Things I'm thankful for....

1. That Heather loves me!
2. That I'll always have friends that care about my life...and vise versa!
3. That MBS and her husband are great people and came to see me. You win for the most trips to see me so far!
4. That Ashley is in children's ministry and understands the burden and love that this job is!!
5. That even though our mee-maw roles change, get re-defined, get added on too, or dissolve, one thing remains...we're friends.
6. That despite how unworthy I am, God still continues to work in my life in amazing, incredible ways.

The End!

More updates

So...my dad actually had a heart attack. He's been in the hospital since Sunday morning. They thought that he may have just choked, but the test that they ran on Sunday and all day Monday showed that he did have a heart attack.

He's ok. Just trying to get him to calm down some. He still has pneumonia on top of all of this from inhaling stuff into his lungs as he was having the heart attack.

But he's doing good. The man has 9 lives I swear.

I'll keep you updated!

Update

Here's a really quick update on a lot of stuff.

1. Talked to my brother on Thursday night. He's 30, lives in Georgia and has had a heck of a life. Meaning, when he was 16 he went rebellious and has lived a pretty hard life since. But, he's straightened up since then and seems to be on a better track. He asked a lot of questions, I gave some real honest answers. Lots of emotions being brought up that I don't really want to deal with, but the fact that I get to meet my brother out of all of this makes it worth it.

2. Dad almost died yesterday. I left the New Hope around 6:30 yesterday morning headed back to ATL and by the time I got here, I got a phone call saying that daddy was in the hospital. At the nursing home that morning he got choked on his breakfast and was without air for some time. When they finally got it dislodged he inhaled some of it into his lungs and now pneumonia has set in. He's still in the hospital but seems to be doing ok...a little shaken up by the whole thing. But he's ok. He should be going back to the nursing home sometime today or tomorrow.

So that's it...my life...one big Oprah moment after another!

Awww

It's a boy??

So before some of you going freaking out about that subject line...i'll get right into an explanation.

Most of you may know that I am adopted. I've known this fact all of my life and have truly been blessed by the outcome.

Many of you also know that because I'm adopted by family, and in recent years I have been able to meet my biological brother and sister (from my birth father's side) and their families.

Well tonight I have received the news that another biological brother (this time from my birth mother's side) has opened up his adoption files. Because he was not adopted by family, his records have remained sealed until now, and it has been at his request that they be opened.

A case worker has contacted my adopted mother and hopefully by the end of the week, I will know if there is a chance that I will be meeting my biological brother.

So...needless to say...I'm excited, thrilled and scared to death at the same time. If nothing else my prayer has always been to know that he's ok and to know that he was raised in a good family. I now know that both are true.

So...I ask for your prayers this week. Please pray that I will have wisdom in decisions that I have to make. Whether the outcome is the way I want it or not, God has already answered prayers through all of this. He is so good and so faithful...in the big and small things of our lives.

I love you all and hope and pray that your week is amazing as well!

Love, Christy

It's back

That lump in my throat that I carried around last year, meaning that I felt like I was going to cry at any minute. Last year it came because I was going through hell with some friends of mine from home, and because God was getting me ready for the biggest move in my life.

But now what is it? Is it because I thought things were going to be so much different here but the truth is you can't out run your demons. Or is it because things really are different here...and that scares me. Or maybe just because I'm homesick and feel like I have a world to shoulder sometimes.

Whatever the reason is why it's back...I wish it would leave.

On a few updating notes. And please don't comment to much on these since the world apparently reads this thing.

1. A week down!
2. Pray for me Monday at 1:45...Marie it's your turn now!
3. I get my car back this week. Dang deer!
4. I love and miss you all!!! Really bad! Who wants to plan a get together!!??

I'm on a mission

You should all go to www.bbcnyc.com/signup.htm

or www.tlc.com and nominate me for What Not To Wear. I'm on a mission to get on this show. PLEASE HELP!!!

Like you didn't have enough BLOGS to look at

here's another one.

This one is being updated all this week.

It's www.tcamc.blogspot.com

It's of the power plant that is going on right now. Basically a bunch of high school and middle school students come help church plants (that's us) go into their communities and get the word out about the churches and help do community impact stuff.

The only staff that you'll see will be me since all of our guys are all at the beach suffering for Jesus! Must be a rough life....

That's it!

One less Bambi in the world

The Escort is ok...the passenger side door won't work..but who's ever brave enough to ride with me anyway!

I'm ok. I think. I took a tylenol PM around 1:30 this morning because Bambi's head coming at me was the only thing that I could see when I shut my eyes.

My former youth pastor might be able to regain his hearing after being on the phone with me while the whole incident occurred.

And for the record...I don't know if the deer died, I don't know if it was a girl deer or a boy deer, or what kind of freaking rack it had on it, AND I REALLY DON'T CARE!!

Oh well!

Only in the world of me...

Could one of my new jobs be....staying with a lady who is 104 years old. Her grandmother shook Lincoln's hand. I want to hear stories, she wants to cheat at Skip-bo. Oh well.

I'm a hypocrite

...i yell at everyone else to update and then I don't for forever. I'm sure that's not the only way i'm a hypocrite. In fact i'm quite sure of it.

So i'm depressed because I just took a quiz for depression and it says i'm depressed.

Did you get that? Seriously...It says that i'm depressed and should be on medication. But I sure don't want that. I just want to get out of this funk that i'm in. Everything is great, I mean sure I miss home, but that's not it. That's not the source of it, I don't think. Homesickness is one thing.

Course it could be because i'm lazy, eat way...way unhealthy and can't fall asleep until 2 in the morning, so I sleep till 10 the next morning and feel like crap for it.

It also doesn't help that all the guys from the church that are usually in the office are getting ready to leave for most of the summer. Well some of them longer than others. I mean don't get me wrong...I have done an amazing amount of work this week...but IT'S SO BORING around here...around my life for that fact. I mean who wants to not have hardly any human contact for a whole week at a time.

My roomate is great though and she got treated like crap this weekend by a stupid boy, and I just may have to drive to Augusta and open up a can on him. Seriously.

So that's it...if you want to know more call...not that there's really anything anyone could do...but you should call anyway!

Me!

Sweet Home Alabama!!!

So this update should be a fun one!

I'm slowly getting over the bird flu...or bronchitis as some like to call it. I went to the doctor last Friday. She gave me 2 inhalers, a round of anti-biotic, some other pill and told me that I should have come in earlier. Well you start paying my bills lady...and i'll come in every time my nose is running.

This past Wednesday, my room mate Aundrea and my friend Nate and I all made the trip to the New Hope, to pick up a couch that Kim and Greg gave me. It's the best couch in the whole wide world...and why they got rid of it, I'll never know....but I'm glad they did.

While we were there we stopped by the nursing home to visit my daddy. Well, while we were there, they got to meet the "lady" of New Hope. This woman has been in prison twice for killing two men, she shot another but her son took the blame so she wouldn't be sent to death row...and it's believed that she shot another man, but was never caught. But there she was, at the nursing home, talking to my mother like they are old friends, talking about how her shoes were "killing her." Nice choice of words.

The house is finally starting to come together. Everything but my room that is. It still has a ways to go...but it's getting there.

I'm going home next Thursday and staying until Monday morning. I can't wait. I'm so ready to spend a few days at home and not feel rushed. Being home for only 2 hours the other day was hard. I was so ready to see my mother and then had to turn around and leave. I'm really homesick...but I'll get over it, I'm sure.

The End!

See what the bird flu can do to you!

Happy Happy Birthday, we're so glad you came...

Happy Happy Birthday to the mee-maw gang!

Ok...that was really cheesy...but I don't care.

Happy Birthday to my good friends Heather Weather (11th) and Sara hyphenated Beth (13th). Your birthday cards are in the mail and you are NOT allowed to tell anybody about them. Why? Because the card was so dang funny that I bought 8 of them and ALL the mee-maws will get one eventually. (beth and susan...you can either wait until next year or I could just send you a pretend birthday card now!!)

Other than it being my great friend's birthday's. I'm sick as a dog. I think I may have the bird flu.

Dance Dance!!

How many of these do we remember!!!???

Home Sweet Home

I'm so freaking tired...but it's a good tired. We've moved into the new home this weekend. Well Aundrea did more of the MOVING and I just kinda unloaded my stuff.

It's amazing how much more permanent things seem now. That's good and bad in a lot of different ways.

I went to a conference last week with Ashley Smith. The conference was amazing, the road trip...and yes it turned in to a full road trip to the Steak and Shake was even better! Well almost. Louie, Reggie, Andy and the whole bunch at Northpoint are amazing. I'm not out to copy them...but why re-invent the wheel on some things.

I went home this weekend to see one of the youth from FBC New Hope go off to prom. In my mind she's still four like when I met her. But in reality she's about to be a Senior. She's still red-headed and freckled face and beautiful. She looked AMAZING!!!

Other than that, life is random. But then again...it is MY life....
