I think they call it perma-smile

I think I have a permanent smile on my face. #1) God is awesome and blesses me like crazy every day, #2) God blesses me with surprise nights like tonight, #3) did I mention that God is awesome? So, I've been incredibly patient and faithful in a certain aspect of my life-not on my own, with God's help mind you- and I'm starting to see God's reward for this. Nothing is sweeter than God's rewards! I'm really really excited. On that note, I'm out like the ATM @ the "get rich quick" convention.

I answered...

The pool was calling my name, I pulled a few strings at work-so I'm out...by the pool.

CRAZY

So, it's Tuesday morning and I have to leave to go to work in about 20 minutes. The sun is shining and the pool is CALLING MY NAME! It whispers..."Megan, come and swim all day long" as I blow dry my hair. By the time I'm putting on my makeup, it's SCREAMING at the top of it's aqualungs. Geez, I hope I'm on standby today. Summer has a hold on me and I have "workitis," self-diagnosed of course.
Anyway...on to more important things. Lately God has really been speaking to me about faith and patience. I've been reading the book of James and the messages over the past few nights have been to have faith and show it in your deeds, Godly wisdom, and submitting myself to God. This pertains to all aspects of my life right now. It's just amazing how God's word is so relevant even after so many years. WOW! God blows me away. So does laughing. And so does being crazy and having fun...and I heard this song yesterday @ work that reminded me of a friend of mine, it's definitely my song of the moment!

Same Kind Of Crazy: Delbert McClinton

Did you ever meet somebody who likes all the same things you do?
Somebody who can make you or break you any time they want to?
I met her at a red-light, love at first sight, can this be true?
Well, she's good for me an' she told me I was good for her too.
Now I don't wanna jump into anything,I been tryin' to use some self-restraint.
But, man, it's amazin': she's the same kinda crazy as me.
It's gettin' hard to use a ladder 'cause I keep climbin' down just to kiss her.
An' if she's out of my sight for a minute or two, I start to miss her.
We stay all tangled up in each other's arms an' it's so nice.
She talks in her sleep but she always gets my name right.
If there's anything at all that's wrong with her,It's somethin' I just can't see.
Ain't no doubt about it: she's the same kinda crazy as me.
Wild, wild nights,Chasin' each other through the moonlight.
My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right.
'Cause every little offbeat move she makes, just suits me to a tee.
There ain't no doubt about it: she's the same kinda crazy as me.
Instrumental break.
Wild, wild nights,We're chasin' each other through the moonlight.
My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right.
'Cause every little offbeat move she makes, just suits me to a tee.
There ain't no doubt about it: she's the same kinda crazy as me.
You know what I'm sayin? She's the same kinda crazy as me.Oh, yeah.

So on that note...I'm out like straight jackets @ an insane asyulum.

Over the edge

I'm so glad that I am a new person in Christ. In the past I would put my emotions in the hands of boys who I thought cared about me and leave it up to them to make me happy. Now I have joy rather than happiness. A joy that can only come from God. Happiness is based on a situation...and right now I don't got any (isn't that a beautiful sentence coming from an English major?). Anywho, the point is that guys have always let me down. I'm over the edge now and it is going to take A LOT to let anybody get anywhere remotely close to my heart. In fact, my heart is SO hidden in Christ now that a guy is going to have to go through God to get to it! I like this. :-) On that note, I'm out like my heart used to be on my sleeve!

1 Timothy 1:15-16

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life." 1 Timothy 1:15-16

Wow...those verses are SO powerful. To think that God took a sinner like me and turned my life around so that others would see His patience. As messed up as I am, He is using me. WOW! That's all I can say. I think those verses say enough. I'm out like a porch light in the ghetto.
