It's hard to dance with the devil on your back

What ever happened to good, honest, dependable men and women of their word? now a day we don't have to be dependable, or people of our word because if we change our minds it's as easy as shooting a text. Even breaking up with people is made easier through texting! If we make plans, then something else (or something better some would say) comes up no harm, no foul, we can just get on our cell phones and call or text our regrets, or reschedule. This way we are being dependable, without actually committing. That is the famous "C-word" of our generation. Commitment. That's what it all boils down to ladies and gents! We don't actually stand people up anymore if we aren't where we say we'll be because either they call us and ask, or we call them saying we got lost, or we are late, or we just plum forgot!

Really though I want good ole fashioned dependability! If you tell me you are going to be somewhere be there! I recently had a little flash back experience that actually inspired this blog topic. My phone had died, and my roommate Alli and I had said that we were going to meet back at our apartment, drop my car off, and then head to a party together in her car. Well I get home, Alli is no where to be seen. Remember my phone is dead, so there is no way for either of us to get in contact with one another. So I am sitting, waiting...luckily it's a nice night, so it's not too bad outside, but I am so annoyed! We planned to meet back at the house, and here I am sitting outside for 20min waiting for her!

I have no idea where she is, and while I speculate for a second that she could have gotten a flat tire on the side of the road and I have no idea, honestly I don't know where she could be! A good half hour later, after I'd gone inside, changed a lightbulb, checked the mail, and charged my phone Alli comes cruising down the parking lot. REALLY?!?! Yeah it was quite annoying, but it just taught me a very valuable lesson. When you tell someone you are going to be somewhere do it! What if we didn't have cell phones. What then? What would you do? Be dependable NOW!

Love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme

This just in...needy guys are NOT attractive! I want a man who can stand on his own two feet, and make decisions on his own! Dealing with needy men has made me realize that I need to be less needy myself! If this is what a guy sees when he sees me I don't want it! It's not fun, attractive, and doesn't make for good conversations! haha! So! New resolution: be less needy!

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness

Everyone has trials, when I talk to people about what's going on in their lives, it usually makes what I am going trough seem so much easier. God only gives us what we can handle. When we are saying how great our life is going satan and his angels are standing in the wings to drown us in misery. We need to always turn to the Lord.

This life is all about having trials, and growing from them. If we didn't have bumps along the road we would never end up where we want to be in the end! If we can't do good, and learn to get along with people, resolve issues, and deal with disappointment there is no way we would be fit to live with our Father in Heaven. No one likes trials, but with the Lord's help we can learn from them, grown, and come closer to Him. :)

The time we have is time well borrowed, stay out all night, we'll get tomorrow

Lately I have been quite addicted to the app Draw Something! Wow! Who knew that it could be so much fun?!?!

Also I am quite into instagram! Sad as it may sound, facebook is loosing it's luster! haha! All of the crap on facebook makes me more prone to waste my time Drawing Something! I should be doing something actually productive, but oh well.
