OH HOW MUCH I LOVE COFFEE SHOPS!!!!  JUST SITTING AT THE ARTISAN DRINKING A GREEN TEA SMOOTHEE, AND THINKING ABOUT LIFE.

  CONTEMPLATING MY NEXT MOVE FOR MY LIFE!!

 I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO FLORIDA TO LIVE WITH MY UNCLE AND AUNT. I HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS NOW, ACTUALLY EVER SINCE I CAME BACK FROM FLORIDA. MY UNCLE IS GIVING ME A PLACE TO LIVE RENT FREE,BASICALLY AS HIS DAUGHTER, SO I CAN WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL. ONE OF MY DREAMS SINCE CHILDHOOD HAS BEEN TO GO TO COLLEGE IN FLORIDA, AND NOW IT COULD COME TRUE. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE NOW, BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY CLARITY ON IT YET.

IF I MOVE I WILL BE LEAVING BEHIND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT I HAVE HERE IN MISSOURI. ALSO I WILL HAVE TO FIND A ROOMMATE TO TAKE OVER MY PART OF THE LEASE FOR OUR DUPLEX. IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF COMING AT A GOOD POINT, BECAUSE MY JOB AT THE JEWELRY STORE IS KIND OF DWINDLING, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE HOW LONG OUR STORE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN BUSINESS.

 PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. PRAY THAT IF THIS IS THE LORD'S WILL,THAT I WILL SEEK HIM AND KNOW WHAT IT IS I'M TO DO. IF IT ISN'T WHAT I'M TO DO PLEASE PRAY THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO FIND A JOB THAT I KNOW I'M SUPPOSSED TO BE AT. PRAY THAT THROUGH ALL OF THIS THE LORD'S WILL WILL BE DONE.

FOR ALL OF YOU  THAT KNEW, MY COUSIN HAS BEEN  IN A COMA BECAUSE OF A HORRIBLE  MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT FOR THE PAST YEAR  AND A HALF. ABOUT THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AGO HE WAS TAKEN OFF OF ALL OF HIS MEDICATION AND TUBES.

HE HUNG ON FOR THOSE THREE AND A HALF WEEKS THANKS TO A SMALL DOSE  OF SUCROSE INJECTED DAILY.

I GOT THE CALL FROM MY DAD TODAY THAT HE HAD FINALLY PASSED ON. AFTER ALL THAT PAIN AND SUFFERING HE HAS FINALLY GONE ON TO BE WITH OUR SAVIOR.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY AS THEY DEAL WITH THIS LOSS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS INEVITABLE, IT IS STILL HARD. PRAY FOR MY DAD AS HE TRAVELS TO NORTH CAROLINA TO BE WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
