They made it......!!

Many times we see in the news a fire or a plane crash something so catastrophic we cannot believe that anyone could of made it out alive. An image of a burning home, sirens ambulance and police sounds may rush through our heads and then all is captured by the media and the event captured by the press and through the media in an instant a moment the world or town is focused on that one event. Who truly looks back and thinks about a fire that took place a year ago or talk about the tsunami's that took place a few years ago we're not there and our lives moves on forgetting the rebuilding of so many lives still goes on today. Yet a divorce shatters lives for so many generations it is like a small crack in a foundation of a home if not dealt with the home will have major issues. Like walking outside and snow is falling yet in an hour you are trapped in a blizzard your wind shield whippers going oh so fast lights on you can barely see and yet you keep on driving hoping that you will make it home. So many go to empty homes sitting and focusing on what they felt what they should have had and forgetting to see the good. So many sit just heart broken a dream shattered to pieces tossed to the side and into the fire as sparks fly out like a glass bottle braking and bursting by the heat of the flames. At times you see light and a smile on a face you're going to be alright. But frozen in time you are hearing the voices of the past haunt you down and capture your mind. You tell yourself one step forward and indeed two steps back. Don't forget the children your like a pioneer finding your way through the prairie's walking through the cold trying to pick up your feet but your body is oh so cold but you have to go on, they are counting on you and God only knows you have no idea how you will make it but you tell yourself God some how I know I can do this.You cry at night and in the toilet stall you just stand crying at times. You try to tell yourself it's going to be alright and you take a step and the earth trembles but this time no tsunami just a small earth quake you better watch your back. You go to college and dream a dream or two. Yet frozen at times like your feet stuck to the ice you stand, like a child learning to skate yet one day perhaps just perhaps you will glide. So to me when i hear those words They made it.... i now think of those who have lost a loved one, survived a tragedy or illness and to those children and people young and old they made it... they did it you just never saw how hard they had to try to make it through each day and still smile.

Missing in action.

When you hear those words "Missing in Action," it conjures up people lost in war and to me the thought of people at home wondering if their loved ones are still alive. In today's world, I would like you to think a bit outside the box. I see so many people who do not bother to take the time of day to put down their phone and just talk or listen to acquaint themselves with another person. Where has that time gone where a pie was given to a sick neighbor or someone just talk to you in a store? I have sat at many doctor's surgeries and stood in line at grocery stores and it is my conclusion that there is a new Missing in Action in today's world. MIA is all around us politeness falls to the ground and NO NO parents don't just blame your children, you are their example, the one that stands at a grocery line talking out schedules on your phone with your teen, or telling them hush be quiet as you gossip down the phone. At least years ago many who gossiped were pegging out their washing on a washing line. MIA is all around us. Missing in action not caring about another person too involved in their own self centered life to be polite to smile to see another person's expression. Missing in action is all around us and is spreading how sad a life we live in that we can only see ourselves and not realize that we are the ones who are missing in action, missing out in life, missing seeing life, missing out what life might have given you. Missing in action is all around us so what are you going to do about it!! Don't be missing in action when God calls you home because he won't wait for you to text or facebook. The question is how important are others to you!

! Missing in action in our time can be an option it is up to YOU!!!

Is the phone your carrying serving just I?

As I sit here not feeling the best I am reminded how fragile and short life truly is. I used to love writing on this blog until a person told me that I could be spending my time more wisely, I felt my only world where I felt I could do something I enjoyed destroyed. But how many times do we destroy people's worlds without a second thought. When my brother died a week after he died I was asked if I had gotten over his death....in those words I want to hit them. But truly sometimes people are plain thoughtless and do not realize that their words destroy people. I see people at doctor's surgery, through check out lines all so busy checking their Iphones too busy to be polite too busy to take the time to see a smile or catch a conversation that may better their lives. They call this technology I call it a step back in time. People caring enough to take a few moments to ask are you alright or to help someone across the road or to just pray. Have we as human beings forgot what it is like to be that, simply human or are we all just so self centered that our lives have to be focused on us? I have prayed for people I have not known stood hugging a person that was just so overwhelmed with life,yet I sit here with no regrets for that. I don't have an Iphone and yes I think it would be nice but if that Iphone makes me focus on I then it is nothing but a trick from hell to focus my whole life on missing out on reaching others. The I you would think in Iphone would bring us closer to information a way to reach out but it doesn't. To many it makes them more inward more about them. So think next time you reach for your Iphone. Could you be missing out on an opportunity or are you just serving I?

2014

When I look back at 2013 I sit and see that it sure ended up not as I expected. I kind of dreaded the year to be honest the dreaded 13. God sure had plans for me and so to be honest as the year ended I felt rather sad. I am glad I am going to college now wished I had gone years ago. This year I hope to learn french. I did it at school but hated it. This time I really want to learn it and use it to reach others. I am also going to try and get my stories published again. I sure hope God leads me to the right people. I think life is much better if you just say God here I am. So I encourage you

this year to ask God where He wants you to go and let Him guide your steps the year may not be what you had planned but when you look back perhaps it will make you see His bigger picture. Wishing you all a wonderful New Year. Please have a cup of tea with me today.
