FOREVER FREE

I watched an illness take a loved one from our home, you know sometimes life just ain't fair she made reservations and I know where she's going there's no sickness waiting there as we gathered round her we knew the time was near we watched her slowly slip away, such a peacful feeling came into that room I could almost here her say....my struggles over, I'll fight no more I lost a battle but I won the war. Victory is sweet as I bow here at his feet don't weep for me, OH if you could see I'M FOREVER FREE....There's a time to laugh and a time to cry a time to live and a time to die, you know that's something that everyone's gonna face if we live our life though christ keep the faith and fight the fight when it comes our time we can say......my struggles over, I'll fight no more I lost a battle but I won the war. Victory is sweet as I bow here at his feet don't weep for me, OH if you could see I'M FOREVER FREE!

What wonderful meaning this song has in it.. To her Donna sing this song gives me chills, It is a MUST hear if you have not heard it before.

My baby is growing

My baby girl is growing up soooo fast! It makes me so sad when I realize that this is my last baby, Yea I know I have plenty of time to still do baby things but in 4 months she will be a year old...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? She melts my heart and has brought me so much joy since the first time I held her in my arms. I have nobody to thank but God for giving me this preciouse gift and of course my other precious gift Peyton!

THOUGHTS

This is a cycle, that at anytime we can stop it and make it go a different way. Why do we not see all the poverty in our own country...or better yet even in our own back yard. Come walk with me for a day around the few blocks of my office and I can show you some poverty. I am sure a lot of people think that these peoplecould end there own poverty by simply stopping the cycle there selfs, but how do you do that if you are a person who has never even learned to read or write. By cycle I mean that usually 99% of the time a person who is living in poverty did not come from a wealthy family and just decide to live like this. They came from a family where they too lived in poverty all the way back to as far as they can remember they lived in poverty. Some people do not even have fresh drinking water. I am not talking over in Africa either I am talking RIGHT HERE IN BOWLING GREEN KY! How do we stop this cycle. How about not buying those pair of earrings that you think you HAVE to have and give that money to an organization that will help rebuild the community. That's right for the price you pay for that latte you could be helping a family be able to eat a good meal tonight. Think about that the next time you are sitting down with your family in a nice cozy house at your kitchen table eating dinner. Think about the people just right down the road who have NOTHING to offer there kids. Lets give them a hand up....not a hand out. My goal this year for christmas time is to sit Peyton down (Tarryn is to young) and talk with her about raising money to help those in need. I would love to find a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen that I could take her to and we could work at and maybe let her see that some people including kids do not get ANYTHING at Christmas time. I am going to limit the number of gifts she gets to very minimal and then let her be involved in some sort of program to help the kids in our community who need it most. Now I jsut have to find the area that needs the most help and come up with a plan to help them out...Or maybe even a family in Morgantown who is in need I can help out this year... Iam going to do my research on this.. I think you should all try to do the same this year..Because really, does your kids even play with all the junk they get at Christmas?

8 years and counting

I love you! Not only for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you. You have given me joy in my life that would have never found anywhere else. You have given me two amazing girls who are my life. It is amazing to think back to where our life was 8 years ago and where it is now. I am in awe when I see what God has done for us just in the last year. God has picked us up when we were down he has given us love when we thought we could not love anymore, He has shown us his presence in more ways than one. I can honsetly say I could not imagine my life with out my husband in it. He is my best friend, my soul mate and I am more in love with him now than I was 8 years ago...THANK YOU CHAD FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL TO ME!
