i'm still here...i'm just a slacker

so...i am a slacker...i admit it...but i have been busy and some things have been going on and well i just haven't really wanted to write lately...so there you go. BUT i have checked every day on all of you i follow and other random people to make sure your lives are ok and see what new adventures you are all on...so i am still here...just not writing...i have moved on to stalking...hahaha j/k

so there are some new things in the works for my life but i can't share them so i am just going to leave you on the edge of your seat until i get it all straight...sorry but thats how life goes. i promise as soon as i can, i will share more!

other than that, not much else going on...just work and playing on the computer and getting stuff ready to move to a new apt. i HATE moving! let me just say that now...and let me repeat it...I HATE MOVING! i hate packing...i hate unpacking...i hate sorting...i hate cleaning...i just hate it all! but i am embracing it...using it as a time to cleanse and purge....getting rid of the old and starting fresh. yes, some of that attitude is so i don't have to pack so much but most of it is really because i need a fresh start! so, goodwill and salvation army probably LOVE when i move! also, the other new thing in my life is that now i feel a lil healthier. for those of you who don't know, i was having some pretty uncomfortable, scary female issues. i went to a new doctor whom i love, and it seems to be all sorted out now. PRAISE GOD! i was worried and anxious and just plain scared for a good while so i am so thankful that God never fails and continues to promise to walk this road with me...every step, every circumstance...
so thats pretty much it in my life now on to other people's lives....people that i would love for you to be in prayer for over the next weeks, years, days...whatever you can commit...as the Lord lays it on your heart...thats my motto...
so, i'll do the sad first then move on to the praise...
this past week, the city of McComb has been in mourning over the loss of a spectacular young woman...Susan Haskins. For those of you who don't know about McComb, well thats another blog entirely but long story short, its a small town in southwest MS that i grew up in. ok back to story...Susan was 20 years old and a student at Ole Miss. I personally did not know her well. I had met her only a few times and knew her through friends. She was quite a bit younger than me. However, she was preceded in death by her older brother 12 years ago. Yes, you read that right...their parents have now buried two children. I could not imagine...it breaks my heart for her family to have to endure such pain and heart ache. however, we must have faith...faith that God has a plan to work good out of this....faith that God will carry us through this...faith that God will give us the words or the actions...faith that she is now dancing at the throne of God. we have to have that faith or else we would crumble...we have to remind them daily of this faith...that their children would want us to remember them with smiles and do something to help the world instead of mourning...so, please please please pray continually for this family...for her friends...for anyone who is touched by this situation...we know that susan is in a better place...but our hearts can't yet grasp that...so to the haskins family, even if we don't know you, we love you as sisters/brothers in christ and we commit to lifting you daily before the Lord...we will be the body of Christ and surround you with His love and strength and peace...we will be there to carry on your faith until you can carry it again...

ok..now to the praise...for those of you who don't know, i was an Alpha Gamma Delta at the University of South Alabama...go ahead and get your dumb sorority jokes out of the way cause i don't wanna hear it. hahaha anyways, i love alpha gam with my whole heart and know that i would have never made it through college without my sisters and the support that i was given through alpha gam. you truly cannot grasp how amazing an organization like that is until you have experienced it. some of my best friends today are women i met through alpha gam. anyways, alpha gam is pretty much amazing and they have struggled for a few years at Univ. of S. AL with increasing numbers and such. we have quality women...we just could never seem to get enough. so, they had recruitment this week and drum roll please.....THEY MADE QUOTA PLUS! THEY GOT 27 NEW MEMBERS! quota is the number all sororities should get through formal recruitment! we have not had quota in at least 5 years! they make me so proud to be an alpha gam! they are amazing! so, my prayer is that they continue to grow...they they continue to recruit quality women...that their hearts would be turned to you...

oh an another thing...please keep my family in your prayers...my cousin who passed away would have celebrated his birthday this past week. we miss him so much and love him so much...i hope he is dancing at Jesus' feet...i can't wait to see him again...we love you andy! happy birthday!

oh and one more...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD! 33 years and counting...you guys are truly amazing and have given Jamie and me such an example of true love...i can only imagine what kind of love is bigger than what you have shown...my mind cannot fathom anything bigger...its been a blessing to have such examples of love and commitment to follow...I LOVE Y'ALL!


so, thats me...thats what i have been up to...those are my prayer requestes...thats my story...
