Fitting song

I'm sitting here listening to my Spotify playlist and this song just screams out about how my life was before Christ.
Does it sound like what your going through, or your past?



Last night got a little crazy
I dont remember, woke up spun with the pasties 
My friends say I was tweaked out, 
Passed out on a dirty couch, still in the house
It kind a scares me, I dont know
Am out of control, always waking up still in my clothes
I wrote a note that said goodbye to pain, good bye to shame
But couldnt find a way, I just cry for days
Im so depressed, soak in wet, I cant rest
These thoughts just beat me to death Im un-kept 
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But its been so long I cant remember the words


Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, Im right here, with you

Every time you run


I keep sleeping in dont want to wake up
I keep hearing from the landlord pay up
Hide my face in my pillow till the sunsets
Hung over and I havent seen a pay check 
I took a job downtown at the factory
I was hired and fired with no salary 
I keep running from responsibility 
Its seems impossible, the pressure is hitting me
I know I need to man up, or sit down
Stand up and get out of this crowd
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But its been so long I cant remember the words


Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, Im right here, with you


Well I know Im not ready to die, But Ive
Sure thought about the meaning of life
Cause I cant seem to find a purpose for me
Its just the choices and I fail to proceed
I got a get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
I hear voices in my mind, ones a devil, ones Jesus
I can feel it can you help me find the pieces
Like an angel on my shoulder, you hold the
Joy of the lord raising up a soldier 
You gave me the song my mom used to sing in church
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words


Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, Im right here, with you

Well it's official!

I am going to be a Close To My Heart consultant! I've been sitting on the idea for months now. I absolutely love love love their items. Every single one of them! And when I went to a CTMH party last week and found out that they were giving the Art Philosophy cartridge away for free this month to new sign up consultants, well.. I was sold, especially since I had just told my CTMH girl that it was going to be my next purchase!

So, in the next few days I will be building the CTMH products into the site, if anyone is wanting to purchase anything, just contact me! :)

One month later

I am just not feeling it, too much webpage designing, too much photo editing, too much ache and pain dealing with this fibro. It's all just taken a toll on me.


I broke down and started an HCG diet. Granted it's the cheapest bottle that I could find at wallyworld. But amazingly it has actually killed my appetite. Yeah, boggled my mind also. I have not had the courage to step on a scale yet though. It's only been 2 days and my pants speak in volumes. They are saying to stay away from the scale and go directly to the treadmill.


I've had these websites bouncing around in my head though and I just had to get them out. Heck I need $$ and the only way to do that is to sell some of my work! Right? Le sigh. Such a catch 22. Well.. I bid adieu. And another motivational picture!

February 25th

The weekend of February 25th was what had to have been one of the worst weekends, leading up to one of the worst nights that I have had in ages. My fibro had flared horribly, my depression kicked in with a passion previously unknown, my children we're being coerced to do things that were against our family values. 


Living in Arizona always means a bit more stress to day to day living, between the drug smuggling and the high crime and very real possibility of being killed or kidnapped. It's not an exaggeration out here. The risk of those things happening are higher than normal, hence always being hyper sensitive to whats going on around us. I akin it to living in a war state. Eventually things are going to get to you.


I felt as if all hope was gone in my life, everything had been a failure. From my childhood, raising my children, moving my kids to one of the most unsafe places to live, failed marriages.. everything up to the very moment where I felt that there was nothing left to life anymore. 


Suddenly I remembered a message our Pastor told us to recite when things seem their darkest. Call on the name of the Lord.
"In the name of Jesus..."


I cried out "In the name of Jesus, leave me be!" I had such a sudden feeling of strength and I was able to finally stop crying. It was as if I felt His hand on my shoulder raising me out of the bed I had been lying in for 3 days. A friend of the family came by the next morning, he said that he had to come check on me. The night before he had such a strong feeling come over him to pray for me, he said it was overwhelming. He felt drawn to pray Psalm 25 for me...
 This really hit me... 
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. 
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. 
18 Look upon my affliction and my [l]trouble, And forgive all my sins. 
19 Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. 
20 Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. 
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. 
22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.



It was then that I knew that He was watching over me. It was that moment that I knew that the afflictions happening to me were supernatural. He loves me and wants me to live. My fibro has not flared much since the weekend of Feb 25. I feel so much better, knowing that He is watching over me.

Such good news

Tomorrow I will share a story about an event this weekend that really saved me... but til then I just had to post this song. I was listening to Spotify and this song just jumped out at me! Audio Adrenaline "Walk On Water" Simon Peter won't you put those nets down follow me I'll lead you out of this town to a place where no boat has ever been I will make you a fisher of men Jesus walked out on the water said take courage it is me Peter trusted and he wanted to go farther so he stepped out on the sea If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water Just like peter I want to go farther tread on the sea and walk on the water step where he steps and go where he goes side by side when the sea billows roll I'll be alright when the wind comes I'll be alright when the waves come crashing I'm not afraid for this is my father's world
