Blogging

2006-07-10T11:09:00.000-05:00

I know ya'll want me to keep posting. But honestly I hate blogs. I don't really read anyones blogs. I'm never on the computer! lol I haven't sent an e-mail in months. I suppose that when something as exciting as almost dieing happens, I can post about it. I'll try...but i'm not promising anything!

Thank you all for caring!!

~*Joey*~

I ALMOST DIED TONIGHT!!!

2006-07-02T23:14:00.000-05:00

Yeah yeah, I'm finally posting. I just never have anything interesting in my life to talk about. UNTIL NOW!!!

Yeah, I got in an arguement with a semi! So, yeah, i've been driving a lot, and I started driving on the interstate, and I love it! And I asked my dad if I can go driving with him on the interstate at night, and he said yeah, sure, and we go, and I was coming onto the ramp and picking up my speed and this semi is coming and he doesn't get into the other lane. He wouldn't let me in, and he was going pretty fast, and then the bridge was coming up, so I had like no room, so I had to slam on the breaks until the semi past. It was scary!!! God's hand was defiently over me and my dad, cause I could of been gone!!

But yeah, nothing all that interesting...I work..and work, and work some more. Thats about it. I most likely wont be posting anymore. I'm never on the computer, and i'm not the biggest fan of blogging. So Love ya!!

Picture of the Devil's Punch Bowl

2006-05-25T13:36:00.000-05:00

We were really tired after all the climbing.
This is Micah and Matt. Micah is on the left and Matt is looking at something. I think he is looking at where Micah is gonna jump. lol
This is way to beautiful to be the Devil's punch bowl.

Micah is Gone

2006-05-24T13:14:00.000-05:00

Yup, Micah was here, and now he is gone. He got here Monday, and we went to Mall of America. My mom and him made me go on this Log Chute thing. It was crazy. Then we came home, and I went to bed, and Micah stayed up waiting for Jessa. Then the next day Micah and Jessa went with my mom out to eat. I didn't go with cause I wasn't hungry and I didn't want to.lol Then they came home, Jessa went to work, and me and Micah stayed home to be bored. He played piano, and I worked on school. So then, when my mommy came home from work, we started to make dinner, and me and Micah had a water fight. I had started off doing good, then he got me back really good. lol We ate, and then went to the Devil's Punch Bowl. It was really beauitful and we did lots of climing! I saw my life flash before my eyes! lol Well, my mom really wanted to take pictures, so she went back home, cause it was only ten minutes away, and she got the camera. But, um, yeah, there was no memory card in it. lol She didn't want to go all the way back. So I called Matt, and he went to the house, got he card and came out. He climed anywhere and everywhere with Micah. I was with TWO monkeys!!! Then Micah got the bright idea to jump off a ledge, and one wrong move, he would fall....HARD! And most likely break some bones. So I video taped it, and he made it just fine. lol So we come home, me and Matt beat my mom and Micah, so I got the shower first! WAHOO! Then we went to have a bon-fire, but me and Matt decided to fight over the lighter, and we broke it. So we went to the store to by a new lighter, and Micah decided to pick up some other things. Needless to say, he taught Matt a couple things i'm not sure I wanted him to learn. lol They both liked fire wwaaayyy too much. It involved bug spray, some kind of lighter fluid you get behind the counter and have to be 18 to buy, a bottle, and fire. It was pretty cool, until they both put bug spray on their hands and stuck their hands in the fire...that was funny/dumb/crazy/nuts. I'm surprised the fire department didn't come out. lol But now Micah is gone. We got up at 6 am. Which was cruel and unsual. We went in the airport, got him checked in, had some coffee, and said good-bye. My mom didn't want him to leave, but he had to be in Anchorage the next day.

Now I have to go take a LONG shower cause it is sssooo hot here! But I love it! I'll get some pictures on here soon!

~*Joey*~

I'm Tired!

2006-05-09T11:34:00.000-05:00

Aunt Net...I went crazy around this house trying to find her shoe. I've look in places that it would be impossible to be. I think we should send out an Amber Alert for the lost shoe. lol Its driving me as nuts as its driving you. lol

So yeah, like every other day, I have to work, and I don't really want to. lol i was talking to my mom yesturday and she told Micah is gonna be here the 22nd. and i'm like...ok...I thought he was coming for camp, and she said, yeah, he is coming for that too. So, why is he coming here the 22nd? Because he can. Oookkk. That was the first I heard of anything. I never know whats going on. People just show up at the house, i'm like...ok, Hi. :P I think Joshie is coming too for camp, or the assembly, or something. I don't know. I just know people will be at my house in July and Auguest. lol

I turn 17 on July 24...just to let everyone know! We are gonna to have a PARTY! Yeah man!! I'm excited, cause you know what comes after 17.....if you don't, you need to go back to school!! lol 18!! WAAHOOO...thats means I move out and go to college!!! YAHOO!!! I can't wait, and you know what else that means...my parents can't take my phone!! YYAAHHOO!!! But right now, i'm 16, not all that special, but hey, i'm only 16 once right? Why not make the best of it! Oh yeah, I got my permit...my mom kept bugging me to tell you guys. But it ain't like I ever drive, so I don't see why to make a big deal out of it.

Well, thats all! Pray that I find that stupid shoe!!!

~*Joey*~

Matt and Joleesa

2006-05-08T16:23:00.000-05:00

Here is a picture of me and Matt when we went to go eat with my dad and Jessa at their work. It was really pretty around there. lol Sunday was really crazy too. Matt came to help us mow the lawn, and he wore me out. We had a water fight..that was funny. I'm really tired. lol Well, thats it for now.

~*Joey*~

Where did they go??

2006-05-04T11:12:00.000-05:00

Ok, I woke up this morning about 6:30 am to go to my drivers ed class. Met up with Matt, sat outside and waited for my mom to pick me up. Then we go to McDs to get some breakfest and coffee....gotta love coffee! :) Come home...eat, then help my dad clean up the yard. Now, I layed down for like an hour nap, which wound up being a 30 min nap, cause I had the freakest dream. I wake up, come out to the living room....and no one is home. Come to think of it...my sisters still aren't home. Where did they go?? Oh well.

Yesturday was very interesting. I did my school work, as much as I could handle on the computer. Cleaned my room, and then cleaned the kitchen. My mom comes home, and I ask her..."can Matt come over?" She told me she would think about it...so I made dinner for her, served her, and as we were eating I asked her how her thinking was going. lol She told me she would let me know at 5:30. Ok, now if you don't know Matt, he is very hyper ALL THE TIME. He weighs like only 10 pounds more then me...he always has ssoo much energy. He can't sit still. So, when he comes over, me and him have a lot of fun...but maybe too much. We tend to pick on Jenna and my mom, and pull pranks. lol But he promised he would be quiet. So, she said yes...but he had to be out of her house at 10 pm. lol So he came over, he was here in like 5 min. Not even kidding you. And he lives on the other side of town. Ok, so when he got here, I told him to behave, and we went downstairs to watch...Dukes of Hazard!! That is an awesome movie. I LOVE IT! Matt has the horn on his car...so funny. Then Jenna came downstairs at 7 to watch her stupid show. lol So me and Matt went outside, because one of Matt's fishing buddies saw his car and told him to come outside. We sat out in the cold talking. Then we went for walk to get chocolate. That was funny! Then, we finished our movie and he went home. The End.

I wanted to go to the races on Friday but my parents wont let me...so who knows, maybe we'll go do something else. His mom wants to take us out. That should be interesting. lol

Well, thats it....anyone wanna work for me?? No, seriously, I need to find someone to work for me on Friday...I work 3:10 - 8. lol No? Ok, thats ok, I wouldn't work for me either.

~*Joey*~

I know...its been awhile

2006-05-02T14:32:00.000-05:00

Well, i'm not sure what to say, I know it has been awhile, but I seriously hate blogs. lol They annoy me. But hey, my sister annoyed me more..."you need to post something."

Well, Saturday is prom, and remember, my parents wouldn't let me go, but me and Matt are still gonna try to do something..thanks to Jenna! LOVE YOU!!

But hey, I got good news...ok, here is the story...Saturday Matt, Ashley, and her boyfreind Joey (Joseph) came over to watch movies.we had a blast, and yeah, Jenna got annoyed, but whats new right? lol J/K! So Sunday, me and Matt wanted to watch a movie again, but he was stuck at his Aunt's house, and his mom wouldn't leave. lol And I had church at 6 pm. Well, we really wanted to hang out, so i asked him if he wanted to come to church with me....he said ok!! I bout lost my socks!!!! Matt Johnson came to church with me!! CRAZY! So after church we came home and watched our movie. Cool Runnings. lol He knew the whole movie by heart. It was really funny! That is pretty much it...I have to go to work at 4.

Anyone wanna go to work for me??

~*Joey*~

Can we say....HYPER!

2006-04-23T16:08:00.000-05:00

We had so much fun last night. I don't even know what we're laughing about!!
See...I gave him his hat back and this is what I got!
Does this not crack you up or what?? LOL!!
Yeah...he tried to throw me down a hill...this is the nice picture.
And, yes, we made up. TRUSE?!?!? This isn't even half the pictures. We had so much fun last night. I kind of hit him in a bad spot accidentally. I felt so bad. He was in so much pain. Even tho I was laughing so hard!! But, he recovered, and he got me back good. He is coming over in like a half hour, so I better save up my energy. lol

~*Joey*~

Hey...Guess what...I'm posting!

2006-04-19T21:20:00.000-05:00

I guess i'll post. Its been awhile so, why not.

Tomorrow I get my permit...YAY! I'm excited. Then its senior skip day, so Matt is coming over for a cook out! YAY! Soo fun! I can't wait...then, maybe i'll be able to drive to work!! Fat chance...but hey..at least I tried right?

So, yeah, Jenna told you about our truck. She has pictures of me with it, i'll have to beg for those. lol I'm like totally in LOVE with that truck. I know I can't drive it, but I don't care. I would rather ride in it! It is ssoo awesome! Anybody I see or talk too..i'm like.."have you seen my truck??" and they ask me "they got you a truck?!?!?" lol No...I just like to think its mine. lol My mom comes into work asking Eric if she can borrow me for a second..i'm like...ok...and I walk outside with her and she tells me to get in the truck, and i'm like, whats going on?!?!? So, yeah, we got a truck...YAY!

Then I got to see my boys!! They are ssoo cute...i've missed them soo much. Jared and Ismael. Yeah, Jenna spelled is wrong. Its Ismael...not Ishmael. lol When she left, I cried. I might not see them again. I miss babysitting them. I've learned so much about children, since i've babysat them. I've had so many good times with those kids. I remember when I was babysitting Jared and I sat him down to play the piano...ever since then, he always went to the piano to play. Then I remember when Jared was sick, and he threw up on me like 4 times. I had to give him a bath because I layed him down for a nap and he threw up, so it was all in his hair. Then I kind of freaked out cause I couldn't get ahold of his parents. So when dad came home, he had to tell me what to do. Leave him in his onesy, and slowly rock him the chair to settle his stomach. I don't know if thats what you do...but hey, it worked. Then when he got bubbles in his tummy...walk around in circles, while burping him, to get the bubble to come out...aaahhh, good times right? I would say bring on motherhood...but no, that can wait, a llloooonnnggg wait.
Now Ismael, I didn't babysit him as much as Jared, cause she decided to put them in daycare, and Jared was one by then, but I watched Ismael a couple of times. I actually watched both of them at once...that was interesting. I remember Jared hitting Ismael in the head with a toy truck when Ismael was just a few months old. Marisol was there at that time, but she like handed the crying baby to me and went after Jared. lol oh thanks Mary. lol I didn't mind. Then there was the time when I was watching both of them and Ismael ran out of formula...yeah, not fun. And he was only like 4 months old, so I couldn't give him anything else. But it came just in time.
Ok, now my most recent memory of Ismael...Jared was sick, and they took him to the hospital, and so I was watching Ismael, and Mary called saying there keeping Jared over night cause he had a seizure. ( we found out what was causing the siezures, and hes ok, no damage at all. PTL!) So I have Ismael all night, he slept fine...only woke up once for a bottle. However...I slept aweful. I got maybe 2 hours sleep. I was so afraid of me falling asleep and not hearing him if he crys. Or if he moved just the little bit, I would wake up. Then I wound up getting called into work. NOT FUN!
I love those boys tho. I remember giving Jared a lemon, and the face he made! lol So funny! But he liked it..he wanted more. lol Then there was the time when I had Jared laughing so hard. It was great. Good times. I'm gonna miss them so much! UH! I think i'm gonna cry!

So, now that I went down memory lane with my babys, and this is probably the longest post i've ever done. I think that its. Jenna pretty much already told you all about everything. lol Maybe I should leave the blogging to her...lol

~*Joey*~

P.S. I'm on Jenna's laptop....she let me use her laptop...is anyone else shocked out of their socks?!?!??!

Ok, so yeasturday was sssoo warm!! Me and Jenna went for 2 walks! We took a walk at 9pm. We walk to the gas station. Guess who I saw!!!!! ERIC!! Yup I did!! He took a double take on me...it was funny! Then as I was walking home...guess who called me..........give up? Ok....MICAH! Yeah, well, I called him earlier, and left a message cause I needed to talk to him. So, yeah, my day was kind of eventful. Then Autumn called me, and I wish I could of talked to her longer, but my mom made get off, cause it after my curfew. lol I have a sad curfew, 10 pm. During the summer it only goes an hour longer, 11 pm. lol How about midnight? or 1 am? lol no? Ok. lol

Did I ever tell you that I talked to Kong?? Yeah...he called me Sunday night. We had a good talk. A much needed talk. We still weren't able to talk about everything that we needed to talk about, but were slowly getting there. I bet you by next Sunday, me and Kong will have everything worked out! At least I hope!

PSALM 73(My God's Enough)

2006-04-06T12:56:00.000-05:00

By: BarlowGirl

I've had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things
That keep destorying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
Somehow believeing that they have what I need

Chorus:

My God's enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I've seen
My God's enough, enough for me

I can't explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better then I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything

Who have I in heaven but You
Nothing I desire but You
My hear may fall but not You
You are mine forever

When I figure out how to put the song on here....I will. lol I love this song!

~*Joey*~

Most likely me, because I love my cell phone, and it never leaves my side. lol well...most of the time.

Anyways....I got asked to prom!! So exciting, but yeah...I can't go. Parents wont let me. I know why, its just a little frustrating cause every girl wants to get all dressed up, hair done, the whole works. Have some guy come to the door, say "your so beautiful", the parents cry, we take lots of pictures, and then off I go, i'll be home at.......well, I would probably say some really insane time, but I would get trouble. So, i'll be home at 5 pm, right dad? lol At least thats what he would tell me. Life's a bummer. Oh well...

Thats about all thats going on right now, here in the land of cheese. lol Its getting warmer outside everyday, and I love it! Right now its sunny and looks like it could be in the 50s. I should check on that! Well, I got school work.

MHS Choir/band/Orch. Concert

2006-03-31T12:36:00.000-06:00

Yup, thats right...I went to the high school concert. It was ssooo much fun. When the kids who do the dancing came on, we all went crazy in the stands. I sat by my buddy Ashley. Once she came and got me. I didn't get to see her sing cause I had to work till 7 and it started at 6:30. It was pretty busy too. So, I couldn't get off early.

I had my Drivers Ed class yesturday too, so that ment I had to get up at 6:30 in the morning. Not a normal thing for me. So needless to say, after I got off work, I was tired. VERY tired.

Thats about all that happened. OOHHH......IT WAS RAINING!!! Thundering and lighting. SO awesome. It was raining really hard. I was wearing flip flops too...lol kind of cold and wet. But yeah, anyways. Me and Ashley want to hang out this weekend which means, I gotta get my school done.

New Blog and Drivers Ed

2006-03-29T10:38:00.000-06:00

Jenna asked me if I wanted a new background for my blog, i'm like...sure, why not. So she showed me a bunch, and I had to say I liked this one the best. The only problem is, it doesn't show my profile. But thats ok, I didn't want ya'll to know about me anyways. lol

We've had warm weather! YAY!!! It been so nice!! The sun is shinning. Before you know it, its gonne be summer! YAY!
Yesturday I started my drivers ed class at the High School. It was so weird going back. Seeing everybody that I went to school with. I miss it so much!! I saw a lot a people that I work with, plus people I haven't seen in forever!! I had one class of drivers ed and i'm already, ready for it to be over. lol It sssoo boring!! I have to have the class for the rest of the school year. That means till June!! 3 months!! Thats insane!! I have it on Tuesdays and Thursday. I take my permit test Apirl 13. So, ya'll watch out...JOEY GONNA BE DRIVING!!! YAY!!! So exciting. Can't wait!
Well, i got school work. I wish I go to school...like I use too. But MHS is not a good school. Half the school is pot heads, its sad, some of the kids that i use to hang out with back in the day...lol are now either high or wasted when they come to school, or at least hung over from the night before. So, yeah, i'll just stick to one class there thank you.

~*Joey*~

What would I do with out my cell phone?!??!?

2006-03-27T12:59:00.000-06:00

So, yeah, my cell phone is connected to me. It never leaves me!! Yesturday, I don't think there wasn't a moment that I wasn't talking on it or texting on it. lol Pretty crazy. Lets see, I talked to Ashley, Joshie, Micah oh, and Erica...I texted Erica. I talked to Joshie the most. I think most of my day, I was either on the phone to him, or texting him. lol Wait a minute...thats everyday.
Yeah, well, Jenna was talking to Micah forever, and I found out that she was talking to both Micah and Joshie, so I got cranky. lol So, Joshie called me...made me happy. Then I got off the phone with Joshie cause I had to vaccum. So when I get done Micah calls me, and hes like "why you cranky?" BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT!!! It was just a blah day. Didn't feel like being hyper, or happy, just blah.
Now my phone is acting retarted. It shuts off on its own and it has selective ringing. It doesn't ring when Kong calls me, and it doesn't ring when my mom calls me. lol Kind of funny actually.
Last Wednesday I went and hung out with Ashley, then Friday I think, we went bowling, then she came over, and I watched Nypolen Dynomite for the first time. Which is the stupidest movie I have ever seen. Then she came over Saturday night, we played games and eat pizza. So, yeah, been kind of busy. Last week I only had one day off, and Thursday was kind of a bad, bad, bad day, but yeah, we wont talk about that. Saturday was crazy busy. But It was fun. I was on backline with Ashley my buddy, then she left, and Eric took her spot, so I had fun with Eric too...I was stocking the cooler, and the shelf broke, and everything fell on top of me, they all just laughed at me. So, I made Eric fix it...so HA! Whos laughing now!! Ok, i'm done...wow, this is kind of a long post...

Prayer Request

2006-03-10T13:21:00.000-06:00

Ok, I know I said I wouldn't post again, but I just might have to throw one in here every now and again.

Well, I'm asking for prayer because I got some kind of flu, I don't know what it is. I'm very week, just getting dressed wares me out. My throat kills, Its hard to swallow anything, and then I have a bad taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of, so anything I eat taste aweful. my head hurts, and every part of my body aches. I have a hard time getting to sleep, and last night I was running a fever. One minute I was freezing the next I was buring up, and I tend to have a feeling like i'm gonna throw up. Not to menstion i'm very dizzy! I tend to feel like i'm gonna pass out!! I have to go to work at 4...so if ya'll would please pray for me!! Its only 4 - 7 other wise I think I would call in. Which i've only done once, and it was a year ago, so its been awhile since i've been sick like this.

Thanks Bunches!!!

Are you serious? FOR REAL?!?!?!?

2006-03-06T11:30:00.000-06:00

Ok...I know I haven't posted in forever...and I didn't plan on really ever posting again, but I guess I have to tell you about last night!!

I know Jenna already told ya'll that Matthew came into town...but let me tell how it all went down...

Ok, so my friend Kong called me, ya know, just to talk, were kind of close...and he had another call on the line so he said he would call me right back, so i'm like, whatever, so like 2 min later the phone rang, and I thought it was Kong so I answered it...

"Hello?"
In a deep voice..."Hello?"
Now, at first I thought it was Micah, but I wasn't sure, so I'm like.."Who is this?"
"You don't know who this is?"
"MATTHEW?!?!??!"
"YEAH!"
"Oh my goodness, whats up?"
"not much"
"where you at?"
"In Wisconsin"
"oh really! where?"
"in a small town"
"huh?"
"yeah"
"are you in Menomonie?!!??!?!"
"yeah"
"Are you serious?"
"yeah"
"your not lieing to me are you?"
"no, would I lie to you!"
"i'm not answering that...lol"
"lol"
"are you for real?!?!"
"yeah"
"where you at in Menomonie?"
"in a place....something, I dunno, something 24 hrs."
"oohhh....Market Place"
"yeah"
"oh my goodness that awesome!"

So you know, were talkin and then he asked me if he could talk to Jessa, and Jessa is like shocked out of her mind. lol She came upstairs and said that he wants to meet at Perkins, but Perkins was closed for carpet cleaning, so we then went to Green Mill, that was closing at 10. And then we went to a small resturant on the other side of town. And I was in the car with Matt so he wouldn't get lost...even tho I told him to go the wrong way...what can I say, I missed his crazy driving. lol We argued about music, and talk. It was sssoo nice to see my big brother again. I missed him so much!!!! I still can't believe its been three years!!! Well, anyways, he had to get back to the citys where he was staying...and I ran up to him and gave him a BIG hug!! And he picked me up and twriled me around...uh...it was so sad seeing him go. It better not be 3 years again!!!

So anyways...this will probably be my last post...i'm not really into the blogs anymore...I try to look at some of them but I don't know! My life isn't always this interesting! lol

Why God allows pain and suffering

2006-02-20T18:12:00.000-06:00

A friend sent this to me, and I thought it was really good, so instead of sending it as a forward and having the chance of people just deleting it without reading it, i'm gonna post it here. So here you go...

This is one of the best explanation of why God allows pain and suffering...

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me." "Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

I Can Only Imagine

2006-02-20T15:52:00.000-06:00

I Can Only Imagine
By Mercyme

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

Life is intresting...

2006-02-05T19:07:00.000-06:00

My life is...intresting. I work on school...go to work...sometimes, if they schedule me. Wednesday I went to a rap session. Which is where they ask you if the mangers are doing what they should. So we got a lot of things out on the table, but my question is, is any of the things that we talked about gonna change?? Anyways, after I got back, I stayed for about an hour to get thru a rush, then went home. One of the girls came in and asked if I would take her shift Thursday, so i'm like sure! Then they called me in Friday, and then worked Saturday, so I got some hours in. Next week we have Wednesday off, so I work 7- 3. They took me off my 6- 2 shift.
But thats ok, I wake up at 6:30 instead of 5:30. lol I am not a morning person. You'll find me stay up till 2, 3 o' clock in the morning instead of getting up at 5 or 6 am. Lets just say, I love my coffee on Saturday. I'm a huge coffee addict, or at least a caffine addict. I can not go thru a day without some sort of caffinee. I did take caffinee pills on time. That didn't go very well. I had taken 3 pills!! I called Joshie just as they kicked in, and he started freakin out on me. I couldn't stop laughing. So, lets just say, i'm never doing that again. It was kind of funny tho, I was not myself at all, I think Joshie thought I was on drugs...lol, I guess I kind of was. I just remember everything. Let me just say, that was not the smartest thing i've ever done. So warning to all....DO NOT TAKE CAFFINEE PILLS!!! Or at least 3 of them at a time. lol

Well, were gonna get pizza and watch the superbowl!! PARTY!!! TTYL!

Life's Battles

2006-02-02T00:19:00.000-06:00

"Who comforteth us in all our tribulastion, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1: 4

We all go thru trials and tribulations in our life. As the heading says, were on the battlefield. Everyday is a new battle. Good things never come easy. In my life, everyday when I go to work is a battle. Just waking up in the morning is a battle. We need to realize we're in the end times. We can't wait and say, "oh, i'm young, I have enough time to live right". THAT IS NOT THE CASE! We're gonna be judged! I need to make sure that i'm doing my part. Witnessing every chance I get, or at least making it known what I believe. I could never live with myself if I was told I wasn't doing my part.
I'm gonna be honest, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life time. But its those mistakes that i've learned from. I've never made the same mistakes twice. With some people tho, you might have to make the same mistakes more the once, maybe thats the only way to learn. No matter how you look at it, you learn by doing. People will tell you don't do this, don't do that. No matter what people tell you, your not gonna learn not to do that until you do it, and know for yourself. You'll tell yourself over and over again, "why did I do that? why didn't I listin?" Somethings, to some people are obvious, like not drinking, not smokeing, no sex before marrige. But to other people, that is the very thing that they are tested with. With some people it might be jealousy, or selfishness, or swearing, or even holding grudges. Even the simple things, like being craby all the time or even being rude or saying something mean to someone and not saying sorry. Everyday we go thru things, but when we get thru those battles and get victory over it, we are stronger then ever!! We can stand strong and know that we did it, we made it thru, but we couldn't of made it thru without our loving Father!! So bring on my next battle...and when I get victory over that, bring on the next one. Let me get closer to God. With Him as number one in my life, I know I can conquer anything!! So watch out you nasty ol' devil!! You come close to me, your gonna get a BEAT DOWN!! lol

I hope I have said something that has touched you, or maybe got you thinking, or just a slap in the face with a big DUH! or you just forgot.

Love & Prayers,

Joey

IM ON THE BATTLEFIELD

By: Otis L. McCoy

Verse -

1. I was along and idle, I was a sinner too, I heard a voice from heave, saying there is work to do; I took my Master's hand, And I joined that haven;y band, Now i'm on the battlefield for my Lord,

Chorus -

"Now i'm on the battlefield for my Lord, Yes, I'm on the battlefield for my Lord; I promised Him that I would serce Him till I die, Now i'm on the battlefied for my Lord!

Verse -

2. I lost my flag in battle, My staff is in my hand, i'm taking it to Jesus, Over in the glory land; in distant land I trod, Crying sinner come to God, Now i'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

Chorus

Verse -

3. I'm fighting for my Savior, The battle is most won, The trumpet will be sounding, The coming of the Son; I'll lay my armor down, Take up my robe and crown, Then I'll walk the golden streets with my Lord!!

So, I know i've been going crazy with the songs on my blog. Never happy with the same song on there for more then a week. But I think I got it! I was looking at Erica King's blog, and she had a song on there that I just LOVE!!! Its by Kirk Franklin. Even tho, i'm not the biggest fan of him. I love that song. So, i'm gonna put it on my blog. Thank to Erica!!! Luv ya girl!!

Friday, I go to work, and Melissa asks me, "Joleesa, can you work 11 -7 instead of 6- 2?" I'm like, sure, beats waking up at 5:30 am! Then, Jessie comes out, and tells me that i'm gonna be working 4- 8 tomorrow, and i'm like HUH?!?!? She tells me that if I have a problem with it, talk to La. AAHH! I couldn't do it right then cause we were busy, but then La comes out, and says shes going home, i'm like WAIT!! So I talked to her, and asked for a longer shift, and so that brings me to my "late night." I worked 4 - 12 last night!!! I closed!! It was ssooo much fun!!! We had to do a maintence close, but we had a lot of fun doing it!! I didn't get out until 12:30. But it sure beats opening! And Og my goodness! Last night someone came in and order 20 doublecheese burgers!! And didn't call it in! So, guess who got to make all of that!?!??! ME!!!! They had me on side 2. just making the 20 doubles. Then, about 20- 30 mins later, someone comes in and orders 20 MORE doubles. Guess who got to make that!! ME! In less then an hours time, I made 40+ doublecheese burgers!!! Thank God for a dat off!! No more doubles!! No more!

Well, thats it for me.

Ok, just so ya'll know, and if its ok...i'm gonna use some of your responses to my post about abortion for my paper. Just let me know if that is ok...I should of said that in the first place. LOL But i'm kind of excited, I have to work today, so i'm gonna ask some people at work, and maybe i'll get an opposing view. Well, I really hope so, cause I need an oppsing view for my paper! lol It would be kind of hard to come up with an opposing view since i'm so strongly against it!!

So anyways, Jessa got a new cell phone. I'm so jealous. Its a camera phone. It takes pictures and videos. It has a MP3 player in it! And it also has BLUETOOTH!!!! For ya'll who don't know what that it is, let me tell you, cause its really AWESOME!! Bluetooth is wireless. If she gets an wireless ear piece she can answer her phone without even touching her phone. Best of all, no cords to get in the way!! So, say she is in her car, driving, her phone is in her purse on the front seat, and she cant go dig for it, well, all she has to do is push a button on her ear piece, and off she goes. Is that awesome or what?!?!?!

You know, before cell phones came into world, and wonderful ear pieces. We were able to tell the freaks apart. Now....you don't know whos a freak, and whos just talking on the cell phone. Funny? Ok, so I heard that on comic view, I got a laugh out of it!

Well, back to my school!

What do you think?

2006-01-19T13:09:00.000-06:00

I haven't really posted anything cause nothing reall interesting is going on. I'm really excited to go to Autumn's house the 26th - 29th. Were going to a hotel. SO FUN!!! Thats about as interesting as it gets.
I haven't had much hours at McDs. They've cut back everyones hours in Jan. and Feb. So, I only got 12 hours this week. I took next weekend off for Autumn, I hope they don't just cut me out completly!! I will be mad, and I will be forced to blow up in Mikes face. lol That'll be fun. But I mean, I have things to pay for. I have an $87 phone bill. Don't panic ya'll, thats the norm :) I have a job for a reason people!!

Ok, since I have nothing interesting in my life going on like ya'll. I have an argumenitive essay due, and i'm doing it on Abortion. I kind would like to know what ya'll veiws on Abortion is? I mean, I know what they would be, hopefully, that you don't agree. What i'm getting at is, what if someone gave you a sistuation, that a person would consider abortion, what would you say? One of my sistuation that I brought up in my paper, is: someone being raped at a young age. What would your arguement be to that person?

I know, its a hard subject, but we're all grown...lol, I think a lot of people like to argue it,because abortion is ssooo common in the Untied States. I think a lot of people use abortion to cover up their mistakes, and careless descions. Just let me know what you think?

Ladys and Gents...we have a new blogger!!!

The first song is "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts and then the second song is Evanescence "Going Under." Its actually live, so ya'll should hear it!! I love the song!

Joey

THANK YOU GRACIE!!!

2006-01-12T18:33:00.000-06:00

Ok, first off...I looked at Gracie's blog and saw that she had a song playing. Which I love that song! So I thought I would do the same!! Me and Jessa love this song. I play it on piano, and Jessa sings, so maybe one day ya'll will hear it!! Oh, and if anyone one knows how I can fix my blog, so you don't have to scroll all the way down to see my links and profile, that would great!

Heres the lyrics:

Bless The Broken Road
By Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes he did

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true
Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
YeahNow I'm just rolling home
Into my lovers armsThis much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I'm BACK!!!

2006-01-11T09:36:00.000-06:00

Oh, so you guys want a new post huh? lol ok. Well, not a whole lot is going on. I'm trying to get more hours at work. They only gave me 12 hours. Um, yeah...can't live on that. So I took 8 extra hours on from 2 other people so I can actually have a good check.
I am sssooo excited!!! Jan. 26- 29 I will be staying with my best friend AUTUMN!!! So exciting!!! Were going to a hotel in St. Cloud Friday, and then coming home Saturday and just stay home and mess around, and then leaving out Sunday! SO FUN!! I've on this diet, and i've been sssoo good!!! I've only lost a couple pounds, but hey, I feel good! Then i'm working out. I have my pedometer which counts my steps!! I walk 7 miles!!! Well, that was in 2 days, but hey! Its better then nothing!!
I had the BEST talk with Matthew yesturday. You know Matt Peter?? Yeah, haven't talked to him in forever, and I talked to him last night. Well, i've talked to him, but it was just chit chat.

Merry Christmas!!!

2005-12-22T18:22:00.000-06:00

Well, I work Christmas eve. So i'm actually going to have Christmas on Christmas. lol Ok...now let me explain. Ever since I can remember, we've had Christmas on Christmas eve because my whole family comes up Christmas Day, and we have Christmas with them. So because I work Christmas eve...we are actually going to have Christmas....on Christmas Day. YEEEHHHAAA!!!!!!!!!

Ok...Now I want to know what ya'll think. People tryin change Merry Christmas, to Happy Holiday. Callin the Christmas tree, the Holiday Tree. I mean come on. Seriously people. How many years have it been Merry CHRISTmas. Why you tryin to change it now. Yeah, you have freedom to speak your mind, but once your done doing that...SHUT UP!! I seriously don't want to hear it. I mean they try to take God out of pledge of alligence. Thats history. This country was built on that. But you know, this goverment is corupt, so I could see that going thru more then trying to change Christmas. I mean don't they reconized that Halloween is of the devil. Does that stop anybody?? You don't see anyone tryin to change that?? NO!

Ok, i'm gonna stop now. lol

Joey

ShortER Hair..and craby old men...lol

2005-12-09T11:42:00.000-06:00

Yup, thats right. I cut my hair AGAIN! But there the thing, everybody, and I mean everybody, has said it looks cute! Seriously, everybody at work has said something about it. About 70 % of them said I look better with short hair. I don't know tho. I kinda miss have long hair. But then again, short hair is easier to take care of. I'll try to get a picture on here so ya'll can see.

Ok, so I officaly hate my job. I got cused out yesturday. Talk about being scared. I knew it was coming though. See, the credit card machine decided that it was gonna work anymore, and this guy had no other form of money, so David(one of the mangers) had to restart the computers. Which takes a couple of minutes. Well, the guy behind the guy at my window, was freakin out. He was honking his horn, and it look like smoke was coming out his ears. lol So, I knew was we got it work, and the guy came up to my window he was gonna do something. And he did. Man, if he wasn't old, I bet he would of came thru the window if he knew his hip wouldn't break. I'm serious tho, this dude was crazy. What is with old people these days. They're mean and craby. UH!

Anyways, I gotta get working on my school, I go to work soon.

Joey

4:30 AM....Are you serious?!?!?!?

2005-12-05T14:18:00.000-06:00

Ok...heres the deal. I'm opening now at work. So now, I have to get up at 4:30 AM!!!!! I could not believe it. I open next Saturday too. Its crazy! I had fun tho, and hour of nobody there but three people!! We turn the radio up. (To what we wanted to here.) And had fun. I don't mind, but let me tell you, I was dead when I came home. I went to bed at 12:30. Woke up at 4:30. 4 hours sleep. Are you kidding me?!?!? I was half asleep the whole morning. But then by lunch time, it wasn't that bad. I was on side 2 making food. My times were 40 secs, and under, which was AWESOME because Tom was there. Hes the store superviser. Meaning hes over Mike, our General Manger. He hires the mangers! So, that was pretty awesome. Well, actually, the awesome part was, there was only 2 people on side 2 and 4 on side 1. And our times on side 2 were 10 times better then theirs. That was the awesome part!
We finally got our Christmas tree. NOT holiday tree, CHRISTMAS Tree! Yeah, there trying to change that now. GGRR. But its not decorated yet. I'm gonna do that tonight. While everyone is gone! Well, I gotta work to do.

God Bless,

JOEY

Hey ya'll-

Thanksgiving went alright. We volunteered at a community Thanksgiving. They had so many volunteers, that we really didn't do anything. But it was fun over all. Then I worked Friday 6- 2......ok...you will not believe what happened!!! Ok, I get there 15 min....to 6 am. 6 am rolls around, we un-lock the doors, and open drive thru, and I was put in 11....taking money and orders...like always.(wasn't there the whole day tho.) Anyways, 6 am LINE IN DRIVE!!!! It was crazy!!!! We were minus 12 the whole day, meaning, to how busy we are, we need so much staff. It was so busy....we were minus 12 people!!! I will never forget it! Then Saturday was pretty fun. I burned myself. Thats always fun. I was on side 2 with Mike(GM) which was fun, but he told me to go on grill to help get caught up, so I did, there was sssoo much grease on the grill when I cleaned and whole bunch of grease splashed on my arm, so I have a nice burn on my arm. I worked my butt off. So it was pretty fun. For awhile it was me, Eric, and Mike on side 2. But arm still hurts.

How was ya'lls Thanksgiving??

LET ME KNOW!!

JOEY

Ministers/Youth Convention

2005-11-01T23:54:00.000-06:00

PTL!! For all of you who do not what that stands for...it means "Praise The Lord." Ministers and Youth convenstion was awesome!! Bro. Sutton was our evangalist. Him and his wife plus tons of people from his church came up for it. We had a blast. Saturday night Bro. Sutton was sappose to preach and the Lord just took over and he wasn't able to...but that was ok. He got to preach Sunday which he preached an awesome messege. Then Sis. Jackie Hethershaw and Bro. Chris Cleaver who are recently called to preach, got to preach 15 min sermons. They did a really good job, and then my mom, Sis. Nowling, preached and did an awesome job. She preached it straight up! The main thing that we talked about was people who give "watered down" messeges, and my mom didn't have that at all. It was awesome.
Saturday night we had a bon-fire and us youth play hide and seek in the dark.

Then Friday, Bro. Lira preached, and he did a wonderful job. Bro. Aviles also preached and he also gave a straight up messge. Which is what we need these days. The time is coming soon and we need to get right! We can't be having "watered down" messege. It just ain't gonna work! LOL
All thru the convention the spirit was there, and it was an amazing feeling. As far as my experince...I got a great blessing. It is a wonderful feeling being around all of my friends who believe the same as I do. After working with the people I do...it was very refreshing. I had a great time with everyone!

Ya'll need to come to Wisconsin. We would welcome you with open arms and give you some Church of God hospitality!

Your Sister in Christ,

Joleesa Nowling

The Skit

2005-10-04T22:56:00.000-05:00

This is a skit I did. Brandon Hale was playing Jesus and Micah, Jackie and Addie were playing my heathen friends who wanted me to go to a party. Jesus kept fallowing me around. It was a powerful skit. You watch it and you say..."yeah it was a good skit." But when your in it, you relate it to your life, and it hit home for me.

Joey

2005-09-29T00:04:00.000-05:00

This is me and my bestest buddy in the whole wide world acting crazy at Youth Camp. We're insane when were together. lol Ain't that right Jackie? Those are our crazy hats. The one i'm wearing is Dustin Washburn's joker hat. I stole it from him. We had a blast!!

Joey
