Grandma

Dec. 3, 2009 my grandma, Gail was told she had cancer. As I heard these words from the month of my mother I really was not worried. I new that my Lord would take care of her. You see, growing up I always wanted to be like her. I wanted to have a family just like the one she had. Every time that they ate they sat at the dinner table. It was so cool. Something we did not have. Her and my grandpa we so happy, it was like the relationship that every man and woman should have! When I married my husband, Scott and we had are first fight I went to grandma and I told her what happened. She always new what to tell me to do to make it all ok. Her "little seceret". I found it odd that she new what to say, and it really worked binging that I had not seen her and grandpa fight before. I kept finding myself on her door for advice about what to do when things were going the way I thought they should. The way her and grandpa's love life was kept me motivated. Time and time again she told me the same thing... Then one day she told me how mad she was at grandpa, I was stunned. I listened to her talk, and you know, she was mad at him a lot!!!! But she always loved him and they always worked right thru it. Now I look at my marriage and I see it is perfect, just like hers. :) She is so strong. I know that her faith in what the Bible says about marriage kept hers strong, as will the faith about God's promise will keep her strong with her illness. I still want to be just like her. I would love to just take some of the load off her. Today I seen her hair just falling out, and to me she is just as lovely as ever. I know that God is going to keep her safe and hold her in his hand. Grandma has always been my back bone growing up, and now it is my turn to give her some faith.

A Walk with Christ

Today I was thinking how wonderful it would have been for me to have known Christ throughout my childhood and early adult life. I look back and I would give anything to have walked with him all those years! What choices I would have made differently then what I did. Where would I be right now? What would I be doing? You know.....now that I think about it I was walking Jesus then as well as I walk with him today. WOW He was there all along, guiding me to who I am and what I have become today. I did not make some good choice's, but He was one of the best!

I In Feb. 2007 I asked Jesus to come into my life, and was Baptized at Circle Drive Baptist Church on a Sunday night with my husband, Scott and daughter, Sadie. I remember standing at the top of the stairs looking down on my daughter as Pastor Jack baptized her, and it was like an over whelming peace. Every choice I ever made that was bad seamed to be nothing but pebbles of loss thoughts. I was whole again. I felt almost floating with joy as it was my turn. It was a very wonderful feeling to share with them both. I know that my kids are walking with him and that is the best feeling ever. Now three years down the road...here I am, exactly where God knew I would be. His plan...His time...I am his!

My Faith that Prayers are Answered

I believe that God knows everything that is going to happen in my life before it happens. I know he had my plans set for me before I was ever conceived by my parents. I know that my life is in the best hands of all. About four months ago I found a lump in one of my breast. I went to the doctor and I had a test ran and the spot that I found was not seen on the film, but they did find something in another spot. Now I am going to see another doctor. I have the faith that the greatest healer of all is going to take care of this. I know that when I go to the doctor that this lump is going to be nothing to worry about. In Psalm 91 9-11 it says If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge-then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. I believe this with all my heart. I know that if I put all my faith and trust in the Lord Jesus he will heal me. His father, our God, made him the greatest healer of all!! Isn't that wonderful??!!!

This is my Family

I give glory to God for four of my most treasuresdgifts that he has given me. My very loving husband of 14 years Scott, and our 3 kids, Sadie, Brittany, and Garret. I met Scott when I was only 16 years old. He is the love of my life. I am proud to be the wife of this man and the mother of these kids. God has blessed me!!!
