Question: Is there anyone better than Whitney Houston....like 10 years ago...maybe longer?
I swear, if I didn't have a first cousin that I see on a daily bases I would name this girl Whitney. Of course after my girl Whitney Houston (well and my cousin whitney...hola).
I totally have a dream of singing like the gospel black women. Is that politically correct?
Seriously, I can't listen to Whitney without imaging myself singing JUST LIKE HER! She soars with the eagles. My spirit is totally got Black (again with the politically correct, I feel bad saying that, but seriously I LOVE THEM) tendencies....I dream of jamming, and singing like them. My body isn't really up to date with my spirit if you know what I mean....
Anyways. The point is that this baby girl is not a mover. Grace was having a PARTY in my belly for 10 months. Seriously, from 15 weeks on, she was practicing for the Olympics. She NEVER slept, she moved ALL DAY AND NIGHT. This little one is a sleeper. She doesn't move. She slept through her whole ultrasound. Maybe if I am lucky she will move a few times each day. BUT tonight I was feeling the Whitney love. And guess what...baby girl was mov'in and a shak'in! Seriously, I ran to Spencer so he could feel. She stopped....
So I was frustrated. I went back to feeling the love...INSTANTLY she started jamm'in again. Seriously, my girl loves Whitney! I can't wait to introduce her to Hairspray...she'll love it.
Other news. I got a B in my A & P class. Guys, I am not kidding here. God seriously LOVED me this semester. I don't know how else to explain that grade. I seriously would pray durning tests
"heavenly father, I know I didn't study, but can you please help me here...."
And you know what...I would make CRAZY guesses, and I would get them RIGHT! Seriously...I am NOT joking. My testimony for his power and love is like SKY HIGH! Because guys...I am not the brightest crayon in the box. Seriously, i'm not really street smart, and I'm not really book smart either. My talents lay in spending money, cooking, the art of relaxation...you know really important stuff. So this was HUGE! I could just go on and on, but seriously, the man was really nice to me this semester! Thanks!
Also, I have been feeling the tithing love lately! I can't even tell you the whole story...it is way to long. But seriously I always knew it would bring blessings, but I just didn't know HOW AMAZING it really was. I am so grateful for the lords blessing in our lives. It just seems so unfair that we give so little, and receive so much in return.
As I was running this morning. Ok, lets not call it running. It was walking, with brief periods of jogging. Anyways, while I was running I was listening to Whitney. Not Houston, but my cousin. It turns out that she was a really good voice as well. She sings "Because I have been given much". I haven't ever really payed much attention to the words, but I was really struck by them today. I just feel like that song explains my life right now. We have been so abundantly blessed for doing nothing. I can't explain it. I feel like I am bragging, but I just really feel so loved, and blessed. I was just so touched by our Saviors great plan of happiness.
I go back and forth with making this blog completely private to myself, so that I don't feel so weird writing about spiritual things on my blog for everyone to read. Maybe I just feel like it is all so personal to me. But I really want to remember these times.

Jami- Don't go private. Just get yourself a spiritual journal. My sister got me to do one. It is in my scripture bag. I call it my "small plates." Anyway, anytime I have a spiritual experience I right it there. I also use it to right thoughts that come to me during church and general conference.
PS don't sell yourself short in the smarts department! You can do anything you really put your mind to!!
I totally saw you walking up 8th street and i was gonna pick you up but I assumed you werent just stranded you were working out. you look like a sexy pro out there :)
First of all, you are hilarious, but on a completely serious note, it's so true how little we give and how much we receive. Such a blessing. Now go jam out to some more Whitney...Houston that is haha.
Yay for blessings! I know how you feel about having so much for giving so little.
And I'm glad you aren't going private. Never feel bad for anything you post on your blog. I love to read the personal stuff because it seems more real. And it's not bragging at all. If you can't share happy things on YOUR blog that no one is FORCED to read, then why have blogs in the first place? plus, pres. packard or somebody said to use blogs to start church conversations or something.
HOORAY FOR THE B!!!! A and P is ridiculously hard and I'm waaaaaaay proud of you!
Sorry this is the longest comment ever.
1. If you go private I will never read your blog again. Not as a personal vendetta, but simply because I can't read it in Google reader and can't be bothered to read anything outside of google reader.
2. That shouldn't necessarily affect your decision. Do what you want.
3. "My talents lay in spending money, cooking, the art of relaxation...you know really important stuff." You are so funny—you can add that to your list of talents. I laughed when I read that.
4. Can I order essential oil through you or do I have to sign up first? I don't really want to sign up because I hate commitment. But I need to buy some oil for a christmas present.
I love your blog. I too love that song and ball everytime I hear it, it is awesome. I am glad you are feeling the blessing's the Lord has in store for each of us. Thank you for sharing.
Name her whitney. Do it. Jami one day your voice will soar with the eagles too.
