joke about them sucking. We were going to “wait and see” how the season went. Now nothing. No waiting. No seeing. Nothing. I wish I had talked to you later. I wish it was different. Maybe if I had kept talking to you, you wouldn’t have been in a wreck. Anything. But now you are gone. The shock from the news was over whelming. The thought of never hearing from you again is heart breaking. No more kidding about OSU/OU. Or you giving me a hard time about the Dallas Cowboys, or my “white legs”. No more brotherly advice on guys. No checking on me or the kids. Nothing. It is all gone. It wasn’t supposed to be like this! It isn’t even fair. The world lost an amazing person. A tender-hearted man. A true hero, not only to this town but also to this country. I know you are in a better place; I know you are in Heaven. You were an Angel on Earth to so many people. Your kindness touched countless lives. The love and support that I have read on your Facebook page is so touchy, truly beautiful that that many people loved you. This world is a better place because of you! I will forever be grateful for your kindness and caring ways towards me and the kids. I will dearly miss you. Thank-you for being my friend for the last 4 years. I wish it had been a lot more, but I am grateful for the years that I did get. So, for you James…. Go Pokes!! I hope they have a hell of season just for you!

The Duncan Hines #howperfectisthat freebie from #influenster

I wasn't too sure about this at first.  A cake in a mug that only takes water and 70 seconds..... but I was surprised.  It is quick, easy, and acting not bad at all.  Even my kids liked the cake.  Some icing on top would have made it a little better, but then again I am an icing junkie.  But over all not bad at all.  I would recommend it, and may buy a box for myself when I was something sweet but short on time.

Fences Movie

I rented the movie Fences.  I have to say the only reason I wanted to see it was because of Viola Davis.  I had no idea what the movie was about.  But I did enjoy it.  It was pretty emotional though.  The movie is about love, life, and even a cheating husband, and then death.  Viola Davis  and Denzel Washington both do a wonderful job!! 

A Thousand Boy Kisses Book Review

Wow!  Seriously very well written! The book is sad but so good!! Five stars!! It's a must read but have you Kleenex ready! 

If you have read it, let me know what you think.  

She said yes-

I love this so very, very much.  Saving to read every.single.day. 

She said yes-

To saying goodbye to everything and everyone who had broken her heart.

To forgiveness and not letting bitterness ruin her.

To not looking over her shoulder at memory lane, to not trying to bang down a door that's been purposefully shut, and to not wasting away her life waiting for someone to come back and love her.

To becoming wise, learning from her bad choices and mistakes.

To not letting men use her, abuse her, cheat on her, or treat her with less respect and care than what she deserves. 

To letting go of fears and embracing "I can's".

To being herself and loving her smile, her heart, her spirit and her body -to knowing she's loveable.

To trusting God in all areas of her life.

To having huge and crazy dreams and not letting anyone talk her out of them.

To loving herself, taking care of her body, her mind, and soul. 

To not letting the ashes, burnt up dreams, heartaches and disappointments destroy her or keep her from her God given destiny. 

To smiling, laughing, being silly, having fun, being creative and letting each moment count.

To letting him know she can live without him, that her worth never is based on his perception of who she is. 

To kissing that fool goodbye for the last time. 

To being lovely, sparkly, shiny and vibrant. 

To taking her tears and making them useful. She writes, she sings, she creates, and she wipes the tears of others, reminding them that God can heal their hearts too. 

To allowing herself to be available to romantic love again but with higher standards. She's a daughter of God, after all.

To walking out and living in her God given purpose and destiny. To be being a Queen for such a time as this. Yes, she can do it.

To wearing the pretty shoes and walking in authority, stomping and crushing the enemies lies beneath her feet!

To dancing and going to high places. 

To hanging out with winners, believers, overcomers and achievers; accepting healthy and inspiring people in her life, saying no to people who suck the joy and life out of what God has created to be beautiful and honor Him. 

To growing, glowing, giving, sharing, and loving.

To expecting the good and beautiful and expecting blessing and favor to be in her life.
