A Little Chit-Chat...
Hello!
As you can see, I've made some great improvements...well, actually, not a ton, I just changed the URL (by making a new blog and adding all the entries from my old blog with the correct dates. :) and the background and the title...buuut, I think that is cause for celebration!
Weeeeee!!!
What with my new happy blogness, I'm feeling kind of proud of myself! 
But, that's that.
Anyway, I was in bed with stupid ouchy 'girl' cramps today...igh, not fun!!! But fortunately it didn't last as long as the last two; probably because of my happy new meds! Weee! But it got me thinking, you know, about having kids one day. It's a really exciting thought! I come up with names (Chelsea, Saurelise, Christine, and Josiah - in that order!!! lol), and ideas about what they might be like. 
I wonder if I'll be married with kid(s) in 5-6 years, or if it won't be untill 20 years from now. Sometimes I get this weird little thought roming around in my brain (what girl doesn't?): What if I never get married - or even if I do, what if I can't have kids?!? It scares me a bit, but I just have to deal with it. Besides, God's got it all under control! Yesss!!!! 
Funny, that's another topic I've been musing about a lot lately. My family and I feel like we need to downsize so that we are freed up to use our money/time to minister to people's needs etc. Problem is, the money part. We want to have an acre or two to have chickens, maybe goats or something too, a little space to do something with, but it's so expensive, even if there's just a dumpy little house on it!!! So I know God's in control, but it seems like all of a sudden all of us felt like this (where we are now) isn't right, and that we need to downsize and live much more simply, but there seems to be no provision for that - yet. So we pray about it, and we wait on God (...but it's really hard - Hurry up God!) and I feel like sooner or later (sooner?) something's going to happen. 
Crisis. We need crisis. We need crisis to bring us all together - for Christians to start acting more like what we're supposed to be. If something terrible happened (Earthquake? A few churches in North America were bombed or something?) it would really make us need to depend on one another, therefore, we would. I wouldn't like it if my friends in the Church were hurt, but it would make me think! It would make me help the families involved and reach out to them. Wouldn't it be great if we would all just do it anyway? Problem is, it just doesn't seem to work that way. Phooey. Anyway, I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
I suppose I should go. Actually, it doesn't really matter, I'd just go work on my book anyway. Ya, I'm writing a book. Maybe one day I'll publish it, that would be awesome! But I don't know, we'll see. :)
Anyway, thanks for tuning in, I appreciate it when people read my rants and actually respond. It makes my time spent here feel much more worthwhile. ;)
God Bless you,
Sheila

Great blog Sheila! I'll have to be sure to come and check it out often. I like your new name! I think it's great!
I know what you mean about crisis. It's so true.
Be sure too let us know if you get your book published! I'd sure like to read it.
