random thoughts

song of the moment.... solution by hillsong united

everything is jumbled up in my brain at the moment....and my journal is in my car. its cold so i'm not going out to get it.

my biggest pet peeve in the entire WORLD is when people are inconsiderate toward others i mean....makes my skin crawl....do not understand.....and yes, there is alot behind this sentence..

my second biggest pet peeve in the world is brown nosing and name dropping, which in my brain, are pretty connected. you can be great without making sure everyone knows. in time, they'll figure it out.

i'm ok with things in my life that other people are not ok with because i believe with all my heart that God has a plan and i trust Him more that those "other people".  

sometimes i wonder if i should have gone to grad school during my first few years in the "real world" b/c there is no way i could go now unless i quit work to go back. but then again, i don't need another degree to do what i want to do. 

i am perplexed (to the point of vomiting) as to why it is so easy for females to bond over gossip. why do girls talk about each other? we all have our quirks, habits, outfits & boyfriends that other people don't like. get over yourself. it is NOT ok to bash people just because the person next to you agrees with what you're saying. 

i think being a mom is the most important job in the entire world. i also think that one day, i will be a better mom from reading Heather's blog.

speaking of jobs, i have the best job ever! i absolutely LOVE it. i whole heartedly believe that this generation can change the world and i get to empower people to empower people to change lives (through chicken!). changing the world happens one person at a time, one moment at a time.

one of my favorite things is to get lost, i mean really lost in a song...and i remember the first time it happened on stage. its kinda like when you're driving and doing something else (like Facebooking on your Blackberry...KATIE) and you remember one point in your drive...then you go a few miles, make a few turns, end up at your destination, with out any recollection of how you actually got there. its like that only....instead of Facebook....its the Spirit of God. ha. can I get an Amen?

i am loyal to a fault but have gotten much better at that since high school. 

i am SO tired and will prob add a few more random things to this tomorrow....i need another brain dump session...

Wow...you go, girl! Your rants are right on. I'm in total agreement. No wonder we get along so well.

As for girls bonding over gossip, I fall into that trap far too much. So...this is me, publically asking you to call me out on it!

Love you, friend!
