Creepy Drunk Guy

So there I was...
Sitting in the office at the Ballconference Center making sure the people at the reception didn't burn down the building. It was a little slower than usual, the wedding party was gone but the mom and friends had been cleaning up for about an hour. I stepped out of the office to make sure that everything was going well. The door was barely open.
Next thing I know a guy walked in asking me my name and began to nearly close the door behind him. My heart began to race and my eyes got really big. He asked me if I owned the building and told him that I was running it for the evening. He asked me my name and number and I told him my name and gave him Michaels (the managers card). He said "Good. Thanks. You'll be hearing from me." As he was walking out he said "Your name should be bunny" What really bunny come on. I then at that point realized this guy was really drunk, and that was the same guy that the bartender was giving vodka shots to. I told him I liked my name and asked what kind of name would bunny be for a human. He said "Why wouldn't you want your name to be bunny? Bunny's are furry." I said your drunk go now. "No I am not drunk." "Ok, then. Your hitting on me." He went on to say that yes he was and a few choice words that I have chosen to forgotten, and then I told him to get out. That he needed to go have fun somewhere else. He was not a happy camper. Creeeeepy!
A few seconds after the creeper left I went and locked the door. Everytime I come back in I lock the door behind me. I am still not quite at ease. Well I will definately be calling my mom on my way to my car tonight. I have never been that creeped out ever. I had a drunk guy come and talk to me one night but it wasn't the same way. And that dude got the clue I wasn't interested.

I am so glad that I have chosen to stay away from that part of the world. I don't know if he would have done anything if I had been in another situation, but by golly I don't want to ever give anyone the chance. Thank you Lord for protecting me, keeping me calm and giving me the words to say to get him out of here.

Christmas is coming!

So...I have a plan whether or not I will actually do it, I have it all planned. I am 25, officially an adult and responsible, or at least that is what my insurance company thinks!! So I thought this year might be a good year to send out Christmas cards.



I have always wanted to send out the picture ones, so I have hired one of the girls in the youth group to take a few pictures of me and the dog. Wont that be fun!!!? I can't wait. Now to get it all implemented and do it.


Just imagine GREAT pictures like this on your door step near Christmas!! (professionally done of course!) You would never have to miss my face. All you would need to do is look at your refrigerator! Just kidding but it would be fun to send for my first Christmas cards ever.

Let me know if you want a Christmas card!






These were done by me using my phone. No good, but fun anyways!

Blessed is the name of the Lord

About a week ago I was reading preparing for a bible study on Thursday nights. Thursday is the dog agility class but I had just gotten back from Las Vegas so Kayle was still with her Aunt Katie. So I went to bible study. Oh how much I miss bible study with Charlotte. God has given her a great about of wisdom. I can only hope that I will be obedient to the Lord enough to become the woman of God He wants me to be.
Well about this bible study I knew I was going to go when the class was over so I went and got all the material from Char so I could be on the same page as the other women when I was able to start up. Char said "Jannie, there is homework you understand that...right?" "Yeah, it will be good. It will keep me accountable", is what I said, or so I had hoped. Well I will say I have not been a good steward of the time the Lord has given to me. The day of the study I skimmed through Job and answered the questions in the beginning and a few at the end. Just enough to make someone think I did something. I really wish I wasn't being lazy, because what I learned that night was great, and imagine what the Lord could have shown me if I would have read the entire book and answered all the questions on my own.
That night the Lord reiterated a lot of things I knew, but needing a reminder of. God allowed Satan to take a lot from Job, but that didn't stop Job from praising God. He said "Naked I have come, naked I will go. The Lord has given and the Lord has taken away. BLESSED IS THE NAME OF THE LORD." Do I ever bless the name of the Lord when something has been taken away or things aren't going the way I had planned or hoped they would be? No I don't. I complain, out loud so everyone knows "Oh woe is Jannie". Dear me, how self absorbed is that.
My life, the way it is now is set up to have an easy relationship with the Lord serving him in all I do. I have no responsibilities that don't involve some sort of ministry besides paying my bills. I teach Sunday school, help out with the youth group and work for a company who has chosen to build its business with the chief cornerstone (Cornerstone Endodontics) in charge of all that we do. Serving him and our patients that come in. Why can't I take a few minutes out of my day (the day He has given me) to spend with him. I claim he is my friend, but do I treat him like one?
Things may not be going the way I hoped they would be by now but this time I have right now is Jesus and Jannie time. In the beginning it was God and man, that's it. God and man. Right now its God and me. What am I going to do about it?
