Waiting For The Dawn To Appear

Sickening in my stomach rise, the pain spread far and wide.

Gnawing down deep inside, aching like you can not explain

Pain surpassing your every human frame.

Head exploding in sharp notes of terror, you feel like sheer horror.

Screams come to mind, but if you speak you know no one will understand.

You sit alone in your own sweat, blood, and tears.

You sit alone waiting for the dawn to appear.

Thinking how could someone so young be so sick?

And yet, how could they carry on with hope inside of them?

Just waiting, with hope and life, waiting through the painful hours of the night.

Waiting for the dawn to appear, I spend my life waiting for the dawn to appear.

Better Ways To Get Coupons

Some people "dumpster dive" to get coupons. I won't climb into a dumpster, but I will go to my local recycling center and dig through the piles of newspaper and get coupons that way.Here's what I got when I went to it my first time.

It wasn't fun, and I came home very sore and tired. But I did get a lot of coupons that way! So better than "dumpster diving" is going to your local recycling center and digging through the newspapers for coupons. I only recommend doing it once a week at the most. It can take awhile and take a lot out of you. So be prepared! And bring something to carry the coupons in!

Some Of My Deals!

Some of the deals I scored using coupons. We now have enough laundry detergent, cereal, lotions, shower gels, and pain patches to last for a longtime now!

OK, So Couponing Does Pay Off!

OK, So today I had to go grocery shopping, and even though I have been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by all the couponing, I looked through the coupons I had and used what I could and I ended up saving about $100!! So yeah it does pay off, if you have PATIENCE!! And can figure out how to do a list with your coupons and store sales to where you won't have to pay much! It is so overwhelming though and I've only been doing it less than a month and am already feeling frustrated. But I did do good and saved $100 today! I even got register rewards at walgreens and got a surprise $5.00 gift card at target. Did you know that right now if you buy any 2 Physician's Formula items you will get a $5.00 gift card free? And I had coupons to buy one mineral wear powder and get one free so I got 2 mineral wear powders, then I got a mood blush and I had $1.00 off coupon on the blush and on the mineral wear powder, then got one powder free, plus the $5.00 back gift card!!! Whooooo Hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! All because I got birthday money and wanted some Physician's Formula makeup!!!!!!!! Oh and Target finally had some Nivea body wash in and I was able to get three of them all $2.00 off each!!!! And they had some other good sales as always. It can be frustrating trying to figure it all out, but I guess it does pay off in the end.

Blown Away

It's hard for me to hear about the tornado's lately and all the destruction it has caused. Especially in Joplin, MO which isn't far from me, that really scares me the most. I have grown up in areas where tornado's were common my whole life. And they would come and go, but I have never seen anything like this where they have just started tearing up towns. It seems in the past couple of years that the weathers have started to turn and that things are getting worse. Could this be a sign of the times? It says in the Bible that weather will change and things will become worse and that's when you know the coming of the Lord is soon. Now, I'm not one of those people that will tell you oh God is coming on this day, THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS!! The bible says NO MAN knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return, so when I hear about people saying oh the Lord will come back on this day, I want to start laughing because that is not what the bible says. But it does say to be aware of the time. So could we be close? Well we are closer than ever before. But our definition of closeness and God's is two different things. We are aware of time going by, the bible says one day to God is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. So yes we are close to the coming of the Lord, but when I do not know, perhaps this year, or maybe next, or maybe 10 years from now. The point is not to try and sit down and pin point the exact day, because the bible says that's not possible, because NO MAN knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return. Only the Father knows. All we can do is to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord. Whether he comes back today, next week, in 3 years we will never know until it actually happens. But we do need to prepare our hearts, accept Christ as your saviour, believe he died on the cross and rose from the grave on the third day and believe he is God. Just prepare yourself is all you can do. As for the destruction of tornadoes and bad weather, what will be will be. So do not worry, tornadoes come and go, hopefully they go more than they come. But as long as we are ready to meet God we will be good. I don't like tornadoes, I do get scared, but I know I have to trust in God and everything will work out. Whether God spares us from it or we all get blown away, no matter what happens, I must trust in God. And I will be just fine. No devil from hell can take away my peace unless I let him. So to all those that are suffering loss and destruction tonight, I pray for you. I pray you will find peace as well, and that your hearts are ready for God, and that your gains out way your losses. God have mercy on us all and God bless the USA!

Peace to all tonight, for those that have gone, may they be in Heaven's open door, for those that are left behind, may they find the peace to carry on through the storm. And for the tornadoes still awaiting us, may they not come or at least not cause any more destruction. And let the God of peace heal our broken hearts as we get through this time of destruction.
