lots to talk about

So much running thru my head:
  • School- It's the girls first day back to school. Say a prayer for them and all the teachers...that includes all my friends.
  • Prayer- Christy's (a dear old friend...no she's not old, our friendship is! haha!) husband needs prayer for strength in facing surgery....we all know that can be scary
  • Blog- I have been getting comments recently on my blog, from people around the world. All of your feedback and encouragement means so much. I say that I know I lived to be here for my girls, but I have always felt like it was also to help others learn to live each day, not to take life for granted as I did, to live positively, and to try and be the best benefit to others that you can be. I just recently realized that I also really need to focus on showing others how God has worked in me by expressing and showing how he works through me. I want each of you to know that I am seriously taking the challenge of showing others I am a Christian by my actions, not just my words. I challenge each of you as well, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to write, what I am so blessed that you read.
  • Church- When people say the words "When I really felt the spirit of God.." I automatically think about when I went to Aunt Shirley's family church in the hills of West Virgina as a teenager and sang. The church was small, but the spirit was large, and I lifted my voice even though I have never been known to sing. Their choir was led by a girl with Downs Syndrome. I felt the spirit so much that day it enfolded me and I remember thinking that it was the most comforting happy feeling...just elation. God is Good! Well, I am reminded of it every morning when Quito and I listen to my old time Gospel music as I get ready. They have started playing this song and it reminds me of that time in my life. I start my mornings soooo happy! I wanted to share with you the song and say a special Thanks to Aunt Shirley and Uncle Jerry for allowing me to have the precious memories: (turn up your sound for this one) http://praisegathering.com/sounds/gg2226_1_01.mp3
  • Rebel- Our big baby girl inside who went to college with us, and has been with us thru marriage, kids, and yes even cancer. She brings us such joy, and bless her heart enjoyment at watching her be tormented by the newest member of the family, Quito. Rebel is 13 years old today.
  • Robert- Sunday is our 12th anniversary....and yes we have been trough it all together including laughter and tears, in sickness and in health. Thank you Pookie! I love you with almost (God, the kids, cats, etc have a good chunk! haha!) all of my heart!
Hope all of yall have a great weekend!
God Bless!

mouse

A girl I work with's daughter was in the Mexican resturant eating when she felt something lick and nibble her foot. She looked under the table and saw...yep you guessed it....a mouse. She screams, kicks the mouse and looks and the mouse can't run...she's broke it's leg. So the waiters got the mouse, and she got her meal for free, but she couldn't eat it! haha! Moral of the story. Wear shoes in that resturaunt, cause the food may be raw. haha! Couldn't resist! Have a great weekend! God Bless!

yesterday and today

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY late to the Cuz! I can't believe that I didn't say it yesterday! She is being teased that she is a lot older than what she is so just for her Happy 49th Birthday Charla!!! haha! On another note it was Vic's Birthday yesterday as well and I know I blogged that her Dad was doing better, but yesterday morning in his sleep he lost his battle. I know it is true that they are better off, but it is still hard on the family. Please pray for her and Vanna, and the entire family. Aunt Shirley made it to WV to see her Dad who is holding strong. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and their families. God Bless!

strength

Some days we don't feel as though we have the strength to do much of anything.  To get up, to eat, to not eat, to fight the daily battle of traffic, work, or relationships....why?  Mainly because we lose our confidence.  Our confidence in the ability to "handle" things.  Remember the verse: "I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13.    We have talked before about how we are not alone, but we have not discussed how the devil attacks our confidence in the ability to achieve.  The ability that when we are doing what the Lord wants we can accomplish it through Him...not alone.  Repeatedly through the Bible God says that he will not forsaken us for he is with us.  If you have a doubt about something, first is it something that God wishes, second if it is then know that the devil is in play...including the attempted breakdown of your inner strength.  After you realize that keep telling yourse...
