hairy

So proud today.   Ele and Eme are getting their haircut.   Ele lost her beautiful goldilocks at the age of two, due to a fever.   When it grew back in, it grew back in.   At the age of 7 she decided to donate it to locks of love….on my 2 nd “birthday” more so because it was Val day.   You can see it here.   The second time Ele cut her hair, she wasn’t alone in having it cut.   Eme cut hers too. You can see them together here.   Now, they do it again today.   Ele is making her third donation and Eme her second…..wow!   Ele keeps saying she’s just going to keep growing and cutting, growing and cutting.   I realize that some day she will choose not to do so, and that is ok, but for today I will live.   For today I will hold my girls and thank God I am alive…and that they help others from the goodness of their hearts…..as Ele says, “We’re not lucky….we’re blessed!” God Blesses!

up and down

Emotions go up and down.  We get upset and cry when low and squeal and smile when happy.  But wait!  What about the side-ways emotion.  The positive would say enjoy those days...others are waiting for the bottowm to fall out of the elevator.  Yesterday after Ele's appt we went to get on the elevator and Robert stopped and pulled his hand back, tilting his head to the side, and said, "look at that!"...to which we all immediately looked right....duh!  So I had to take a pic as Robert stood in the elevator doorway telling me to hurry up.  Hope yall have peace when you aren't up or down. God Blesses!

MORNING

Ele cant hang with the Harry Potter crew....the morning after is ruff....

dies

Heard this on the radio (Insight for Living) and LOVED it. "Nothing of God Dies, when a person of God dies." Amen.  God Blesses!

inspiration

Sometimes we may think that life's breakthrough moments are "inspired".  They just came to us and we had this realization and we acted.  It is often contributed to, gut reaction, creativity, awareness or my favorite....talent.  When Granny was in a tornado almost 25 yrs ago all the local tv stations came to our house to interview her.  When asked what saved her, she responded to each one with...."THE GOOD LORD!"  Now that's REAL inspiration!  Tell it like it is...all those things which are good and we want the "credit" for.....give it where it is due...Glory to God! God Blesses!

Bible Verse

Lovin the verse for today!  Miracles happen!  Amen for that.  I wakeup in the mornin, thankful and praisin before my feet hit the floor.  Faith, prayers, grace, and love are promises God gives daily.  We just have to open our eyes.  Open your eyes yall!  God Blesses! Psalm 30:2 () 2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,and you have healed me.

The Cuz just sent me this....had to post it.  LOOOOVE IT! She wrote:   I just got this from a friend and OMG it is YOU!!!! Too funny!! The Pity Train has just derailed at the intersection of Suck It Up & Move On, and crashed into We All Have Problems, before coming to a complete stop at Get the Heck Over It. Any complaints about how we operate, can be forwarded to 1-800-waa-aaah with Dr. Sniffle Reporting LIVE from Quitchur Gripin'. If you like this send it on. If you don't...suck it up princess! Life doesn't revolve around you. Isn't this just the most hilarious thing?! Love ya!

Angel

Goin to work on church for VBS and from the back of the car you hear Lex says, "Eme I have a question.  Why are you wearing white?"  Eme blinks at her and you hear Ele pop off with, "She thinks she's an angel!"  They all start laughin!

Parents

Ele finally got skinny jeans! Eme bought out the store for her birthday!  Oh...and Robert teared up standing outside of the dressing room.  I think the reality of a soon to be middle schooler rocked us both!  Thank you Jesus!  LIVE UR LIFE! God Blesses!
