Today at work I found out that it was just going to be me and Brian working. I'll be honest I do NOT like this guy at all. He's just so slow, he doesn't get half the work done, he gets in my way, he annoys the crap outta me and yet all he needs is a little encouragement. Rather than getting upset because I was working with him, unknowingly I accepted HIM for who HE was. So he works a little slower than others, he doesn't have the greatest 'drive' so to speak. But he is human too.
Although we were slow today I really worked with him rather than against him with the attitude GET OUT OF MY WAY! I noticed how he lightened up he didn't seem quite on edge. Grant it he still needs a shove every now and then but with a different attitude from me. Through out the day I continued to tell him good job Brian keep it up dude. I could see him smile from the corner of my eyes. We worked together and got the job done. Finally he was happy to be at work. Approaching him with a positive attitude and feedback really changed his attitude as well. Rather than me have the attitude of GET OUT OF MY WAY, and he just not care about his job and find the fastest exit out.
I realized half way through my day that my parents do the same with me. Rather than telling me what to do or what not to do. They suggest and offer their opinion, still leaving me in charge to make up my own mind. When things turn out good I know I make them proud, when they turn out not so good...well I learn from my mistake. They don't tear me down and make me feel bad they simply point out what I could have done differently. Whether it be our parents or co-workers or just the driver in front of us that may be moving a little too slow. Take the time to slow down and think of what that person may be going through in their personal life. Positive Attitudes have Positive Outcomes and Negative Attitudes have Negative Outcomes. The choice is yours, what will you choose to do today?

God knew
Oh how I longed for this bond
So easily we became fond.
God knew what he was doing
Haha who was I fooling?
The voice that is always so soothing.
The two that inspire to get me moving.
The way he expresses his love to me.
Oh yeah, God destined it to be.
Coincidence some will forever say,
But God's evidence be revealed day by day.
To Him be all the honor and glory,
For He is the author of my great story.

We're Gonna Shine
In my world the sun doesn't always shine.
But it's ok because till the end of time,
You shall always and forever be mine.
With God our marriage shall reamin prime.
Things aren't always going to be easy.
My faith assures me we will be just fine.
Though the skies go gray and things get breezy,
God will open the doors and show us a sign.
So hang in there a little while longer,
kick back, relax and lets dine
As our love grows stronger,
God in us will make our world shine.

Here I am all things gone a strange.
You'll find me down on my Knees,
In faithful prayer for much needed change.
Dear God please hear my honest, sincere plee.
Again I find heartache and pain,
Where oh Lord did I go wrong?
Stranded in guilt from that done in vain.
Now in search of my long lost lifesong.
You dear God are my laminin,
You rescue me from life's greatest famine.
All praise be unto you,
I pray you see me through.
I can't do this alone now I see.
Who was I pretending to be?
I need you to take me by the hand,
Now is the time to take a stand.
I know I've said this many times before.
Sincere this time I say there'll be no more.
Give me this final last chance,
In the end before you, I shall do a victory praise dance.
This is not just words nicely layored,
Rather indeed my faithful prayer.

Happy Anniversary
Across the miles of Minnesota and Tennessee,
Our love was so clear to see.
Oh God, I pray how can this be
Mike, my love for you sets me free.
Through the joy and tears
We made it through our first year!
Against adversity we took a stand
Step by step and hand in hand.
How I love our walks in the park
And the nights we stayed up way past dark.
Memories I will never forget,
Choices I will never regret.
I love you what more can I say
It grows stronger day by day.
I love you Michael Thomas Pike,
I will always and forever be your Mrs. Pike.

Oh Christmas Tree--Remix!
Alisha, Alisha out of all she's most lovely.
Each day you bring to me delight,
Making all your subs just right.

How big art thou britches,

Slacking I'll say no, no.

Just to bug you this I'll say
Alisha, Alisha out of all she's most lovely!

Guess what this blog is about...that's right family! Sorry but family is really important to me and I know I talk a lot about it. So if I make you sick by talking about my family and such so much please feel free to click that little red box with the white x in it at the top right hand of your screen. =)
So last night I talked to my sister Jennifer for a while. Something we really don't do that often without it being through mom or something lol. I really enjoyed our talk...for the most part. We talked about a few things in my life...mostly about leadership. I couldn't believe my sister said a couple things she did, but I know she is right. It's not the first time I've heard it so it's just confirmation to me. 10 years now maybe I should stop running huh? I also talked to her about some stuff in her life. Which I felt at first sort of odd...but it felt good. I actually felt like a big sister. Not trying to ruin my little sisters life, rather just guide her and inform her of different options.
Later my mom called and we talked for a while. She told me some things I really needed to hear about this family thing. Things like how her and dad are proud of me and proud to have me in the family and they tell everyone. I am sure we won't be strangers in TX by time we get there lol. Dad was in the background and told me some stuff that was all sweet and made me feel WOW maybe they really do know how I feel I swear parents have a way of reading your mind. The one thing that really stuck out is when dad called me "daddy's little girl".
Daddy's little Girl is code word between me and God. He told me a few years ago that He would send me a family in His timing, but at the time He wanted me for himself to guide me and prepare me for this moment now. I was God's daddy little girl for a long time and will continue to be so; but now he's giving me an earthly dad to be a 'little girl' to. Over the years so many have tried taken me in and such things, and I am thankful for that I've learned a lot over the years. But NEVER has anyone yet to say Daddy's Little Girl until this moment.
Last night I cried while going to sleep. Instead of tears of sadness and broken hearted, it was tears of joy. Laying beside me was a man that loves me more than I could ever dream of that is always there for me to help me and encourage me. Also, a 1,185 miles away I had a family that loves me and cares for me and are sent from God himself. So although things get tough and the sun isn't always shining in my world, God is always smiling down on me and I always have a constant reminder of how truly blessed I am.
