Its Only Werds...

way past cool...

i have alot to say just now, but isn't that how it works? i am BURIED in the last week of school -- trying to make a decent grade so i can switch schools and be accepted into the nursing program, which should be an historic event at this point -- but i digress. i promise as soon as i post my final draft of my 12-page research paper for ENG112 and take my third and final exam in anatomy / physiology that i will post. i've had some things, a few things, on my heart i felt to share. if i have missed a comment i apologize. this blog site is not like the one i came from where EVERYTHING you did is available to you to review and all comments to you are sent, a function i think the webmaster/blogsitemasterperson (Richard) has said he will do for us.....so if i missed something you said to me, i am sorry, it was not intentional. also -- i have every intention of driving you guys nuts with posts in the summer break from school, that is, if my second job allows me time :( so much for operating in freedom...so much to tell you all, but the bottom line is i want to share spiritual and encouraging messages and read all your wonderful writes. please, bear with me and count me as friend.

 just a quick question: sort of in essay form (do you expect less from "wordy me"? i struggle with sharing biblical study type writes with a mixed audience. i mean that it bothers me to put something up with authority unless it is just plain encouragement. but i believe God has put in my heart a series-lesson-type write and i am afraid to share it because i don't believe women should speak out where there are men. i felt that once before and called on one of my male friends in here to address something with authority because of it. any way, i want to share what i believe He has put in my  heart. perhaps as i write it, His words will flow through me and it will be a non-issue, but i thought i'd run that by y'all and see whatcha think.

p.s. JoeChemist, my college grad, got hired by Schering-Plough this week. Click here to see what they make and click here (oops, LOL) to see something that made me even more glad. Joe is a chemist for them now. i praise God for his journey, his marvelous attitude, his champion heart and his tender-hearted compassion. Joe has blessed my life since before he was born, as have all my babies.

love you friends, really and miss this place so much.

(especially to parents) again i borrow another author's werds:

...no more than  you can handle??? i dunno

A quote from a book by one of my favorite authors:

"It is something sensational to consider that there is, far and close, vague and defined, separate but intertwined, a God Who watches all and is not confused, but sets the sun to its course, frames the trees with symmetry and, with like precision, judges each man's heart as quickly as it beats. No poet, in the greatest of his imaginings, could conceive of anything greater than the real; this great plot pitting us against our deaths, this spinning sphere of color and smell giving flesh to the story God is slowly telling Himself; a story growing nearer and nearer to its dramatic conclusion. It does not escape me that I am blessed to be included in this tale of a billion human conflicts and Singular Resolution."

i'm exhausted. i have so much to share, but don't know where to start or stop ha ha! i'd wear y'all out, really. i miss you, my friends, even though i don't know if you consider me a friend. please, please understand i have been through some things in the past few days?

my son, myJoey, graduated Saturday, May 3, 2008 from Lee University with a bachelors degree in chemistry. yay! see him?

and being in another state with a laptop that WILL NOT DOWNLOAD a word processor, i got behind on homework. now i am on vacation, but scrambling to catch up homework, figure out financial dilemma and get help for a summer training class.

i did go to church in chattanooga, tn. on Sunday with two of my kiddos. yay again!

as it is 1:48 am, i will try to read and comment on a few posts, but know this -- i love you my friends and i thank God for you. i know i can come here and talk about things spiritual and even things family and you will receive me.

thank you for your prayers, i still need them as i struggle with 'issues'.

until that day -- loree

when i get back from lunch break, ESPECIALLY if i go home, i have the HARDEST time starting up again

went home at lunch and FINALLY passed quiz 3 for anatomy / physiology and did so-so on Pre-Exam. i get to take that unlimited times, though, so i will try again later. the nice thing about that, if you do it right and take advantage of it, is that you can see where you need to study and go back over the material. i have a sinking feeling that some of the (other) kids just go back and fix the answers according to the given correct answer...but then -- its my job to worry about my own work ethic and study habits.

so -- i just popped in to try and read a post or two before i try to find out why i can't balance the securities statement for my boss. and i have to post something alsotoo.

sorry if i seem a rude friend lately -- when something is on my heart, i like to "pop in" and post it up before the passin fades. i don't always make time to read, especially with this anatomy / physiology deadline bearing down on me, but i will catch up, i promise.

meanwhile, thanks for being here. i appreciate the friends i've made here and thank God for you all.

hugs, loree

P.S. IF ALL CAPS IS INTERNET "YELLING" THEN is itty bitty print "whispering"?

I didn't mean to do that itty bitty print, but i thought it looked like internet "whispering" and that kinda fit so i left it...sowwy if you need your on-screen magnifier!! lol

it seems a strange thing to me that i can help others, share scripture that is freeing, read, study and pray.... (More)

 

6:16 am, the day after Easter, she came into our lives. What a blessing! What a joy! I love you, myJessie, myAngel.
