Anniversary
Mood:
 happy
Topic: Dreams, thoughts, etc
Two Years. They came fast. We celebrated our second anniversary. We went to Monterey, ate at fine restaurants on the warf, and in cannery row, went Whale Watching (where were the whales??), shopping, sleeping in, enjoying each other's company (yah right, as if we don't already enjoy each other), took a beautiful drive down the 1 to Big Sur. I decided to start collecting Bells for everywhere we go together from now on ... so I bought a bell from Monterey. I'll buy another on our next trip (which is the family vacation to Florida and the Disney Cruise if you don't know). Unless we go somewhere sooner. We went whale watching, we've wanted to go for ever so long. The wind made the waves huge, and the ocean was choppy. I was scared, I kept thinking of Gilligan and his three hour tour, oh and the Perfect Storm was on my mind. I have seen too many movies. The sky went cloudy, gray clouds. And there were NO, I repeat NO whales. We did see Porpous, uh dolfins, and otters, oh and sea lions. But no whales. We all get a free watch next time we go. I didn't get sea sick, other people did. I just go scared. Well, more nervous. Come to think of it I thought about Peter the disciple and that crazy boat ride he had. We didn't go to the aquarium, we've been before, and didn't feel like going again. We took a nice drive through Big Sur, and checked out the National forests nearby, beautiful drive, and wonderful views of the Ocean with all it's breaking waves, and high tides. On our Anniversary Day, we ate at Benihana and told them that it was our anniversary. They made balloon hats for us, gave a candle to blow out with a statue of a couple next to it, and made us dance to music, while they sang "Happy Anniversary". Funny!! I was laughing so hard I could barely stand. We had a great time this last weekend. It was fun.  Looking forward to our next anniversary and our next trips in our marriage.

It is well with my soul

Now Playing: Entry Title song in my heart
Topic: His Hand Is Upon Me
Well, Day Two in my new task area. Review of cases inherited from a worker on leave. Uncertain as to how I feel about this. Things are going to be moving MUCH faster from now on. I spent the entire day today reading one case. Appears there is alot to do, but then again, no more than previously as I think about it. huh. That darn dog is getting into everything while we are gone. Guess we have to make sure everything (meaning everything) is up and out of the way. People weren't kidding when we learned that this was going to be like having a toddler in the house. Wowee. Today we got home and she had found a way onter the breakfast bar. We know this because things that were on the counter were now on the floor with teeth marks. :) oh well, at least nothing was bad for her. through it all, work stress, and doggie stress, I know that My Lord will bring me through it. He wanted us to take in Sara, give her a home, and take care of her. He will help us in training her. In the same mind, He wouldn't have sent me to this crazy and wild task area if he didn't think I could handle it. He will help me tame this crazy roller coaster of a job, and he will help me survive, in a healthy way. For all this I can trully say that It is Well with my soul. My Lord is with me, he will guide me in my job, my parenting, and in all the other aspects of my life. It is Well with my Soul. HB.

Topic: Dreams, thoughts, etc
| oh Blah Dee -- Oh Blah Dah -- | Oki dokie ... nothing really to talk about. My closest of close friends know that we have been wanting a baby for the past year. ... and never really been able to for what ever reason. Last week, went to the doc, and now hopefully we have answers ... and someday soon a baby ... just put simply ... the way my body is created kinda put a bit of a tilted kink to everything ...
Now explain another thing for me doc will ya?? What do I do about my job? I love my job, at least I did. I don't take kindly to changes, and my job is changing. I work is a task area of my department that is of Voluntary Services, no Court involvement. Now next month, the 6rh-ish I am moving to that unknown area of Court Ordered Services. I have always been in Volutnary, and now COURT?! Well, I know that God is Control. Apparently I am a good, experienced worker. At least that is what I keep hearing from others. Ookay ... so .... If I am experienced, WHY DON'T I FEEL CONFIDENT IN MY JOB?! Well I am Christ's child, and he will go with me to the den of Lions (attorneys and judges) ... I am told that because I believe person can change I will be an asset to the court arena. I hope so. Please God go before me. Please!
So ObiWonKenobi can you explain why people leave this earth before they grow old? For more info check out lost surfers midwest girl's page and blog. You will then know what I am talking about. Tif is my bestest of best friend and also has become my sister over the years, that make her brother my brother. Now he is gone. too soon. so sad. I hope and pray that God will get ahold of the person who was drunk at the time it all went down. I hope that those of my friends who drink and drive will not drive anymore. Please God, Change his heart Change his soul.
so oh blah dee oh blah dah. Life will go on. I to court services, and Nick is in Heaven.
Wanna hear good news? I met Neveah last night. Oh so adorable. And watching my dog around that dear sweet babe... dog so timid, and almost shy if a dog can be shy. very curious I might say. So cute.
Welp, take care all. Blessings upon you one and all.

Life Happens .... WHY?
Mood:
hug me
Topic: His Hand Is Upon Me
A week ago today a dear friend died way too early. He was a young man who was my friend, and I considered him my brother. He was hit by a car while walking. I mourn his loss, and I truly want to be with his family. My heart is with Tiffany and the rest of her family. Bubba was a great friend, who where ever he went he always made a friend, and not an enemy. He will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. HUGS to you all. I hope the STL wins. For Bubba. Also, that same day I learned I am being re-assigned at work. I don't plan to fight this re-assignment, as I know that if I do, I will only postpone the ineviteable. I remember Bubba who took alot of life changes in stride. So I need to do so as well. Certain things can't be changed. Same with this re-assignment. So, I go with a smile, a saddened eye, and an attempt at a positive outlook. That which I have learned with my current task area, that people CAN change and do deserve another chance is possible. I will miss my current co-workers. but that is the beauty of Company email, and Company training. yeah. Not only that, but I will work with my current co-workers again ... in the future at some point in time. yeah. I'll just keep telling myself that. It will all be ok. HB

OK, well I was noticing it has been a while since my last post, and it isn't as though anyone reads this. (btw if you do, you can send me an email or post a comment letting me know what your thinking) What has happened since April? My husband and I bought a house!! Well actually it was being built since oh about March ... We moved in last month ... Still unpacking. For some reason I find myself dragging my feet on the unpacking part ... I have that which I need unpacked ... we are comfortable ... But I really should get to those boxes I guess. It has been wonderful though ... I love it here. Not only did we move to a new house ... but also a new town ... same county though. So we have our same jobs. Which is good. We have a new church. Still getting used to it though ... but good preaching and great worship. I look forward to getting more involved there. We also have a dog now. Our dog is a small hyper active bundel of energy. She is already attached to us, and we to her. God has really blessed us, I am trully thankful. HB

Sometimes Life just takes over
Mood:
 don't ask
Topic: His Hand Is Upon Me
Sometimes life takes over, and you gotta let the bed be your home for a few days. This past week I have had the flu. Either I am battling spiritual ... or something is really icky! When I sleep, my dreams this past weekend ... especially Saturday, and Sunday nights ... were of me praying very loudly and very -- I would say, rather mournfully ... that isn't the right word ... at times it was mournful ... but more i don't know emotional. the emotions varied. The dreams the pictures in the dream did not fit the prayers. I knew what I was praying for in the dream ... and what I was praying didn't fit the pics in the dream. (even when I couldn't understand the words I was praying in the Spirit at times) I know that I feel rested when waking ... but still icky from the flu. yet at peace spiritually. My husband hasn't said anything to me about talking in my sleep ... but he has said I have been restless in my sleep (tossing and turning)... I know that there are certain people been laid on my heart to pray for of late. But upon waking, all I remember is praying emotionally in a dream, and I don't remember what about. The Lord knows. I guess I will just leave it at that. HB

Topic: Blessings
This entry is actually a bit after the fact. I needed time to figure out what to say. Even as I type I only have a vague idea ... bear with me ... This past year has been amazing. The wedding pictures are online, well a few are. The wedding web page is online, and has been updated. The first has been finished. We celebrated our First Anniversary!! :) What did we do? Dinner (Salmon and Wine), music (Smooth Jazz), and Dancing. ooh yah!! Candles. Candle lit Romantic Dinner. It was awesome! So sweet and tender. But the year has not always been awesome. Oh it has been a good one, a Blessed one. But when two independant adults join forces, it isn't gonna be easy to work as a team. No matter how difficult marriage has been, I wouldn't change a thing. This whole year has been blessed. We haven't had to deal with alot of frustrations newly married couples go through, alot was dealt with during our courtship, and in pre-marital counseling with our pastor. Communication is the Key to wedded bliss. The day after we got married, my grandmother passed to Heaven. That was tough. Bittersweet. Thing is, even though I miss her, I know she is in Heaven. There were times I wanted to talk to her, and wasn't able to ... so I went back into memory, and tried to figure out the answer to the delemma with my memories ... some answers were there, and some I found within, planted by my loving parents, and pastors. Some answers my grandmother modeled during her life. Strength, prayer, standing by your man, support, encouragement ... list goes on ... What she taught my father which he implemented into his marriage, which I am learning to implement in mine, I am still learning. My mother is teaching me too. That which she has learned, and that which she instilled in me as I grew. Patience. God is always teaching me this. Even now, as we are buying our first home, I am being taught Trust, Patience, and Encouragement. All of which I lack. As a wife, I am learning to trust my husband as he makes decisions for us, and for our future. Patience to see it through, and encouragement?? I tend to be realistic. ... some might say pessimistic ... I see all sides of a concept ... both the good and the bad ... I am learning to trust in my Lord, so that I can be encouraged and to be an encourager. I am learning that my husband needs me to encourage him as he takes the position of Head of Household. As he leads and guides. This year has been difficult. But as I said earlier, I wouldn't change it for anything. I have enjoyed this year, and am looking forward to many many many more. Grandma saw all sides to an issue too ... but she had great faith. For that she instilled into me too ... my parents re-inforced ... and my husband constantly reminds me of it. For all this, and many more ... I am greatly Blessed.
I have learned and am learning to take one day at a time, push my husband in his sleep to tell him to roll over, spend more time with my husband, leave work at work, cook savory dishes, and trust in my Lord in all things, including buying a home.

New Years Resolutions
Mood:
 spacey
Now Playing: Television as background noise.
New Years Resolutions? Every year someone talks about New Years Resolutions. Where did this idea begin? I don't know. And I really don't feel like researching the concept. All I know that every now and then I think about what I would like to make for a simple goal for this new year. What are my resolutions? I have a few. Some people have one big one. I decided to have a few.
One: I want to lose weight. What resolution is complete without this goal? No, I really want to excercise more, eat healthier, and go down a dress size or two.
Two: I want to make sure that when it is my co-worker's birthday that their desk area is decorated with streamers or something similar to mark the accomplishment of growing a year older.
Three: I want to fight less, love more, and learn to enjoy life more.
Four: This one should actually be number one: but these are not listed in order of importance. I want to read my Bible more often, attend church more often, draw nearer to Jesus.
Five: Spend more time relaxing instead of in a mode of stress.
Well these are a few. I don't know what anyone else has for a resolution. But I have these.
How am I doing? Well... that is all in the eye of the beholder now isn't it?

Why Celebrate?
Mood:
 chatty
Topic: Christmas
Many years ago, a child was born in Bethlehem, who was called a King. Some came to his bedside, a manger, and presented him with gifts of gold, frankencense, and mirrh. While others brought sheep, music, or fresh hay for his bed. Still others were so frightened of the baby they sought his death.
In my heart, the child I speak of is my Messiah, my High King, my Savior.
Christmas is the time I get to announce his Birth to the world without fear of chastisement, or pain. It is a time of fellowship with others who believe as I, and a time of joy and peace. It is a chance to shower others with blessings of gifts, just as the Christ child was presented with gifts.
Christmas isn't about Santa, his elves, his reindeer, or the gifts this mythological character brings. It is about the Love of God being so great, he sent his son to be born a helpless child who would grow to understand his purpose on Earth was to save the human race from it's endless sins through death on a cross. It is about celebrating that birth of the messiah, and his eventual death and resurrection.
It is well with my soul.

Giving Thanks
Mood:
a-ok
Topic: Blessings
Now is the time when I always sit back and think about that for which I am thankful for. Giving thanks is one of the things I usually do when talking to my Lord, but it isn't something I usually do with friends and family. Even in Prayers, I don't always give thanks. November just has something to cause me to give thanks and to think about what is so good about my life. I am thankful for a husband who is tender and loving and understanding. I thankful for an extended family who also loves me. I am thankful for a job which may not always be emotionally easy, but one in which reminds me how Blessed I am in my life. I am thankful for the Peace I have in Jesus. I am thankful that I have a supportive family, husband, and friends.I am thankful that I have a vehicle that works, food in fridge and cupboards, clothing, linens, and a roof over my head. I am thankful for sobriety, peace, and comfort. I thankful for being blessed.
All for that which I am thankful are blessings. I am feeling very Blessed.
It is well with my soul.

A Wedding to Remeber
Monday, July 18, 2005

Mood:
happy
Topic: His Hand Is Upon Me
Driving to work today, in the middle lane of three lanes on the freeway, during rush hour. It's was nuts out there. I was on my way to work too. When all of a sudden, my car starts shaking. Then I hear a boomp, and my car is shaking. I notice as people drive by they look at me, but say nothing. I slow down, and think, My car has a problem. Does this mean I get to replace it?? But it's shaking, and that doesn't make sense. So I pull all the way over to the shoulder which isn't really a shoulder at all, it's just barely wide enough for a car to stop. It' hot out there (already 85 degrees and going to be over 100 today), I pull under an over pass, and stop. I think I feathered my brakes on the way over too. So I stop. I get out, access the damage. I have a flat tire. But it's more than that. It's a flat tire on my left rear, and it's facing oncoming traffic. Too dangerous to change. I wouldn't remember how to change a tire. Dad told me long ago, but never having a flat, never used what he told me, so, I really don't know how to change a tire. So, get back into the care, and I call my husband. Tell him what's going on. When I hear a loud tap on my rear window. I look back, and it's a motorcycle and a man in a helmet. I put my husband on hold. But I think I hung up on him, on accident. I tell the CHP officer, thanks for the concern, but I was just getting ready to call FARM TOW, and that I was on the phone with my husband at the moment. He saw that I had a cell phone, appeared to be OK, and said that he would check on me later. He left. No problem. I got a cell phone. I call FARM TOW. Give directions best I could, and settle in for a wait. I call work, and tell them I'm having car trouble, and waiting for a tow on the freeway and that I will be in later. Then, I call my husband back. He tells me that I need to call and check on e.t.a for the TOW. So I try calling again. UH ... my cell dies. OK I WAS fine until then. Now, I am totally vulnerable. I get nervous. I am standing there, watching for the tow, and no tow. So I start praying that the Lord will either bring the Tow Truck, or the officer will return. The officer eventually returns. Before greeting the officer, I look above, the overpass blocks my view of the sky, and say a word of THANKS. I note that the officer looks at the over pass above us. I actually think this is funny! I call my husband with his cell. Admitting that I am nervous, and getting scared without a cell phone had me almost in tears. The officer, assured that I was OK, and that my husband was on his way, and was only 1 exit away, left, assuring me that he or his partner would check on me in half hour, at my request. My husband shows, and we wait together. The TOW comes. We get situated, and get the car towed to where it can be taken care of. I got to work about 4 hours too late. But I got there.
Where am I going with all this? my Lord Jesus protected me. He literally drove my car to the side of the road, and cleared a path over there. I wasn't injured or harmed during my time on the side of the road. I was always safe, and when I became frightened, he sent someone to check on me, to show that he was watching out for me, and taking care of me. I felt safe and secure in the hands of the Lord.
This is my testimony. Jesus is my Lord. He is my protector in stress, and my provider in times of need. I know that I can count on HIM when the going gets tough. I know that he will send someone to take care of me. For He loves me and wants me to be protected, and cared for at all times.
Also, what a beautiful Anniversary gift he gave to my parents. Protecting their child on their anniversary day. GOD IS AWESOME!
It is well with my soul.

Topic: Dreams, thoughts, etc
So, do dreams mean anything? I dreamed I was throwing a house party, at this really nice house. An un-invited person showed. The guest got his plate of food sat by me. I took his hand and said something to the effect that I needed to talk to him, led him to the front door, and locked him out. Completely. Then I realized that the kitchen door was unlocked so I rushed to lock it, running into my lady in waiting (??) who told me something, and I barely made it to the kitchen door. But I got it locked. Then I ran around the back, and out the yard, and to a room in a tower, separate from the house, where I found him in a room with my lady in waiting. I kicked her out, and proceeded to beat the guest up. Literally. Kicking, slapping, punching, tearing, he eventually disipated into tiny shreds. I went to where my lady in waiting was, saw her bruises, and proceeded to care for the bruises. I heard my husband's voice and I woke up. I felt refreshed. Dreams. What do they really mean? I have heard that dreams are desires come true. Dreams are your brain processing things that have hapened during the day. Dreams are wishes your heart makes. Dreams are ---- What was this dream?? Seeing as I knew the un-invited guest ... maybe I was taking out some revenge?? Or deleating him from my memory. Or he was in place of something that happened during the day at work, and he represented that situation from work? maybe and maybe not. Whatever the situation, I woke refreshed and ready to start the day, although I was rather tired, and rather stiff. All that fighting must have done a number on my beauty sleep. Oh well. The house was beautiful. Unlike any I have ever seen. It looked rather custom. I saw construction workers out the kitchen window working on the fence, and doing something with the driveway. It looked complicated, what ever was going on out there. The back yard was immaculate, complete with ponds, benches, flowers, trees, brick walks, a picnic table, squirrels, and even a duck. It was peaceful back there. Dreams, everyone has them, and everyone wonders what their dream ment. Me? I see the detail, and realize gosh, God has really blessed me with shelter, family, friends, peace, and the strength to overcome my past. That was my dream. Whoever the guest was is not important, What is important is that I defeated the imbodiment of my past in my dream. For that I am really blessed. HB :)

I am the author of all logs. I am the author of the log on AOL by mrybth and the author of the log at honeybeebug's weblog. Some of these blogs, I added here on this blog, other's I felt needed to stay there. Here are my thoughts at one location.

Owning up to the future
Mood:

Now Playing: TV is background
Topic: Future
As one thinks about the future, one needs to think about where they just came from. Is there something in your past unsaid or undone? Then it will continue to be so in the future. Did something in your past hurt you, or upset you, and now in your present you can't understand why something so simple is upsetting you? Take one situation,and ask yourself, what in my past is causing me to be upset about this simple thing today? When you understand where the emotion is coming from, your future looks alot more interesting, and bearable.

Finishing the Past
Mood:
mischievious
No one can go forward without finishing the past - Unknown Author
I saw this quote written down somewhere today and it caught my attention.
To me it means that in order for us to live completely in the present looking forward to the future, we need to come to terms with whatever it is that is in our past. Like it or not, everyone has some emotional baggage of some sort, and of various sizes. Once we embrace that and agree with ourselves that our past will no longer cripple us, we can then move forward. There are some whose past continues to linger, to be the reason why things don't go right. To those people I say feel the emotion that comes with the memory of the past, feel it deeply, share that memory. And then figure out how that is going to make you a better, and stronger person. Then move on. You need to face your past in order to go to the next step in life.

Memory Lane
Mood:
not sure
Now Playing: in the memory lane of my brain, Amazing Grace.
Topic: Plum Jam.
Tom's sister Sandy was telling me about some property her and her husband are looking into buying. Several acres of land. I was telling Tom later about how it would be nice to have several acres of land. That way I could have a peach tree, an apple tree, a cherry tree, a strawberry patch, and a plum tree...
When I said Plum Tree... I thought about Grandma and her Plum Jam. How delicious was her jam! Homemade, with love, and delicious stuff. Now that she is gone, so is the jam. So then I started thinking about all the other stuff she did. Brushed and braided my hair, made peach cobbler, plum jam, the best baked goods this side of the moon, christmas Bible verses, hugs and kisses... gosh I missed her tonight. Alot.
I know that some of my Aunts have learned to make the Jam. But grandma's jam was from plums she grew from her and grandpa's love and hard work. (key word is their love) I remember helping her pick those plums and peaches, and cherries, all for various confections, at various times of the year. and Yes even the strawberries. I wonder if that is why I so dearly want a home with a large enough back yard so I can have my own garden and carry on the family hobby?? Grandma's dear to her heart hobby was sewing, quilts that is. I haven't picked up that hobby, yet, but I love plants, and I have a desire to have a garden, always have wanted one. Grandma taught me about strawberries, and how you used your thumb and index to pluck the berries, and which ones were ripe, and which weren't, and needed more time to juicen up. Cucumbers! which are ripe, and which aren't.
I remembered it all tonight...I don't share the passion to quilt, (maybe someday I will share that too--it is a curious hobby) but I do share her desire to grow tender little things like berries, flowers, and plants. Then I remembered tonight that maybe she is making her plum jam for Jesus. I heard the gentle voice of Holy Spirit asking if I would share her jam. Of course! and with that things are better.
