Life laughs at me...and I laugh back.

ok, so yes, I...Lindsey Ann realize that I JUST posted on this thing, but life is funny, so I'm posting again. (This may be due to the fact that I deleted my facebook...I don't know how long that's gonna last.)


BUT...the story is as follows. I made a cup of coffee. (I LOVE COFFEE!!!!) And, I'm trying to cut back some of my addiction...so I only made a cup's worth. good, right? no, not today.


As I was pouring some powdered creamer into my AWESOME cup, some creamer got stuck in the spout which usually happens....so, I gave my little bottle a squeeze which usually happens....


and the WHOLE lid came off...dumping the WHOLE bottle of creamer into my cup! This does not usually happen. I saw the lid come off and was so surprised that I did absolutely nothing....


AND, the pot is empty. oh, life why do you mock me?!


so there's just one more question to ask:

"would you like a little coffee with your creamer?"

When Heartbreak hits...

Life is not always perfect, in fact it is mostly always imperfect. Days do not always bring sunshine. And sometimes the best things in this life often come with a genuine, real, open life... although this genuine life often becomes a vulnerable life, and vulnerable lives are subject to heartbreak.

There is your family. And your friends. And cleaning supplies, and maybe a dirty apartment to keep you occupied.


When heartbreak hits...


Scripture soothes.

"Blessed is she who BELIEVES that what the Lord has said, will be accomplished."~ Luke 1:45
"...we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies." ~1 Corinthians 8:1
"And I hear a loud voice from the throne, saying,"Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death;there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."~ Revelation 21:3-4
"And these things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."~ John 16:33

The LORD is the one who heals. 

Livin' on a Prayer...

THIS WEEKEND WAS INSANE. 

Looking back everything went so smoothly, and in the end it was a blast, but in the moment...chaos. The fourth of July is just a great holiday and in Dahlonega, GA its full of family fun. And I work in the only ice-cream store in the whole town. The day was absolutely beautiful! It was sunny, a breezy 90degrees and the town was jammin'. And at Connie's Ice Cream Parlor we were slammin'.

The night before our big 4th of July celebration was probably one of my favorite nights of work in a long time. The two boys and I were working and as usual it was a very busy night. Not only was it the weekend of 4th of July, but every first Friday of the month there are concerts in the park at the end of the street. So there were a lot of tourists, but also a lot of our favorite local customers out this weekend. 

I was cooking sandwiches like a crazy person, there was a line for ice-cream out the door and...our credit card machine runs out of paper....i don't know how to change the paper....so I tell the boys to use the machine in the front of the store until our boss comes back from getting more ice-cream. And we keep busting out work to help and serve our customers. I'm finishing up some food orders when I look and see the ONLY working machine get knocked off the shelf...and break. I was at a loss for words. I had no clue what to do, no clue how to fix it, and the store was full of paying customers. Needless to say, I was freakin' out a bit.


And that's when the radio began playing Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". The WHOLE store started singing..."woooaah, we're halfway there...wooah, livin' on a prayer!" I felt like I was living in a musical, and Connie's was crumbling under our feet...the boys and I didn't really know how to respond so we joined in singing! "WOooah, we're halfway there....wooah, living on a prayer!" Little did everyone know, the three of us, were living on some prayers for sure. We managed to handle everything until our boss Jimmy came back to fix the machines. And the night ended in pure success. It was awesome!
