Jesus Take The Wheel

Lately, likely because the end of 2006 is near (48 days if anyone is counting), I have been reflecting on the past year. In all honesty, this has been the hardest year of my life. It was the most painful, the most difficult and the most trying. By far. Yet even with all of that, it was the easiest year of my life. For the last year, I realized finally who has been there through it all. The one who has never turned their back on me and the one who has loved me unconditionally all this time. The one who has not judged me in any way and the one who has held my hand no matter what the trial. Jesus. Sweet Jesus. If He had not been holding me up the past year I do not think I would be sitting here on this night, typing this very post. I do not know where I would be, or even if I would still be alive at this very moment if it were not for His saving grace. And that is pure, straight forward, and honest to goodness truth for you. At this point what is in my head are the lyrics to Carrie Underwood's song, Jesus Take The Wheel.

I ask yet again, Jesus take the wheel.

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

I Need A Break Before I Break

Damn. There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year. Emotionally. I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college. Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon. There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times. I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance. But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well. With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more). I am trying to figure out what I want in life. What is important to me. What I need versus what I want. And how it all fits together with various parts of my life. I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
