She's Sun and Rain

1. I get food stuck in my teeth. 2. I like things clean, however, at some points, I may have clothes on my floor or bills on my dresser. 3. I had two dad's named Barry. 4. My real dad named Barry was an alcocholic and cocaine addict who when I was 11 rededicated his life to the Lord and lived the last 12 years of his life like every day was going to be his last telling people about Jesus. He is my hero. 5. I like macaroni and cheese. Alot. (I dated someone once who hated cheese and this was a problem). 6. My mom doesn't like social gatherings all that much, but is super nice. And beautiful. 7. My stepdad repeats himself all the time - he says things like "I'm fine, hope you are" and he is way too sarcastic.

Is that God is in control. He sees life from beginning to end, like a blimp that flies over a parade. He knows not to let me do what I want or think might be right at that moment...and he knows what is best for me, better than I do. He wants to say 'yes' to me, and does say yes to me because he wants me to be what he made me. He loves me unconditionally and holds me in his arms at all times. He forgives me for my sins and never ever changes. That has got to be the coolest thing about life.
