well it has been a while yes? yes. well i have been GREAT!! spring semester is almost over 3 more days of classes, then a week of finals so woop woop im excited! i am moving into my VERY FIRST apartment in less than 2 weeks so that is soo exciting! but hmm thats not really what this post is about.
what i really wanted to voice in this post is my happiness! with everything in life right now. god is great. i know that was just inserted in there all random like but i believe that everything that has been happening lately is because of him! he DOES answer prayers, maybe not in the way you or i want but oh he answers prayers. for instance, my prayers to him for patience! wow i have gained a lot of that lately. instead of getting all flustered lately i remembered i had prayed to him for patience and that what i WOULD have been getting all flustered about is just another opportunity for me to gain patience. :)
ok so that wasnt really what my title "have you ever" is about, but its still true! :) my title is refferring to the following...have you ever just wanted to chase after someone so bad but dont? like i wanted to chase after someone today, i wanted to call him back and be like wait a second and then well give him a nice little kiss, but that is besides the point. but i didnt. i ask myself why didnt i? could it have been my last chance? i sure hope not, i dont think it is, maybe i didnt because it wasnt right. boy i dont know. i just know that i wanted it to happen so bad that i stood there for a few minutes holding onto the door handle hoping for the strength to go after him, be all romantic and say wait! i wanted to give you something. but i didnt, i suppose that is ok. sheese i dont know. and i dont know why posting it on here will help me. i have learned from VERY recent experiences that the only person who can help me with any situation big or small is god. so yea. buuut! if you think you might want to give some input to this situation feel free.
all i know is that i have never been this patient and i am soo thrilled with the results, i can only hope they continue on in the same direction. :) oh gosh kids i hope this post wasnt just a bunch of random ramblings and that you all might actually have enjoyed it. lol so if you have any advice or any good bible verses you would like to share with me please feel free to do so!! :-D hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!!
:-D Michelle

So yea..
Y a know, my life is good, no my life is great. i have been through a lot since i last posted and since this website is to share thoughts and stories and stuff, well here i go!
ok #1 this is what is going on right at this moment, its almost 4 in the morning and im watching this movie called LAST KISS. its been out for a while but its mainly about relationships and not like the lovey dovey side of relationships. its about all the crappy things that happen in relationships. its like 4 couples:
**one couple is an old married couple where the wife is going crazy because she thinks her husband doesnt love her anymore,
**there is another married couple, younger with a child and all they do is fight, the wife is crazy mean and is drives her husband to want a divorce
**the third relationship is this guy and his ex, he is so still crazy in love with her and she has moved on. so its kind of about him needing to get over his ex.
**and the main one is zach braffs character and his serious girl friend who is 3 months pregnant. so zach braff meets this younger girl at a wedding right. well this girl is a slut and hits on him and he tells her he is married but she persists. now i cant be biased because it takes two to tango but anyways his curiosity and her sluttiness get the better of him and he ends up lying to his wife to go out with this slut right? well his wife finds out and he ends up just kissing this other girl cause he feels bad and goes back home thinking his wife doesnt know. WHOOPS!! she knows, he was caught and she yells at him, calling him every name in the book telling him to get out right and then he yells back at her saying f*you and all this stuff and he leaves!!! he leaves, he goes BACK to the slutty little brunette! oh gosh, this is what i was trying to get to with this whole story, WHY DOES HE GO BACK? why? honestly what tempts a person to cheat? i do not understand this concept of cheating i just dont. please if you have ever cheated on a person you love, tell me what made you want to do that? i cant even fathom the thought of it. ah anyways so on and so forth after that he wants her back and he will do anything to get her back right? thats another thing i dont get. how can someone cheat on someone they love then expect to be able to ever have their love or trust again? i dont know its all crazy like, but i love the movie because it has several great quotes that make a lot of great points. so here they are:
"every a**hole in the world says he loves someone, it means nothing. what you feel only matters to you, what you do to the people you say you love, thats what matters, its the only thing that counts." --------------> actions speak louder than words and this quote just brings it to life almost. i love this quote its so true.
"you think this woman is the last brunette that is ever going to tempt you?"------->hmm there will always be temptations but will i be able to find a man who will never give into them?
"you cant fail if you dont give up."----------->i need to focus on this quote right now.
anyways, i was going to write more i was, but i am so tired and the movie is almost over. gosh. i have a lot more to say, but i will write later! thanks for reading and keep the comments coming!

Patience vs Me
So hi guys! :) Thanks for reading my pathetic blog last time! lol I have new stuff for today...and your right it deals with patience and my lack of it. haha. so i love movies and you all know that but i dont tend to take advice from them...usually. however, a long while back i saw "Evan Almighty", not a great movie but it was cute! anyways there was this one part in the movie where Evan's wife was getting frustrated with her husbands antics and she just didnt know what to do and the next thing you know "God" - morgan freeman - is sitting next to her and he is talking to her and what he says to her, which i am about to share with you guys, really makes sense and i feel like i can apply it to how i am feeling right now in this moment. he says to her:
"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
Boy do i feel like god is giving me A LOT of opportunities to be patient lately. there have been so many things going on in my life right now that range from money to boys to school its just all requires soo much waiting. waiting to see if i get a loan, waiting to see if this guys likes me, waiting to see if i get in the summer classes i need, just waiting and being patient and its so hard cause im a fixer. to me all these things im waiting on are all little problems of their own and i want to fix them and until they are fixed i am a nervous, stressed out wreck on the inside. anyways all i know is that i believe in GOD and i believe that i have asked HIM enough times for patience and HE is finally giving me the opportunity to use it, so i am just going to have to be strong, very very strong and keep my chin up i suppose! right? i guess i need to stop wasting all of my strength on trying to fix these things that i know i CANT fix and use that strength for patience, right? hmm well i am going to leave my "avid" readers with the lyrics from one of my favorite songs...

All At Once
All at once,
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around the sun
Some say
There's gonna be the new hell
Some say
It's still too early to tell
Some say
It really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin' ourselves are we really
Strong enough
There's so many things that we got
Too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
Instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
Theres this heart all alone
What about is gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
Theres a world we've never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If your waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just cant go
What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
