Philippians 4:11-13

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength

The good Saturday morning ones. Which translated into Looney Tunes and other various, similar cartoons.

I hope not. I wasnt a fan of high school at all I hope that I have many more amazing years ahead of me to look forward to.

Who do you think impacted your life the most?

God.

About as useful as a white crayon.

I picked the wrong time to come back to Augusta from Lincolnton. I forgot about the fishing tournament going on this weekend at WildWood. This would be Jade & I sitting in bumper bumper traffic between WildWood and Pollards Corner. We were both annoyed-haha

"You can fool the fans but not the players"

“Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things- with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.”  Corazon Aquino

I'm exhausted. In more ways than one. This beach trip was the best get-a-way, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Our beach trip started out with a bang when we're pulled over by a cop in Millin. He says we were doing 62 in a 35 work zone-but that's another lie to add to the list told. After we sat there 30 min while he called for backup, he wrote two tickets- one for each car, and then we were beach bound...again. We arrived in Tybee between seven thirty and eight that morning. New friends, weather was amazing, and the memories made-priceless. My friends are truly amazing, they're one of a kind, and I would not trade them for anything.

I have always taken great comfort that, regardless of the emotion expressed, you can look at my blog and know I'm being true. We're all so different, but we've also all felt the same at one time or another. There are very FEW things in life that a trip to Tybee cannot fix, but - "You can fool the fans but not the players."- and this slap in the face still hurt when I returned.

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent

Once the truth comes out, because it always does, you get a slap in the face for just now realizing that you have loved someone that constantly lies to you. Over and over again, even after begging for the truth. Sometimes it feels like a punishment, for a sin I don’t remember committing. That's what happened. I got a big slap in the face (not literally) for realizing YEARS later that I was the ONLY one who did not know what was going on in my own situation. This behavior could, at best, be described as amoral, and at worst, just a hair shy of deliberately cruel.

When I found out I was not upset, but glad this person decided he could finally stop lying- for no reason. From his mouth pours paranoia and hurtful word and from his eyes, tears. Since it has come out- the truth has made him a stranger. There are very few remnants of the person I thought I knew. In this profound epiphany, I feel as though there’s been a death. When I realized everything I knew or thought was a lie- it was so much loss to contend with, each new thought becomes a small funeral. I found myself with emotions so close to the surface I was sweating grief. And lacking a corpse, I forced myself to bury my expectations and my need for the way things were- because the way things were was a lie. I didn't want to play this game, all I ever asked for was truth.

 With this person I hardly recognize now.

I never mean to confuse anyone, but if it wasn't clear, you should know I don't write about the current romantic climate of my life to protect my own interests. I write about my past- this is my way of letting go so I can start to forgive and move forward with my future.

& remember, there is never any reason to lie- about anything. The truth always comes out...but the truth is a lot more easier on the heart than the lies will taste coming out of your mouth.

Always & Forever,

Ann-Anise.

Jealously is a weak emotion, and it seeps through everything a hater does & says

In the Bible, the apostle James talks about counting all trials and tribulations as “joy” — and you should do the same thing when you start getting haters. Why? Because it means you’re DOING something!

“If you’re not pissing off at least one person per day–you’re not trying hard enough”.

"Ladies if you got 14 women hating on you, you need to figure out how to get to 16 before the summer gets here. If there’s any haters in here right now that don’t have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me.”

If you’re not pissing people off … if you’re not triggering emotion among a large portion of the average population … then you’re probably playing it safe. You’re probably afraid of flying high and being as awesome as you want to be because you don’t want people to hate you.

Here’s the thing though: you’ll always have haters.

“Haters Hate. That’s They Job!”
