Psalm 28 Verse 1
ON LY YOU, LORD, ARE A MIGHTY ROCK!
Next time you open up with prayer, why don't you try doing this: Thank You, Jesus! See where it leads you...
Have you ever felt out of place or like you've lost yourself. And you have no idea where in the world to begin to even search? I did and at times I still do. I think it has to do with the whole baby news getting physically excited and then emotionally disappointed. My husband (Carlos) and I really had high hopes this time... I mean I wanted this pregnancy so bad. Everyone kept telling us its OK it just wasn't the right time yet. When it is it will be the most happiest time of your life. SHUT UP!!!!!!!! That's all I got to say.. I mean you can't really say that unless it has happen to you.. So just Shut up!... Sorry guys I just had to get that off of my chest...

A Prayer of Praise
Psalm 27:1-3
You, Lord, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears. Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will fall. Armies may surround me but I won't be afraid; War may break out, but I WILL TRUST YOU.
Ok so yesterday I watched Pastor R.A. Vernon from the Word Church (here in Cleveland/Akron Area Ohio) and he said something that made the most absolute sense to me. "Fasting will NOT draw you closer to God!" In fact, his example was this: When you want to draw closer to someone what do you do? Do you stop eating or stop watching or listening to the media to draw closer? Or do you talk to them and spend time with them to get to know them? I totally AGREE with his metaphor. Now let me be clear by stating he NEVER said you should not fast. Pastor Vernon simply said fast for the right reasons. You see a lot of people fast because they feel that they can draw closer with the Lord... which is true in some aspects but its only for a couple of days and a lot them go back to the drinking, and partying. You see the cycle? God wants you to fast yes, but not for the wrong reasons... He is omnicient and omnipresent... He sees all and knows all.. so when you stop eating for a couple of days after 2years of messing your life up... God doesn't change you after because he already knows you are going to go right back to the mess of a life you had created yourself...Once again I NEVER said not to fast... but Please do it all for the right reasons... So my question is what's yours?

Homemaker
Well Goodmorning (early morning) to everyone who is reading this from the comforts of your homes and to those who are on the go at this hour (3:35a).. "And with this Word, God created all things. Nothing was made without the Word. Everything that was created received its life from him, and his life gave light to everyone. The light keeps shinign in the dark, and the darkness has NEVER put it out. JOHN 1:3-5...Amen to that. So anywho I can not SLEEP... I'm so tired but I am up washing 3 loads of clothes... I hate having only one little washer and dryer..inside of the apartment building..wish is was inside of our apartment but anywho... I have been really trying to get myself out of this little funk of a mood... I haven't been wanting to do anything because I have been so tired...On Monday (1/24/2011) I go to the Doctors with my husband, Carlos... to find out if we will be having a baby or not... We are really excitited.. me a little more than him right now, but thats ok. So Please keep us in your prayers over this glorious weekend. I hope everyone's week went well and you were filled with lots of blessings brought my the man upstairs! It is really hard trying to look for a new place to live! Since I am the one who is home most of the time...
I have been put in charge to find most of the information on a new city to which we are going to be moving to in July. (Akron, OH) We are excitied about the move... if gives a chance at a fresh start and more bang for our buck! (haha I watched waaaaaay to much HGTV) I can't decide on where to live just quite yet, I love the 3BR 1BA townhomes that are out there.. but I just found a 3BR 1BA house VERY nice, for under 550.00 a month.. its a steal I know but I'm very skeptical about it. So you guys should let me know what you all think... well if anyone is out there reading this! I'm going to try and take nap now, until the clothes are done drying. Until next time this is the Virginia Gal saying Goodnight & Good Morning to all of you! God Bless and Be safe... :o)

The Intro.
It is wonderful to be grateful and to sing your praises, Lord Most High! It is wonderful each morning to tell about your love and at night to announce how faithful you are. I enjoy praising your name to the music of harps, because everything you do makes me happy, and I sing joyful songs. PSALM 92 :1-4
I believe it is a wonderful thing when you can start something out with a scripture. OK, Please bare with me. I had tried this once before and failed. I've grown since then and I would like to start my journey off to a good start this time! Hello, my name is T. Thompson. I was born and raised in Virginia and about three years ago I moved here to Cleveland, OH. I'm married to the most beautifully spirited man I have ever met. His name is Carlos. I guess you can say he is my High School sweetheart. We have been together for 7 years now and married for almost two. Each and everyday we embark on new challenges and success. I honestly have to say Thank You to the Man upstairs because he definitely knew what he was doing! OK.. so I guess you are wondering why I decided to start up another blog (remember the 1st one failed miserably). Well I wanted to be able to make a difference in the lives of others, regardless of gender or nationality.
Being only 23 I still have LOTS to LEARN! We are now on day 18 of the New Year and I haven't began to set out on the goals I have written down. Like increasing my income, becoming more healthier (who can do that when McDonalds is down the street!) and becoming a better Child of God! Before I became married I was really a care free person. Not to say I did not care about anyone or anything but I was free to make my own decisions and not have to worry about my actions so to speak. I grew up in a fairly large close knit family. ( I am the biggest Daddy's Girl ever) So when I moved up here to Ohio to be with my husband I felt so alone and abandonned at times. Don't get me wrong my husband's family is great and all but they weren't what I was use too. Not too many people could have dealt with a 5 year long distance relationship. I get that, but I would not have wanted it any other way. You really get to know the person in a long distance relationship. Carlos and I would talk for hours and hours. haha some nights we wouldn't even sleep! The Lord Almighty has really brought us through a mighty long way. Now we are working on a family. Currently we have a dog ( boxer/hound...Bound) he is such a spoilied baby but I love him dearly. Its just time to start having some children of our own now.
In the next couple of weeks I will be talking to you ( whom ever is listening to me ramble) about my goals and dreams. Like becoming a better Child of God. A better wife as well as a person. If you ever have any questions, comments, concerns or just want to say hello, please DO NOT hesitate! Until tomorrow this is the Virginia Gal saying goodnight!
