There's Something About Alisha

Now that school's out, I have some free time and the strong urge to blog. About anything and everything! It's All Random! This entry started back in August and I'm finally getting around to it. 

My favorite color is Brilliant--anything brilliant, bright & colorful.

I prefer crunchy over creamy peanut butter because it's peanuttier!

I am, without a shadow of a doubt, addicted to Diet Coke.

My eyes are from birth, not from contacts.

I write in every book I own.

I have been given way more than my share of second chances in my life and I, to the best of my ability, "Pay It Forward" by helping others when I can.

I am creative. If I were to use one word to describe myself, creative is what it would be.

I adore highlighters, markers, crayons, pens, colored pencils & paint.

I have Post-it Notes stuck everywhere. Always.

I am a list maker.

I wear an eye mask to bed. Always.

I am a junk food junkie.

I heart vintage.

I collect: funky ashtrays, vintage pillowcases, vintage saucers & fabric.

I love to exercise. I am far from thin, but I am fit.

I love College and it loves me. 

Motherhood is a perfect fit for me. 

Tangled Up in View

Since Christ has transformed me and is first in my life, I've been getting lots of mixed reviews. The greater percentage of people are complimentary towards me. I also get a percentage of disbelief and fabricated smiles. Surely you know by now (if you read anything that I've written), that I do not in any way, shape or form, claim to be perfect. I am not. I am me. ALWAYS. No matter who's present.

I could fill you full of fairy tales and say the fabricated smiles and looks of disbelief do not bother me, but they do. I find myself spending more and more time alone and yet, I am not lonely. I turn to Him.

Matthew 7:13-20


13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
