I just wanted to give a big ole Southern "Howdy!" to all of my international readers. I don't know who you are or how you ended up on my blog, but welcome and hello. May you find something here that perhaps you were looking for ... or maybe even something you weren't.

Well, as of tomorrow I’ll be one very short month away from my 30th birthday. I’d like to start by saying I do not, by any means, think that 30 is old. I think what is blowing me away about 30 is all of the years I have lived. It is really overwhelming for me to even think about the last 30 years. I mean I’ve been alive 10,925 days ... that’s a lot of days with a lot of events and feelings and

An acquaintance of mine just wrote this on a social networking site: "If more believers were as outward with their faith like [Tim] Tebow, he wouldn't look so crazy to the world." And to that I give a big Baptist "Amen!" ... I think what he said there is what I've been trying to say about so many things lately but I've been coming up short with the right words (hence the lack of posts here lately

O Thou whose bounty fills my cup, With every blessing meet! I give Thee thanks for every drop— The bitter and the sweet. I praise Thee for the desert road, And for the riverside; For all Thy goodness hath bestowed, And all Thy grace denied.

I go to therapy. I think I’ve mentioned that before. My therapist is a lovely lady. I’ve been going to her for a couple of years now and she gets me. Thank goodness. Someone finally gets me. :) Anyways ... I went this morning and spilled my guts to her, as I usually do. The conversation went one way and then the other and at the end of the appointment she suggested something to me that she had

I'm afraid ... after nearly 30 years ... no one has truly seen who I am. I don't think I've ever seen who I really am. I have allowed other people to dictate who I am my entire life. I liked what other people liked so they would like me. I acted like other people wanted me to act so they would like me. My whole life has been one big show of me doing what I thought was necessary to be liked. The

Just in the last 4 hours have I become obsessed with 2 new websites. If you know me well enough you know that I am over the top organized. I know where everything is at any given time and I clean out my closets and drawers at least once a month. I just can't stand the clutter. I'm the complete opposite of a hoarder. So .... after browsing these sites I just want to run home and clean out

Last weekend I watched the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and decided to do a juice and vegetable "cleanse". Truth is I haven't felt well in week and I decided this might be a good way to feel better. Here's a little (low quality) video about Day 1 for your viewing pleasure.

I've always been a fan of older movies. There is just something about the clothes, the vivid colors and the innocents of movies made in the 40's and 50's. They make me feel cozy. So, I watch them as often as possible. I probably average 8-10 movies a week (thanks Netflix). That might sound pitiful to you ... I think it sounds wonderful ... and it IS wonderful. A couple of weekends ago I watch a

I have a tendency to complicate things. It’s not on purpose. It’s just that I think too much about ... well ... everything. So if you say something is red I am going to look at it until I figure out what shades of red it is and if maybe it is more pink than actually red. That’s just one example of many I can think of. I just have a hard time keeping things simple. My faith is the same way.

I grew up Southern Baptist. I’m still Southern Baptist. I have at one time or another actually referred to myself as the poster child for the Sothern Baptist Convention. There are many things I embrace and love so dearly about the denomination I was raised in. The sweet hymns being one of the most important. But this blog isn’t about that though. Although, while we’re talking about it, “Heavenly

Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what

Tonight I decided to go through a box of things I have from my childhood. It turned out to be the most hilarious thing I have done in a long time. I found stuff that had me crying I was laughing so hard. I was the most hilarious kid. Greatest thing about it all .... not all that much has changed. I picked out a few gems for you. Enjoy! Apparently February 19, 1991 was the worst day of my LIFE!

I have this habit of taking pictures of everything on my phone. I guess my college degree in photography has boiled down to this. Often times I'll look back through my photos and think, "Why in the world did I take a photo of that?" Nevertheless, here are a few of them.

I love history. It has always been my favorite subject. My grades didn't always reflect it, though. Actually they never did. I blame it on bad teaching. I am sure I was the perfect student. It had to be bad teaching. I love watching history being told right in front of my face. I love knowing that someday my kids (hopefully) or nieces or whomever, will be learning things in text books that I

Would you believe that I didn’t know what DIY stood for until about a year ago? Seriously ... I’m 29 years old and I had no idea. But thanks to the DIY channel on TV, I now know that it stands for - Do It Yourself. I decided to try a DIY project of my very own. I have been in my house for almost 4 years now and the artwork I had over my bed was starting to bother me. It just wasn’t what I

So after my first niece was born and could talk, she started calling my Aunt Jayne, Scooterbunky. I have no idea why or how but she did and so now we like to refer to Jayne as Scooterbunky. I quite like it. I think the first time I ever had this pizza was with Scooterbunky. Or she made it and we ate it somewhere. Or she made it and told mom how good it was and then mom made it. I'm not sure.

I need to backtrack a little. I fear I have forgotten what it was like to actually blog about things that are interesting and not just my silly feelings. Feelings ... nothing more than feelings ... So let's hop in our time machine and go back a few weeks. I heard that Steve Martin was coming to town with his banjo tour and I almost flipped out. Flipped. I HAD to go because I am obsessed

there are times when writing is the only thing i can focus on. i have a million things i need to be doing right now and all i can think to do is write. i feel like i need to write about how perfectly today played out and how tomorrow will do the same. i truly believe, no matter how some moments might feel, that love will win in my life. i'm not even talking about romantic love between myself and

I’d like to think that I matter to someone. I think that’s what I’ve struggled with the most in my 29 years. I’m not sure I believe that I matter to anyone. I’ve tried to figure out what it is that has been such an obstacle in my life. I thought I wasn’t pretty enough, funny enough, or smart enough. I didn’t think I had the right job or the right laugh. And the truth is ... it isn’t any of

The problem with feelings is that we have them. Yep. I should end this blog here and bid you goodbye. But I like the fact that you are reading this far too much for me to walk away now. Call me self-centered. See if it bothers me ...... ok don’t. It would bother me and then I would have to write a blog about how I am not self-centered. Don’t make me do it.

Let’s talk about some things I learned about myself this weekend ... shall we? Great! I’m glad you agree. Now, let’s get cozy and chat. Somewhere around 11:00 PM on Saturday night I realized that not everyone wants to be taken care of. I have this desire inside of me to take care of everyone ... if I have something you like I’ll offer it to you. If you have stuff that needs to get done and you

i believe sometimes you hear the Lord telling you to just hold on. just be patient. and just wait. other times i believe you can hear him tell you that now is the time to walk away. and walking away is usually not the easiest thing. i have recently felt the tug of my spirit telling me it's time to surrender some of my biggest hopes and dreams because what i had planned for my life isn't what

this world seems to have so much to offer ... money, fast cars, success, delicious food, pretty babies, perfect weddings, handsome men, sweet kisses, good music, pretty nail polish, massages, laughter, hugs, unexpected text messages that make you smile ...  and so on and so on. sometimes i find myself dwelling on how deeply i want these things ... only to realize that those things are not the

it's been awhile since i've really sat down and written. i mean really let my heart do the talking. sometimes it seems easier to just show what's going on on the surface and let everyone think things are good or bad or indifferent. but i have more to say than what my flesh portrays. a lot more to say. lately i've realized that i'm an adult. i'm "pushing 30" and i'm just now realizing that i am a

i was fortunate enough to get 2 week off from work for Christmas. one of the great perks of my new job. (which i seem to have failed to have mentioned. i am now the assistant to an agent at a talent/booking agency called CAA.) so i came home to Mississippi for the couple of weeks. and then we went to Charlotte, NC for Christmas ... and it snowed. it's been so great to have some time off (with a

if you would have told me 2 months ago that i would be the happiest i've ever been today i would have probably smiled at you and acted like you weren't crazy ... but i would have thought you were crazy. i'm just being honest. truth is though ... i am happier than i've ever been. life is wonderful and God finally got through to me. it was worth the 28 years of hurt and tears to get to where i am

Day 30- a picture last day of the 30 day blogs.  and all i'm suppose to do is post a picture. harder than it sounds. you'll probably think it is weird that i chose this one but i do have a reason. first of all this was a show a couple of months ago at the arena here in town. it was a benefit for the country music hall of fame. it was amazing. john mayer was there. enough said? anyways. this

Day 28-Something that stresses you out work. yep. unfortunately the one thing in life that i have just have to do stresses me out. don't get me wrong ... i am so blessed to be working.  but not working is so much less stressful.  having to get used to other people's quirks and the way a company runs can be stressful.  i'm trying to keep the stress down though. really. i'm trying.

Day 24-Something you've learned i had 2 months off from work. and so i had a lot of time to think. and this is what i've learned. 1. you will be happy when you strip your life down to the bare bones. if you are unhappy at work ... start looking for something new. if people are not treating you the way you should be treated ... get rid of them. strip it down and get happy. 2. if someone

Day 23- Favorite Vacation Place oh this one is easy. very easy. naples, florida. let me explain something ... i've been to europe - france, italy, switzerland ... and it's a great place to visit but it isn't a vacation. especially your first time around. going places like that is a trip. a full blown trip. there is very little R&R involved. so back to naples. it's beautiful. all year round

Day 16-Dream house my dream house is one that is completely paid for. no matter what it looks like. the end. ok. just kidding. it would look a little something something like this: it wouldn't be exactly like this but close.it would be a little bigger with a wrap around porch. and i want the front door to be 2 double doors. with old screen doors that slam when you close them.

Day 13-Goals i'm just going to go ahead and say i don't really set goals. maybe i should but i can't really see the point. i used to make a list of goals and then i was sad when i hadn't met them so i think i'd rather fly by the seat of my pants. i'd rather make a plan than a goal. my sister says that "plans are like umbrellas in the rain". don't worry. she said i could quote her. so right

Day 3: Your first love strangely enough i have no idea. i have never been in love. i did have a giant size crush on zack morris from saved by the bell. we'll consider him my first love. let's just say it didn't work out ... he didn't feel the same.

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name my blog's name is "one day at a time." cute huh? it has that name because that's how i HAVE to do life ... one day at a time. if i don't do it that way i get so overwhelmed and strung out that i'm not even myself.  so until the Lord calls me home i'm just doing His work here on earth ... one day at a time. there is also a really old hymn that i sing almost

i'm getting completely overwhelmed with all of this. completely. the first 2 weeks felt a little like vacation. that feeling is gone and now i'm just scared. the possibility of having to sell my house is pretty big at this point. unfortunately the jobs that i think will make me happy pay WAY less than my last job. so that leaves me living in a house that doesn't even feel like mine anymore. i

this morning mom and i got out bright and early to walk through campus on a football game day. it's been years since i've been on campus and it was wonderful. i wish i had enjoyed it more when i was in school here. i only saw 2 people i knew. but to be honest i was glad. i wasn't there to impress anyone or tell my sob story of not having a job. i was there to be with my mom and to enjoy the

i don't have anything poetic to say. it's been quite a ride the last 2 months or so. i've been asking the Lord to change me. in an obvious way. i've been ready to make a new start ... dream my dreams ... and expect the best. i took a trip to see my sister and her family a few weeks ago. it was so great. i worked a lot. put out some new great projects. did the best i could. and then i lost

i've been praying a lot lately that something drastic would change in my life. something big. huge. massive. something so great that i wouldn't be able to say no. something inside of me says it's time for a change. i haven't had the "bomb dropped on me" yet. i'm not putting a time limit on the change. i'm actually waiting patiently ... which alone is actually something big. huge. and massive.

i've been doing A LOT of looking inwards the last week or so. more than i would normally like, but it's what has been necessary as i grow up.i was thinking about all the wonderful things my mother has taught me and is still teaching me. that's the great thing about moms ... they keep teaching. i'm pretty sure i am learning more now than i did as a child because i am actually listening. wish i had

when were we taught that only good is to be rewarded? when were we taught that the only way to get the prize was to do something exceptional or come to the end of the race perfectly?maybe i wasn't taught that exactly, but when did i get brainwashed into thinking i had to be perfect and that the only way to get what i wanted was by being perfect?when did i start thinking that only perfect behavior

there was a flood this week. not only has my city flooded. but my heart seems to have as well. some of my friendships have been shaken and seem to barely be bobbing their heads above the water. it happens. its happened before. it'll happen again. but i'll never get used to it.just when you think you have built your "house" high enough ... the waters come rushing in. and all your stuff is floating

so i was thinking the other day about how fun it is to make a wish list. for some reason even though i know i can't afford most of the things i want it's fun to just make the list anyways. so.here is my current wish list. some things i might actually be able to get. i also accept gifts. :)1. forever 21 sunglassescost: $5.802. diamond hoop earringscost: $1700.003. william rast jeanscost: $199.004.

christmas, my child, is love in action ... when you love someone, you give to them, as God gives to us. the greatest gift He ever gave was the person of His Son, sent to us in human form so that we might know what God the Father is really like! every time we love, every time we give, it's christmas.

gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. it turns what we have into enough, and more. it turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. it can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.- melody beattie
