Blogging......

Well, once again I have not kept up with my blog. I am going to try to because it is therapy for me. There are times that when I am blogging God speaks to me and molds me into what I need to be.

Today has been a trying day for me. My life has been spinning out of control. Everything from my schedule, house work, what I am eating, even my sleep schedule is crazy. Well, today God has brought it all to a screeching halt. He has shown Himself to me in MANY ways and has gotten my attention.

I spoke with a very wise friend today that reminded me of all the things I have been forgetting. Like letting God have control and letting go of the control. If He isn't in TOTAL control then everything gets all messed up. I have felt like my life is in a tornado above my head and I can't get anything to go the way it is supposed to! Well, that is what happens when God isn't in control.

I feel like I need to go back to the basics. Get rid of everything that isn't important and just focus on the things that God would have me to. That isn't always easy but it will be worth it!

I will probably not be able to blog every day but I hope to get it back into my regular schedule.

Peace in the Storm.....

It seems that I am seeing storms more and more in the lives of those I love. It is very hard because I am a fixer. I see those around me hurting and I want to make it all better. As this happens, I am learning that it isn't my job to be "the fixer". That is God's job.

Psalm 107: 28 and 29

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.
He calmed the storm to a whisper
and stilled the waves.

We have got to get to the place that when the storms come we cry out to God! He desires to help us and to calm our storms. The problem comes when we try to fix it without asking for God's help first though.

In the midst of our storms, when we ask for God's help first, we can have total peace while the storm rages around us. And then God will calm the storm right before our eyes. I am learning a little each day that as I allow God to calm my storms it makes things so much easier!!!

I am back!!!

Oh how I have missed blogging!!! But I AM BACK!!!! YAY!


This last year has been interesting. I now have Internet again and blogging is like therapy for me so I decided to pick it back up. I may not post a lot but I will be posting.

My kids are all so big now! I have posted new pictures of them on the side. Jacob is now 10 and has the long hair(help me Lord!). We are begging him to cut it but he LOVES it long. He is almost finished with 5th grade and it has been a challenge!!! But he has managed to keep all A's.

Amber is now 6 and has almost finished Kindergarten and she is so smart! I am sure that having an older brother that home schools has helped! We are so excited about 1st grade!! She is now riding her bike without training wheels, I am sure we will have a summer full of walks around the block.

And last but not least is Nathan, he is now 3 almost 4. And he is a wild child! LOL He is counting to 10 very easily and tries to do Amber's school with her. He totally LOVES Bible Man movies.

George and I have been doing well. He is still working and I am still handling homeschooling pretty well. I would love to follow a schedule better. Maybe after our summer break I will be more focused. The last 2 years have been tough for us. My aunt passed away in February of 2009 and my oldest brother passed away August 1st of 2009. We are healing though, one day at a time.

I am now singing on the praise team at our church and LOVE it! Music is like a healing balm for my heart. God is so amazing to us and we are so blessed!

I will soon post again and share my heart on a few things. It is so great to be blogging again and I can't wait to catch up with all of my bloggy friends!

Farewell for now....

I have to say good bye to all of my bloggy friends. I no longer have internet at home so I will not be posting anymore. It has been a great ride........

It has been a while, once again....

It has been a while but I am still here!!! My last post was about Amber's birthday. Well, at her surprise horse party she got lots of gifts and enough money to buy herself a new bicycle!!! She was SO excited!

Here is a little video of her riding. I will update more later. ENJOY!!!!

Special 200th post!!!!

Today is March 19th and it is my 200th post and today is also my sweet little Amber's 5th birthday!!!! I haven't been blogging much but I am still here!

I wanted to share a little bit about my princess Amber. I mostly post her pretty pictures where she is posing like a beauty queen but today I want to show you a few other sides of Amber. She is very girly but she is also silly. Sometimes we just sit back and laugh at her while she puts a show on. She loves to dance and sing. And she loves to make others laugh. She has a very sensitive side to her also. If I get onto her she usually busts into tears and starts saying how sorry she is. She is quick to tell on herself. And she makes friends VERY easily. We can go to the park and within minutes she is playing with someone.

I love this little girl with all of my heart and I am SO glad that God has blessed me with her!

Here are a few pictures of my little Birthday girl!

Making a silly face for the camera.
