STARBUCKS
I went by Starbucks on my way back to work at lunch to get a regular cup of coffee. It is freezing here so a nice cup of hot coffee sounded great. Something told me it would not be as easy as that. I order my grande coffee no room for cream she goes over starts to fill it up and low and behold STARBUCKS has NO COFFEE MADE!!!! How do you not have any coffee made? They have 2 or 3 (what look like to me) brewing stations and all of them are out of coffee all at the same time?? Somebody is not doing a good job of keeping it up. I need my caffeine and a cold coke will not do it for me. Ugh. She offered me something I can't remember the name of it but she said hot water and espresso. I said fine but then I would have to wait while they make everyone else's drinks. Which was like 5. If they just had some coffee made she could have poured it and I would have been on my merry little way. So I stand there for 2 minutes and realize I have to get back to work. I do not have time to wait on water and espresso. Besides they still had not made any of the other 5 drinks. I know this is trivial but still I wanted a cup of coffee.
Anywho it was in the 60's I think this morning when I woke up and currently it is in the 30's. It is suppose to snow and sleet tonight and tomorrow. Gotta love Oklahoma whether.

HEAVY HEART
My mom called me Sunday to tell me she had seen in the newspaper a girl I went to high school with had passed away. Well she is a woman now, 30 years old. Although I have not spoken to here in years I was sad to hear this. I was best friends with her cousins. They were very close so I knew her pretty well back in the day. Things change so much after high school. I only saw her a couple of times after she graduated. I am not sure what happened to her. Her funeral was today at 2p.m. It is 3 hours away where it is being held so I could not make it. It's just wierd to think of her so young and now she is gone. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her and her family. I pray that they seek GOD at this time. He can give them comfort. It is so awesome to know he can wrap his arms around me when I am sad and let me know I will be ok. I will make it through difficult times. No matter what he is always there. I don't know what her relationship was with GOD I just hope it was enough to get her into the book of life.
Over the past couple of months I have noticed a significant change about me. I can only credit GOD for the change. Before when certain things didn't go the way I wanted or thought they would I would stress out and panic. I would always try to be strong for my husband if he ever paniced but would often break down and panic with him. But over the last couple of months and really seeking to know GOD and be more like him I have noticed I don't stress out or panic. Don't get me wrong thoughts come into my head but I fight them with prayer and scriptures. And when my husband paniced for a few minutes I didn't panic with him. There are some things going on right now that a couple of months ago would have stressed me out and tried to make me doubt GOD but today it doesn't not affect me like that. GOD had to put me in check on what is important and what is not, he is important, his kingdom work is important, the things we go through naturally can not compare to him. I just LOVE GOD so much. He is so awesome. It's not always easy but with him all things are possible.

IRS
After working in the accounting field for years I already knew why the IRS had a bad reputation. They are very difficult to work with. Especially when they are wrong. You have to go through so many steps to prove to them that they did something wrong. Well its even worse when its your personal records you are having to prove they or someone else did something wrong.
Here is my story. Back this summer I got a letter from the IRS saying that I did not report all of my wages for 2004. So they said I owed more money. My first thought was what did I do wrong. After looking over my taxes for that time I could not find anything wrong. So I called IRS and asked them what this was about they said that I had wages from working in North Carolina that I did not report. I have NEVER been to North Carolina, I repeat I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO NORTH CAROLINA!!!! You would not believe what I am going through having to prove this. I spoke with the lady that I supposedly worked for. She did not have my name or a soc sec # even close to mine for that year or any year. I had so many days that I had to send in a response to the IRS trying to prove why I didn't owe that amount. I sent in my letter stating I have never been to, lived in or worked in North Carolina in my lifetime. So I had to sit and wait for a response. I got my letter yesterday form the IRS and guess what? They say I still owe the money. Now my boss is going to write a letter stating I worked in OK in 04 and there is no way I could have worked somewhere else. I am trying to get in touch with the lady I supposedly worked for in North Carolina to see if she will write a letter so I can send them in to the IRS. Other than that I have no idea how I can get them to believe me. Ugh!! This is so crazy and frustrating. Please pray for me.
