MICHAEL JACKSON 1958 – 2009

July 2, 2009 at 9:01 am (christianity)

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson.
Produced by Michael Jackson.

Have you seen my Childhood?
I’m searching for the world that I come from
‘Cause I’ve been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart…
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities…
‘Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me…

People say I’m not okay
‘Cause I love such elementary things…
It’s been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I’ve never known…

Have you seen my Childhood?
I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne…

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

People say I’m strange that way
‘Cause I love such elementary things,
It’s been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood (Childhood) I’ve never known…

Have you seen my Childhood?
I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
But the dreams I would dare, watch me fly…

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I’ve had

Have you seen my Childhood….

IT HAS BEEN WAYYYY TO LONG, I KNOW

I know its been a while. But lots of things have happened.

First the indiscretions of my husband, than i was diagnosed ill.

So hubby and I are doing good.

Still working for Dishnetwork and loving it. I think my personality is a “helper” I love helping people. I love trying to figure out what their problem is and fixing it. For once in my life i think I am at the right job. And only with God I got this job, cause after all He is the only one who knows what is right for me.

We work lots of overtime, and this is not really my cup of tea, but I still love it. One day I know i will get a better shift. Since I work there I havent been to Church whatsoever, and I do miss it, especially all my friends at Church :(

But Emanual “HE is with us” and He is with me, I know this because without Him I wouldnt be able to do all this.

So several weeks back , I started getting really bad stomach pain. After a couple of weeks it got so bad, I could hardly sleep, sit, stand or eat.
One day I finally went to t a doctor and was told I have stomach ulcers.
So they put me on meds of course, and who knew….I am allergic to most of them.
I am constantly getting more sick. The pain is better, but the side effects are bad.

Since about 4 weeks I am on/off working. Sometimes I make it through the day , sometimes I dont and have to leave.
Praise the Lord though that my employer is understanding so far. Also was diagniosed with high bloodpressure too. They checked my BP at work and it was at 170/101. So they called an ambulance and off I went to the hospital. Only that the doc at the hosp[ital told me I have anxiety.

The next day my doctor called me and i had to be in her office immediatly. At that time my BP was 180/110. She said it is not an anxiety attacke it is dangerous and I need to be on meds for it. So on a new med we got and continue to stay on it.

And so I am hanging in there, and hopefully these ulcers will heal.
If they wont heal shortly she wants me to get an endoscopy done. And that ’s what I dont want. I am not in the business of swallowing pipes and such!

Ok, the other  news are……………

I wanted a dog for a long time now. Husband constantly against it. I keep telling him he dont have to care for the dog ,I will care for it.
He said ” I will be very disappointed if you bring a dog home”
Well, what can I say…………..I GOT A DOG!

Today I went to the SPCA and got me a dog. Doctor thinks it is a wonderful idea since I need to walk. SO I have a walking partner now.

And about Husband’s disappointment…………WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL…can you imagine how disappointed Iw as when he went out with other women???
There you go!

Wanna see a pic?????

 

May I introduce…………. TESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TESS 1st DAY

TESS 1st DAY

I went to the SPCA and found her, she is a standard Schnauzer mix ( I think it is CHOW CHOW in her) I can tell by the tongue and the tail. Her weight is 63 pounds. She is housebroken, well tempered. Looks like a big old teddybear. And yes she is 8 years old. Nobody wanted to adopt her. But I fell in love with her when I saw her!!!

 

So Husband got up this evening for work and he dont seem to be disappointed I think ?!
Who know’s
The only comment he made was ” She got a few month’s left” I said well a few years more like it.

You probably want to know about my son?
WEll he is the same old son I had a year ago..lol
He has another child, is not together with the mother of the child. I havent even seen a picture yet. And at this time…I dont know where he is at or what he is doing. Haven’t heard from him in a couple month’s

Also my other grandchild “Hunter”, I havent seen him sionce august last year. I still have the christmas toys here I bought him. The Mother says, she is never off when I am off. But she also told me that she got married and that her Husband adopted the little one. Which I think is wonderful. And I do understand if perhaps her husband does not like if she spends time with me. So I let it rest and wait. I called her and left her a message “I do understand if this is the case that your husband dont want you to have contact with me bcause of my son, but I would appreciate at least a call, a confirmation, something. I am always here for you and Hunter, you got my number. Love you both”

Thats all I can do I guess ?!

Thats all folks!!!!!!!!

May God be with you all and bless you richly

Love and Blessings

You want the REAL story??..Here it is…

December 29, 2008 at 9:44 pm (Bible, Biblestudy, Carepages.com, Faith, Father God, Friends, GI-tract, GLory, God, Grace, HPS, Hymns, Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord, Mercy, Physicians, Prayer, Presbyterian, Religion, Salvation, Wintley Phipps, armed forces, atheism, atheist, book, books, child support, christian living, christianity, cities, court, deadbeat dads, devotionals, diets, discernment, discipleship, end times, eternity, evangelism, fellowship, forgiveness, free books, free cd's, free dvd's, grandkids, holy bible, homestead, law, lawyer, military, ministry, peace, pentecost, prayer, thoughts, faith, friends, reading, research, saints, sanctification, scams, schemes, scripture, sleeping, spirituality, toddlers, tribulations, walk with god, weightloss)

Well, I am not feeling good.  Actually I am feeling…….very much alone right now!

 

It began about 6 weeks ago…………..

my husband for no reason announced to me that even after a year and a half he can not use the cellphone to do a text message. At that I laughed. He stated he can only reply to those messages.

I never thought anything about it.

Oh he also left his cel phone always in the Den when he went to bed so the phone could recharge. But suddenly he takes the phone with him to bed. His explanation….He needs to know the time when he wakes up!

OF COURSE, I believed it!

Than about two weeks later, I called my cell provider to lower my bill.
The lady asked me if I would like unlimited text messaging? I said “yeah! I need that because I do text a lot”. She replied “well, for your phone you really dont need it, but for your husbands line you do!”
I told her it must of been a mistake my husband dont even know how to text. She explained that my husband has about tripple the text messages than I.
Of course that evening I asked him about it. He played it down, and said “You know the guys at work they send jokes and we send them back and forth and forward”
ME…of course believed it!!!

Why wouldnt I ????

Anyways, about December 22nd, early morning, my husband gets off work and where does he go….straight home RIGHT!!
No, I wake up, and he isnt home. Of course I call him on HIS cellphone. HE telling me he is on his way home, I said well it is 6am, shouldnt you be here?

He telling me “well the guys from work, we went to Denny’s after work”
Ok, for some odd reason I pulled up his bank account, and low and behold he spent 23.00 dollars at Denny’s. Of course he telling me he invited a old man that works with him. ISNT HE KIND?????

Alright, I OF COURSE believed every word he said!!!

There was however a charge for a toy from a store in Roanoke. There also was a 16.00 dollar charge for a christmas card. 16.00 dollars. WOW ONE CARD?? I don’t think so. But ok!

Now here we go, are you ready…………………….

This morning I wake up at 10:00am…………….GUESS WHAT????????????????

He is not at home.
I call him, ” Iam on the way” he replied. Ok, but where are you coming from??? From work??
“No, me and THE GUYS, went to Denny’s!”
I went to the bank account and again, he spend 23.79 dollar.
I ask him ” Invited someone?” “yes, a coworker, who didnt have any money”

Uh huh…….I waited till he was in bed, and I couldnt hold myself back, I snooped through his truck! YES I DID!!!!!

And yes, I found phone number’s from a couple women, a Sticker from a Floral Bouquet, price still on there,…..BUT….I never received any flowers….hmmmm

So I called my cell phone provider and asked them to send me a detailed phone bill. And they did! Right in my mailbox.

And there was ONE number that keeps coming up and up and up……..and YES I called that number, and a woman answers. I hung up!

Oh I tried the other number too, and YES another woman answers, and I hung up.

But this one number is the one. She texts him and he texts her. It starts at about 6pm EVERY evening, and it goes back and forth every few minutes until about 9pm…thats when he has to work…..than it continues right after work until about 11:00am or 12 noon. EVERY DAY!
There are hundreds of text messages between them two since november.

But surprisingly, the days he was at Denny’s, there was no texting from the time he left work till he got home.
Now, isnt that suspicious??
Is this all in my mind???

You think I should ask him???

Oh, I already did, and guess what?

It is all in my mind, I am crazy, I should stay out of his personal bank account.

Yeah thats where I am at.

by the way did I mention that my husband cheated on me the same way from 1996-97 to about 1999, thats when I left him.

When we got back together he said “I would never do that to you ever again”

RIGHT!

I am sick to my stomach, I couldnt stay at work, I had to go home. I wanted to REALLY confront him. But I didnt. Oh, he had to leave early tonight too. He usually leaves at about 8:30pm. Tonight he went in early at 7pm

Yet still and espcially now, I praise God. I know He loves me, He will take care of me, He will guide me, He will work this out. All praises to Him from whom all Blessings flow

What’s going on with Andrea ???

December 28, 2008 at 11:32 am (Bible, Biblestudy, Carepages.com, Faith, Father God, Friends, GI-tract, GLory, God, Grace, HPS, Hymns, Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord, Mercy, Physicians, Prayer, Presbyterian, Religion, Salvation, Wintley Phipps, armed forces, atheism, atheist, book, books, child support, christian living, christianity, cities, court, deadbeat dads, devotionals, diets, discernment, discipleship, end times, eternity, evangelism, fellowship, forgiveness, free books, free cd's, free dvd's, grandkids, holy bible, homestead, law, lawyer, military, ministry, peace, pentecost, prayer, thoughts, faith, friends, reading, research, saints, sanctification, scams, schemes, scripture, sleeping, spirituality, toddlers, tribulations, walk with god, weightloss)

It has been a long time since I posted.
The year went by so quickly it makes my head spin. I did not feel old until this year!
Constantly I am tired and wore out.

I left Wal-Mart in the middle of March this year, and moved on to a different position with Dishnetwork. I did not know that a sitting down job really gets me at the core.
No no, I love it, but it is very demanding. My body does not move (thats not a good thing when your a heavy person) but my brain runs a marathon every day.

Every single day I learn something new. Every call is a new challenge!

But guess what???

I LOVE IT!

The only downside on this job is….

I haven’t been in Church since August, the last time I set foot in our Church was on August 10th. At first it was that I was on a shift where I got home between 2:30am and 3:30am, than there was the hope of getting a new shift since we had shiftbids coming up in October.
Well October came it we didnt get a single bid.
I did however get a new shift on December 13th. Unfortunately it wasnt what I wanted. Now my shift is from 2pm to 11pm. But I have to work Sundays. And on Sundays we have to come in earlier. So again I am waiting for another shiftbid.

But with God all things are possible, I just have to wait for His timing and everything will be ok.

Currently I am fighting a bronchitis, but I am over the worsest part of it I think. Fever is gone, just losing my voice here and there.

My son came back home for a little while and now a week ago moved out and found a place to live in the city. He also got himself a job starting the 1st of the year with the Roanoke Hospital as a assistant manager in there cafeteria.
I am very happy for him!
The only thing I do not like is that he tries so hard to talk me into talking to his wife. Yes they are really married, and she is pregnant. He says his wish would be that I talk to her and forgive her for what she done. I already forgave her but that does not mean that I have to go down the same road again.
I keep telling him give it time, time heals all things, and when God wants me to have contact with my daughter-inlaw it’ll happen sometime.

My husband is doing real well since the surgery. And praise God that neither his or my company are planning on any lay-offs.
I think even if people lose their jobs they still want to watch tv (perhaps even more) and people also trying to fix their cars themselfs or buy parts to let someone fix it for them. For now we are in good shape!
My Mom is sill very very ill! She cant beat this throat cancer thing. I havent heard my Mom’s voice in about a year or longer, and it is sad. I miss her voice, since that was the only thing I had since I live in the States.

My grandbaby is doing real well and he is turning 2 on December 30th. I havent seen him since August neither because of his mom’s and my work schedule it just doesnt work out for us to get together. But we are planning to meet January 1st before I go to work!

I am still so happy about our home, but we have issues with the fireplace. Smoke keeps rolling in even with little wind outside. I ordered a smoke guard that should help but what we really need is a chimney cap and neither me or hubby knows anything about installing such a thing. We have no clue!!!
My Chimney on top of the roof that part is totally open, and any little wind goes right down to the fireplace. Many times we had super smoke in the house because of that.
Also we had lots of issues with wood. The first guy was very expansive the second guy sold us rotten wood that wouldnt burn but more likely melted. And it was light as styrofoam.
Now we finally found a guy that delivers better wood but it is all hardwood and it takes a long time to get a good fire going.

So guy’s you have a update now. I will post again as soon as I can.
I always think of you all and especially of the friends and family of my Church. I miss out on so much I know.

Keep God first !
Love and Blessings

Surgery went well….

November 14, 2008 at 1:12 am (christianity)

Just wanted to drop a quick note to all who asked and called…

Michael made it through Surgery ok…
it was scheduled at 8am this morning, but he didnt get in until noon. The Surgeon told us the Surgery will take 1 hour, but it took three hours because of some complications.
Michael’s veins are not that great and the were busting one after another, so therefore it took much longer than expected.
Also because of the busting and bleeding, he wasnt released two hours afterwards but 6 hours later. He had to stay and was actually admitted into a room. He had to lay flat on his back and wasnt aloud to lift his head.
We left this morning at 7am the house (I had one and a half hour of sleep) and we got back home shortly before 11pm. PHEWWW

He is in pain right now, but he took some pills and finally went to Bed now.

Tomorrow I will call the doctor and check when he has to come back for checking of the opening and whatever else we need to know.

He is doing well…Praise the Lord!

So thats it I need to go get some Zzzzzzzzz myself now :)

Love Andrea

VOTE FOR THE CHANGE !

November 2, 2008 at 2:30 pm (Bible, Biblestudy, Carepages.com, Faith, Father God, Friends, GI-tract, GLory, God, Grace, HPS, Hymns, Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord, Mercy, Physicians, Prayer, Presbyterian, Religion, Salvation, Wintley Phipps, armed forces, atheism, atheist, book, books, child support, christian living, christianity, cities, court, deadbeat dads, devotionals, diets, discernment, discipleship, end times, eternity, evangelism, fellowship, forgiveness, free books, free cd's, free dvd's, grandkids, holy bible, homestead, law, lawyer, military, ministry, peace, pentecost, prayer, thoughts, faith, friends, reading, research, saints, sanctification, scams, schemes, scripture, sleeping, spirituality, toddlers, tribulations, walk with god, weightloss)

I got only one thing to say…………

God gave Adam and Eve free choice in the Garden of Eden. The only thing he told them was…”Do not eat from the Apple tree”
Nevertheless he gave them free choice!

I am pro-life, I do not believe in abortion, just to name this two.
But I do believe in free choice.
If you as a Christian believe that we each will be judged by the Lord when our day comes, that we will be judged as we judged people. Than you should sit back and think about.

 

McCain and company try to act like the Obama/Biden ticket is for abortion, against pro-life, etc.,which they are not.
They each have their own opinion, but they don’t force that opinion down my throat.

They let YOU make the choice if you in a situation to chose either good or evil.
And that’s how it should be!

Well that is just my little two cents on this.

If I could vote, I would vote for Obama/Biden, sadly I cant(not a citizen yet). But I dont miss a chance to talk about it anytime I can. And I truly believe that he will win.

I pray that our Lord’s Will will be done in this election!

 

I always was and always will be for FREE CHOICE. You choose and you live with that decision you make!

 

VOTE FOR CHANGE WE CAN ALL LIVE WITH

 

OBAMA / BIDEN

Just another day in my Life

September 16, 2008 at 12:40 pm (Bible, Biblestudy, Carepages.com, Faith, Father God, Friends, GI-tract, GLory, God, Grace, HPS, Hymns, Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord, Mercy, Physicians, Prayer, Presbyterian, Religion, Salvation, Wintley Phipps, armed forces, atheism, atheist, book, books, child support, christian living, christianity, cities, court, deadbeat dads, devotionals, diets, discernment, discipleship, end times, eternity, evangelism, fellowship, forgiveness, free books, free cd's, free dvd's, grandkids, holy bible, homestead, law, lawyer, military, ministry, peace, pentecost, prayer, thoughts, faith, friends, reading, research, saints, sanctification, scams, schemes, scripture, sleeping, spirituality, toddlers, tribulations, walk with god, weightloss)

It is a gray day today, but I am thankful for the cooldown, I am thankful especially for the humidity to go away. I don’t know what it is but when there is high hunidity and heat, my anles swell to elephant size.
And right now I look down at my feet and ankles and they are actually in regular shape and size again!!!

My husband is asleep, re-energizing for another worknight. He looks so sweet when he is asleep, but he is as sweet when he is awake.
Since I got him that BBQ grill in July, every Friday and Saturday I come home late late at night and I drive into the driveway and he opens the garage door for me. Yes he does, because I don’t have to walk another 50 ft to the front door and walk up a few steps, he just opens the garage door and let me in. It seems like nothing to anyone, but it means a lot to me!
Than I smell the aroma from something being bbq’ed.
He can make some out of this world bbq’ed chicken. I never ate a better chicken like that. I told him he is a “mean” BBQ’er!
He is so in love with his Grill, and his Lawnmower, and his Weedeater, I suggested “How about I get you a coffeemaker?” He said “WHY?” “I don’t like coffee!” I stated “Well, I love it, and perhaps I can come home to fresh brewed coffee!!!”
He was laughing so hard about that.

He said ” No, it will pass with the BBQing, it just because it is new, and you know how I am with new toys!”
Thats true but I do’t want it topass, it is so comforting to come home, and you smell this aroma of BBQ’ed chicken or whatever he puts on the grill.

Mentally I am exhausted at this time. We work six days a week, and it take its toll on my brain..lol
It isnt only that I am still learning, it is also what kind of people call in with all kinds of problems. Some people cant read, and you have to help them to explain to me whats wrong or what message they see on their tv-set. Other’s are so mad, they cant stop cursing at me, and sometimes it is so bad I have to put them on hold and ask them to calm down.
yet others, can read, are not cursing, but they not capable of maneuvering with the remote to my instructions.
At times it is hillarious, other times it isn’t. It is frustrating!
So after 6 days of this, you are burned out!!!

Than there is of course my son and his text messages and calls. I spoke to him this morning, and made it perfectly clear that he can not stay with us.
I told him to either seek shelter at one of Roanoke’s shelter’s or to rent a room by the week. He agreed to doing this. I advised him to get a job and rent a room and if he needs food I wont deny it. If he needs laundry done, he can come by and do it. But under no circumstances can he stay with us!

Than we have this stinkbug invasion. I mean this critters are everywhere on the outside of the house, and some of them make it inside. My husband and I are disgusted by those bugs. I looked through the internet to find a repellent, I tried roach spray ( I believe whatever can kill a roach, will kill anything else too!) WRONG!!!!
You have to soak those suckers with roachspray before they actually die.
I called an exterminator service and they told me, there is nothing that will keep them away, the only they can do is kill em, but others will come back the same day.  We can send man on the moon, but we can not take care of bugs. Hmmmmm

Yep, thats all whats going on in my life right now.
Now I sign off, and get ready for work yet again :)

Love you all
God Bless you

Andrea
