I am asking everyone to please pray for my family. We are having a hard trial at this point and we need all the prayers that we can get.
God is the only way that we will have the courage, strength and know how to handle this.
Please pray for our family.
Thank you and may God bless you all.

God gave me a wonderful gift...
4 years ago at 2:00 pm I began a new part of my life. God blessed me with something and someone that I never believed would happen.
It all begin on December 18, 2004- The phone call was made and the first time to date was set. Later that afternoon of course. He says that he called to make sure that I had given him a real number. We worked together and he was my friend at work but that was it and we had talked for awhile at work on several occasions and one day we left at the same time and he asked me for my number after we had talked for almost an hour that day. So the next day I was working my second job and he called. I got butterflies inside just thinking about him and talking to him. Later that afternoon he came over and it all began from there.
We soon set out for what we both new would be the beginning of a long relationship.
March of 2005- He got down on his knee and took my hand with his hand shaking. He asked me if would marry him, and of course my reactions was an immediate yes with tears flowing down my face.
So we set off that night to tell the parents and they were all glad except my parents took a little convincing because they thought it was too soon and that they would not have time because my brother was getting married in April 2005. They soon came around and we began to finish up the details for one wedding and start planning for ours. I remember my dad calling and asking had we set a date yet because he needed to know if my wedding was going to get the money or was the fertilizer for the pastures going to get it. Which brings us to
August 20 2005- Our wedding day was so hot, but wonderful. Our wedding was in our home church. We attend a country church in a small town which was always a dream of my to one day marry in a small country church. I got dressed an friends and family were coming in and out to see me and talk with me. Doodle Bug(my step daughter) came running in to tell me that she was not happy because her aunts were messing with her daddy's truck. I told her it would be okay and she said fine, but she Daddy is going to be mad. Then that was followed by my brother to tell me that my cake was finally there but she was having to re ice it because she had put in the trunk of her car and it melted(do I need to remind you that I got married in AUGUST. She fixed the cake but my dad was upset because that was suppose to be a special day and my day (always looking out for his baby girl) but it turned out okay I guess. Well the time had come, all the guest were in their seats, the parents had been seated, the candles had been taken care of, the flower girl had walked the isle and charmed every ones heart in her bare feet and pretty little dress. Then it was my turn and my dad walked me down the isle but not before asking me if I was sure for the hundredth time. This was one thing in my life that I had never been more sure about. So the doors were opened and there was my future handsome husband waiting. Our ceremony began, we did the unity candle and then we had a song played that meant a lot to both of us and where we had been in our lives and where we were going. The song Bless the broken road by Rascal Flats was played and he sang the entire song to me, I tried to sing also but all I could do is cry, happy tears of course, and then the vows were done and it was over I was a married women and my dreams of a wonderful Godly man had come true.
That is a over view of our dating, engagement and our wedding.
I am so pleased that God found it in his heart to bless me with a wonderful, handsome, Godly man. I spend my time with my husband cherishing every minute and thanking God each day for my blessing.
I love you baby and hope you have a wonderful day and that God blesses us with many more years together. You are a wonderful part of my life and could not make it day to day without you and God. I LOVE YOU!!

Having a good week
Hope everyone is having a good week in blog world. Yesterday was a typical Monday at work. Extremely busy, people were not nice, I think that the world must have been extra grumpy because it was Monday. After a long day of nothing going the way it should, I finally made it home and my niece and sister in law came to eat supper with us and we ended up getting a hamper of peas, they stayed and helped us shell them(a big thanks to them). After the day it turn out to be a wonderful day and evening. With God showing his face in our family and in the conversations, and just to spend time with family.
We can find blessings in the good, bad, busy, and hard times if we just look.

Watching God Work
As you may know that we had a family friend get hurt a couple of weeks ago. He is still in a lot of pain but is home and recovering thanks to God being so merciful. This past Saturday we had our monthly bible study at the house and our friend was able to come along with about 19 others from our church. We had a wonderful devotional given, followed by discussion time. If we really listened close God was speaking loud. It was a wonderful time as always to open our home to not only our friends but those who are like minded when it comes to Christ. After church on Sunday we went down to my sister in laws house, we had another friend that stopped my husband and thank him that he thought about him when our friend got hurt that someone needed to call him and let him know, His words to my husband were that "He was glad that he thought about calling him, that it gave him goose bumps and a wonderful feeling to know he cared enough about him for him to call."
This was a thought from my husband but we never realize how something so simple could mean so much to someone and show them God at the same time.
God will appear every minute of everyday if we just listen and pay attention.

This is for the ladies...
Subject: mermaid or whale
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym... It said: ¨THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID, OR A WHALE? ¨A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life; they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins -stuffing themselves with shrimp and other delicacies of the sea. They play and swim in the oceans, seeing exotic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia... Whales are excellent singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of psychoanalysts due to an identity crisis. Fish or human? Human or fish? They can't have a sex life, because they kill the men they lure close to them. Therefore, they can't experience the joys of motherhood. They are purported to be exceedingly vain and capricious. Not only that, who wants to be near a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.
P.S: We are=2 0in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who still makes me shiver and a coffee with m y friends. With time, we gain weight, because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that, when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So, we aren't heavy; we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror, I will think, "Good gosh! Look how smart I am".
