Comparison to Movie

Obviously, I have only seen the first part of the movie, I as a whole would deem the book 100 times better then the movie, there was more detail and I enjoyed Jacobs point of view which was not in the movie in the same way, I felt like the movie robbed the book of much of the good parts and one liners. However, if it where not fro the wedding scene I could never have imagined it that beautiful as the movie had it.

Summary

All in all it was a great book I loved much of it and I think it was a suprizing ending to the series. There was a lot of loss, and pain which was hard to read. I mean she lost Prim who she was sure she loved, she lost her mom Emotionally, and she was so damaged in the end that her life was barely worth living. Yet i found relief in that she did finally realize that she loved Peeta, and could be happy again with him and she could enjoy having kids in a Hunger Games free world. I do wish that I had known more that happened to Annie and thir son and that Finnick could have known his son. And Johanna and Gale and the rest of the characters. Still it was a good book and I recommend it to any one.

I liked the way it was written with little snips from everyone in the book, it was irritating going from one to another but I feel it was seamless once you got what was happening.

Things I Will Do as a Parent, Someday

1. Adopt – Honestly if I could never have a biological kid that’s completely fine with me. I can and will be mother even if the kid does not have my DNA. I vow to love it as mush as my heart can hold and then some.
2. Biblical names – I have always wanted a theme with my children’s names. I have loved for years the idea of them all being bilabially based. But, I don’t want a John and Mary, I want a Judah, and a Jude, and a Jeremiah (Girl, Myah for short), and Lilian.
3. Family names for middle names -Lilian Allison (Last Name) and Jeremiah Abigail (Last Name), Jude Steven (Last Name) and there has to be a Judah Lee which was my grandmothers middle name that she went by and it is my middle name as well.
4. Raise them to be Christians – I will raise my children knowing that Jesus is not only their savior, and creator, but the one that gave them to me the one that choose me to be their Mommy. No they didn’t come from me, but I believe it will be a match made in heaven.
5. Homeschool/Private School – I do mean this as a slight to the public school. They screwed me over, they didn’t see my disabilities and called me lazy for 14 years, and I will not allow that to happen to any kid of mine. A private education with less students per class and more resources will be the plan for my kids. Ideally, I would hire a professional to come in to the home and teach them daily and we school that way.
6. Santa – Santa is real. No he is not a man but a sprit of love and giving. Till they are old enough to understand he is a man but we will introduce Santa to them to teach them about faith.

My 2018 Christmas List

I accept that I will not get all these items for Christmas, what I am simply doing is showing my hearts desires, feel free to ship any of seen items to me. I will not reject them. 🙂

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I love face masks too.

I don’t want the 60 pack I WANT THIS ONE, it has all the different colors the 60 pack does not.

Never tried these and I want to.

This just makes my heart happy.

I ran out and I’m too cheep to replace it.

Everyone says I need one.

Color procain. Acne one. It’s the best.

To Those of Us Who Have Screwed Up…

This post is about 2 things. The first is about how we treat the people we love when they make a mistake. The second is about the mistakes I have made and why i choose to live my life the way I do.

The First Thing:

We have all screwed up at some point. Whether it was intentional or not we have made mistakes we can’t take back. Said something in anger, chosen something we shouldn’t have. Thought with the part of our brain that is not wired to logic. We have all done it and will probably do it again.

What we fail to miss is this. To the ones that love us unconditionally, we are already forgiven… before we even make the mistake.

I like this analogy. Say my cat Lulu booked it out the door one day as I was bringing grocery in. I would chase after her. I would follow her to the ends of the earth looking for her. I would post signs with my phone number, offer a reward, and spend every hour looking for her till she was in my arms again.

Seems normal right? But ah, change the cat that escaped to a person who choose the wrong thing. Now what do you do? Give them the silent treatment, yell at them, demean their ability to make choices.

How is this any different than Lulu getting out?

Sure, she didn’t know any better, I was trying to protect her by keeping her in. It’s the same to the person who made the wrong choice. They did it trying to achieve happiness not trying to get away from you but to see if the grass was greener. They didn’t know you kept them from it because you were trying to protect them… They didn’t know any better.

Here is where it gets hard.

When I sit crying in my arms on my porch, voice gone from yelling her name and I look up to see dirty, cold, tired, hungry Lulu walking up the drive way what am I to do?

Turn a cold shoulder, say “look who’s coming crawling back”, laugh at her realizing I was right and she was wrong, Leave her to walk the drive alone, and continue to belittle her till she admits I’m right.

Absolutely not, But that’s what most people do when the person who made the wrong choice comes back.

What should you do? I’d bolt to Lulu coming up the drive. Fall to my knees, wrap my arms around her so tight that I can literally give her my love through osmosis. Feed her the good tuna that’s for humans, bathe her, wrap her in a warm blanket and snuggle her, petting her till she falls sleep in my arms and them go on like it never happened.

That also what you should do when someone you love makes a mistake. Like the protocol son, welcome them back with open arms. Throw a dam party because this means they have now made the right choice and even if they haven’t, all that matters is that they are here.

The Second Thing:

I’m royally screwed up in my life time thus far. So bad that I have done things that can’t be taken back, said things i regret, done things I regret, and nearly lost my own life more than once.

It’s been by the grace of God, the heavenly father that I am as unscathed as I am, with VERY few battle scars.

So why do I choose to follow the lord with all my heart? Honestly, I weighted the options. At some point in time I sat back and weighted my options and honestly from a socially perspective for me following Jesus won.

It would be easier in many ways to be an atheist. Never have to be let down by what you thought God was gonna do. No church, no scripture, no gospel music, just science and proven facts that add up all the time. It’s all up to you to make a life live it to the best of your abilities and die. When you die it’s just over, no judgement day, no rules to follow in life, you could drink, and do all the legal drugs, and sleep around and live for what feels good now. (Sorry to all the atheists that read this I feel your anger building as I type, I’m making a point I swear.) I admit to living like this for a period of time. Angry with the “God” I was raised to believe in. If he was real than why was I in so much  pain? Why would he allow it when I begged him on my knees to make it stop?

Ah, but then there is the other side. Live a life of hope. Of greater purpose, of eternal love. Sure that all sounds great. But what if it’s wrong? Then I will have wasted my life being blissfully happy with my made up God. If I’m wrong then I had a imaginary person to lean on in the storm, I had hope when there was none  and I had a dream that was impossible but in my heart believed that God could.

To me the decision was easy. I choose God.

That decision came with some strings attached. No drugs. No alcohol, no sex till marriage, follow the laws of the land, no idols, tell the truth, honor your parents, walk with integrity, be wise, go to church, learn the scripture, ya it’s a lot, cuz that’s just the tip of it.

I have lived both sides and I am here to tell you that one comes with a please I can not describe, a building rock on my chest is gone, the pit in my stomach is gone, the void in my heart is gone. Am I losing some value of life by not having thoes things sure. I suppose I am, but I am made up for it in peace, hope, and love.

Basically I am here to tell you that if your relationships are screwed up, your financially unstable, your failing at your job, you’re missing the point. Quit chasing all the little things and chase God. He will put all those things in your hands for you.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight.

Read that again.

Once more.

See it? It is instructions for life. HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATH STRAIGHT, you need only acknowledge him in all ways.

Here is my little test if you are on the fence about something.

Should i drink this beer excessively?

Ask: Is that God’s best?

If the answer is no then don’t do it. If the answer is yes, then go for it.

Now I’m rambling to go ahead and rip be to shreds in the comments. 🙂

Life Update?

I’m back in school:

I started my MBA at Capella University online using Flex-path, where I work at my own pace. SO far I am 3 classes of 19 classes in. (You do one class at a time.) I’m happy feeling lick I am bettering myself. At least with an MBA I am more marketable as an employee. The economics degree alone is not much for the job market.

The eventual goal will be to get my PhD in like business admin or something… Where ever God leads honestly. But I will be done with my MBA this time next year.

I quit my job:

Yep, I was not being treated correctly by a co-worker and so I left the situation. It was hard. I hated every min of the quitting process but it’s over, I am free of that treatment and I can move forward.

Thats all Folks:

That’s all I got for now. Trying the best I can to enjoy this time of year despite being unemployed. I love Christmas time whether I have job or not.

PS. If you know of anyone hiring in the Pullman, WA/Moscow, ID area… please hit me up. I’m a hard worker and always bring my smile to work. 😉

MERRY 23 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!

 

#YOI: Day 14/365

Two weeks down.

8lbs down.

Feeling 110% better about my choices.

We have hit a little bump in the road. We don’t love the devotional we are currently doing so we are revamping this week. Using the Through the Word App.

We also added weekly sermon listening which I did this morning. Courtesy of Joel Osteen, and Lakewood church.

Also more planning of meals and better strategies preparation in meal planning. This way when I come home tired and hungry I can just go to my pre planed prepped meal and not to the “eat every thing but the kitchen sink” which was what I was doing still staying within my calories.

It’s hard. I will admit. I have wanted to quit. But then I remember how good its going to feel one year from now looking back and feeling better/healthier.

Dear Kyra,

You can do this. You are capable of being healthy. You are worth being healthy. You need to honor God with your body and if it’s too unhealthy to serve his needs then your failing. Serve as an example to every over weight girl out there who doesn’t think she can do it. Be the example that shows that it’s never too late to change to become the best you. Yes, you have a long road ahead but it’s a whole lot longer when you haven’t started. At least now you are started, and moving forward. Don’t worry about the time its taking, or the numbers on the scale, trust the process. Trust that the lord will help you when you ask for help. Trust that he will guide you though this, and help you.

Love you girl,

Kyra
