Yesterdays Tornado!

I am sure allot of you have seen and heard about the tornado's in Oklahoma yesterday! It was crazy! We stayed glued to the TV watching for our area and praying for those in the path of these monster tornado's! We had a total of 5 that touched down on Oklahoma in an hour and half!

The Lord was very good to us and we did not get any at are house, we got rain, and the clouds were crazy and we did see one south of us, but no harm to us.

Chickasha Oklahoma is 15min from us and we shop there allot! They got hit hard! Here are some pictures!

This is the sky at our house! The clouds that passed over us dropped on chickasha!

This thing was massive!

The damage now to clean up is amazing! This is the Western Sizzlers sign, well, whats left of it.

Gas station were we fill up allot!

This is the Bath and Body Works I have an application in at. So glad I was not working!

This is the same mall strip as the Bath and Body Works! These photo's are crazy!

Please pray for Chickasha! They have 3 confirmed deaths and maybe more! Also keep the rest of Oklahoma in your prayers! There has been so much yesterday and these storms were all clocked as F4 to F5 tornado's!

Thank you dear bloggy friends!

How I Feel

So, I did not know what to blog about today. And then I thought, you know, I should just blog about whats on my heart today. So here it goes!

Im not sure you could call it pain. Well, maybe you can. Its been a long road, filled with allot of bumps. Dont get me wrong, I love Oklahoma, but the reasons for being here are not so fun. Family pulling apart, friends and people you grew up with turning on you. I kinda feel like everything I knew as a child, every memorie, every fun time, is gone. I dont have that anymore.

I know things will be ok. Were doing fine here in Oklahoma. But at the same time, I hate the road I had to walk.

But im going to look for my next path, and hope its better!

On a side note, I have a giweaway I was doing, and only one person entered it! So im giving you the link to it! You have till next friday! Come on, who likes giveaways!

Go HERE!

Thanks all for reading my weird and crazy post!

XOXO

" To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955"

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson"

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. ~Hans Hofmann, Introduction to the Bootstrap, 1993"

"Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. ~Kahlil Gibran"
