In the Beginning

So, because of the insane amount of thoughts in my head from day to day, I've decided to start a blog. It will be good to clear my head, and this is a great way for friends/family to keep up with my life. Here we go!

First thing: There is a homeless guy named Jessie who lives under the stairs outside of my house. The first time that I noticed he was there, he scared the crap out of me just because I was not expecting someone to be there. Jessie is a nice guy and we do not mind him living there, but I feel like I should do something more than give him some food and a blanket. I'm not really sure what, but I'm praying about it. Honestly, Jessie is a constant reminder of how God has blessed me way beyond my deserving. The picture below is my house!


Second thing: I love receiving letters from people. I have saved almost every letter/note/card that I have ever received. I love re-reading them since they are all so encouraging. I even have some of my favorites hanging up into my office, and I'd like to share my favorite with you. It's from my friend Mike, and he gave it to me our senior year of high school. The card is titled "You'd Be My Friend No Matter What," and the cover looks like a comic strip with two dogs. They go back and forth and one of the dogs says something like "I have gas" and the other dog says "That's okay." It continues on with the one dog giving all of these excuses of why the other shouldn't be his friend but the other dog never abandons his dog friend. Then on the inside it says "So I guess you're stuck with me. Get used to it." I love this card and will keep it forever.

Third, and final thing for now: I love Rosie Thomas. Whenever I am stressed, I will pop in her CD, and feel a little better. There has been one song that is been stuck in my head for a few days now. I'll share the lyrics with you:

"Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life
Every marigold I pass below will be my guiding light
I just want to go away from here

Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life
Every time the wind blows stronger,
I will feel my spirit rise
I just want to go away from here

Oh, tie me up tightly by your side
So I may go with you where ever you reside
And anytime the road looks dimmer
I will be your guiding light
I just want to go away with you
I just want to go away with you"

Until Next time....
