Do you believe in miracles?

Miracle

noun mir·a·cle \ˈmir-i-kəl\

Simple Definition of miracle

  • : an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God
  • : a very amazing or unusual event, thing, or achievement

This is the definition for Miracle by Merriam-Webster! I wanna tell you a story of a girl who is a miracle.

She was born into a family consisting of a mother and father, both separated when she was born, she also has two older sisters as well. This was her:


1 lb 13 oz this little baby was!! She was 3 months early that is roughly 24 weeks old! A new born baby is born normally born at 40 weeks old!! That’s 9 months exactly!!

If you’re wondering how this little baby turned out to be let me show you:

butts up

tiny tiny

sleeping beauty


hooray she can eat! :)


Yep she survived. They had to put a steroid shot into her lungs to help her breathe and she had a NG (nasogastric) tube in her to help her eat until she could finally eat on her own. She was at the hospital for those 3 months that she was supposed to be in her mothers womb!! Eventually she got to go home and lived a life, yes with some problems developmentally and with her lungs. She turned out to be okay!!

I personally believe this little baby was and is a miracle!!! I think that it is not okay for this new rule to abort late term babies or even babies at any term. In my opinion, God places babies on the Earth for a reason, not to be killed!!! Now I know some people may rebate this saying “There is no God” or “why would God allow babies to happen out of rape” or “babies that are small are just cells why not abort!” I have answers to all of these. I think that if a woman is raped, it’s not her fault 100% and she could have the baby and then have someone adopt the baby! Or if not then the family take care of the baby!! Babies are cells when they are in the womb but they also have heartbeats which means they’re alive!! Why would you wanna kill something inside you? There is a God who loves you, whoever is reading this, more than you know and you can have a loving relationship with Him if you choose to!

Now, I know not everyone is going to agree with me. I know in my heart what is right and wrong and I think abortions are absolutely wrong! I do believe in miracles! If you were wondering who that little baby was in the pictures above, twas I! When I was a baby, now a lot older, healthy and grown up, I am thankful my mom didn’t abort me and I am thankful that I am a miracle to see how I am today! This blog post isn’t to down other peoples opinions, but it’s to state my own and to see that a little 1 lb 13 oz baby is a miracle and so are those who were born early and it’s not okay to abort no matter the term the baby is born!! MY OPINION! So if you have any questions or want to know about my story, feel free to drop a line. I’d like to hear your opinion on this matter!! Have a blessed day!!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
