Many of you may have watched Obama's lovely address to the nation. To me, I was not impressed and I felt like it was a substance-free speech. I did not walk away feeling confident, nor did I walk away feeling angry. It was just a shrug my shoulders and keep going type of speech. The thing that got me the most in the news last night is the video where Obama flat-out makes fun of people who attended the Tax Day Tea Parties. I am sorry, but this causes me to lose a great deal of respect for the person Obama is. I cannot believe that the man who is suppose to stand up for my rights as an American Citizen, completely did not understand what our protest was about. Once I find the video, you bet I will be putting it on here! I was also informed last night that based on my age, I will be paying $112,000+ to the government due to the Stimulus Package. Something I did not support in the first place, but who cares about what the people really want, it is all about what a few people in Government want.

Today is just another day... and Obama's 100th Day in Office...
Today started off like any other day. I woke up around 7 am, took a shower, and let Maddy out. Lately, I have had a lot on my mind about many different areas of my life and other's.
SPIRITUAL:
The biggest area I have thought about is my relationship with God. Where can I improve? How can I become the Woman that the Lord wants me to be? Does this start with praying more and for everyone I know? Or... does it start with letting God know WHO I am? I have to learn ot let God into the depths of my heart, where nobody else will ever be able to go. I have started with reflecting on whether the person on the outside is truly reflecting the person on the inside, or is it some huge game where I am one person to others and only I know the real me? I think where this journey begins is being Genuine and letting others really know what is going on with me.
JOB:
So, this is the toughest time of the year where the numbers really matter. This is the time when students call you and tell you, "you are so amazing and have done SUCH a great job... BUT... I'm going somewhere else". It is a time when you start to question if you are doing all you can or if what you are doing is all you can do? What do high school students want that I don't seem to be able to connect with? It can definitely be stressful to have so much on your shoulders and not really know how to fix it. This relates to my Spiritual Walk with the Lord. I have to let go of my expectations and let Him do what he is suppose to do! "Let go and let God".... this quote seems to go through my head quite often these days.
POLITICS:
Yesterday could be one of the great days for the GOP or one of the worst. A very liberal Republican Senator from PA has switched parties. Some may see this as bad because this could give the Democrats an upper hand and allow them to pass anything that they want to. Some may see this as good because he has been on the far left of the GOP for over twenty years. He gave the GOP one of the highest compliments yesterday by saying that, "The Republican party has gone too far to the right". Why thank you SO much!!! I also heard that because I was part of the Tax Day Tea Parties, that this has automatically made me a "racist red neck". Unfortionately... that is as far from the truth as possible. I could honestly care less about somebody's ethnicity and the last time I checked... I am definitely not a "red neck". If you are reading this blog and still think that the participants of the "Tax Day Tea Parties" were just some dumb group of people trying to cause problems, turn CNN off. The reason I attended and supported the Tea Parties was because it was a way for me to express my opinions and hope and pray somebody was listening. I don't know about any body else, but I barely have enough money for the taxes I have now, much less the taxes that the new Administration is trying to put on us. It has been very sad to me, how many people only listen to CNN and form their opinions off of that station. Over the past election, I have been able to flip back forth between FOX and CNN and see an obvious difference in the material that each station is allowing to be placed on their television. Below is an example of what CNN's agenda really is...

So, here is a question for you. How do you think Obama has done for his first 100 days and what do you think is to come?

Here is Where it All Begins
Well, I guess I have jumped onto the "blogging" train. I began blogging about 5 years ago with the "Xanga Craze" and then fell off of the excitement of it all! Currently, there are so many things going on around me that I feel if I do not record them, I could forget them very soon. Within my blog you will find all of the following: personal experiences, political views, athletic events, and a lot about my relationship with Jesus Christ. This post has to be short, but as I think and go about my day there will be more and I may step on people's toes, but honestly people do not do that enough these days. We are all too afraid to offend someone so we do not say what WE believe, if we cannot say what we feel then who are we really hurting in it all? ...Post more later!
