I admit that I always loved and still do pretty and nice things. I still do but I don't get in debt to have things. Tag sales are a great way to buy. I knew every designer.......wore the designer clothes and shoes.....I did buy most on sale...still I knew the men's designers and had to have a man that wore Italian shoes.......and he needed to have a great car. When I rededicated my life to Jesus in 2001 I looked for the man who loved Jesus Christ. Today I am still single and that is fine with me. A few nights ago I went with a friend of mine that I used to date. Yes he is a Christian and a very great man. I went to see the home he purchased at a great price. He was diving a different vehicle. We visited on the way to see his home and when I got out of the vehicle for me to look around I noticed that he was in a Mercedes.........I told him I did not realize he was driving a Mercedes. I enjoyed our conversation so much. So I laughed and said LET ME TAKE THIS IN.....Praise JESUS.........there was a time I would not have even gotten into a wrecked or messed up vehicle........I always felt that the person had their priorities different than I wanted to live .........I thought I was really something.........but I am nothing without Jesus Christ...........I am proud of me.......I am not the way I used to be. When we are saved we become different. He even said he would trade his vehicle for mine. My sweet blessed Corolla. I am happy I said no....there would have been a time I would have said yes on the spot.........now mind you, his vehicle is an older model but its still a Mercedes.
It was funny to watch my son crawl on the floor while I am dragging my leg away from him as he begged me to take the Mercedes. I am mature and know what life is really about! I am so glad I am me now. Thank you JESUS that you showed me the material things don't matter........I took myself away from material things and I have my eyes to what is right .........my eyes are set on you JESUS.........this is what life is really all about.....JESUS CHRIST. I pray if you do not know him you will find him.....for instructions see Romans 10:9-13.......Jesus is waiting for you to call on him......he will never leave you.

UNFORGIVENESS
Hurts and wounds in our hearts.........we have all had them. BUT....there is freedom, joy, and blessings when we forgive who has hurt us. There is pain involved......but in order for us to have blessings and forgiveness from GOD we have to forgive. True forgiveness is: I release you from the courtroom of my mind and I am making a promise that I will release this to GOD and you will have to take this up with GOD.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
Release the person from debt.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
I know when I have had trouble forgiving people, I have asked GOD to forgive me and I tell him that I want to forgive this person but I am having trouble right now and I ask JESUS to please let me see this person through his eyes......I keep praying and trying my best to look at them through God's eyes......and I do finally forgive........and I feel so much better.........the person who has hurt me is not suffering like I am........they have probably forgotten exactly what they said or did to me or maybe they never even knew I was hurt.
SOME doctors believe that back pain is due to unforgiveness.......my goodness........and to me this does make sense. When we have anger in our bodies we are in turmoil, and that has to be hard on our bodies. We will have pain........Victoria B.
What if God only forgave us on how we forgive others? Do not hold grudges.~~Nancy DeMoss
Impact on the daily life of a unforgiving person. Lines on the face, unforgiveness shows in our faces. Hardness and anger. Chronic depression is the result of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is something we pass on to our children. To be free emotionally....forgive the person who has hurt you. PURCHASE CHOOSING FORGIVENESS by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Visit her website at:

When old wounds are opened again......continue to walk in forgiveness. If you are being abused....then you should call the police.....do not stay in harms way...Victoria B.
Forgiveness is not a feeling.~~Nancy DeMoss.
We ask JESUS to forgive us.....and he will and we will be free. It may take time but keep praying for the hurt to go away and it will. Jesus knows our hearts. He knows if we want to forgive and he will help us and bless us.
When we can't forgive ourselves......we are really saving GOD can't forgive me or I am bigger than GOD.....but GOD says receive my forgiveness by faith and believe you are forgiven.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Beauty Tips
If you have to wear a lip liner......we are not supposed to but I can't part with my lip liner......buy the color liner of the inside of your lips..........it does work and looks better. I placed this tip in March I believe but I want to make sure ladies don't forget this tip.
Arching your eyebrows will give you a mini facelift......be realy careful when working with your eyebrows. My brow on the left is sparse? So I am taking sea kelp which is an iodine. Check with your doctor first.
Watch your eyeliner.....it will age you. A thick liner will crackle on your lid and really looks bad. I use one of my eye shadows in a dark/gold green to line my lids..........do not make a space between your lash and lid.........keep your liner next to your eyelashes.

Fashion News
You can wear white in the winter and of course you can wear black in the summer. It used to be that after Labor Day the rule was NO white...until Spring. If people look at you odd then they are not keeping up with the fashion updates.
You can mix black with brown or navy.
You can mix black with black whatever the tones.
You can wear mixed patterns of design when you can match according to color tones.
You can wear metallics in the daytime.
You can look great in faux jewels. They are making beautiful costume jewelry these days.
Try and find the jewelry on sale because they are really pricey now. Check out garage sales.
You can wear heels at night time with embellished top and jeans!
These are things to get rid of........they say it makes us look frumpy. Hmmmmmm.
Holiday sweaters with bells and appliques. No bees, hummmm, no teddy bears or reindeers or pumpkins........goodbye Quacker Factory.
Necklaces that tell how many grandchildren you have. Souvenir T-shirts, T-shirts with funny sayings. Overalls, acid washed jeans, ripped jeans, shoulder pads, flannel shirts, muumuus, photo handbags (the older we get, the more sophisticated accessories should be), fleshed colored hose...boo hoo..........I love nude hose. Penny loafers.......I have a pair I love.........oversize blazers, mommy robes.......boo hoo I love mine and I am not parting with it.........thin gold chain necklaces, elastic-waist pants......boo hoo............granny undies.........how dare them..........baggy sweats. Bear like full length fur coats, short shorts, cargo pants, stockings with reinforced toes, backpacks and three piece suits with vests.
This lady is a fashion guru and she is really correct........these things do make a woman look frumpy.........but if we are comfortable with it.........it is our business.

Slow down on your grilling
Grilling too much can be very bad for you. Using the Charcoal and Dr. Nancy Synderman said that it can cause the big C word........eating meat that is chared......is so very bad and she said to limit to every once in awhile. So I hope all will take warning.

Days Long Ago~~Fan Language
The Victorian Fan Language
If a lady held her fan to her lips, it begged for a kiss.
Dropping the fan meant friendship only.
Drawing the fan across the face meant an apology.
The fan placed near the heart signaled YOU HAVE WON MY LOVE!
Hide eye's behind an open fan~~I Love You~~.
Opening and closing the fan several times meant You are Cruel.
Fanning slowly meant I am married.
Fanning quickly meant I am engaged.
Twirling the fain in the left hand meant You are being watched!
I like this idea for today..........I know its long gone......but what fun they had communicating without saying a word...........which sometimes is better anyway.

My Mother's Day
It is the evening of Mother's Day. The best mother's day I have ever had. My son gave me a beautiful mini birdbath. He picked it out on his own and paid for it with his money. He made the surprise so beautiful for me. What a kind act from my son. I love you Christopher. I am glad you are my son.
My weekend was wonderful, Friday I left with Pam, my cousin and we went to Little Rock and saw a concert of her children Jill and David and they are gospel singers. David writes the whole song and music. They love Jesus so very much and give JESUS all the Praise and Glory.
So this mother's day was the greatest for me. I am so blessed.

Happy Anniversary to ME!
It was 5 years ago today around 12:43 that I had my brain injury. This 5 year mark is my life anniversary. I should have died. Thank you Heavenly Father in Jesus name that I lived. You have a purpose for me.........or I would have died. What a love gift to me that Jesus wanted me to live. Over 83 people died that year with brain injuries in Arkansas and over 539 had brain injuries. If I am wrong with these figures I will correct this..........someone at the department of health gave me the figures for 2003. I still have the dull headaches each day but I can cope with them..........Praise the Lord. More to come on this day.
I love my dad and his wife sandy........they came all the way from Dallas to see about me after I was out of ICU...........I talked to those doctors after my head injury and they said the whole weekend was touch and go...........on my life.....I was out for 3-4 minutes with no breathing or heartbeat.....my company did not have oxygen. I bet they do now and they did fix the step I fell on a few weeks after my injury......a woman six weeks prior hurt herself on that same step. Amazing life does not mean much to employers seems like....it took my injury before they paid to have the step fixed.........maybe it cost them $50.......I never did sue this company. I was going to but Jesus put a burden on my heart not to sue.......and I did what he said to do..........do not sue.......and I am getting better care than had I sued...........JESUS has never left me.......he has carried me the whole time.........I am glad that I can take care of myself even though I have very hard days...........I know I can bare it or Jesus would stop it........he never gives us more than we can handle...........I always knew I was a very strong woman but now I know I am more than I ever thought I could be..........LORD, you get the glory....thank you for letting me tell hundreds and hundreds of people about my story........You have gotten all the glory...........I was and am so important to you Lord just like everyone is important to you.
