Bugs Be Gone

This post is dedicated to all the insect haters out there: "We know they're real, your not alone!"
Let me start out by saying Lance and I have lived in Texas for over a year and a half now and in that time I have  experienced more traumatic bug incidents in this year in and a half than in my entire life. Now when it comes to bugs us girls can sometimes be a little exaggerative well I assure you in this case I'm not.
It all started on our move out to Texas I should have caught it then but it took me a lil longer to realize when people say "Everything is bigger in Texas" they mean it. In order as they happened

1. We stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere and as soon as I stepped out of the car these big beetles were roaming the ground so we ran inside thinking we would be safe...nope they were crawling around IN THE STORE! Crazy people! Who lets this happen? Lance had to pick me up and carry me out on his shoulder yes in front of everyone, I didn't care I was not going to walk past these creatures.
2. Now that we were all settled in we needed to sell the trailer that helped us get out there, while we were talking it over to the soon to be buyer, i felt pinching on my feet I look down I stepped in an ant hill they covered my legs, I was wearing jeans so I ran over to my friends apt took my jeans off and freaked out for awhile.
3. Lance and I wanted to get a soda we were not drinking soda at the time so we walked over to the vending machines by our pool house, once again felt lil things on my feet, look down tiny grey beetles were crawling around everywhere, I jumped on lance forget the soda we were out of there.
4. This incident happened numerous times I can't emphasize enough the word "Numerous", at night big black beetles hang outside on the grounds, because of this I told Lance we cannot go outside when the sun goes down.
5. The apt I lived in before I got married was infested with roaches
6. Our apt we got when we first married had spiders and worms... yes worms so weird, luckily my cat is the buganator and gets them sometimes.
7. I went to lunch with one of my friends now you would think eating inside a well know restaurant you would be safe from bugs, well of course my feet were the first target and I looked under the table and there were ants on the ground I tried not to make a big scene but we moved and I did have a word with the manager ( I was nice as can be )
8. A big spider got inside my car as me and my friend were driving to a shower and this spider was right above me and remind you I'm driving trying not to freak out or get in an accident we both were not wanting to kill it... Ok this one sounds a lil dramatic but I assure you it was scary.
9. Now the latest incident actually happened on Friday I was driving to work my commute is about 20 min all of the sudden ants start coming out of my dashboard all over on my air vents the steering wheel my cup holders,  I called Lance and started crying cuz they were getting on my pants. I had a long drive and couldn't really afford to be late or even pullover because I was on the freeway. If that wasn't bad enough I finally get to work and after it rains here these brown beetles come out, they covered the parking lot and curbs yes covered it was horrible! Lance came to my work switched cars with me and we still haven't figured out where they are coming from we did find them all over on both sides of the door at the bottom where the step up is. It took me awhile to recover from this one and I'm sorry to say I still have not drove or rode in the ant infested car.

I don't like bugs, Lance says that God is trying to drive this fear out of me but its really only causing more fear. It has made me more cautious of my surroundings and where I step. I do check under every table I sit at even if its a well-known restaurant and always take a quick scan of parking lots before I get out of the car. Some people might look at me like I'm a worry wort I like to think of it like I'm preparing myself.

Happy 4th of July

 "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." -Declaration of Independence
So in honor of Independence day I would like to recite the Preamble of the Constitution which came after the Declaration of Independence:
"We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union established justice ensure domestic tranquility; provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
 Thank you God for our country's freedom and the laws that are set to protect us. Thank you for the soldiers and everyone that has taken part to serve this country but I pray for those who are still bound from the evil workings in and of this world, that they will come to know and have true freedom in You.
Happy Independence Day and God Bless

I had a bad day

Yesterday was possibly the worse day I have ever had at work, there have only been a handful of bad days in my entire life at work, yesterday topped them all! The worse part was that I let somebody get the best of me. Have you ever been in an argument with someone and after its over you replay all the words that were spoken? Then if you are like me you start thinking about all things you wanted to say and all the things you should have said. Well that was me yesterday, I let someone not only make me cry but gave control of my mind and let them put thoughts in my head. This person that ruined my day shall remain nameless but it was a guy that confronted me with something in a very unprofessional manner and was way out of line. He got in trouble and he apologized but its really not over because he still has something against me and doesnt like me. I wish I could say that was the end but then one of his co-workers started something about me and doesn't like me and wants to talk to my supervisor. I will leave out all the details but I just feel my character was being attacked and thats a horrible feeling. All those verses in Psalms about being saved from transgressors and the wicked, and God hearing the peoples cry began to pop in my head, Psalms 37:1,2 "Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong for like the grass they will soon wither, like the green plants they will soon die away." This whole incident has really taken a toll on me but I pray I can be stronger through this.  God's love always perseveres I pray mine does too!
