Random thought:  I   muffin tops.  

I have yet to meet someone who is willing to trade me their muffin top for my muffin "stump". (aka-  the part that you find under napkins and that are hidden away in bowls and plates at Soup Planation/Sweet Tomato..and don't pretend you don't know what I"m talking about!)  

Are you that special somebody I've been looking for all my life? 

Verse of the Day: " Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus". - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Hrmm...either He is really pounding this into my head (which I definitely need)...or He's prepping me for something huge....GRREAt!

I think I accidentally clicked Google Desktop or some option, but I get random news alert windows that pop up every now and then at the bottom of my screen.  At first I thought it was annoying ‘cause they seem to be random things that I don't particularly have any interest in.  But I kept it on as I thought it would be good for me to get a good dose of current events and it hasn't annoyed me enough where I was gonna put in effort to figure out how to "uninstall" it. 

But today, a window popped up that said "Verse of the Day: Romans 12:12".  Curiously, I clicked on it as usually they are just news headlines, etc.  Here's the verse: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." 

God is CRAZY..yes CRAZY...He works in amazing ways...He answers prayers in amazing ways.  He answered my prayers..in a way, by e-mailing me..hahah..at least in virtual/digital realm of the internet world that I never expected Him to!… He told me exactly what I need to do.  It seems so simple and easy...but is it?
