Well.

It has definitely been a while since my last post. In a nutshell, 2 years later, I am with the man of my dreams. His name is Edward. I am very much in love with this man. He loves me unconditionally and I love him unconditionally. Crazy to think I have been with him almost 2 years. We met online but not on an actual dating website. We just kinda started talking and we made the quick(and CRAZY) decision to move in together. Yes it was fast and we probably should've waited but I think we both knew if we waited, it would've probably never happened. And here we are almost two years later. I can't believe it. I am thinking we will get married in two years tops... unless something happens out of our control. I am back in college. I finished all my pharmacy technician stuff and actually worked as a pharmacy technician for about a year before I started in my current job as a Behavioral Health Technician here at Mercy in Springfield. I am blessed beyond belief. I am now going to college to just get my pre-reqs out of the way and then I will be applying for NURSING SCHOOL. Then someday, I hope to be an RN in Labor and Delivery or a Mother/Baby Unit :) We live in our own apartment in Springfield and I absolutely love my independence. Bills are tough sometimes but I am glad I am finally on my feet after everything I went through for so long. We are hoping that next August/September when this lease is up, we will move into a bigger place. We started out at my studio apartment. Now we are in a one bedroom. Next step is a bigger apartment, duplex or loft or God Willing a HOUSE :) When I look at everything now, it is crazy to think how far I've come in just a few short years. I never would've thought I would come this far :)

Yet Again.

It has been a minute since my last post. Working 40 hours a week, finishing pharmacy tech school and preparing for music business school is very time consuming. And on top of that, I'm still trying to maintain a social life. Not as easy as it may seem.
It's Monday and it's my favorite night of the week. Tonight is perfect. Mondays are "Sing Off" night. Tonight I am sitting on my couch. I am pinterest-ing(I am addicted), enjoying some amazing acapella from some SICK groups and drinking some hot chocolate.
Life is good.

these are a few of my favorite things.

So I am bored and I decided to come up with a list of my favorite things. Here it goes.
God. Music. Working. Reading. Learning new things. Texting. Jamming to music in my car. Karaoke. Acapella music. The Sing Off. Committed. Traveling. Long conversations with the best friends ever. My independence in my new apartment. Beyond Scared Straight. Netflix. Love. Cuddling. Changing my hairstyle(both cut and color). Laughing. Quotes. Photography. Vlogs. The Twilight Saga. Kickbutt Acapella arrangements. Dry Erase boards. Baking and cooking. The feeling of accomplishment. Ice cold water. Relaxing on a day off. Getting my nails done. My mom's art. Being myself. Music Business. Dreaming big. Babies. Sleeping. Star Gazing. Road trips. Hot Chocolate. Caramel Mochas from Mickey D's. The Brett Family. Beautiful fall days where I can sit on my patio and drink coffee before work. Fresh squeezed lemonade. Being creative.

Life is beautiful. Despite any current struggles I may be having, life is beautiful.

It Has Been a Minute...

Wow. I am finally getting around to update this thing. In a nutshell, here is what has happened in the past few months~~
*I have gotten a lot of schoolwork done! I'm almost done now :] I know I said that a lot before but I really am close to being done. Just have labs and clinicals to do :]
*I experienced the EXTREME JOY of being done with working at McDonalds :D No words can describe!!
*I am back in Springfield MO aka the place I have always called home :]
*Not even a full two days after being back in Springfield, I got hired at Teletech making $9.50 an hour and working full time :] Definite blessing!
*I got my first apartment ((Orchard Park Apartments in Springfield)) It's a studio and it's BEAUTIFUL!! Water, trash, sewer, high speed internet and cable are PAID :] PLUS a movie theatre, pool, fitness center, coffee shop and tanning beds ;] I am in LOVE!!
*No Missouri boyfriend. I'm cool livin' the single life :]
*After I am done with my pharmacy tech stuff, I hope to enroll with Full Sail University online and I wanna study Music Business :] Music is my passion and I wanna do something with that for the rest of my life :]

Life is good! God is GREAT :) Be blessed!

New Found Love of Singleness.

Since January, I have been following The Single Woman on Twitter (@TheSingleWoman) and she has really inspired me in more ways than one. She inspires me to wait for the person who God has for me. But most importantly, she has shown me that the single life is a blessing and not a curse. In fact, it is something to embrace. I can use the time to accomplish my goals and dreams. I can have "Me" time which could include me eating a carton of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and watching a sappy chick flick and bawling my eyes out. I don't have to worry about checking in with someone all the time. I'm free to learn who I am. Once I learn who I am, I will know who God has for me.
On April 16th, she posted this in a column on her website www.thesinglewoman.net It is something that couldn't be further from the truth...
She might be the bravest woman I know.

She walks the unaccompanied path. She has her own back. She asks for no favors. Not an ounce of independence does she lack.

She has moments where she feels as though no one sees her. She feels them LOOK at her, but do they really SEE her? She gets catcalls when she walks down the street…yet she goes to bed alone.

She’s not afraid to change her mind…but petrified to change a tire. She makes her own decisions…but can’t make toast without burning it. Her idea of a three course meal is a Lean Cuisine. There are shoes in her cupboard where flour and sugar are supposed to be.

She’s sassy and feisty on the streets…but some nights her tears fall on empty sheets.

She has moments where she KNOWS she’s sexy…and moments where she doubts everything about herself.

She screws up…a lot. She stumbles and she falls. She gets it wrong as often as she gets it right. But she never gives up the fight.

She has bad hair days. She’ll buy a new dress at Target and pray it passes for something a little fancier. Some months she struggles to make her rent and her car payment in the same month. Because she bought too many shoes? Sometimes. But the only pair of designer shoes she has in her collection are a pair of Christian LaCroix that she got half off at a sidewalk sale.

Sometimes her friends let her down. They don’t always say the right things. And the elusive “One That Got Away”? She still can’t cut the strings.

She has moments of panic where she wonders if her Prince Charming got lost somewhere, or decided to settle instead for another less complicated, less stubborn, less independent princess. Sometimes she don’t know where she’s going until she gets there.

She hasn’t got it all figured out...far from it, in fact.

But she loves God and she loves to dance…and she’s her own “Better Half.”

The bravest woman I know?

She is the reason I do what I do.

She is The Single Woman.

She’s me…and she’s you.


--I love the part where she mentions that the single woman is "her own better half" I never even saw it that way until I read this.
But it is 2:11am and I just wanted to write something. Hope those of you who read this were inspired and know that you aren't alone when you're single. You have the two most important people you can have... GOD and YOURSELF :)
jbaybay :)

Day Off.

So it's a beautiful Friday here in Wisconsin AND I'm off of work!! That never happens!! How am I spending it? Sitting INSIDE on my computer doing school work/job searching/doing my whole social networking thing/updating my iTunes with some amazing music and I also have "Say Yes to the Dress" on. lol. Life is good!
Watching "Say Yes to the Dress" has me thinking about marriage and all the planning that goes into a wedding. Some people put SOOOO much money down on just a dress!! If it was up to me, I would get married in a park or something in a simple outfit/dress. I would never pay $7,000 on a dress that I'm only gonna wear once!
Okay. Just throwing that out there!! lol.
I have become quite the acapella junkie :) Ever since I watched the Sing-Off, I've gotten hooked! I have always liked music and I always thought acapella was pretty cool. But now, it's something totally different. I love seeing what can be done with the human voice alone. The beats. The tight harmonies. I LOVE IT ALL!! ----> even more reason for me to pursue what I want to pursue :)
Well I should get back to school work! Pharmacology :) Woot woot!
JBAYBAY

Time is FLYING.

Okay so I don't have time to update this much after all. I am a twitter junkie. I have loads of schoolwork to finish by the middle of June. Preparing to move. Working 30+ hours a week. And above all, trying to keep God the center of my life. That's hard to do with a schedule as hectic as mine but I try.
I'm very undecided about my future plans. But this quote from the movie Eclipse is how I see this journey I'm on right now...
"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions; this is a time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love... a lot. Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won't have to guess... we'll know."
Eventually, I will have to make a decision about my future when it comes to school, dreams and goals and I pray that God guides me where He wants me. But I also know that God doesn't force Himself or His plans on you. So I just pray that I'm sensitive to His voice more and more all the time.
I know, I'm being very vague about my dreams and goals right now. But I just don't wanna say anything at this point because it seems far fetched. But God has been working on my faith a lot lately and showing me that NOTHING is far fetched when He has control of the situation. I'm ready for a change of pace. Something new. Something that could shake the world. I'm READY GOD!!
On a different note, I'm a fat butt and I need to start working out more. I say this all the time but I'm serious! I need to fit exercise into my already busy schedule. Problem is I value my sleep. So I also am praying that God would help me not value my sleep as much and I can get up earlier and work out. I need strength God. lol.
But anyways, I gotta get ready for work now. Byebye.
[jbaybay] ----> future license plate!

Breathing a sigh of relief!

I am finally done with Pharmaceutical Calculations!!!! YAY!!!! lol. I took my final last night and mailed it in today! Such a relief to be done with it! :) Now onto Pharmacology aka the meat of the study! I'm ready!
I'm still trying to figure out where I'm gonna end up in the next several months. I know I wanna be in the south and that's where I believe I am being led... I just gotta find an apartment and a job and SAVE SAVE SAVE!!! :) The thing I have to remember is that MY plan isn't always GOD'S plan! Gotta let go and let God :)
In speaking of God, He is REALLY moving in my life. I love seeing Him move in different areas. He is giving me strength through my hectic schedule(work, school, Bible study and still finding time to sleep) There have been several nights where I've had only an hour or two of sleep and I've had work and school stuff to do... But He has kept me going!
Hope you all have a great week! :)

I really need to write in here more.

Life is soooo crazy right now. Still doing Pharmacy Tech school... I'm about halfway through. I feel like I should be done by now... Technically I should be(should've finished in February) I gotta get my life straight. Moving in the next few months cuz gma's gotta move(Her hubby is getting outta jail) I was gonna move to eastern TN for school but that kinda fell through. My friend wants me to move to Boston and get an apt with her... But I really wanna be in the south! I hate the cold weather. I hate the snow. I hate driving in the snow. If I only have to do that a couple of times a year, I would be cool with that! I know that God will lead me where He wants me. Just gotta have faith! :)
As far as guys go, I'm not dating anyone right now... nor do I want to date anyone right now. Reason 1 is I'm wayyyy too busy and I need to keep my focus straight right now. Reason 2 is I can't seem to meet a guy who meets my standards who wants to date me too! lol. I'm done with these guys who are lukewarm towards me and God! I've really been thinking about all of this lately. I'm not gonna go into detail on here cuz I'm still figuring everything out. Slowly but surely my desires for my future mate are changing.
Anywho, Happy Sunday y'all! Be blessed and be blessed to be a blessing to others :)

2011

Wow. It's been quite some time since I've updated. More than likely cuz I'm not so sure anyone reads my ramblings. But a lot has happened and I like to see where I've come from and where I am going... So I will write.
On November 30th, I turned 21. I went to a bar with my friend, Angela. I had 4 UV Blue and lemonades and a shot of doctor. I wound up on the floor puking til 4am. Never again. lol.
Now it's 2011 and I'm ready for a fresh start!
New Years Resolutions.
1. Draw closer to God than ever before(Bible reading, Bible study, accountability, abstaining from any activities that don't please God etc.)
2. Finish school by June with good grades :)
3. Learn patience.

The fourth one is pretty big but God is still holding back details. He will tell me when all is said and done... But I will most likely be moving to Alabama, Georgia or Mississippi. In order to abandon the pain of my past, I need to escape where I have been and go somewhere and start a new life. It's pretty big but I know God will help me with expenses and really leading me where He wants me to go.

All in all, that's basically all that's happened in the past couple months. Pretty uneventful actually. lol

One Year Ago.

Wow! What a year this has been. A lot has happened. I'm sure some of you don't really know what I'm talking about so I will explain.
One year ago, I was going through the hardest time of my life. The person who I had been with for 2 years had started to get physically and emotionally abusive, we were on the verge of being homeless, I was getting ready to go to cosmetology school in January... Things were too much to bear. Then on November 22nd, I had enough of everything and broke down. Then I went to the bathroom, took 200 extra strength rapid release tylenol and about 60 famotadine(acid reliever) tablets. I told my boyfriend... not thinking he would do anything considering we had just had a huge fight and he was angry... plus he was at band practice... But about 30 minutes later, the paramedics came knocking on our hotel room door(Home sweet home for us at the time) I was so out of it, I don't remember much. I kept feeling myself going in and out of remembering and not remembering. I don't remember the ambulance ride. I don't remember that I had attempted to slice my wrists before the ambulance got there. I do remember the charcoal I had to take to get all the medicine out of my stomach. I do remember that I had to be on oxygen to have myself become "stabilized". I remember it was really late when I got to the place I would be staying for the next several days. And I remember the noise my stomach was making from the charcoal.
God saved my life that night. That's when I genuinely realized that God has an amazing plan for my life and He's not through with me yet.
God--- I thank you for this amazing life you have given me... Even with it's struggles, You have shown me to see through things and not just look at them. You are so faithful and Your plans are better than any human plan I could come up with. I thank you for the struggles of the past year. They have started to mold me into the woman you want me to be. I pray that I will never forget those moments of struggle and that you will use those moments to strengthen me and my faith. I love you Lord. I pray all of these things in your precious name. Amen.

8 days til my birthday! :)

Bronchitis/Pneumonia adventure.

So for those faithful readers of this blog, I am sorry for my lack of posts. I was EXTREMELY sick for the past two weeks and I'm just now coming out of it.
It all started with this excruciating pain in my neck. I thought maybe I had slept in some odd position(which I have been known to do) But the next day, I woke up and went to work and it was painful to walk because I had pain in my back and my legs were extremely sore and tense. They sent me home early that day so I just kinda took it easy at home. The pain continued over the next several days and I was sleeping pretty much any chance I got. Then one morning, I had to be at work at 6am... But when I woke up, my chest felt very heavy, I was having chest pains and it was hard(and painful) to breathe. I called work at 5:30am and was given a load of crap by the manager on duty. I told her I needed to go to the Emergency room but she just wouldn't let it go. I ended up telling her I wasn't going to be there and she told me I needed to be more "responsible"... Okay ______, I will be more responsible. God--- From this day forward I need to know at least 2 hours in advance of work if I am gonna need to go to the ER. Amen. I understand that maybe I should've called earlier... But I was waiting to see if I could stick it out... then at 5am, it got really bad. So I woke my grandma up and had her take me to the ER. What a woman! :)
At the ER they told me I had bronchitis and pneumonia... gave me an antibiotic and a prescription for codeine to help me sleep. I believe I forgot to mention that I had been coughing A LOT the previous few nights. I missed the next several days of work... But now I'm back. I still hate my job now... maybe even more than I did before. I'm sick of getting pushed to my limits by people who don't like me for whatever reason. I'm sick of unprofessional managers. I'm sick of the guilt trips that I get when I tell them I can't stay later. I'm sick of crying at work everyday. I'm sick of it all. I need something better... School will be done soon enough I hope.

Captivating.

In the past 5 or 6 years, I have read the book "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge about 5 or 6 times. And I always learn something new. Something new about being the woman of God that I have been created and put on this earth to be. God-Fearing. Beautiful inside and out. Relational. Strong yet able to collapse in my Father's arms. Women are not meant to be hard as rocks and tough as nails. We are meant to be this kind hearted, soft and loving spirit. Now that's not saying we don't have the right to voice our opinion. I'm just saying there are too many Christian woman out there who put up this tough exterior... me being one of them... But I've come to realize by reading and listening to this book as many times as I have, that God didn't create women to be "hard" in the core. Yes, we can be strong women... But so many women are hard in the core and that's not who God created us to be. Yes, we need to guard our hearts. But that doesn't mean women should push people away. I know way too many girls who push people away who care about them solely cuz they are afraid of getting hurt. In the end, God created us to be relational because HE is relational. We were created in HIS image. He desires an intimate relationship with us just like women desire relationship with family, friends, a significant other, co-workers etc.
But anyways, away from my pulpit now. lol. McDonalds has gotten extremely bad. And it's all gone downhill very rapidly. I get called stupid at work on an almost daily basis. And a lot of other people are treated like dirt as well. To say the least, God is really testing my patience. The other day, I almost didn't go back after my break cuz my job isn't even worth it to me anymore. I love working and making money, but when I go home crying almost everyday, that's where I draw the line. I have several friends at work who feel the same way. One of them is quitting in February. And the others are hoping to quit sooner than that. I'm hoping to finish school in January so that way I can get outta there before I'm stuck there by myself.
I played my wii today... it was kinda awkward cuz Austin's characters were still on there. I can't pull myself to delete them just yet. Trying to keep the good memories alive and keep all the bitterness away. But with time, the characters will disappear.
My dating fast is going pretty well. I'm just torn in a few different areas. But that's the whole point of this. I haven't given every part of my life to God. He would always get MOST of it... But there were always areas I held things back... which is kinda dumb because God knows everything... but I digress. I'm learning to give EVERY part of my life to Him cuz He knows the final pieces to the puzzle of my life. And let me tell ya, this time has been a very humbling experience. He's showing me how much I depend on Him for EVERYTHING. And since I started this dating fast, my hours have gone up at work. My grades have gone up in school(more time to focus) and life is improving dramatically.
Wow. This was a very long winded blog. I guess I just had a lot on the dome that I needed to put out there. Well hope everyone who actually reads all this has a great couple days... til I write again :)
In His Grip,
Jackie

21.

So in about a month and a half, I will be the big 2-1. To me, that seems INSANE that I will be COMPLETELY legal... not just 3/4 legal like I've been for the past 2.5 years. I look back and think how fast the past few years have gone and it seems like I just turned 18 and was still in high school. Now I'm getting ready to be a full blown adult. That's NUTS!
So lately, my future has really been crossing my mind. I've been doing quite well in the Pharmacy Technician program I'm enrolled in... But what will I do when I'm done with that? I'm always wanting to expand my horizons and learn tons of new stuff... I'm your typical sponge... just soaking up everything I can. But anyways, I'm thinking about going to a four-year university. I have some ideas of where I would want to go... It's just a matter of putting it all into action :)
My dating fast is in full swing... and let me tell ya, I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I feel soooo focused. I have no guys holding me back... and the guys I do have in my life are the best and keep pushing me forward, challenging me and holding me accountable. I'm only 4 days into it, yes... But that's 4 days longer than what it would be had I not decided to do this. 361 more days... But who's counting? lol. But seriously though, since I committed to doing this, God has really been by my side... cheering me on if you will. I feel so blessed to be sensitive to what God is telling me to do... and what God is telling my friends to tell me :)

Stress.

So the past few days have been extremely stressful.
First off, I made plans to make a trip down to Illinois to see my best friend at school. I had made a trip down there recently but didn't stop and see her... So I decided to make a quick trip down there on my days off to see her. I missed her too much and she missed me so it seemed perfect. 2 hours of driving went by without any problems... just a little bit of Chicago-rush hour-bumper to bumper traffic. No biggie. Then I get off on the exit for I-80... Boom, flat tire. I call my friend... She calls a friend to take her to come help me put my spare on and get to Olivet in one piece. She comes with her friend, tire gets changed and we start our journey. About 10 miles or so later, the tire feels like it's driving funny and may be flat... So we stop at a gas station to air up the spare tire. I trust Caroll with the job... but too much air equals a broken spare tire :( We went through two tires in one night. We called her friend back and had him come get us from the gas station and take us back to campus.
The next day. Chapel. Class. Running and looking for tires... only to realize later that my rim was so damaged beyond repair that they couldn't put a new tire on without a rim. We were running on limited time as well, because Caroll had plans to go to Chicago and see Lion King. Luckily we find a TIRE AND A RIM FOR $40.
I guess my whole point of all this rambling is that I'm learning about God's faithfulness. He never gives us more than we can handle. And He knows what we need before we even ask. Truth is, throughout the day, I had been praying that God would keep the expenses under $50... He was faithful and everything only cost me $40 and I made it home in one piece... just in time for work... and it was homecoming. lol

6 months at a time.

So from this day forward, October 7th 2010, I'm making a vow with God (with my best friend Caroll holding me accountable) to go on a dating fast for AT LEAST 6 months... I'm striving for a year. I just am realizing how much I long for more of God in my life and that I need to draw nearer to Him instead of drawing close to men. God will bless me with a wonderful man someday who follows Him and is faithful. And until that day I need to ready myself. I've needed all of this for a long time. I guess I'm really realizing HOW MUCH I do.

I am TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE!!!

So I was on Netflix yesterday and was looking under spoofs and things like that... And I found what seemed to be a spoof of Twilight. Well, it is a spoof of Twilight, but not exactly the spoof I was looking for... Unless you consider a SPOOF to be a moderate form of pornography/incest/disgusting excuse for a movie. I watched it for 10 whole minutes, stopped it and deleted it outta my instant queue. It looks like it was made by a bunch of high schoolers with a video camera.

The thing that disappoints me most tho is that netflix actually has a movie like this on their site... I can't imagine how many high school kids will end up looking for a spoof of Twilight and wind up watching this filth. And by filth, I mean that Stella's(Bella)father has an incest relationship with her, masturbates over her as she has a "sex dream" about Edgar(Edward), the constant sexual innuendos... And that's about as far as I got... Ohhh yeah and the movie starts out with a guy taking a dump in the woods. I should've known from the minute I saw that to turn the movie off... And I should've known by the NAME of the movie that it was gonna be disgusting filth only a high school boys brain coulda come up with.

Annnnnyways.... Just needed to vent and get that out.

yahyahyah!

I GOT A 100% ON A QUIZ FOR PHARMACY TECH SCHOOL TODAY!!! YEEEEEE!! :)) I am soooo proud of how I am doing in the program!! I have a 90% overall! I'm just so ready to not go to McDonalds ever again. The funny thing is I have loved McDonalds since I was a kid. I've had enough of them to the point where I don't know if I could ever set foot in another one after I quit. I've contemplated getting a job somewhere else for the time being... But then I remember, there's really no point... Just gotta suck it up there for another 5 months and then I will be done with school and I can do what I wanna do... And make better money doing so. :)

So I was thinking the other day(I know what you're thinking, Jackie, woah, stop before you hurt yourself...am I right?) I was thinking about Twilight. I watched a video of one of my all-time favorite pastors talking about the Twilight series(and the plethora of other vampire love stories out nowadays) and he was basically BASHING the Twilight books. Here's my question... Did he actually READ the books? The books are NOT bad... The only time the books become bad are when they become your idol and your sole focus... When you start putting God aside in order to worship these amazing books :) lol. Or if you start believing in vampires, witchcraft and such. Therefore, I have decided that I will continue to read the Twilight Saga... and watch the movies. :)

My best friend is going back to college soon and this makes me sad. Happy cuz she's happy but I don't want her to leave... Caroll, pack me with your stuff and seclude me in your dorm all year... Your school will NEVER know :) I will do my school while I'm there and everything will work out... Yes I have thought this over. lol.
