I feel like...

A GROWN UP!!!

Sooooooooo i've been ALL excited cuz i've been feelin like SUCH a GROWN UP lately!!! I know, i know, at 28, I probabley should have been feelin that way a LOOOOOOOONG time ago....buuuuuut....as you all know...I'm MARY, and these things just don't happen quickely with me!!!! ;)

Soooooo i've had a bank account, but it was only a savings and I have been gettin my paycheck in direct deposit to it, buuuuuut I have been thinkin, OH I really NEEEED to get a checking account. This way I can get a debit card... and shop online!!!! (AHahaha)

K! Sooooooo I go walkin into the bank, AFTER I had driven there, ALL BY MYSELF, with the keys hanging off my fingers, FEEEEELIN OOOOOO sooooo grown up and I ask my bank teller if I can open a checking account to??? She kind of hesitates, then says, "Weeeeeeellllllll, yeah, buuuuuut how old are you?" I'm like, 28!!!!!!!

She just looks at me with this STARTELED expression and says, oh, OH, OK! Yeah, thats fine. You can open one. Then she kinda smiles and says, I thought you were younger than 28. I'm like OH, how old did you think I was? And she kind of hesitates and says, weeeeeellll...I didn't know for sure, buuuuut, I was thinking you were under 18, thats WHY I asked you your age!!!

I was like YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!

AHAHAHAHA!!!

THEN a month or so ago at Bible college, I was talkin to one of the married girls and some other girls after class one night. AND I was just being my goofy self, tellin stories to make them laugh, and then I was talkin about how there are some prayers that God answers sooooo FAST, like you pray about your attitude and convictions and God is like RIGHT on it and I said buuuuut there are other things that you pray for and you just have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, AND WAIT!!!!! And I was being VERY dramatic....You would have to be there...LOL...AND I was like, FOR EXAMPLE, I have been praying for a HUSBAND, for TEN YEARS NOW, and God STILL hasn't answered that prayer!!!!!

So the married girl, just kinda sweetly, maturely, smiles at me and gently asks, How old are you Mary??? I'm like, 28!!!! She is like, OH! I'm like, you thought I was younger didn't you??? She starts laughing, and says YES!!! I thought you were like 18 and I was thinkin like, Oh poor Mary's been prayin for a husband since she was 8!!! AHAHA!

.
AnywayZ, I think its funny that i'm FINALLLLY, feelin like a KINDA-sorta- grown up at 28 years old and people are guessing me to be under age...

I'm just curious as to what is that makes everyone guess me to be younger???

I don't know, maybe its my little girl bows,

Hello Kitty clothes or

the heart-shaped-hot-pink sunglasses???

HAHAHA!!!

NOT THAT I MIND!!! ;)

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
