Blessed

I want to say thank you to my one and only blog follower.. Sharon thank you for always encouraging me, what a blessing you are to me.  I sure wish i could swing over to your house and enjoy a cup of joe and visit about life and all the journeys God has taken us on...  But until your closer i'll just keep our memories close to my heart..  You will always have a special place in my heart sweet friend.. Thanks again

Just checking in

So I find my self wondering why do i have a blog ??? 
 And I just keep thinking, to have a link for my comments on other blogs. 
So why is it that i think other blogs have so much more to offer, And that i don't...
  Well i do I have a great family, I have a good mind and heart , I'm creative, just like the 

rest of them. it all comes down to a lack of confidence.. 

If there is anyone out there reading this can you give me some pointers on over coming this... 

Thanks

A Change is coming

This year seems to be the year for changes... 
Somethings I'm hoping to change are losing some weight 
how about 40-50 pounds and going to the Y on a regular bases.

Growing in my dependency on God and not people. If I can build up the confidence 
I will post my updates on my weight here on a regular bases. So here is to a new look and insight for 2011. 
Lord help me :)

The Mark

What does it mean to measure up?
I try to find my place in this big o world and every time I come up short. How does one find there place. If you don't have the look then you need the money and if your a christian then you better have faith to move mountains. If your a mom you better have a routine, if your a wife you better please your husband, if your a friend you will never say anything to offend them.  Boy the pressures are huge. And then I wonder why I struggle with depression.. Hummmmm 
Oh how I hope one day the Lord with give me a content heart with my self and those around me.  

Speechless

This post is so hard for me to write yet so needed... 


As I've said before I look at a lot of blogs and can really get attached okay so  maybe I've never really shared my addiction with blogs . One of those blogs is Life in Grace, by Edie.I found her through another blog I'm sure ( I'm sure it was one sharing about her turquoise kitchen) but from that time I have enjoyed her so much and enjoy her positive outlook on life.  With that said here is why this posted is so hard for me just after Christmas I read a blog sharing about (Edie's) her loss and I kept thinking no way how terrible for someone so blessed to face such a tragedy as this and to my surprise it was true. Then today there was a sneaky post from one of her friends to link to Edie's site and share our story of how Edie has touched our lives. So here is my thoughts to her on her very special day.. 
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Edie Happy birthday to you!!!!

Thank you for letting God use you and for all the blessings you give. Hope you are feeling his love and peace today. You are in our prayers and thoughts often.. 
Blessing to you and your family

Aint life grand

Its amazing how from one day to the next things can change.. Kinda like the change of fall leaves. 
One day your vibrant and so alive to the next you are dried up and brittle. What's so amazing is how with every changing stage we can either embrace it or reject it. And today I have decided to embrace it and let the 
changes shape me not define me. Okay that sound so grand yet so challenging. But I am determined to let the roots of God strengthen me and make me who he says I am.. Enjoy the growth of each challenge and success you face it will only make you better the next season. Bring on the snow and frost :)
