Where do I get such great friends....................
My truly despert friend is now TEAM CHAD. Talk about high school drama brought on by a poor excuse of a friend. If God meant for us to never be alone and we have people in our lives that come in the form of girlfriends. Why do these two face friends care so much about Chad.
So he's all your ladies

Happy Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving and so it is appropriate to write about something that I am thankful for. So, here I go.
On monday nite I found in Luke 9:18-20. He asked them, "Who do you say that I am"? Peter answered by saying, "The Christ (Messiah) of God". Peter knew this to be true about Jesus because of the many experiences he had with Jesus.
In the same way, my experiences with Christ recently have backed up entirely who I say Christ is. This fall has been a very challenging one for me on a lot of levels and it has caused me to draw closer to Him because of it. So, with that being said, who do I say that Christ is and what am I thankful for is very similar.
I say and I know for sure that Christ is
MY PROVIDER
MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
MY PROTECTOR
MY ANXIETY RELIEVER
Scripture backs up all these characteristics of Christ. But, there is a difference between knowing the Truth and really experiencing the Truth. I have experienced the TRUTH of Christ after falling to my knees in the stuggles I have been through in the past 10 months.
Because Christ is all these things and so much more, I am extremely thankful today.
THANK YOU JESUS!

God talks to me
Proverbs 4:23 (New International Version)
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
God knows his plans for me. Did I know to guard my heart.....NO. But I do know through the sadness and hurt of getting divorced I was not meant to break. Even with all the walls falling down around me and my two young kids I swear with all I have that there is good in all this. I still stand to battle it out with Chad Clifton. He insist that I am an unfit mother and is now fighting to take the kids from me. But with one court date behind us he has been granted every other weekend. And he's been made to find a job. I not holding my breathe.
GO TEAM KELLY

Today's Yahoo News. I read this today and wondered if some writer behind a desk tring to collect a paycheck has really figured out why people cheat. Let's just read it
So, are cheaters born cheaters, or do certain situations cause people to cheat? Probably a little bit of both. Here are some situations that make people cheat:
1. Bored I'd say this is the most common reason that people cheat.It's tough to keep that edge throughout a relationship. Things start off grand and then level off and then you both realize that it's still real life. When you meet someone else, that inaugural excitement of a new relationship kicks back in.
2. Dependence At first glance, cheating seems like independent behavior. It could be interpreted as doing what you want, when you want. But I would argue that cheating is a dependent behavior. A cheater is dependent because they are not strong enough to break up with their significant other in order to get with the new person.
3. Confusion Sometimes life or a particular situation can get to you. When the perfect storm of confusion is going on in your head, you make mistakes.
4. Because They Let You If any girl ever cheated on me, I'd break up with her immediately. Forgiving a cheater is putting up with it, and starts a vicious cycle. That person who cheated may lose respect for you and might continue to cheat-because they know they can get away with it, because you'll continue to take them back.
5. Nurturing If someone is mistreating you, then your first instinct is to get away from him or her. But sometimes it's not that simple-maybe you are raising kids together. If you feel trapped in a bad relationship, it's only natural that you will run to the open arms of a person who treats you well.
6. Revenge This is quite simple- an eye for an eye. Cheat on them if they cheat on you. If they continuously hurt you or abuse you in some way, you do it to get them back.
7. Confirmation tractiveness Sometimes when you're in a long relationship, or if your significant other is taking you for granted, you begin to wonder if you're still attractive. Perhaps, because you were out on the dating circuit, you felt more attractive when you were single. If you have an affair, you've proven that a new person can be attracted to you.
8. The ThrillSome people just enjoy the thrill of cheating: running around secretly, risking getting caught, andcreating thrilling moments with a forbidden romance.
9. They Don't Consider It Cheating, Even Though You MightRelationships have that grey area, usually right before you become exclusive. He thinks date #4 is when you're "together," and you think date #2 is when you're "together." If you haven't talked about exclusivity, someone may think they are well within their rights to see other people, even though the other person in the relationship may not.I don't understand why people don't break up as soon as they have an urge to cheat. Is it natural to have temptation, or is temptation a sign that the relationship is losing its fire? What reasons would you add to this list, and do you disagree with any? If you've ever cheated, why did you do it? Could you forgive a cheater? If you are single, but seeing a person who is in a committed relationship, does that make you a cheater?

I STRUGGLE
JAMES 3
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
PLEASE STOP AND PRAY FOR CHAD & I
