Its freezing, i went to look for a new jacket for my upcoming getaway to the east coast. Low and behold the stores have the spring/summer line out. At first thought, are you kidding me? its 30 degrees and you have a a bathing suit up? Its oklahoma...
on to other things. Its been 3 weeks and counting with my second job. I'll admit that is some crucial thing. Considering how my schedule is already limited as it is. 40/hr week as well as school. To add another 20 hours of work..its madness. But im dealing atleast till i get my finance stable or paid off. boo..
So, god is working in mysterious ways. Im keeping my faith in him. I'll fill in the details as soon as it is all gets clear-er..

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknoledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
-PROVERBS 3:5-5
These past few days has been testy to say the least. But kepted praying and asking him for strength. Well my prayers have been answer to that part of my worries. As of now i am working 2 jobs. 7 days a week,56 hours a week, 204 hours in a month. I prayed for help with things financially, and he lead me to a 2nd job. Granite its nothing grand, but i am grateful. I went back to food service @ a retirement community. Which im really hoping to gain some insights because i feel like im lacking. Im pretty excited actually.
So, my dad is my hero. Tonight, i read he's files from years ago. This man has been in remission for 15 years from Squamos Cell Carcinoma, Stage-4. They call him a walking miracle. He's battle was actually one of the influence in why i wanted to get into the field of Radiology. As we were talking over dinner, it wasn't anything i have heard before about he's time with that deadly disease. Except, tonight he had shared that he could never get another radiated exam again. For the reason that at that time, the dosage was so extreme they had nicknamed it "megadosage". It came into my mind that i wanted to read he's medical file. So i asked, of course he shared the stack of papers that was neatly put into a manila envelope. I was browsing through it reading every detailed of the diagnosis, the treatments, the effects of he's therapy that will explain why he has the allergens that he goes through now. In amazed of gratefulness, i know i can never be even close to the heroic person my dad is. Words can't even describe how this man is respected by not only me ,my brothers, and my other family members. I just cherish him, not only because of this, nor because he raised us with the thought of all the trials of life that have greeted us, but because he's truly one of a kind. He has that sense of charm that no one can get away from, he's corny jokes, he's funny little laugh when he gets tickled at something. I love my pa, thats just the way it is...

random things
life is too short to not be in love.
the kind of love that gives you butterflies.
the kind of love that keeps you up at night.
this is the love we should have for life.
burr, its cold outside. 20 degrees to be exact. i have approximately 7 mins till i need to be ready. Although i have 45 mins to get to work. I shall need that 15 mins to warm up my baby. I wasn't sure if i was going to make a resolution this year. But somethings that have stuck and also that is nice to have a reminder.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS and THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
- eat healthier; focus on having a healthy lifestyle and diet...treat my body right for once
- adventure. do new things and step out of my box
- focus and finish. to concentrate on a few things and follow them through
- prioritize. make more time for my family, friends, me! - relax and live! take time out to breathe yet live each moment (stress free).
Classes resume again next week, i still yet to buy some of my books. Im very much looking forward to them. I need focus and something to stimulate my mind. This year is very different. This year, my girls aren't in reaching distance. This year We're all spread out from different state. I miss them terribly. If this is not hard to phatom, its like putting me on a bike strolling through a long winding road on a foggy morning. No one to giggle with,no one i can turn to and expect them to push me down that direction...Its life, but for now i know i can always bust out my cell phone bug them..lol..

1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on
you because you areyoung,
but set an example for the believers
in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."
PARADOX: I am the black and the white...rarely the in between. Sometimes I want to listen and absorb insight. Other times I want to jump at the world and make my presence known. Sometimes I want people to make that substantial effort to penetrate through the walls that I build around my emotions. Other times, I'd much rather be
left alone.
I'm a paradox within myself. I'm an unsolved puzzle; a road
in
different
directions.
If you choose, drive
down
my
road......
but keep your seatbelt on.
