There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.[The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to..
LET IT GO!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...
LET IT GO!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!
If someone has angered you...
LET IT GO!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...
LET IT GO!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...
LET IT GO!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents...
LET IT GO!!
If you have a bad attitude...
LET IT GO!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better..
LET IT GO!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him...
LET IT GO!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship...
LET IT GO!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...
LET IT GO!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed...
LET IT GO!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to...
LET IT GO!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new

Updates...
Well it has definitely been a LONG time!!! Lots is going on. I am 5 weeks from finishing my MBA!!! It has been a real struggle this last couple of months because I want to finish SO bad!!! I am still LOVIN' my job!! I have been doing it for 6 months now and am SO excited!! Life is GREAT!!! Hubby and I are getting along great and the boys, well, they are boys!!! :) We have put them in TKD and they seem to enjoy it. The weather has been HORRIBLY cold!! I am hoping that we are on the path of warmer weather!!! I am looking forward to Spring and getting to get outside! I am hoping the warm weather will help motivate me even more!!! I am trying hard to work in more workouts into my schedule. My eating habits are the biggest thing that I need to overcome and I am trying to take it only one meal at a time!
Once I finish school, I want to find a hobby. Something that I like to enjoy and something that allows me to get to me and find ME again and what it is that I like!!

Truly Happy!!! :)
I know that I should have always been happy because God has truly blessed me but I truly feel happy and slowly starting to feel like me again. After the rough two years that we have had, both financially and emotionally. God has blessed me with a great job that allows me to work from home and set up my own work schedule. My schedule is flexible to allow me to be home for lunch and able to participate in school functions with the boys.
Hubby and I are getting along much better. The boys are still driving me nuts, but I guess that is just part of it!! :)

Reunions....
Well it is time for my high school reunions. I say reunions because I went to 2 different high schools. I changed high schools the summer before my junior year. I was actually looking forward to it because I was so hopeful that I would have friends that didn't take me for advantage or expect me to be someone that I was not. Well that didn't happen. At my first high school I knew just about everyone there because I had went to elementary or middle school with most of them, but I didn't think of any of them as a REAL friend. Sure, I had people that I hung out with and did things with but no one that was a TRUE friend. Most of the times I got dumped for some boy friend.
When I started the new high school, I really thought that this would give me the opportunity to meet new people and meet people who didn't already have an opinion of me. I am not real sure why I ever fit in. Maybe it was because I always wanted to fit in! I was shy and very insecure growing up (still that way at times) and tried really hard to "make" people like me. And it never seemed to work.
So, I really have no desire to go to any of the reunions. I don't feel that acting like I was friends with all these people is something that I want to do. I had added a bunch of them as "friends" on facebook but after me being the only one keeping the relationship going, I decided to delete them. They aren't my friends and never were. Most of the time on facebook, these people want to be in your business and have no desire to maintain a relationship with you.
I have prayed and cried many nights as a child, teenager, and adult that I had a friend that I could confide in. My husband is my best friend and has always been there but it would be so awesome to have a girlfriend to confide in. I wear my heart on my sleeve and always have. I would do anything and give everything I had to someone that was a friend. I have done it several times and each time was taken advantage of. It always seems like they need me until I need them and then they are nowhere to be found.
Why are people that way??
Why do people only want to have something to do with you when it benefits them?
Why are people so judgmental and think that just because you might not do things the way they do or act like you do then that means that they are better than you?
Why do I allow people to walk all over me??
Why do I put myself into situations where I am the one that ends up getting hurt?
Why do I feel that in order for me to feel good about myself that I have to have people like me??
I am SLOWLY learning that life is what you make of it and that it is too short to worry about what others think about you. You have to do what you feel is right and makes you happy. I have a wonderful family and I love my boys with everything in me. I know that as long as they love me then that is all that matters!!!

Rules for Holy Living
Colossians 3
Rules for Holy Living
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I want to love me
Funny how I was never real emotional until I gained all this weight. Funny how I never had any problems with anger, anxiety, or depression until I gained all this weight!!! I don't want to be on medication because that doesn't do anything but make me gain MORE weight!!
I want to LOVE myself!! I want to LOVE my life!! I have so much to live for and be happy for. I have an amazing husband and wonderful children, but do I show them how happy they make me....NO!!! I am a real Beotch to them!! WHY?? Because I am not happy with ME!!! Is that a good reason....NO!!!!! I hate myself!! I hate the way I look!! I hate the way that I treat those that I love the most!!! BUT, I don't know how to control it!!! I don't know how to take the compliments when my husband tells me how beautiful I am. Or when my children tell me that I look like a princess!!! I KNOW that they believe it and feel that way BUT I DON"T!!!!!
I make my husband suffer because I don't like the way I look and I think that he should be just a disgusted about the way I look as I am. I don't think that he should WANT to touch me. I want to stay locked in my house where no one sees me because I feel as though they are looking at me.
