1. I want to thank Cindy for taggin me in this cause I really don't know if I can come up with 25 random things.... LOL.. THANKS CINDY!!
2. We are currently looking for a hypoallergenic dog right now. I want a small one but Brad says if he gets mad at it he might punt it like a football.. I really hope he is just kidding..
3. Our house has been on the market almost a month now with Rowland Prudential.
4. I don't like change. It seems that is all my life consists of though. So I guess I am just getting used to it.
5. I have attended Rockvale Elementary In Rockvale Tennesssee... K-2 and a few months of 4th. And I was queen one year.
6.I also atteneded Meadow Lane Elementary In Olathe,KS for 3rd grade.. We only lived in Olathe for 15 months..
7. I also lived in Independence, Kansas from 4th to 6th grades and Have managed to keep in touch with my friend Brianna ever since I moved away. We might have went like 1 yr and half without communicating at all. Which I think is amazing to stay in touch after all this time.
8. I live in Cataula, Ga as well. I attended Harris County Middle school and for High School I went to Calvary Christian School in Columbus, GA and that is where I graduated.
9. I grew up in church all my lifebut there were times that I did not want to go and even despised God. Until about 4 years ago I really rode the fence of living for HIM and/or NOT living for HIM. Now I just know it is not where we go to church or what religion/demonination we are; it is ALL ABOUT HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
10. I worked at Claire's Accessories for over 2 years and LOVED IT but I also met people who did not influence my life inthe Best of ways.
11. I have tried the worldly ways... Drinking, Smoking(Cigarettes and illegal grass), Sex, etc and know that there is NO HIGH LIKE THE MOST HIGH!! GOD the Father, GOD the SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT!
12. I am a proud Teen Challenge Graduate. I was a resident for 22 months.. I tell you THAT IS WHAT GOD USED TO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER!!!
13. UMMM. I have been married over a year. And did not realize that marriage is so hard and is alot of work. But I am so thankful that I am sticking with it.
14. I have a son in heaven. His name is Samuel Owen Snyder and was born on April 10th, 2008 at 23 weeks and 6 days.. He was 1 pound 10 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long. He was definitely a miracle baby cause I was always told that I would never be able to have children. Now I am gonna have a surgery to help me go to full term. I should have the surgery by the end of FEBRURARY THIS YEAR Maybe March!! But we will wait a while still to have anymore.. Unless God has other plans.
15. I played softball and basketball growing up.. But once I moved to GA I just stuck with basketball cause GA was too hot for me to play outside.
16. When I was little and playing coach pitch.. my dad was our coach and I had a bee I think it was a sweat bee that got under my shirt and yes dad had to take my shirt off while I was out at 2nd base. THank God I did not get stung cause I am allergic. But that was undoubtedly one of the most embarrassing childhood moments that I had.
17. I am a daughter, grandaughter, sister, aunt, mom and wife.. I also try to be a good friend.. I was not always good at this growing up cause we moved around alot and it was hard making friends and leaving all the time. So if I never gave you the chance growing up or was rude to you I apologize now.. It was a defense mechanism.
18. I attend 2 churches right now but praying to find one closer to our house soon.I go to World Outreach cause it is where most of my fam goes and cause my uncle is the pastor.I also go with my Granny to Family Worship. Bro. Brian and Sis Darla has always been there for me before, during, and now with my life. Bro. Brian's Mom would even take me out for luchh a couple of time while I was in Teen Challenge.

21. I realize NOW that all our parents want for us is THE BEST and they will do whatever it take to help us get there.
22. I pray that I am living the way the Lord wants me to and that it is pleasing in HIS SIGHT.
23. I pray to have a ministry one day. NOT sure what it is going to be. But I am eager to see cause I know that is what we are all called to do.
24. I no longer have my gallbladder.. THANK GOD..
25. I absolutely love young and the Restless. I always watched it with mom growing up and it is my time to get away when it is on or I DVR it and take a moment out to watch it.

Just waiting... Waiting and Anticipating.

Just Another DAY of FAITH!!

Today has been one of those days where you are scared to fall asleep and scared to what you will wake up to. I had a really hard time going to sleep. And I know God is just strengthing me and making me stronger cause he does not like for to get too comfortable for too long..

Well, this morning when Brad arrived home( I had just dosed off too) from work he started a load of laundry. He has really started to be helpful around here and we are starting to be helpful to one another. More so lately than ever. Well, right after he started it I got up and realized I needed a can of cream or mushroom soup. How I did not have one I did not know... Really I didn't.. And I did not want to get out. Well He went to go get the cream of mushroom soup cause I did not want to get out in the cold..LOL. Well as soon as he walked out the door I heard our toilet bubble then a weird noise up in the bath tub.. I was scared to even go look at it.. So did not until he got back. Bless his heart I have not heard him cuss that bad in a long time. Adn I was gettin sick caue me stomach is weak when it comes to certain things..

Brad tried and tried to use the plunger.. But geezz yall.. The sewage was over takin the tub and thetoilet and then our guest toilet.. I thought. I don't use tampons and I try to just put a lil bit of paper down there.. Thank God my family's company is jack of all trades.. LOL.. I called my brother since he is over the plumbing dept. And He was like have you put tampons down there I said NO... He said I see.. He said well we do kinda have a open day we will send someone out there.. They actually don't service this far out but since they were not too awfully busy they helped a daughter and sister out!! It was kinda embarrassing and I can't believe I rambled in to all this.. But needless to say BABY WIPES/ FACIAL wipes that say that they are FLUSHABLE DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!! Cause they will clogg your whole house up quick!!! It was embarassing caues they were sitting on the toilet and Seth that works with them is who came out and is not family and he said you have been flushin them down cause that is all I pulled out... I was VERY embarrassed. And Brad wass just trying to sleep in the guest room in all this... BUt it was too much noise... So Seth got in and out by noon. And I was cleaning the toilets and our tub in bleach, lysol and pine sol... Brad went to our room to sleep after Seth left.. My Family's business is at: http://thompsonservicesinc.com
Check out I know they serve Rockvale, Murfreesboro, Franklin, and Nashville AREAS

As soon as Seth left and Brad got settled and I got dinner ready and settled.. I go to lay on the couch and the phone rang.. I really envy you people that deal with insurance for a living.. Really I don't ... Mom and I have been dealing with numerous of people and places and insurance for over 7 months now.. Brad and I have had to get a loan out to pay bills and now we have our house on the market cause our loan is running then and bills are still coming in.

The phone call was from MTMC.. Might I add I just talked with them not even two weeks ago. And they of course did not know all the bills we have faced nor that we are facing currently. I explained myself for the thousandth time.. So finally I told the dudeman to fax the info to the office to my mom that she has the folder, the account money to pay from, and everything on EXCEL sheet and we sit down once a month to go through this. SO mom recieved the fax and figured out we owed about 600 to them and they were willing to giving us a 10 percent discount after the fact of me fuming and just having to get mom involved cause I feel people don't truly understand our situation and I also understand they have to get paid.. I said Lord how much more of this am I gonna have to go through and he showed me that people are willing if we are willing.. I am just glad it was 500 something instead of 600 something.. God knows I try to have patience with these people but it is overwhelming when you baby ain't here and you have bills still showing up for him and the whole delivery. We have paid about 7,000 out and got a few thousand more to go. But I know that the Lord is providing cause it would be alot more if people were not understanding at all.. Their has been some very generous people out there.


Okay I have spelt me guts enough tonight.. but thank God I able able to get it all out on here...
Love yall.. Be blessed and take care and will write again soon!!

NEXT SURGERY!! A little bit about it.. Saw it on TV.

NO LONGER AM I SETTLING FOR JUST A TOUCH.

ON SUNDAY...
I WENT TO CHURCH WITH GRANNY IN MURFREESBORO. SHE ATTENDS FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER. IT IS LIKE MY HOME CHURCH. THIS CHURCH FAMILY HAS SUPPORTED ME LONG BEFORE I REALLY WAS SERVING THE LORD. THEY HELPED POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

At church they had a visiting pastor wwll an evangelist. And it was one amazing service. It was not a sugar coated service. Which I don't perfer the sugar coating ones anymore. AFter studying the word and walking with the Lord I need a slap in the face with the word to keep me on track and held accountable. We all ain't all there yet and I will admit some days I ain't feelin it. But lets say it was an emotional service and NO LONGER AM I SETTLING FOR JUST A TOUCH.

I AM GOING TO GIVE A RUN THRU OF MY NOTES. TAKING NOTES IS A HABIT FOR ME NOW THANKS TO TEEN CHALLENGE. www.teenchallengeusa.com

1/18/2009 EVANGELIST JACOB JESTER www.jacobjester.org
This is is sermon in my words and with my notes. I hope that this encourages you and motivates you like it has me.

WITH GOD MARKS
"Sometimes God chooses to mark a ministry or someone."

There is a distinct difference between a touch and a mark of God.

Go Beyond experiencing and seeking!

We are not our own!
We have to have the PASSION, POWER, AND FIRE!

1. DEMANDS PROMISE OF THE MARK
Story of Abraham and Issac (this story has spoke to me in a whole new way since laying down Samuel. I encourage you to read the story in scripture and in a book called When I Lay My Issac Down by Carol Kent)
GENESIS 22:9-19
The Lord PROVIDED.
Fasting = denying the flesh= more room for the HOLY SPIRIT

2. DEMANDS PURSUIT
WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE OF PENIAL... A PLACE TO CRYOUT AND MOVE FORWARD. WE MUST CROSS THE LINE!
GENESIS 32:24

3. DEMANDS PETITION
PRAYER OF JABEZ
1ST CHRONICLES 4:9-10
ASK IN DESPARATION
RUN,FIGHT, AND SACRIFICE.

ACTS 4:13
OUR LIVES ARE NOT OUR OWN!!

PSALM 24
WE BELONG TO THE LORD!!

WELL, I kinda shared his sermon and my heart in this.. Just know Jesus loves us so much. We are not our own. We belong to him and we are here for HIS PURPOSE NOT OURS.

I pray that you each are have a blessed week.!!!!!!!

YOU have to SEE it to believe it!!

I recieved this is a email and wanted to share this with you! God Bless YOU! We must finish strong!! Go ahead click on it.. It only lasts about 3 minutes!!
http://www.maniacworld.com/are-you-going-to-finish-strong.html

WE GOT JUST A GLIMPSE!



We will be giving to many many families that are experiencing this daily. DAY IN AND DAY OUT! We must continue to pray for these babies, families, and the caretakers(nurses, doctors, etc.). It is a rollercoaster ride that I say now that God must have thought we were strong enough to hop on and hold on to HIM tight through it all.
May God Bless YOU ALL.
Please know that your support for us during the past few much has been greatly appreciated..
Much Love!!
