moving and thoughts

So, my daughter who hated her room, now wants her room back. You would say well Lacey give her, her room back. Not that easy...Meagan lives with us. I love Meagan and actually I have really no complaints about having her live her. She is a sweet girl. But now Riley is full of tears wanting her room back. I don't want to ask her to leave because well 1. where would she go, and 2. the money has been a big help. With Riley in school and other things, I just don't know what to do. So, I think and pray what do i do. I want to make my daughter happy. But on the other hand, i want to make Megan and my financial situation happy. I keep hoping I will hear God say one answer or another. My daughter is my world. And I want her to be happy. I really do. But, I also want to bless Meagan, and stuff. What a predicament im in.

I had sprint!

How is it that a phone company can charge so much for switiching over a phone, when the phone I had was a piece of crap. This supposed switch was suppose to be free and its costing me a lot of money. I called and basically there is nothing they can do for me. I just don't understand. They used to have such great costumer service. BLAH!!!!!!

growing as always

God always has a way of surprising me! A friend came to me today and asked me" What criteria does God have for choosing who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?" I dont think I have ever thought about this before. So. I thought about this and said basically let me get back to you. I called a dear friend of mine who I trust his theology. Not to say that I always agree with him, but I trust that he has researched why he believes what he believes. Anyways, another discussion came up with what I struggle with God with. Lets start with this, I understand that nobody deserves heaven. That part I understand. But then how does he decide that Joe Smoe should go to heaven and sally Smoe doesn't. I understand that Joe doesn't deserve to be in heaven but why does he get to go if Sally doesn't. Again, that doesn't mean I think everybody should be in heaven. I just struggle with this. Why is some of my family for example going to go to hell, and here I am going to heaven. It makes me so mad. My friend told me its my theology vs. my stubbornness.

I firmly believe that God is kind, and God is just. I love the song lyrics of this song.....it kind of sums up my thoughts.....and where I stand as far as this goes. Listen to this song its great! This song will change your worship!

Here are the words:
Jesus Christ crucified

You bled and died to save our lives

Giver of boundless love

Faithful One to You we run
Chorus:

Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout

Jesus is the Lord

Jesus is the Lord

Every eye will see the coming of the King

Jesus is the Lord

2.
Jesus is the Lord Repeat chorus, then to bridge

Son of Man, Great I AM

Healing power is in Your hands

Risen One, it is done

Sin and death are overcome
(chorus)

You’re worthy of worship You’re worthy of praise

You’re worthy of honor You’re worthy of thanks
(repeat, then to chorus)

I so passed my yellow belt testing, I am now an orange belt! Go me! I love Taekwondo! I even got an outstanding patch! Anyways, Im so thrilled.

I had a great weekend. I love my husband and daughter. But, it was great to have a weekend with Mike and Riley gone. I had such a great time with some wonderful girlfriends of mine! Thanks girls. I can't believe we stayed up till 5am. Crazy. It was a blast though.

Things are going good right now. Been busy, as always. I still hate my job, but I wont be there forever!

allergy

I really feel like my whole world has been turned upside down. What a nightmare. I was filling the pepper shakers at work and I ended up well in the hospital. I am very allergic to pepper apparently. The allergist said I can not eat or touch black pepper again. What a nightmare. So now I have to learn life without black pepper. I am allergic to Pseduphedrine also. So the allergist said I need to get a medical bracelet because if I was to ever have an allergy to it again a lot of ambulances will give Pseduphedrine to help with the chest tightness. Well that stuff causes me to have a seizure. So anyways....I know that my life could be a lot worse, but this just makes my life a lot harder!
