God Brings Only Good

Going through any kind of hardship tests your faith. Some people blame God, some people think God is responsible for bringing on hardships in our lives. Yet God doesn't bring anything bad on us. When we are going through hard times we must remember that we are humans, humans sin, humans are born, grow, and die. Life can be good and it can be hard but nothing bad ever comes from God. We must remember that because of sin comes death and since man's first sin consequences followed. Those consequences being death. So we must remember that God brings only good things to us and in trials he can help us through and make something beautiful out of something bad. For God only brings good.

James 1:13King James Version (KJV)

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Trying

Trying

Trying hard to hold it together trying not to lose my way.

Trying to be a help not a bother trying to make no mistakes.

Just want to be useful and not a burden to anyone.

Just want to succeed in something so that they can say hey yeah she’s the one to go to.

Instead of saying oh poor her she’s suffering an illness that’s eating away at her.

I’m still trying to be useful, not to be a burden to anyone.

No one seems to get it, I’m in a boat and there’s a leak and now my boats sunk.

Oh My Soul

A poem about life and death, wrote after someone I knew died.

Oh my soul you’re here and then you’re gone.

Rocking to and fro like the wind in a storm.

My soul what is that I see is it our destinies?

Like the wind we come and we go we live and we die oh my soul.

Be ready for tomorrow brings something new we’ve not seen.

Don’t dampen the fields of creativity; don’t let the evil one in not even for a peek.

For when you cross that threshold you face evils untold.

No one can know there time to leave this earth, so we live and we die.

But if we are very wise we will live through the forceful tides.

We will live a life that is served to our Lord and a glory that will be told.

For when that day shall come in you, prepare your heart you never know how soon.

A man was here then he was gone no traces left of that one.

Oh my soul what do I seek, maybe peace inside of me.

For this I will let God be my peace.

Life is Hard, But God is Strong

Life is extremely hard especially if you deal with any kind of disease. Well apparently there are people who think I'm fine, they think that the disease isn't real enough to bother them. Well that is just backward thinking. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know pain. I've already had a death bed experience, I've been diagnosed with a rare genetic blood disease that affects both body and mind. And now I have even other problem that I deal with. But when I'm feeling the most hurt, the most angry, the most outrage, that's when I know it's time to turn it over to God. Because God is stronger than all them combined and God can help me just with his spirit by being strong for me. When I am weak he is strong. God is all the help I need to get through this fight.  The point is I just give it to God and he helps calm me down. God is the reason for everything in my life, the reason I live, the reason I'm not completely insane. God's words are ever with me and I follow the ten commandants with all my heart. I don't need to be concerned with what this world thinks of me, I need to be concerned with what God thinks of me. After all his opinion is all that matters anyways. 

Funny video!

Couponing 101: It's Back!!!!

OK, So I guess it never went away, I just quit messing with it for awhile. But here today couponing is back!!!! And let me just say CVS Rocks!

This past week at CVS it was buy 2 Maybelline products get $5.00 extra bucks. And in the coupon inserts of past there was $2.00 off Maybelline face product. So I ended up getting a lot of the lip balm and only paying like $2.30 a piece ($2.29, but I round up…) So then I even got a brow pencil set and concealer and still only paid $2.99 for one and $2.19 for the other. So then with the extra buck back it really just ends up paying for itself. Of course I had went earlier so I had a lot of different extra bucks, so I did like several different transactions where by using my coupons and the extra bucks I ended up either paying nothing at all or like 19 cents, 78 cents, $1.24, etc. 

I also got the colgate toothpaste deal where you buy four and get $6.00 extra bucks. I also had four $1.00 off coupons so it ended up being $8.00 for four but then I got $6.00 back. Win, win!! These are going to a church in Alaska that my grandfather help start. I send them packages sometimes with stuff that I get while couponing. They have to pay so much more money for stuff in Alaska and I feel like I'm apart of my grandfather's ministry by helping them out sending them stuff in the mail. 

I've also done the nivea deal where you buy $10.00 worth of nivea and get $3.00 extra bucks back. I've gotten 2 body washes and 2 lotions. All together without coupons that equaled up to about $21.00 so then with coupons I only paid $16.50 and then got back 2 $3.00 extra bucks. So in the end it was like paying $10.50 for all four items.

I also went to Wal-Mart and got some of the Ivory body washes and Ivory 3 pack soaps they are 99 cents at my Wal-Mart and I had some 50 cent off coupons so I ended up paying like 49 cents for them each.

There was also some Noxzema razors for 19 cents. They were $2.19 and I used a $2.00 off coupon, paid 19 cents each.

The Venus razors at Wal-Mart are $6.98 and if you buy 3 you can use 2 $3.00 off coupons and 1 buy 2 get one free coupon ending up paying $8.00 for three packs of razors.

Nutella is also a good deal with buy one get one free of the single to go pack and then $1.50 off any other size, I bought a size that was about $3 and something and then with the coupon it ended up being a little less than half of that.

I also got the nivea smaller size (the smallest size my coupon would allow!) for like $2.96 at Wal-Mart and then use $1.50 off coupon, now that's dirt cheap!!!

Also at Wal-greens you can get wisk detergent for $2.19, it's on sale for $3.19 then use $1.00 off coupon. 

I don't remember if it was Wal-greens or CVS but there was the Arizona drinks for 2 for $1.00 at I believe Wal-greens. At CVS it was buy one lipton tea drink get one free and get $2.00 extra buck back. This was last weeks deal, not this weeks. Then at CVS there was also the Sundown vitamins buy one get one free and I used $1.00 off coupons as well so I ended up paying like $3.50ish for 2 vitamins. I'm sending them to Alaska as well. I will actually be sending some of the different things to them. I try to get as much as I can for myself and my mother and then send stuff to Alaska as well. 


There's all kinds of great deals you can get with coupons, coupons can be found in the Sunday papers and if your real adventurous you can go to your local recoiling center and dig through the newspaper bin to find coupon inserts. 

My favorite couponing website are the Krazy Coupon Lady and I like to go to CVS web site and look at their weekly ad, also do the same thing for the Wal-greens website. The Krazy Coupon Lady website can be found at the right hand of this blog main page on down under favorite coupon links.
