It has been a good weekend. We picked up my prescribed glasses, 2nd pair are sunglasses. Church was good as well. They had Erin, a drummer (cant remember name)Carrie and me playing and singing for the opening song. "What if God was one of us."
I'll be with the parents for the next sunday and with lots more! Looking forward to it.
I need to go work on my roses for the final cake in class. Just tired.

God carries us when there is only one set of footprints in the sand.
I'm pretty tired tonight, getting ready to take a bath and go to work in the morning. I've been called back. Ame`e called this afternoon and told me about Chelsea is quiting. And that Milton and probably someone else thought of calling me and wanting me to try to fill her position. Its the same pay and the same thing that Ame`e does, just a little different. The funny part is that I had started talking out loud to God my feelings and about the job situation this afternoon before the call infact. That I'd be there originally for only a few months if I was filling in for Ame`e. I did ask God if it was meant to be and his will for me to stay with company more permanant that he would let me one way or another. Whats cool about is that maybe 15 minutes pass and I got the call from Ame`e. This different position is a full time permanant position with the same pay and benifets. Which is awsome! I just started thanking God at the point after that. So tomorow I'm going in to see how I will like it and they will see if they like me enough to get the job permanantly. Its a basic see how you like it kind of thing.
It was just strange timing and God was right there and he was listening and that just amazes me.
Erin told me this evening after band practice somethings that really surprised me. In her opinion, (she tells me) when other people get up there on that stage they are singing but you get up there its as if the people are in awe. When you are there, your voice is reaching God, not for you and not for the people. And that is what makes you different.
Guess I was caught off guard, but thats how I feel when I am really into the worship. When we sing I think we should be there to sing for God, not for ourselves, but using that talent is an awsome experience knowing that it is touching lives around us. One day, just once I would love to be able to do that duet with Micheal W Smith.

Tenacious Tuesday
The computer has been crashing on certain things lately and Randy had put in a different video card. On somethings such as CD games I can't play until he takes it out and replaces it. At one time, I had written a pretty long blog this week and the power shut off on its own. I was pretty mad with losing a good long blog, oh well.
Currently, I am working with Rita Bramley over at Metro, don't know if it is still the same pay or if it is different, will find out on friday though. Lots of filing, stamping or initialing drawings and EO's, plus making purchase orders. Normal business hours - 8 to 5pm. Fridays are half off usually if we have our work caught up by then. Great management! Aimee (secretary) invited me to her baby shower, she is naming her baby Gracie. Her shower is coming up saturday. Jen Shaw also sent me an invite to her baby shower which is May 7th. Don't know yet that far ahead what's going on.
Here is a link to my Yahoo Briefcase photos. Check them out sometime! Lots of different things. I've added several new albums: Red River Photos, Furbabies...etc

Did take some nice shots of the kids next door I just need to post them as well. Better go and get some homework done for cake class.

Women of Faith
At 50. dollars a ticket for a good seat, I was able to get floor seating about 6 chairs back from the main stage at Century Tel. Women of Faith Conferance took 2 days and finished at 5pm Saturday April 2nd. Friday night we were introduced to the Women of Faith Worship Team and personally did get to meet them. They signed my booklet. This is the 10th year anniversary in fact for them since the Woman of Faith started. Out of 4 times they have visited Shreveport, each time the bigger amount of people came. This year has been the most, 10,000 came. Too make a long story short it has been a most spiritual and emotional ride there. Sandi Patty and Chonda Pierce sing beatuifully and Yes! I did get to meet them in person and they gave me a hug and signed my shirt and booklet. I better run for now and get to work. I'm working on a scrapbook which has a little more detail.

Annie's Death
Where do I really begin on telling the story of this past last week of March?
O boy! Well Easter weekend we ended up picking up Annie our new black lab mix puppy that was 8 weeks old. Her birthday is Jan 20th of this year. The sadness though is we are already predicting her death will be this new week of April. Most likely if she is not dead by morning she will surely be passing on the next day or so. We took her to the vet on Thursday for an emergency afternoon. She had shown signs of diarea and vomiting. Soon it became a bloody diarea and bloody vomiting. Dr. Ritter tested her and told us she a strong case postive of Parvo. He was able to get her to drink a little and try a little food. She stayed one night and an afternoon with the vet and showed signs of pretty good life in her yet. Friday evening she seemed better and moved around some at the house. However, in the morning she made a turn for the worst. The vomiting and diarea started again with heavier bleeding. Today, we saw that she even refused food and water as of last night, today we can see her bones showing through the skin. We try to force fluids into her and she now rejects. To me and Randy, we both are suffering to see her in so much pain. Even Randy cannot stand her suffering.
Just as I finished writing the top part here, I heard Annie weeze and inhale very loudly through the whole house, so I went to check on her. This happened about 10:10 pm. I just saw her laying there back legs twitching a little, then her chest inhaled one giant breathe and I started to cry. She stopped moving completely. I sat there and watched her suffer thinking she was just a baby.
I went to tell Randy and then went to talk with Sherri. She was there to talk to and she helped me a lot. I went to her church to visit last night. Lots of happiness and clapping, lots movement worship and praise and I was surprised to hear a lady behind me speaking in tounges.
The death however has defenitly got me thinking about the good things tough. Annie is in a better place where she can no longer suffer her pain. And I did the, "What if" game about if she was a real child, that would be more heartbreaking. At least she enjoyed her last days out of a pound and with a family who loved her.
I remembered that Emily actually got excited about a bible verse from Saturday night and she wanted to look it up right away when we got their home. This is what what brought me to feeling better. My thanks to Emily Glassell, where children bring us blessings.
