Surviving the Fair Point Guy

Yesterday I had the scariest experience of my life thus far.  The Fair Point Guy.   Though, in my own defense, I had NO idea it was him... in my imagination he was some big burly man with a knife, a gun, a machete, and an intent to kill.  Who knew he was some big teddy bear type of guy with a modem, (not a motive) a tool kit (not a machete) and some wires (definitely not for strangling.)

It all started at 2:27pm. I was home alone, (in the middle of no where mind you) sitting on the couch, when my phone rang. I answered & experienced the creepiest and most irrational phone call I've heard, when all of a sudden my other ear picked up on footsteps coming from outside on the porch. I realized the window shades were up & whoever it was could see in if they moved a few feet over. As the knocks on the door began, and as the person (still being creepy) on the phone kept talking, I slowly moved to the kitchen, out of view of the "killer on the porch".  After hanging up on the creepy caller, I started to focus more on the fact that the person on the porch was now walking back and forth across it, only to stop at the door and knock for the second time. A total of 6 knocks. (yes, I counted.. ) After getting off the phone with the police, I sat there crying (silently of course lest the "killer" hear me and know that someone was home...though I'm sure the tv on didn't give it away at all...).    I eventually didn't hear anything from outside anymore, but there I sat still, not moving an inch.  After a few minutes of silence I hear the police holler out to me, and I crawled from my place to open the door.  As soon as they entered I felt SO safe, and SO secure, I knew everything was alright.

Turns out, it was a prank phone call at 2:27pm, and the Fair Point Guy coming to check my internet at 2:30pm.  Bad timing dude. Real bad timing.


After going to a bible study last night, after all these scary events occurred, I got spoken to in such a real way.   We were talking about Peace, and the definition I looked up and found was "A State of Security".   When that police man came to my rescue, I felt a state of security. I was at peace.   When God comes to my rescue (every single moment of every single day) I feel a state of security.  I should be feeling at peace every day, because I trust in God and HE is my security, my state of refuge, my deep down peace.   I have to let Him "walk in the door & handle the situation" like the police man did, and I have to let Him "do His job" in securing me and giving me peace.

P.s.  Beware the Fair Point Guy.

A Mournful Heart - 12/14/2012

Tonight, my heart is heavy. These past few days, my heart has cried. It has cried out in response to the tragedy in Connecticut. It has cried out in hopes that they would find your peace, your restoration, your comfort. 

  Look in those eyes. What evil has overtaken our world. Oh Lord, come back quickly. 

Genesis 6:5 (NASB) - Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

OH LORD, please give these poor families your peace Father, reveal yourself to them in such a way that they can't ignore. Help them, because it is a time where this loss is so keenly felt that much more, it being Christmastime.  Who should decide who shall live, and who shall die, but God?  It was not that wicked man's right to decide. Yet, he did. 

Wickedness is increasing. Christians, use your weapon! Pray! Pray without ceasing. This world needs your prayers. It's a powerful thing, and we don't use it as often as we should. Pray especially for the families of the children who lost their lives.

Don't forget who made us, He is more powerful than the ruler of this world. Amen? 

God bless, and blog soon. 

Best (Foot?) Forward pt. 2

Hey guys! So some people thought my last post to not be very "concise" and so here I am (2 times in one day..I KNOW RIGHT?!)  to clarify.


The worlds message today to young & older girls alike is (for the majority) to use their beauty and body to get them where they want to be in life. (i.e. successful  & recognized).  I on the other hand think that ladies do NOT need to use their physical appearance to be successful in the world we live in. (Nor do we have to adjust our appearance to seem "better" or "prettier" or more "enhanced")
 Do I think we should shower and brush our teeth (please do both..regularly...) and do our hair and wear nice things if possible? Yes. Sure. I encourage it.   I love to dress up, and do my hair, and wear make-up.   But do I think we should allow it to define who we are? Nope.    I think it's sad that so many girls (myself included at times) fall for the lie that in order to have what we want in life, whether it's a career or a person, we must use our looks & our body to obtain those things.   It's degrading, and down right disrespectful and I personally would like to have a bit more respect than that for myself.  You and I do not need to use our outward appearance to go far in life.  We have brains for that.
How's that for a thesis?


Just so we're clear..... please shower.

Put Your Best (Foot?) Forward

Today I was reading a blog about blogging (ironic) and I was disgusted to read: If you’re an attractive woman, work your most prominent physical characteristic into the blog (extra points if it’s a pictorial reference)   

Excuse ME?! 


So you're really suggesting to me that the more I use my physical features to make my point the more I will attain readers & followers? Unfortunately, that's exactly what he was suggesting. No wonder so many girls and women of today are caught up in their looks, and how to always improve them. Much of the worlds message revolves around how to improve self, and how to become a better you.  Well I hate to break it to you, but most of the time they're not talking about our brains ladies!!   Sad, but true. I couldn't believe I read that sentence in that blog; (note: it was a man's blog!) To me, that'd degrading. Saying that we can't use our BRAINS and TALENTS to be interesting... no, we have to use our bodies, our physical appearance to gain interest??   I don't think so!!


Now, I'm not all "Women, lets band together & be independent".  But I am all "Ladies, don't listen to that lie".  

Because that's what it is.  A lie.  I have fallen for that over and over but NOT AGAIN.  I'm not falling for the lie that in order to gain respect and interest I have to use my physical appearance.  

Are you going to fall for that??   How far will you go ^^^ to fit in with this statement and gain this world's "respect"?

And for the guys....... are you going to follow after this man's example and show us that we have to "work our most prominent physical features" to be recognized or are you going to be different and be the man we need. The man who recognizes things beyond the outward. The man who doesn't base his opinion on what (and how much) he can see.  

Well, that's my rant. What is YOUR opinion on this??  Guys, Gals, write in & let me know!  Have you been told the same things? What did you do about it?  Guys, have you shown women that their bodies are the key focus? Or have you been above the world's mold, and treated women as people rather than possession?  I'd love to hear from you so GOGOGO it's opinion time!!!
