A Super-Woman's Diary

Okay, so of course Mother's day was yesterday. I happen to be a firm believer that Mother's day should be every day, and I am grateful that the world acknowledges it as the most important day aside from the birth of Jesus Christ...and the 4th of July. I can remember the very first day I told my Mother I loved her. It was on my 5th birthday. See I heard people say I love you before and I always thought they were saying it because they were feeling something that I was too young to know about. So when my Mother would say "I love you", I would always say..."Me Too" Like that was the normal thing for a child my age to say. Well on this particular day it was my birthday and I wasn't having a a birthday party or anything, I was simply hanging out with my Mom. We went to what was at the time my favorite place to go...Venture! How many remember that store? There was something about that place and as a kid, you think your rich when you go into a big department st...

Today is Mother's Day and I have not called my Mother. I can't. I am so nervous and affraid to call her. I know God has not given me the spirit of fear, and that it is from the devil this feeling that I feel right now. So, while I am praying for the strength and courage to call her, I need the Lords help right now. I haven't spoken to my Mother in about 4 months and I haven't seen her in about three. She has not spoken to me since December of 2007 due to some things I will not go into right now. Just know that they hurt me to the core. So due to the hurt I can not call her on one of the most special days of her life. I wish you could feel the stinging in my heart, then maybe you could understand how I feel. I had to write this out so I could get it off my chest. I am so indifferent right now. Help me Lord. I miss her so much... "Dear Heavenly Father, I come in your son Jesus Christ name this morning with a grieving heart. Lord I thank you for all that you have done...

...then one of my friends called and of course we were talking about absolutley nothing, when she asked me the proverbial "deserted island" question. Now normally when people ask this question it is to get into your head in order to figure you out. Now since we know one another pretty well, there was no need for a figure of any sort...that is until she had to answer the question. Let me just tell you which three ridiculous things she said she would bring. "1. My cell phone, 2. My laptop and 3. My wardrobe..." (Dee Dee rubbing the temples of her head in confusion) First of all, I said, aren't you stranded on this hypothetical island, so why do you need a cell phone and laptop? And if you did have said items, where would you plug them in at? And if you were lucky enough to have a cell phone that didn't get shorted out from the water due to the obvious plane crash or titanic shipwreck which brought you to this deserted island in the first place, then why don...

When I saw this photo, instantly I was moved beyond measure. I love Jesus so much!

Okay so I applied for this position that will require I move from Chicago to Las Vegas, Nevada and I have to say that I am contemplating the idea a whole lot. I mean I have lived in Chicago my whole life (minus my stint in Minneapolis) and I have to say that Nevada is looking pretty darn good. I have been to Las Vegas twice and I had fun both times, however I never dreamed of moving there. I am not one for the gambling scene but I have to admit the place is guite impressionable. It was like "Bright Lights Big City" when I stepped off that plane for the first time, and the city looks amazing at night...still I have my doubts. I was watching 'Bruce Almighty' last night (hee-larry-ous movie by the way) and while I was watching it Jonah popped in my head. I began to think of how Jonah was told by God to go into the Land of Nineveh and Preach the Gospel to the people and how Jonah was affraid to go. Now I'm not saying that God told me to go to Nevada but this story sti...
