On Monday the fam/jam and I went looking at houses, and I find out last night that we are more than likely and pretty much a sure thing we are putting our house up for sale. I am soo excited.

rainbows and sunshines..
wow. what a day i had yesterday. Traveling back to troy i got stuck in 65 traffic right around exit 246. You can imagine that I wasnt too thrilled about this. so im sick, not wanting to go back to school, tired, and irritated now that i am stuck in traffic. I get a call from the boyfriend. still not too thrilled. He tells me to look at the rainbow. Wow. It was sooo pretty and this picture does not do it justice. It made me realize that God was trying to talk to me. Although it may be stormy now, it cant rain forever and that Rainbow symbolizes that God for one isnt going to flood the earth again, and two, that he is there to calm the storm and with him all things are possible. I love how the little things can make the biggest difference!!! :)

Weathering Change..
The thing i hate to most about it becoming cold, is that when the weather changes, so does my immune system. gee it seems i always get sick. Yesterday i could feel it coming. Waking up at 3am hackin my lungs out gave me a clue that i was getting sick. So i awoke this morning with no way to breathe. my nose is stopped up and my throat kills to swallow. good ole sudafffffffffed didnt work. Then the mother decides that we still need to take a picture to send out to people for Christmas cards. I personally think we are too old to still take a sister pic and send it out. It just remindes others that Christa and I are still losers..haha oh well. well im going back to bed

But on the other hand, things with me and steeevo are great!! he really makes me happy which is good because I never thought I would get this way again. But im glad :)!! Im soooo ready for Christmas and Halloween was just yesterday.

time of my life
Soooo college is supposed to be the best time of your life.. well it started off rocky for the first 2 years, but now its absolutely everything i could have asked for. I have the best of friends, someone i enjoy spending time with, amazing family and i couldnt ask for a better life. God has truly blessed me in so many ways and i cannot thank him enough. Im finally in a place ive longed to be in for quite some time now. Im happy :) and in love with life. this song just makes me smile every time i hear it so id thought id share!!!
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn

wow..
So today is one of those days where im super stressed and cant seem to get a grasp on what i am supposed to be doing. i just want to cry. until i talk to someone who is always there for me and he reminds me to slow down and be still. then it hits me. oh course, cadie, why didnt i think of that. so i get in the middle of the sga office lay on the floor, close my eyes and blare this song just as we did at camp. it made me feel so much better, i also felt as if i was still at camp and that made me feel super!!! sometimes we need the simpliest reminders of things to get us back to where we are supposed to be. thanks!
Slow down, be still
Let go, we will
Be here, be now
Slow down, be still
Breathe in, refill
Be here, be now
If you choose to love
To know that the call
Is to give all you are
To give love away, away
Rise, rise, people of love rise
People of love rise, give yourself away
Rise, rise, people of love rise
People of love rise, give yourself away
Give yourself away, give yourself away
Slow down, just breathe
Be still, believe
Be here, be now
Slow down and see
It’s all you need
Be loved and free
And to hear the call, is to give your love away
And to hear the call, is to give your love away
And to hear the call, is to give your life away
Is to give your life away
We’re not safe, we’re not safe
But we will rise
(Rise~~~Robbie Seay)

a pace maker is for old people...
soooo i've had a very interresting week to say the least. so here it goes. Im in Troy gettin ready to move rooms in my house and mom and I go to the furniture store to get something for my room. I start to feel dizzy and sick to my stomach and all sweaty so i go outside to sit down. Im all light headed and not feeling to well. Mom comes out so i start to get up and walk to the car. The next thing I remember I am waking up in the hospital. so here is what happened in between my memories....
i walk to the car and step off the curb and apparently lost all color and fell flat on my face and passed out. mom said i was gone for about a min or so. She said I couldnt remember anything for about an hour, like that we had come to troy, where i was at, what happend or anything else. Some construction workers were in the parking lot and they called 911 and an ambulance came and took me to Troy's hospital. I wake up there and am in paaaaaiiin. my face hurt, but it would after be slammed into the pavement. well my heart rate is super low in the 30's and isnt good. i felt fine and thought i could go home. they wouldnt release me to go without being sent to Montgomery to talk with a cardiologist.
so I get transported via ambulance to the montgomery hospital, my heartrate still in the 30's and 40's, and talk to the cardiologist. She checks me out and gets a second opinion from another doctor and decides to wait til morning to do anything. All night long my heartrate still has done nothing. So 10 am Friday morning they decide to operate on me. i personally didnt think i needed one but i was forced to get a pacemaker put in.
Now the surgery is over and im home. i feel the same and still see no reason to have had a pacemaker put in. im a little sore but very thankful that I am alive and ok. God was looking after me that day because things could have been so much worse than they were. I am very lucky. I thank everyone who called and asked about me. i have the best friends and family in the entire world and i am very lucky to have them care about me so much. As for me, i am just taking it one day at a time. a very good friend of mine told me thats all i can do and not to worry about tomorow. God will handle all that. so for now i am doing well and ready to get 100%.
P. S.... rush starts this week and im super excited, scared because now i am Panhellenic President but excited to take on the challenge.
much love, p-slip!!

Post Pine Cove Towers!!
wow. I cant believe 7 weeks went by so fast. Pine Cove opened my eyes to many new things. I absolutely came home a changed person. God taught me so much in the short time I was there and I cannot thank him enough for his amazing blessings he has given me. The friends I made there complete me. I dont know what im going to do without them. good thing we have facebook lol. it feels so weird to be back home in Alabama. Texas was my home for so long i almost forgot about bama. i miss it sooo much. i cant wait til i move there, its going to be AMAZING. those kids there were so precious and i am so glad i got the opportunity to work there. its really depressing that im not there anymore. right now we would be in our sports clinic, well not me, i never liked soccer and somehow always migrated over to flag football. i love my football buddies. discrete, toast, and break it down. oh how i miss those guys. window, oooh oooh!! lol. its seriously a hard time to leave pc towers. it was my life for so long it felt like. i dont know what to do now. a little jeff johnson session will do me just fine. oh glorious day!!!!!! i cant wait!!!
peace, love, and pslip!
peace, love, and pslip!

Amazing Love
How Great is Our God! that songs just makes me think of how awesome a God I serve. He is absolutely wonderful and words just cannot describe how wonderful he is. How can you look at a beautiful sunset and not know there is a God. I wonder that all the time, how people can look at their kids, their family, and their life and not believe in such an amazing thing as God. Im thankful that I am forgiven and accepted for who I am. God blessed me with so much that I no where near deserved. His amazing love captured me and allowed me to be free. For that I am thankful and praise him.
I am at a loss for words.
"And we know that God causes everything to work out together for the good of those who love God adn are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

just some thoughts
I wonder how one minute your life could be absolutely amazing and being going so well, then the next its like how did this happen? I am so confused and lost about what im doing with my life and where i am supposed to be. My heart hurts and there isnt anything i can do about it. I know what i have to do and i try to everyday, but for some reason something brings me back. Ive given it to God so many times. What a wonderful God I serve. He loves me no matter how many times i screw up or how ever many times I take back part of my life which should be his. He knows me inside and out. How beautiful he is. Wow. I waste my time on the littliest details about my life.
I talked to my dad today and he says that God puts frustration in your life to make you who he wants you to be, stronger and more dependent on him. I know this is true, but i still cant seem to figure how to deal with things. I just wish I could get over him alredy and move on. Thats really what is keeping me back and I know it shouldnt. Hes moved on and i should too. I just cant help still being attached. He kinda made me part of who i am today. Im thankful for the time we spent together but there comes a time where you just have to give up, let go, and let God.
I've been real confused about God's purpose for my life but the other day before exams were out, me and Lindley(twin) were driving and it all of a sudden hit me. I was meant to be in Troy to meet her. Without her i dont know how i could have survived the last year. She is always there for me and I know that is one reason and one purpose for me being at Troy. I was just recently appointed Vice President of Panhellenic at Troy which entitles me to be there for another 2 years. I was plannin on leaving Troy bc i was so unhappy but i cant now. For some reason im supposed to still be there. I dont exactly know how or what God is wanting me to do there, but i know its something. Im praying for strength, light, and ability to get through my life down there. Its really hard but if he has a purpose for me down there then im going to fulfil it and do it with his strength.
.....in another light im starting to pack for texas and its all hitting me fast. 7 weeks. i cant wait to get out of Alabama. A new surrounding, new people, and a new adventure is just what i need to get my mind off of some things.
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, "Go throw yourself in the sea," and it will be done. If you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:21-22

Sitting, waiting, wishing
IM DONE!! I cant believe school is finally over, yay! 3.2 heck yeah baby!
I leave for Pine Cove in 10 days and cannot wait. Im so blessed to have an amazing opportunity like this. Im really excited! Anna and Jacob are also working there so we get to ride together to Texas. We'll be headed to the lake on Saturday(cant wait) and then headed out West the next day.
On a heavier note(pun intended) i have to pack. I am always an over packer and I dont think it would be wise for me to pack so much. I mean its only 7 weeks, but then again its me. I went to New York for 4 days and brought 1 big suticase, backpack, and a duffle bag. Geese, can you say prima donna! just kidding. Ill just have to accomodate bc we have to move to a different cabin every week, and WE have to move our own stuff.
Im getting really anxious and nervous at the same time. Ive never been to Texas before, well besides the airports, but i hear its really nice. I wish I could make a trip to Austin, but thats 4 hrs away from Tyler. Maybe some other time. I just want this to be an amazing expereince and I know it will be. Im so ready for God to use me. Kids are my passion and I am so thankful that he has allowed me this experience to show his love. He is amazing!
