Near Death Experience! LOL
Just Can't Sleep :)
It’s 12 AM and for some reason I just can’t sleep. My sis and her boyfriend just got home from a Christian concert/ festival. I really wish I could have gone. Joe and I were planning on going, but he had something military related he had to do.
I really miss him, even though I’m used to life without him (him not being physically around me). Yes, even though I’m used to it, doesn’t mean that it’s any easier or that I miss him any less.
Anyway, the concert had Joy Williams (one of my FAVES!!), Nicole C. Mullens, Michael W. Smith, Building 429, Chris Rice, Jars of Clay, and a BUNCH more! This was an all day thing. I’m happy for my sis and her BF, I guess I just wish I could have also been there and that Joe would have been with me too.
I’ve had a pretty good day, I’ve done a lot of reading. I was able to spend some time with Lola and with my Mom. We walk/ hike pretty much every day.
Anyway, I think I’ll try and get some sleep. Lol Have an awesome Sunday, everyone!!
Luv,
Heather
Hey guys!!
WOW! It's been quite a while since I have posted! Just wanted to write a little note to let you guys know that I'll be posting again very soon. :wink:
Luv,
Heather<3
Wow! It's been a while...
Wow! It's been a while sense I've written about my day! I've been so busy! (I'm SURE you all know what I mean! LOL) Last night me, my sis, my mom and my cousin went to a Michael Buble concert last night. It was AMAZING! Do any of you know about Michael Buble? He's kind of like a combo of Dean Martin, Frank Senatra and Bing Crosby. He's got an amazing voice! We had such a great time together!
. By the way, we have a pond and Lola has been sneaking down there! hehe She can swim like a fish! *grin* It's so cute!
My Day *grin*
she found a dead mouse and she was trying to carry it around and play with it. So, of course I tried snatching it from her, but she kept running and getting away from me! I was chasing her around the yard and I finally got a hold of her collar and pretty much had to drag her to her doggie cage. (It was time-out time because she knew she was supposed to come to me when I call her) Sooo... I went and got the dead mouse and threw it in the garbage. I made her wait in her cage for about 5 min and then I took her back out and gave her a chance to be good. WELL... LOL that little stinker went right for the mouse (or where she left it, ha thank goodness I got it and threw it away) She went nuts when she saw it wasn't there anymore and she started running around the yard looking for it and smelling around. Then all of a sudden, she took off running down our dirt road! (She knows she's not supposed to run off) AnYwAy..... I ran after and called her and finally got her to run back to me. I think she was frustrated because she kept running and tried jumping on me and barking... she was like running in circles LOL!! Anyway, I tried getting her back in her cage and I pretty much had to catch her again and "plop" her in her cage. My goodness! All this took place around 6 this morning! Awe... I love her though hehe She's just being a stinker today. 
Today Joe's going on an overnight trip (or I mean he's going out to the field with his class) and so I won't be able to talk to him tonight. 
I know, it's only one day, but I'm so used to talking to him every night on the phone. I'll miss him, even if it's only for a day. Sometimes it scares me to think of him being deployed and how it would be. It'd be tough to get used to it, that's for sure. I know that God would comfort me (us both) thoug h. 
There's a SNAKE in my CAR!!
A New Puppy :)
Hey guys! It's been a little while. Well, I've been really busy with quite a few things. First of all, my dog died a couple of weeks ago. He was such a sweetie. We all miss him! But, the other day my mom and sis and I went to the Animal Shelter and saw the sweetest little golden retriever puppy! So, we decided to take her home! *grin* We named her Lola! (I just love that name) She's a little wiggleworm (LOL) I tell ya, she is SO smart. At only her 3rd day here, she knows how to sit and shake! It's amazing! Here's a pic of her:
I can't wait till she's old enough to run and roam outside. We have tons of land and I know she'll have so much fun! *grin*
God Bless! I hope you all have an awesome day!

Steven Curtis Chapman Concert - what an AWESOME Nite!!
Just another day...
Today's been good... :)
I've been so busy lately! But I like staying busy. Don't you? Oh, have you all heard of Casting Crowns? Well I'm going to see them in CONCERT next week!!! *grin* I'm so excited especially because I get to go with a really good friend. It's going to be so much fun! I think Steven Curtis Chapman is also going to be there, I dunno though.
I got a question... What do you all think about the movie, "The Phantom of the Opera?" I'd like to hear your thoughts. I went to see it at the theatre and it's coming on DVD very soon. I loved the story and the music ( I have the soundtrack ) BUT I felt kind of uncomfortable with a few of the themes you know? As a Christian, I felt a little uncomfortable with the "seduction" in a couple of the scenes. You know what I mean? Again, please feel free to share your thoughts.
You see, I have certain convictions when it comes to the media (music, tv, movies)... Personally, I'm against opening up my mind to certain things that are on tv and in certain movies (esp. R rated). You know what they say, "Garbage in garbage out"...
God Bless! Until I write again...

Angels walk the earth
Angels walk the earth
A young university student was home for the summer. She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God" to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help his young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. Then the police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question.Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered,
"Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

Worried About my Military Man
hmmmm... Hey guys, I kinda have a lot on my mind. I've just been thinking about how crazy this world is and how things are getting worse and all. You see, the man that I love is in the Military (he's making a career out of it..he's in the National Guard) and more than ever, I am terrified that he will be deployed and taken from me. I know that I have to trust in God, but for some reason, this fear is bothering me more than ever. Sometimes I feel like, "Goodness, so many people have loved ones who have to be deployed to fight in the war....they have to go through this...why would I NOT have to go through it?"
I love him and I know that he feels like this is where the Lord wants him and if it's where God wants him, that's where I want him to be. He always tells me that more than anything he "wants to be a family man, a father and a husband"...but sometimes I feel that those dreams might not be possible with the way military lifestyle is in the world today. I am so afraid that he and I will marry and he will have to be deployed soon after our marriage...and then if we get married and everything seems ok..no deployment so far... I worry about starting a family for fear that he might be deployed and I will be pregnant alone and that I will have the baby alone and then I think, "What if something happens to him and i have to raise the child as a single parent??" I'm really struggeling with this right now.
I love him and I want to be with him and support him in all that he does. I want to stick by him always! It's just that these fears are almost making me want to "not get too attached" :( I know that I should trust God and know that we are all fireproof until He is finished with us and that when He IS finished with us, then it would be meant to be. I'm just having a tough time and my fear is getting in the way.
Please keep this in prayer ya'll! I would really appreciate it! If you are going through the same situation, I'd love to hear from ya!
Trusting In Him,
Heather<3

Just wondering*smile*
God Bless!
Heather
Just chillin'
Well, I'm just sitting here, not too much going on. Have you ever felt like you are pretty hungry but you don't feel like eating? It's so weird! It's past the time that I
usually eat supper and I'm somewhat hungry but I don't feel like eating. I'm not nervous or uneasy or stressed or anything. That's pretty odd, huh.
Oh well, I hope you all have had a good day! Today's been good for me :) I got a lot done! (It always feels good when you've gotten a lot accomplished) I've been busy cleaning
and also searching for next semester's textbooks on Amazon and Ebay and I've been posting a few of my own textbooks for sale. It's so rediculous the way colleges
charge soooo much for the required textbooks! I tell ya, there was one book I purchaced that was over $100 regular price and I got it for $7 :) Don't ya just luuuuuve
saving money LOL My mom has gotten me into some good habits concerning saving money. Growing up, I remember my mom always using coupons and
getting things on sale (not just on sale, but on CLEARANCE!! hehe) So, anyway, I'm so thankful Mom got me into some good habits.
Whew I sure am being random today LOL
Dear Lord,
I thank You for this wonderful day! Thank you for helping me to get a lot accomplished. Thank you for giving me the energy to get so many things done. Lord, I pray
that I will have many more days like this! Lord, I thank you for my friends, family and loved ones. You have really blessed me with some wonderful people. I pray that
they will all know how much they mean to me. I pray for all the members of He Holds My Hand. I am so thankful for them, Lord!! I just pray that you will bless them and
watch over them. Let them know how much they are appreciated! Many have posted prayer requests. I can't mention them all on here, but You know what they are.
Father, thank You so much for being here for us and for always reaching out to us whether we forget to ask or not. You always have Your arms wide open and
you are always there for us. Thank You for being such a wonderful Father, Comforter, Savior, Friend, etc!!
Lord, I pray that you will bless all those who visit this website and that You will speak to their hearts. I pray for all those who are lost, those who do not know You.
Please touch their hearts. I pray that they will see Your amazing LOVE and that they will see how much they need You.
Lord, without You, we are nothing. With you, we can do ALL things!! :) This is so amazing. You never cease to amaze me, Lord!
Please forgive my sins and help me to turn away from them. You know my heart, You know me better than I know myself.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
*yawn*
*yawn* LOL I was going to write a little something but now I'm sooooo sleepy and I can barely keep my eyes open! hehee Oh well, I'll just have to post a little something tomorrow :P
Hope you all have an awesome day!

My life (today)
Hey guys! Thanks so much for keeping me in your prayers. It really means the world. *grin* I've been so busy lately with classes and exams and Christmas time... it's all been crazy but good :)
You know, sometimes life gets so tough, but all we have to do is give it all to the Lord and He will take it into His hands. All we have to do is trust Him and yes, life might still be tough, but He will give us a peace and we will know that no matter what, all will be ok. Jesus is Lord and the battle is already won. What is the worst that could happen?
Anyway, today we went to church and then came home... I made myself a veggie burger (LOL... yes, they are acctually very good if ya fix them right! hehe) It's that Boca Burger brand :) Have you all tried them? I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm trying to watch my diet. I have diabetes, so I've got to do my best to eat healthy. Sometimes my diabetes becomes such a pain and sometimes my insulin pump messes up and I get so frustrated. I know that hopefully one day there will be a cure, but if not, it'll be ok *wink* All I can do, is do the best I can to live a healthy life and live for God.
I've changed my website a LOT today! I have so much fun working on it. Let me tell ya, I was taking a "Intro to the Internet" course online and we had to create a website from scratch. So, I used the website I already have ( www.Shine4Him.tk ) and I just made a few changes and made it a little better *smile* ... it was so awesome to be able to share my faith with the other classmates, even though I never even met them in person.
Sooo.... I guess I'll go and finish cleaning my room :P (ahhhhhh!!!) hehe naw, it's really not that bad at all *grin*
Hope you all have a merry Christmas!! Jesus is the ONLY reason for the season *wink*

PRO-CHOICE EXCUSES AND THE BIBLE'S ANSWERS
PRO-CHOICE EXCUSES AND THE BIBLE'S ANSWERS

- Proverbs 31:8-9. Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, defend those who cannot defend themselves, and plead the cause of those in need.
- Isaiah 5:20. Woe to those who call evil good, or good evil; and those who put darkness for light, or light for darkness.

EXCUSE-- IT'S NOT A BABY; IT'S JUST TISSUE:
BIBLE'S GUIDELINES:
- Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7: Mankind is created by God in His image, even carrying His eternal breath of life.

EXCUSE-- THE PREGNANCY RESULTED FROM RAPE OR INCEST:

- Acts 5:29: We must obey God's laws, rather than man's laws.

- Jude 3: Contend (fight) for the faith, that has been entrusted to the saints (members of Christ's Church).
