Nellisms & Life

Yesterday was Sunday and of course we had church. Just like every Sunday and Wednesday we “pentecostals” go to church and worship the one true living God. Yesterday when I got home my upstairs neighbors little girl was outside playing. With me being dressed up she asked me how work was and I told her Oh sweetie I wasn’t at work I was at church! And in fact we baptized a little girl about your age!! She looked up at me not having any idea what I was talking about !!! “What is baptized” she asked. And so I told her in the simplest way I could. then she asked ” what is sunday school” So I told her it’s where you go and learn about Jesus and all the cool things He’s done ect ect…. “who’s Jesus ? I don’t know Him she said. My heart broke into a million pieces!! Yes I have invited her father to church but he always says no so I gave up.. I mean what else could I do ?? I can’t force him to want to come!!! But that night I could not sleep KNOWING what I know and having 2 little girls live above that know absolutely NOTHING about God !!! I can’t stop thinking about her and her sister and the father. Who am I to “give up” ? God has never given up on me, all my mistakes, all my stupid comments and thoughts and He ALWAYS forgives! He always is reaching out for me so why not for John and his girls??? All I know, is after that coversation, I cannot give up and I definitely can’t get so comfortable in my own little world of being saved and going to church and going through the motions that I forget there are people IN MY OWN CITY that have never heard of Jesus Christ!! Not across the world in some foreign country, but right here in Hollister. I had the church pray for this family at church tonight. Afterwards, a man in the church came up to me and felt strongly impressed to tell me the way to John is through his girls! I am not giving up, whatever it takes! Whether he receives or rejects the gospel, he will hear it!! Keep this family in your prayers.

SO, around 4 am Saturday morning I woke up to the very weird feeling of something on me ….. I look down and there is a HUGE WOLF SPIDER ON MY ARM !!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! I Jump out of the bed screaming at the TOP OF MY LUNGS !!! SPIDER SPIDER BAAABE THEIR IS A SPIDER IN THE BED !!! KILL IT KILL IT !!!! Matthew however sleeps like the dead so I had to scream some more, =). He wakes up and is like where?? where is it ?? It had gotten under my pillow !! He gently lifts the corner of the pillow and out it skedaddles across the bed !!! SMASH !!! He’s dead with the swift blow of a flip flop!!!!! BUT IT WAS PREGNANT !!!! OOOOOH the HORROR of seeing little spiders on your just clean, just washed sheets !!!!! My knight in shining armor killed those too, my hero …. Since the spider had been killed on my side of the bed I could not sleep on that side, so we switched sides … needless to say I still did not get much sleep! Every little itch I would jump, then Matt put his hand on my arm and I jumped clean through the roof!!! Which he of course thought was hilarious. Hmph! Thank God for the people that invented Raid! I love them.

HELLO BLOGWORLD!!!! I have decided to join the wonderful world of blogging! I have NO IDEA what I’m going to “blog” about so just be prepared for anything, as if you wouldn’t be already. I mean, HELLO if you know me at all you just know that anything can come out my mouth, or through my fingers… I will TRY to be good. Try not air out all my pet peeves, and I do mean ALL (just ask my husband). I suppose blogging is good for the soul, writing out your feelings, your thoughts, blah blah blah blah…   I just figured that if everyone else in the world that I know is going to blog then I should too. And NO if everyone jumped off a bridge, I would not jump.  I know that at times I can be a little difficult to follow, but do your best… it can’t be that difficult!

A little information about me: I absolutely LOVE music, in every way and almost all types of music! I probaly drive most people crazy with how much I have music on ect..  I also really LOVE to cook!!! I was absolutely amazed by how much I love to cook! The first year I was married we lived on tacos, hamburgers, and spaghetti, and if I NEVER eat those again I will be ok. So I started to keep a “journal” of what I really enjoyed eating and tried to make those dishes. Some of the firsts were HORRIBLE but I think I’ve gotten better.  I know that we (matt&I) cannot afford to go out to eat every night, especially the places I like to eat!!! Sooo why not save money and try to re-create those dishes?! SOOO you guys will probaly be getting a few recipes on here, and if you have something you think is good just let me know so I can try it! I also LOOOOOOVE my wonderful husband!! He is the best thing that EVER happened to me, (besides God, the Holyghost, ect) COME ON Do I have to clarify everything I say ?? Anyways, I hope that you enjoy my blog, I’ll try to keep it interesting, like that will be a problem.. but you never know…  No really you never know …
