Blah

I've been in such a blah mood lately. I don't really have much to talk about but, again, I need your help.

Speaking of help, I got lots of good suggestions on authors whether through facebook, text, or comments so thank you!

This time though, it's about us personally. Justin has been struggling with his job. He doesn't enjoy the people or environment he is working with. So he did what any other normal person would do, applied for a new job. Now this job that he applied for is at a company he has been wanting to work at for some time now and he would be working with my parents...which he would LOVE! He applied for the job on Thursday and on Friday he got follow-up questions, which according to my mom, is good. So now that the questions have been answered, we just have to wait. I guess what we need is some prayer. I don't know if anyone knows what it's like to live with someone who isn't happy with his job where he spends the majority of his day--and even though Justin tries really hard to mask his emotion (and does a decent job) when he is home--I hate that he's not happy. So I am asking for prayer that this job finding process goes well and is a success and for me to be patient with him and his frustrations.

On another note...I have a new pet peeve.
--When someone says that they are going to do something or that they did something...why do we doubt those people?? We act like no one is honest anymore. It's so frustrating and makes me not want to talk about my life and what I plan on doing or have done. It's frustrating to watch people sit and talk about other people that way. And even though I am not innocent and have done this before, I got really mad at myself when I realized exactly how much I was doing it so I am trying really hard to stop and I am asking my friends to hold me accountable for that.

Gotta go!
Thanks for reading!

Blank

My mind is blank.
I don't have anything deep to talk about or anything that will send anyone into debate mode so all I can really think about is the books I've read lately.
Books are a weakness of mine, I can't stop reading.
I have read Nicholas Sparks for the past three weeks and need to stop because I hate crying.
I have read many Jodi Picoult books--she's good, but I need a new style.
I have read everything Stephenie Meyer has written (I know it's only five books, but I've read four of those twice...:))
So now...I need something that won't make me cry, something that won't jump between 10 different characters with a law suit at the end, and nothing about Vampires and Werewolves...(team Edward by the way. Anyone who thinks they are team Jacob have only seen the movies and are just in love with Taylor Lautner--I guess that statement could cause someone to go into debate mode if they are hardcore--don't try though, I'm not hardcore enough to argue about it :))
So, I need your help!
I think that I fixed the comment problem...I don't know though.
I need suggestions. Author or title suggestions, it doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance!

Motivation and frustration.

I'm not motivated, and I'm VERY frustrated, hence, the title.
I hate this time of year because it makes me very unmotivated. I don't understand myself, I want a good job, but I'm not motivated to do what it takes to get there?? At the beginning of each school semester, I am so excited and tell myself that I am going to make really good grades, and until Thanksgiving or Spring break, I do make good grades. After that, it's all down hill from there. I think that Thanksgiving and Spring breaks should only be Thursday-Sunday...not a whole week. I know a lot of College students are going to think I'm crazy for saying that, but those breaks are the reason for my "unmotivation". Gr. So now I am frustrated with myself because I can't get myself to sit down and spend enough time on homework and studying.

On a happier note, I took Jack in for his first vet visit today! He weighs a whopping 1.5 lbs. He was a hit at the office, everyone loved him! He was a good boy when he got his shots, but he was given dewormer, so I am scared there may be a little brown mess in the bathroom when I get home, and Justin isn't home to clean it up :( boo. His little heart is normal and his little joints work like they are supposed to! My vet told me he is very fragile, it took all I could to not tell her, "Well he is the most suicidal dog I have ever owned, he jumps off the bed and couch, and has jumped right out of peoples arms before right onto the concrete." But I refrained for the fear that she might report me to the animal control people because of puppy abuse. Hehe.

I miss not seeing my family and friends everyday. Especially when Justin is gone for work. I'm so lonely. Good thing I have Jack, I don't know what I would do without him, he definitely keeps me on my toes. I am such a baby because I have friends whose husbands are off to basic training and Iraq/Afghanistan and what not, and I'm complaining because Justin is gone for 3 days...boo hoo Megan! Ha...anyways I'm rambling now so I won't bore you any longer. :)

Thanks for reading!

I am SO boring!

When I am driving around in my car, I think about some really random stuff. Lately, I've been thinking, "what if my life was a reality show?" not that reality shows show reality, but if they held true to there name... Anyway, I'm pretty sure that my reality show would be SO boring! I come to work, hang out with the same people, generally stick to the same schedule: Monday: come home and sit around and watch TV, Tuesday: come home, watch TV, do homework, Wednesday: come home, finish homework, watch TV, Thursday: come home, watch Grey's with Angela, Friday: date night, Saturday: work, hang out with Justin's family or my family, Sunday: church, lunch with Justin's family, home, homework, watch Justin bowl. Where is the fun in all of that---I love my family and friends and always have a good time, but the same schedule day in and day out?? Goodness, how do I even have friends?! Why am I so scared to do something out of the ordinary??
I am really frustrated with myself because I won't step out of my comfort zone! Ever since Justin and I started dating, he's always said he wants to move to California---why am I so scared to do so?? I come up with excuses like; cost of living is too high, crime rates are high, blah, blah, blah. Why don't we go out of town for a weekend?? Because Megan is BORING!!
So--I need to stop being so freaking boring! But I don't know how...
I feel like I am going to be lost forever in this frustration, so I've decided that Justin and I are going to do something not boring and out of the ordinary---I don't know when and I don't know what...but we are.

I am open to suggestions. :)

Thanks!

Life is fragile, handle with prayer.

I got the idea for the title of this blog off of a plate hanging on my mother-in-law's wall at her house. I thought it was so cool!!
I love Easter because the church services are always so full! Prime time to help people come to Christ!
Pastor Wes George at FBC Rogers rocks my face off with his sermons, God really gave him a great gift! Today we read 1 Peter 1...of course because it talks all about the resurrection of Christ! I get so emotional because of the story, it's so humbling! My goal for this year is to help more people come to Christ. I have so many people in my life who don't know him which makes me so sad because no one ever knows when they are going to go. About three years ago I lost my grandpa. I loved him SOOOO much! He was always a joy to be around and you were always guarenteed a laugh, but the day he died was not as sad as I always thought it would be. Now don't get me wrong, I was sad and to this day you will catch me crying randomly just thinking about the joy and fun that I felt and had when he was around. However, 2 days before he died, he accepted Christ! What a joy!! I can live knowing that he is celebrating with Christ in Heaven which makes me so, unbelievably happy!
So, grandpa did it, I know the rest of my family and friends can too! It makes me so excited to see people coming to Christ! My favorite part of church, besides the worship, is when people get baptised (especially young children and senior adults). Everytime I see someone go into the baptistry at church, you can look at me and guarenteed, there will be a big, fat grin slapped on my face because that person is going to have a great journey whether it's 50 years or 2 days. I remember my grandpa being so sick and exhausted that he couldn't even eat; the day he accepted Christ, he ate and laughed and talked and was the fun, joyous person I knew my whole life!
My point is, even the most lifeless people can glow the brightest glow when they know their Lord and Savior!
I don't have my Bible in front of me now, and I don't know it as well as I should, but I encourage all of you to open one up to 1 Peter 1 (it's very short) and read about the miracle of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ--because "He who knew no sin, became sin" so that you can have ETERNAL life in Heaven!
Hope everyone had a great Easter and a great weekend!

Spring :)

So I don't have anything to rant about right now, but I'm totally in a good mood (Even though I'm freaking tired!) I love Spring because that means it's that much closer to Summer! Also, it gets me in the mood to clean! As much as I hate cleaning, I love what it all looks like when I'm done. I have a problem, though with keeping everything clean once it is finally to that point! So frustrating. So, you bloggers are going to have hold me accountable for making sure I am keeping my apartment clean. :) Tough job. So when I get home from work today, I will clean until it is spotless (or until I fall asleep in the middle of it all because I am SO tired!) The sun and blue skies keep me in high spirits, I love being in a good mood, and I'm pretty sure that the people around me prefer me to be that way too with me having the "red hair gene" and all.
So I hope everyone else will have a great day and a very HAPPY EASTER!
Let's all remember that Easter is the day that we remember the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

My first blog :)

Sooo my friend convinced me to do this (thanks, Angela :)).
I'm not 100% sure this will be the most interesting thing in the world to read but yesterday I was sitting trying to think about what I could talk about on my blog, if I made one. So here I am. I was intrigued when I read Angela's blog because it can turn into to something really interesting and I doubt mine would be as interesting as hers but she has always been way better at stuff like this than I have. Kuddos to Angela!
Our stories are very similar, the major difference between mine and her stories is that they take a turn in different parts of our lives.
My story begins 10 years ago when my mom dragged me away from my "friends" to this crazy place that I thought would be fields and cows and nothing more. Boy, was I wrong! 10 years ago, I was outgoing, outspoken, and didn't care what others thought of me or what I was wearing. My whole world was turned upside down the day I entered middle school in a town that I thought was going to contain no people. I went from being class clown and not having a care in the world to being the butt of all jokes and not saying a word for the fear that someone was going to make me feel like an idiot. I don't want sympathy from anyone...I was a weird kid, but I was happy when people liked me being weird. People here are MEAN! So outspoken, fun Megan turned into quiet, boring Megan...someone that I didn't want to be. In 9th grade, I found God, the best thing that has ever happened to me! God showed me that the people that I was around probably weren't the best influence on me. So I found Angela...and judging by our stories and the fact that people used to say "you guys are EXACTLY the same" led me to believe that we were meant to be friends. Even though I found my best friend...I still wasn't the person I wanted to be, or that God wanted me to be, but he showed me people who helped me and are helping me become that person.
All through school, I was at the mercy of my friends and co-workers, I always heard things like "Megan, do this with your hair", "Megan, wear more color", "Megan, don't say that or do this". Trust me, it was probably better that I was at the mercy of those people or I would be a colorless person with my hair up all the time...BORING! Anyways, now that I am 21 and married, I don't want to be at the mercy of anyone except for God...and I feel like I am getting there. My relationship with Him is always growing and will be growing until the day that I am with Him in Heaven. But, I want to be happy with myself while I go on my journey, so I am going to convert to 10 year old Megan who is outspoken and fun, with limits, of course.
So, that's what my blog will be about, I will be opinionated and outspoken, and through God's word, I will test the thoughts and opinions of others.
Now, sometimes, I probably won't talk about my opinions and thoughts, maybe I will release frustration or try to convey my happiness through my blogs, non-the-less, comments are welcome and encouraged. :)
So, in a couple of weeks, I will either be thanking Angela or telling her it was a bad idea to get a blog, either way, I guess it's something new.
