In case you missed it

So for the 17 people that read my blog, most of you probably weren't around at the beginning (circa 2007).  So I figured I would highlight a few of my favorite posts that you may or may not find amusing.  Heh.

Just click on the titles below to take a gander...

 

Enjoy!

Oh, and meet TJ.  My cousin's baby and pretty much the sweetest thing I've come in contact with.  Ever.

Smile.

Whoa. Baby.

So...I'm on Twitter for anyone out there that cares or would like to follow me (@MegB35).

Rarely do I tweet celebrities/athletes because they don't usually right back, and frankly, I don't think I come up with witty enough things to merrit a respoonse.

HOWEVER, today was a GREAT day!  Why you ask?  Because Greg Jennings of the GREEN BAY PACKERS replied to my tweet!  Seriously, made.my.day.month.

See for yourself:

Waitin' on a dream...

The following is a little poem my mom used to jokingly say as I was growing up...

"Patience is a virtue,

possess it if you can.

Found rarely in a woman, 

and never in a man."

Ah patience.  Oh how I loathe thee.  Mostly because I have such a hard time practicing it.   I genuinely desire God's will for my life, however, I can't seem to get to that place where I'm confident in what that plan is.

A good friend of mine, Doug Clay, recently wrote a book called Dreaming in 3D.  I had the pleasure of hearing him speak in front of thousands of people while I was in Arizona for work last week.  One thing he said really hit me deep in my core.  He said:  "Too many dreams get aborted because of lack of patience."  Boom. 

Even though I don't know specifically what my dream is, I know that I'm destined to do something great.  Destined to impact people in a positive way.  Destined to be a leader and destined to be an example of Christ to others.   I pray that disappointments, silence and distractions will not keep me from achieving my dreams.  The dreams that my creator has instilled in me.

In the meantime, as I struggle with patience and with the lack of understanding as to why I'm currently in a place of waiting, I hold on to this: 

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7


Because let's face it, in this world of chaos and unknowing, He truly is the peace that passes all understanding.  


Hold on to your dreams my friends!  And that whole patience thing, I'll work on it if you will.  :)

Top seven reasons I would never wanna be the bachelorette

1. They say the camera adds 10 lbs. Enough said. 

2. When you turn anything into a competition for guys, they want to WIN. Even if they don't care about the prize,  it's about WINNING the competition. Insert insecurities now. Did I mention guys like to win?!!  (Well, i mean all guys except the Chicago Cubs). 

3.  I don't think ABC could find 25 guys to meet my height requirements. "This season on the first ever Giant Bachelorette..." 

4.  It's all bubbles and puppies till the cameras are off. Of course I'm gonna be super awesome the 5 minutes that  Prince Charming and I are together before we decide we are in love. But what about when real life hits and you find out that sometimes I don't wear makeup and that I actually prefer basketball shorts over booty shorts?! 

5.  My mom still thinks I don't kiss boys. I'd hate for her to find out on national television because of course I'd have to try every flavor... That's what the bachelorette does, right? Duh. 

6.  The idea of them dropping me off 50 ft away from my date just so I could dramatically run to him is just silly. I wouldn't do it. They'd probably end up firing me and going back to short girls who think frolicking is cute. 

7. My friends would make fun of me. 

So in the meantime... "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will grant you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

Yahoo!

The NFL Lockout is OVER!

This makes me so happy I could kiss someone (preferably Aaron Rodgers).  However, I'd be lying if a tiny part of me didn't love the idea that the my Packers would have won the very first and last Superbowls!  Heh. 

In honor of this exciting news, I thought sharing some music would be a great way to celebrate!  So without further ado, here's my "Holy Crap It's Hot" play list (Be warned, it's super awesome and super random):

Enjoy!
