That Crazy Pentecostal Girl

               I'm sorry its been a while since I've wrote, but the point of this blog is to share my life lessons and as of late its not that I haven't learned any life lessons, I have, its just the things that have happened that have taught me those life lessons are things I don't want to share. Personal things that have blown up in my face and resulted in shame, hurt and ultimately drama I don't want any part of. So this post is going to be a little different then usual. Usually I'm an open book and explain how I learned these life lessons, but this post I'm just going to share the lessons not how I came to this conclusion. One of the reasons for this is one of the life lessons I learned was being careful about who I share my testimony and life with. At the time it may seem like it will help an individual, but sometimes it doesn't. It hinders them. Also, you can't trust everyone with all the details of ...

I was going to title this blog  "What No One told me about Marriage" But that would be a lie. I was told many things... like how its the hardest part of the marriage having to learn how to live with someone, adjust to all their different ways of doing things, different family cultures, and more importantly how they spend MONEY! People always told me money, sex and religion are the three biggest argument starters.  Now, I don't know if Spencer and I are doing it wrong or if we are just freaking awesome at this marriage thing, but where he puts his tooth brush or how he cleans or doesn't clean is the least of my concern. We both love Jesus And lets be real...sex is definitely not an argument starter ... ever!  Money is our biggest argument starter, but thats just because there is never enough, not because we spend it carelessly. Both of us are pretty frugal.  So what have I learned... I learned that marriage may not be easy, but its not hard ...

I JUST GOT MARRIED!  My wedding was beautiful.  Everything I hoped for and more!  And married life has been great.  Better than great! I love my life.  I have an awesome job, A loving family,  And a great church family too!  Really I have nothing to complain about. So why the title of this blog?  Why do sometimes I wake up without a smile?  I'm going to be honest sometimes I wonder "What if" Lets be real...dreams don't always come true. Unfortunately we don't continually live in Disney World.  When I was kid I wanted to grow up and be a doctor and a missionary to Australia. I definitely won't ever be a doctor and the whole being a missionary is looking more and more unlikely as time goes on. I occasionally wonder what my life would be like if I had ... Finished college Waited to get married Stayed in my home town More money  Less fat Ect. Here is the thing God knows ever...

In 1985 My grandparents adopted this one month old baby named Kenny knowing he was born with a disabilty, but that didn't matter in fact I think that's why their heart was so heavy. Since then that baby has grown into a God fearing and full of life young man. This post is dedicated to him. For the next few paragrapghs I'm going to tell you all about my uncle,  Kenny Ray Kronenberger!  If you know Kenny the things I say in the post are going to make you laugh, make you cry or make you go "Huh that is so true", but most importantly I hope it shows you just how awesome of man he really is! Kenny was diagnosed with Leukodystrophy ,  which is a deterioration of the brain. I don't want to get into that though because that is not what makes Kenny so special. What makes him so special is that in spite of this disorder he is the most cheerfull, happy and go lucky guy I am blessed to know. Seriously ask him how he is doing on any given day ...

I work at a school as a teachers aide in an ESE english class. And for this 9 weeks we decided to have them read a book. The book we decided.... Pearcy Jackson and the Lightning Thief So that I would be able to help the kids I read the book prior to giving it to them. It's actually a very good book. I'm sure ya'll have seen the movie. Both are very similar. The book just elaborates more on what is going on in Pearcy Jackson's mind. For those who haven't seen the movie or read the book... Pearcy is the son of Posidon (god of the sea), a demi god. He finds this out when he is 13 so it comes as shock. But what got me is how many references I could take and compare to my father... No not my earthly father, but my heavenly father...Jesus! Through out the book he finds he has powers just like his dad. Just like we as Christians have the power to move montains, heal ect. At one point he is standing on beach overlooking an ocea...
