It's a great way to offer some encouraging words to the troops and chaplains and let them know you are thinking/praying for them. To the 1.5 people that read this blog...pass it along! :)

When you...

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
And when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
The flames will not set you ablaze.

This is when you know you suck.

So my mom offered to buy me a subscription to Equally Yoked or E-harmony for Christmas.

Yep. Not really sure how I feel about that.

"Soulmate"

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why
I'm on my ownIf there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Awkward Situation

I've decided (and I'm sure there are others that had this epiphany way before me) that riding in an elevator has got to be the most socially awkward situation to be in. Think about it. You are in an elevator for no more than 30 seconds and yet I find people (myself included) feeling obligated to spark some type of short, meaningless conversation. No one really cares what I'm saying and honestly I don't care either! I would prefer silence, but then there's the awkward silence factor. To talk or not to talk, that is the question. I even find myself walking slower at work when there is someone in front of me heading towards elevator to avoid this predicament.

Here's your official unofficial guide to pointless elevator conversation starters:

• weather
• your being lazy for not taking the stairs
• how you're doing today (everyone genuinely cares, trust me)
• what day of the week it is
• how much you can't wait for Friday
• what floor you work
• introduce yourself (just in case you meet again)
• the lunch menu in the cafeteria
• comment on how strong someone's perfume is
• your job title and who you work for
• Oh and don't forget the "sincere" chuckle at theirs and your attempt to be funny for this short ride

Yep, this all sounds pretty silly I'm sure.  But...you're welcome.

Solution? Take the stairs.

Have you ever noticed that if one area of our life is going bad, automatically "my life sucks."

Why is it easier to focus on the one bad thing instead of all the amazing things that we are blessed with?

But lately, it seems that there is alot more than one thing going bad in this girl's life. When do I get to complain? Or do I? When I sit back and take a look at my life, the little good things probably still outnumber the bad, but when the bad things are so big it makes it alot harder to shift the focus to the good.


Everyone waits for a knock on the door
Waiting for someone,
who knows what it's for
Cause we spend a lot of money
Feeling bad and looking fine
I'll try to sum it up in a few simple lines

Oh darling,
life is what you pray for
But love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me

Everyone says that it's covered in pain
Waiting for someone who will take on the blame
Oh it takes a lot of courage
To know you're not alone
The sooner you stand up, the sooner you'll know

Oh baby, life is what you pray for
But love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me

When I hear you crying at night
Like the world is on your shoulders
I'll hold you tight
Cause I know a secret or two
And the least I can do is share it with you

Share it with you
Share it baby

Oh, life is what you pray for
Love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me
Life is what you pray for

You didn't hear that from meLove is what you stay for
You didn't hear that from meLife is what you pray for
You didn't hear that from me
