Thankful

HI!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Matt is done with school he made straight A's.
He is homeschooled he did SOS complete grade set. My son Josh joined the band "The Lesser Light" and played the Hard Rock in Nashville, Tn which is about forty five minutes away. They have several dates coming up and will be in the studio in August. J.D. is working harder than ever
but never complaines. Me I'm always doing the same getting to enjoy summer and the boy's.
I am so very blessed God has been so good and continues to bless me every day of my life through the good and bad in my life he continues to teach me and help me become the person he intends for me to be. I can't imagine my life with out him. I hope and pray to let go of all the strongholds in my life that are holding me back from his will for me. and to be willing to do anything he wants of me, with the kind of open arms he has for me and everyone. May God Bless you and this day.

I hope all is well in your world today and may God bless you all.

"JESUS" There is something about that name.

WOW I can't even imagine my life without him even though there was a short period there were I wasn't giving him what he so deserves from all, I have really come to a point in my life were it isn't about anything and I mean ANYTHING but his will and I have had to be willing to give up, leave behind, and walk only with him. It has been hard, and it has hurt, and it is lonesome at times in the human world but I love him more. May you come to that. God Bless!

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

Before I got up this morning I was lying in bed and praying and thinking about some things on my mind and it came to me It's not about how "I" feel or what "I" think and I thought about JOB and all he lost and went through and how faithful he continued to be and I thought about the story behind the song IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL and if you don't know it you can pull it up on internet but here is a little bit of the story and how the hymn came to be. A chicago lawyer had suffered unimaginable tradegy he lost his only son at four to scarlet fever and he was into real estate and the great chicago fire destroyed all of his holdings aware of the toll it had taken on his family he decided to take his wife and four daughters on a trip to England and to help out his friend the famous D. L. Moody and at the last minute a business deal stopped him from going but his wife and four daughters went on ahead of him and the vessel had colided with another and all four daughters died and many days later he recieved a message from his wife that said "SAVED ALONE" They later had another daughter and she said during her fathers voyage passing through were the vessel had sank the captain called and told him of that being the area and he returned to his cabin and wrote IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. Who am I...

I hope this day bring's you all life has to offer, Here in middle tennessee it's stormy and I hope you are at a place in your life that it's not stormy that it is sunny and happy, We all go through difficult times in our lives, It doesn't make it any easier to deal with or handle. I don't know why it seems some people really have a harder road to travel than others and it is usually very good people but i do believe all things happen for a reason. I stand behind Proverbs 3 5-6.
Trust in the lord with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. I have lived by this and I don't claim to know your personal situation and play it down by" any means " I just know this is how I have and still do get through those most difficult times... And lately, since putting out my book and really seeking God's word I have been tested over and over and it's one of the hardest things to go through. I wish all my family and friends all the blessings life has to offer and I thank Jesus for dying on the cross and rose from the dead so that if we believe we may have eternal life. He is my risen savior. Happy Easter!

Missing My Mom

Gosh life would seem so much easier if I still had my mom even though she couldn't change things just having her here made it all better. I wish I had her here to give a big hug and kiss to.
But her quality of life was not good for many years, and she struggled alot she was purely amazing she never complained or played the victum even though she was in alot of ways. One day I will get to be with her again thats what gets me through these day's but there has been this place in my heart that hasn't been the same since that day. And today I'm missing her
so much. May God give me what I need daily.

May You Dream.

The tradegy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal, The tradegy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.

Growing Up Or Giving Up.

I'm an extremely passionate person my entire life I've taken what life has given me and despite
how peoples choices, mistakes, decisions, problems can greatly effect us. I have tried to change the world, make and keep everyone happy and made my own life more stressed in the process. So in the past year I decided to work strickly on my relationship with God so I have started dealing with things in a diffrent manner. Well to my surprise I had someone make a statement last week and I've given it alot of thought. They said what is up with you lately? Me, nothing why? I've noticed that anymore with you no matter the situation, circumstance, It's like you break it off from your life and throw it away. ( That is disturbing to me) I can't imagine! I was thinking I was growing up and realizing no matter how much I wish I could change things I just have to let go...(right)? Is that growing up or giving up?

AMERICA

It is sobering, yet beautiful and I cried through the whole video. Watch and you won't be disappointed...http://blip.tv/play/AYGJ5h6YgmE“Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City , Georgia , just south of Atlanta , on June 11, 2009 . The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough , Georgia .. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.The link above is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey. Watch this if you wish to have your faith in America restored.”
