Caroline Eloise Barker

I don't know that anyone ever checks this anymore
and thats okay :) I haven't .. done a thing on here in a really long time
but
today, i will share my heart

Caroline Eloise Barker Born into the Arms of Jesus on September 15th 2007.
As i sat in the waiting room of the Hospital downtown memphis, i felt so helpless.. This i haven't felt in a long time! Tyson was next to me, being amazing, and my mom was on the other side.. her sobs told me what was happening.. I never thought this would happen. HOW did this happen?

minutes later we were called to go back into the hospital room with my brother mike and his wife alli. We walked in and I thought i saw relief on my brothers face, he was holding their baby- we held her for six hours, and loved on mike and alli. I have never loved my brother more than in this moment, he was the one who was comforting all of the people who came to see them.
How lovely is your dwelling place
O LORD almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the LORD;
My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the Sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself
where she may have her young- a place near your alter,
O LORD Almighty , My King and my GOD
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

O Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper n the house of my GOd than dwell in the tents of the wicked
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor
no good thing does he withhold from those who walk in blameless
o LORD ALmighty, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.
PSALM 84

I thank you Jesus for your grace and love- thank you for pouring comfort over my beautiful family

Though this has happened- i have been so so extremely blessed!!!!! TYSONS SISTER IS HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!
Which means... i will have another precious baby to love!! This baby will be so loved and prayed over- Already her health and safety are in my prayers :) Praise Jesus for life- Praise Jesus for healing!!

Lions sleep 20 hours a day
only eat every 2-3 days
they eat 64 pounds of meat.. when they do eat...
reminds me of tyrone..

hippo's
eat 165 pounds of grass and plants.. a DAY!!!

AND
Elephants.. eat 20 hours a day

ok i don't know if that part is true...
about the elephants..
but.. the rest is

how amazing


I wish I was a lion..
minus the meat part.. but.. i suppose i wouldn't care about being a vegetarian then.. because.. meat wouldn't hurt my stomach.. it would make me happy..

steinbeck-i love his books...

"people are not crazy, they are simply ones that God has not finished." Steinbeck

I love this quote... it paints a beautiful picture! Usually the ones that society demeans and consider crazy are the most talented. THey paint elaborate stories on canvas, and draw the best of pictures on paper. they write the novels that you can't seem to take your eyes off of and many more great things!

and another great one

"After the bare requistites of living and reproducing, man wants most to leave some record of himself, a proof, perhaps that he really extists. He leaves his proof on wood, on stone or on the lives of other people." steinbeck

I believe this desire lives deep and exists in everyone...it does in me... why else would i try and write the best song, the catchiest tune.. and do retarded things... haha.. I want to be remembered.. I want to leave my mark on people...
Praise Jesus.. He left his mark on me... and His saving grace rescued me from myself! He left his mark on wood, and stone.. and in hearts or sooo many people.. i love him.. woot

ha, blogger.com....what in the world..

the fourth of July... I want to shoot fireworks.. off... yea yea!
I keep thinking about my home.. Cadillac.. Michigan
what a cool name for a town, Cadillac... what like the car?
no.. idiot... not the car.. its just a town name.. relax....
uhh i want to tell you facts about my little cute town
it has a ... nine mile radius.... it is 2/3 water... (we have two manmade lakes.. how cute!)
IT has a canal that refuses to freeze in the blistering winter, because the warm water from the lakes push into the canal when they freeze... this canal is in the book of world records...
we have one drive through coffee shop.. which my mom runs.. (shes hott)
my town, Cadillac... has the highest teen pregnancy rate for any county in all of MICHIGAN
we also have the highest drug abuse in our public school than any other county in Michigan

haha.. those last two.. are real
I love Cadillac.. I am excited to go home, I want to be there now....I am proud of my town.. minus... the girls who pop out babies.. and the white trashy stoners
oh i forgot one... we have a lot of.. little flies.. that fly around your head...(which you can find anywhere im sure)... BUT.. if you put your hands up and clasp them together over your head.. they will leave your face around and fly around your hands.. because.. they like the highest point of your body.. so.. throw your hands up.. woop woop
