When I was young we would hear stories on how hard times where for our parents. Things where so hard but guess what they made it the best that they could. They still had a roof over their heads and food but not be like what we ate but they did have food.
In these times we are not used to having a hard time. Things were much better for us as we grew up. Kids now would have a hard time in our youth. I will tell my stories of not having a phone and we only had 2 channels to watch no game systems no computers or anything like this. They will look at me like I am crazy then ask "so what did you do?" When I was 12 I would get up before school go milk the cow and goats feed the chickens,geese,rabbits.pigs and all the others. Then be at the bus stop which was at the end of our long driveway at 7am for our long drive to school. When school was over and we finally got home got to do it all over again. In the summer there was even more to do and you did not just call your friends and chat all day since we didn't have a phone we had no clue what happen to anyone until it was school time again.
Children in todays time all have cell phones several game systems computers and other electronic items. They also don't have to work for them either. So to me all it has done is make a lot of lazy children who think ok if I break it they will buy me a new one. When was the last time you had a 1 on 1 talk with your child no phone calls or fighting over the game? I do know tho that with all the gadgets we have now that some children will grow up and be someone great. with all the education that can be learned with computers, but on the other hand the same can be said for all the violet games that parents let their young children play it can get them in trouble later. There is a reason there is an age on these games. If it has mature on it ask yourself is your 6-7 year old mature? If not get ones that will help them grow.
If we all pull together like in the older times life can get good again. No one likes hard times but they are a fact of life. Think of it like this if we only had good times how will you every appreciate when you have bad times.
Well I guess I have said enough on this. When all else fails look in your bible for the answers they are there.

church today
I love going to Evangel Temple here in Fort Smith. Unlike a lot of churches I have been to this church treats everyone as family even if it is your first time. When we started going to ET it was about 4 years ago in that time we got married there re-dedicated our lifes to the Lord and it our home now.
We love the people there and our pastor who I will never know how he does so much without putting himself in the hospital. Let me explain some he does so much for the church and he also is in the fort smith office for ward 3. Also he goes out on police rides visits the sick and so much more. he really has the Lord on his side the rest of us just can't seem to make this much time and we don't have the energy to keep up.
Today was a great service it was about trusting the Lord with all. you know how you seem to stress over the things in life right? Well he pointed out that there is no need because when we go meet the Lord it won't matter. You will be saying I was worried about that?
He also told of a young boy who at a church camp was called in the ministry only to die before he left the camp. It was a accident that happen while playing basketball. He was wearing a T-shirt that said Dying to go it brought tears to the ER people and to this day they still talk about him. This boy even in his death is still saving people what about you?
I love my job that I have and you want to know why? I get to witness everyday to customers,workers of the stores we are in and also to my fellow workers. I my not be the best at reading everyday but I do spread what I can to whoever is around me. They tell me all the time they can tell I am a christen just by the way I act around people. Can people see you are a christen? If not my I suggest to find a church close by you that you can feel at home with and learn to change your out look on life. You take baby steps and one day people can see Jesus in you too.

I am back from my trip.
This has been a busy week for me. My job took me to Nevada and Carthage Missouri then back to Sallisaw Oklahoma. This was my first out of state and over night stay with this company. Lots of driving and once you are in the store time seems to fly. Was so glad to get home and see my husband tho.
We have been married now for only 3 1/2 years and he has never came out to meet me at the car before. It was so nice to have him come and give me a kiss and hug. You never know how much you miss someone until they are not there.
Got my paycheck and already spent most of it. Since I do the driving it is very important to have good tires and change the oil. So that is what I did yesterday got better tires and did an oil change also changed my wiper blades. Today I changed my spark plugs now that was fun. Never seen so much to move just to get to the plugs. Yes I do my own car up keep. I think if you own a car you need to be able to work on it too.

Finding your way
Sometimes it is hard to know where you stand. It has taken along time for me but now I have a good life. Not a lot of money just a great husband we are building a life together. Our life is not your normal life and you might be asking why. Very simple really when you mix races and throw in another country on top of that nothing is normal.
My husband is from Peru which is a very interesting place just by itself. He does speak english/spanish sometimes we have trouble but it is just that he might not know the word or term nothing major. The life he lived back in Peru is nothing like it is here. When he was there he worked for the airport in security here he works in scrap metal big change. There they still raise the kids to respect everyone and treat them as they wanted to be treated. That was something that takes getting used to. I had prayed to God to send me someone that would be there for me and not drink or smoke I had also asked if it was alright if you could also send me someone who loved to cook...LOL I got what I asked for.
Now we have our own home and just like everyone else just trying to make ends meet. I have been out of work since July finally got a new job on Jan. 10,2009 . I am now working for RGIS inventory. I knew that this year I would be traveling but had no idea why now I do. With this company we travel to stores sometimes 6 hours away. It is really good since we work 3 days and off 4 so it gives me plenty of time to also do what I love. Which is my photography.
