Welcome 2011

Well another year is here, they seem to go so fast, faster each year.   So many things are changing, my boys are both grown, my oldest is married.   I'm looking forward to them starting their own little family ONE day.  We were lucky enough to have them here with us for Christmas eve and Christmas morning again this year.  Both my boys were gone for Thanksgiving.  Grace is growing like a weed.   She started piano lessons this past year (and is doing great), she cheered and continues to take dance lessons.  Never a dull moment with her around.

As every year comes to an end and a new one approaches, I make my resolutions as most people do, and then I don't keep them.

I'm going to try and do better this year.  But here they are:

1. Read the bible in a year, there is a program (or a layout, I should say) that gives you certain things to read each day   This is my biggest goal, I hope to stick with it and finish this up next December.   Here is the link if you'd like to join me,  Click Here

2. Next, I really need to loose some weight and just be healthier.  forget I have 2 meds that help ADD weight.

3. I want to let things go that bother me, people that don't want to be in our lives, just not worry about it.  Not deal with the drama.   I wont put myself in those positions anymore, or my daughter.  Its not fair to us.

4. Get more involved - in anything, something

5. Go to church more regularly, get Grace involved.   She has always set with us at church, even though she goes to school there.  weird I know.

6. In general, just be a better me!

Well I have a ton of work to do now!   I hope that you have a very Wonderful New Year and I pray that  God blesses you in this year.   I also pray that all my new found friends that are waiting to travel to bring their little ones hope have a safe journey.   Wouldn't it be awesome, if every child had a loving parent.   I remember reading in the paper a few weeks ago about the young mother who watched and allowed her son to be hurt hanging in a closet by other kids.  I sat and cried, I don't understand how anyone could hurt an innocent child.   I know I got sidetracked there.  

God Bless and much love

In all the blogs I read over the last four years, I've not seen this quote before. I sent a friend a chain letter and she sent me this back.

It is by Maya Anelgelou

Love recognizes no barriers, it jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

She said or in my case, it spans oceans!

A Girlfriend sent me this and I thought I'd share it with you!



I LOVE YOU!!

YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES TO TELL 10 FRIENDS THAT YOU LOVE THEM (INCLUDING ME)

Because TOMORROW'S NOT PROMISED. SO I LOVE YOU! GO! I believe in prayer. It's the

best way to draw strength from heaven.

PASS THIS ON.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MAY BE IN NEED!!! God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.' Father, God, bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their lives be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen. Now send it on to other people. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.

P.. S. more is better; who else do you know that needs prayer? Make it a Wonderful Day!!

A quick post

To all my blogger friends. I've had so much going on lately that I havent really had a chance to finish posting our trip or much else, let alone keep up with most of you.

You all have come to mean so much to me, its like I've known you all for some time. This is something my DH does not understand. He looks at me a little funny when I start talking about something Carson or one of other kids did, and he'll say WHAT? Then it occurs to him who I'm talking about.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you that you are an important part of my life and I pray that God will continue to bless you and keep you safe.

Also, has anyone heard how Carrie is doing? My heart is still so heavy for her and her loss, I think of her alot. It makes me hug Grace a little tighter every day.

I just sit in awe of her everyday and know how much God has blessed my life. He gave this precious little girl to me.

Well I could ramble on and on, but must go get ready for work. I got to sleep a little later today, going to have some blood work done on the way in.

I hope you each have a great day.
