NOTE
I found this note I had written to GOD and myself.
Although I want to give my family natural things I hear GOD tell me first I must give them spiritual things. My flesh is in constant struggle with my spirit. It tells me I need certain natural things to be complete and happy and my spirit tells me that's not true. That then makes me think if I can give my family and friends natural things they will be happier, but telling them about GOD and salvation is the best gift I can give them.
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

RECIPE -- Ziplock Omelet
I haven't tried this yet but I can't wait to make my husband an omelet and see how it turns out. I don't know if anyone else has tried it or not but my friend at work tried it and said it is as easy as it sounds.
- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: sausage, bacon, cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, mushrooms, etc.
- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes.
- Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
- Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
- Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!!

WRITING
I love to write poetry. It has progressed over the years. I started writing in middle school about my best friends, then in high school about how much I disliked boys that hurt me, college more friends and boyfriend poetry. Then I got saved. This is the first poem I wrote after I accepted Christ into my life.
FAITH
IN A WORLD FULL OF GREED
DISHONESTY AND DESPAIR
NEVER LOSE FAITH
GOD IS THERE
WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE
AND LOSE SIGHT
THE DEVILS STRONG BUT HE
WON'T WIN THIS FIGHT
GOD IS THERE TO GUIDE
YOU THROUGH
PRAY FROM THE HEART
HE HAS ROOM FOR YOU
PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS
AND GOD TO COME INTO YOUR HEART
HE'LL GUIDE YOU AND SHOW YOU
ITS THE RIGHT START
GOD WILL HELP YOU
FIGHT THE TEMPTATION
BUT MAKE THE EFFORT
AND PRAY FOR SALVATION
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE LOST
YOU'LL ACT LIKE IT TO
BUT WHEN GOD'S ON YOUR SIDE
YOU'LL FEEL BRAND NEW
THINGS CAN GET HARD
AND BE PRETTY ROUGH
GOD IS THE ANSWER
HE'LL MAKE YOU TOUGH
NO MATTER YOUR TROUBLE
OR TRIBULATION
LEAVE IT TO GOD AND HE'LL
SHOW YOU, YOUR DESTINATION
One thing I can't do is sing but I would love to turn some of my poetry into songs. One day I believe that will happen. Not with me singing of course but someone else.

I have came a might long way
I have been a born again bible believing Christian since Nov 98. I have learned a lot and know I have plenty more to learn. If the situation I am in would have happened a couple of years ago, no make that a couple of months ago I would be going crazy right now. I want to share it with out getting to personal but I don't want to seem vain.(if that's even the right word) I know a HUGE testimony will come of this that's why I want to post what I am going through now so when GOD does what he is going to do I can post our testimony. A little over a month ago we invested $X,000.00 in a business venture, it is borrowed money. Our return would be $X,000.00 a month for as long as the company is in business. It was presented as a great freight business. Everyone needs to ship something every now and then right? So we borrowed $X g's then invested it. Mind you we did this with out praying!!! Big mistake. Why didn't we? Um don't have a good answer for that one. Anyway a week later we were looking at new houses in the town where we sold our house 7 months ago. We found a housing addition building new homes. We were in the town to visit friends and decided to just go looking around. We decided we would fast and pray and ask GOD if it was ok to buy a house (we live in a apt now). After much fasting and praying GOD said it was ok to buy a house. After him saying yes I of course started having doubt and trying to think to much. Our first step was getting approved for a loan. We filed bankruptcy and it was discharged in Feb 03. Not the best to have on your credit. So I was fearful we wouldn't be approved although I know GOD said it was ok for us to get a house. Well it came back and we were approved with a 6.75% interest rate which is right where we need it to have the right house payment. So we picked out a floor plan and got to pick out colors, cabinets, floors all the good stuff cause ya know we will be getting that xtra $X,000 a month right. Well now the trucking business isn't going so good so who knows when or if we will get that $X a month. Keep in mind we have a monthly payment on the $X we borrowed to invest. One thing we did learn is more about the trucking business. So now we have decided to get some trucks and start a company. Well in order to do that we need some more money. After PRAYING about this one we are stepping out on FAITH and TRUST in GOD and we are using some credit cards to get started. We close on our house FEB 1, 07. By that time we need to be able to pay off the charges we put on our credit cards and have a down payment for closing. A few months ago I would be going crazy with this, having to pay back $X,000, putting money on our credit card and having to pay it off and having to come up with a down payment to buy a house. BUT I completely TRUST GOD. I know what he is capable of. I know some people are going through something a lot worse than this but this is what I am going through at the moment. I just put everything in GOD's hand that he will bless it and do all that I can do here on earth and I know it will all work out cause that's the kind of GOD I serve.

I have often wondered why certain things happen. How could GOD allow certain things to happen? I thought I would get the answer when I got to heaven but then my question really wouldn’t matter.
To look at the world we live in and to see the things that happen sometimes it can be scary. Murders, Rapes, Wars, sickness and death. I often wonder why are people raped or killed or afflicted with sickness. I thought it is so unfair to those people. Especially the innocent GOD fearing people. How could GOD allow things like that to happen? Then I thought of a true story. One that I have heard many times. One that thousands or more like millions of people have heard over and over for years. It is the story of JESUS. He lived a perfect life on earth for 33 years. I don’t know about you but it’s hard for me to live perfect for 33 days. He did not give in to temptation, he loved everyone, even his enemy’s. He gave GODLY advice; he was not bitter and did not hate those that hated him. He was pure, his heart was pure, his motives were pure yet he suffered. He did not deserve the pain of the beatings he took, he did not deserve to die nailed to a cross but he did. If he died like that who are we not to suffer and feel pain and heart ache? We are defiantly not better than he is. We don’t want to suffer; we don’t want anyone to suffer. As for me I can’t question why anymore. All I can do is seek his comfort and peace and his everlasting love.
I don't deserve him or his love but he gives it to me anyway!! Worship him today, love on him today, glorify him today.
THE BLOOD
HIS ARMS STRETCHED OUT OPEN WIDE
THE PAIN ON HIS FACE HE COULD NOT HIDE
HIS CLOTHES STAINED CRIMSON RED
A CROWN OF THORNS UPON HIS HEAD
EACH WRIST WAS NAILED AND ANKLES TOO
HIS SIDE WAS PIERCED, BLOOD AND WATER RAN THROUGH
THE PEOPLE PERSECUTED HIM THAT DAY
AND HE SAID FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY SAY
BEFORE HE DIED HE LET OUT A LOUD CRY
ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACTHANI
AFTER THAT THE VEIL WAS TORN IN TWO
THE EARTH QUAKED AND THE ROCKS SPLIT TOO
KING OF THE JEWS IS WHAT THE CROSS SAID
SOME LAUGHED SOME CRIED UNTIL HE WAS DEAD
THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD KILLED A REGULAR MAN
BUT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS I AM THAT I AM

RECIPES
If any of you have any good casserole recipes with ground beef I would love to get them. Our best friends mother is terminally ill and they just gave her 24 hours to live today. I will be making food and taking it over there while they are going through this rough time. I would appreciate any recipes you have that are good as left overs also. You can leave them in the comments or email them to me at lovelikechrist@hotmail.com. Thanks so much and please remember this family in your prayers.

CRICKETS
We have a lot of crickets trying to invade our apartment. They are soo loud. It's hard to sleep because of them. It is so annoying. They some how end up in our apartment. We also have locusts I think this what they are and they are extremely loud too. So when I get to work this morning guess what's outside my window chirping like crazy a cricket. Ugh.

This is Sixer at his best.
These bones help me keep my sanity.
Isn't he soo adorable.
This is the 1st weekend we got Sixer. 
Not a great picture of me but then again I don't like any of my pictures. Hubby and me.
What a handsome man my hubby is.
This is why I don't have a lot of visitors. I run out of stuff to talk about. My life is unadventurous. I haven't done anything fun, I haven't bought anything good. Hmm. And that must be why I don't post often. So I will post pics of Sixer my adorable pug and Dos my adorable husband.

I LOVE AUGUST!!!!
I bet your wondering why I love August. That means football is starting back up. I love me some football. Right now its just scrimmages but thats fine by me I will watch them. The OU team had what some say is a setback with their "star" quarterback getting kicked off so now they had to beg the quarterback that got to play one half of the very first game last year and got benched to move back to the quarterback position. He did not get a fair shot last year at making it for quarterback. I hope he has a great year and shows that he has what it takes to be the quarterback. I like OSU (Oklahoma State) also. I did not go to either but since I live in OK I will support both. My pro team is the Cowboys. Hopefully they will be better this year. Anywho thats all for now folks.

HAIR
I am having a good hair day. Yeah for me. My hair is straight and thin so anytime I can get it to do something and look good I am excited. I think the saying goes Fashion foward? I am not, I am behind. I try to get my hair to be poofy on the crown of my head. When I say poofy I don't mean high as in older styles but just poofy. I really don't know what you call it. Anyway I got it to be poofy today just the way I want it. If my camera would download to my computer I would show ya but it won't do that for some reason. I am getting my hair colored tonight. I guess they stopped saying dyed. I just turned 29 in July and I have A LOT of gray hair. So dye I must. When my hair was light brown almost blonde you couldn't really see the gray but now that it is dark and when my hair starts growing you can REALLY see the gray. My sis is 6 years older than me and if she did not COLOR her hair she would be COMPLETELY gray. Ugh. No offense to anyone that is grey headed but I don't want to be grey. To me it makes you look older than what you are. So tonight I will get my hair colored and trimmed. Yeah no more gray!!!!

I have read several blogs that say they make money off of their site. Does anyone know how this works? X-tra money would be great.
You probably have to have a lot of visitors, which I do not. You probably need to be able to be witty and funny, which I am not. Oh well maybe I could make a little bit anyway. Maybe that way I could be a SAHW. (STAY AT HOME WIFE). Since I am not a mother I can't be a SAHM.
I am sitting at work right now resisting the temptation to go get a candy bar out of the breakroom. I only have an hour left. I need some major will power right now. We'll see if I can do it.

I feel like ever since I got Sixer all I say is "No Sixer", "Stop Sixer". I know he is excited to see me when I get home but I can't get him to stop biting me or the couch. He does not want to sleep through the night. He gets up between 2 and 4 am and does not want to go back to sleep. Maybe he will grow out of this. I hope so because I am not getting much sleep anymore. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
