It's been a while!

So its been a while since I have written.

I have notice that life catches me by surprise a lot.

I have had a lot of changes, they all lead me closer to God!

God is constantly reminding me of who I am and I what I can do.

When I think I can't go God tells me I got you walk with me.
When I think that I am going to give up, God says give it to me.
When I think I can't take any more, God says don't,  let me take it.

So often I find myself trying to take the lead, only to find myself in another mess.
I am learning to trust God day by day.

He is my secret weapon, he leads and guides me, he is the reason I can be happy in the midst of the trial, or peaceful in the mist of the turmoil. He sees my tears, and pain, and he loves me.

So when the chaos of this worlds gets to you, take a step back and let God lead the way!
He is a much better driver.

God Is Good!

Time to breathe!

Ok this is the first time in a month that I have had time to breathe. I have been through a lot of ups and downs. God has been there with me all the time. Urging me on when I thought I could not go on, holding my hand when I thought no one was there, and holding me when I cried. He never left me. For a while I was carrying this heavy load. God helped me though to see that he could make that load light. He is so good to me!

I have been missing James terribly. I hang onto every letter, to every word. I was so glad he called on the 5th, I can not wait to hear form him again. He has always help me to stay focused on God, now I am having to do that myself. I miss his dry sense of humor too. He is starting to bring that into his letters now. I am counting down the days to his return. Its hard to leave him in Gods hands.

Jess is slipping away from me. I can't seem to bring her back. We are always at each others throats. hard to keep the peace and still be mom. I am giving her to God to! I am praying he will help me be the mother she needs. I love her and I want her to have all that God has to offer, I hope she realizes how much she needs him.

I am feeling very Blessed right now. I guess you could say I am up on the mountain waiting to go down into the valley. Its great up on the mountain, but it is down in the valley where we grow.

Robert's birthday was yesterday. We went out to eat, Jess paid for half, the dinner was enjoyable. We are going to take Robert to Chuckie Cheeses for his Birthday on Friday. he can not wait. He is such a character. he says the cutest things, and he acts like he is grown.

David is doing better, I am trying to work with him on not pitching a fit when he does not get his way, we are getting there.

Well guess I better go. I just mailed James another letter. Have fun today and hug someone you love!

Quite for a while!

Well the office is very quite today! I have still been busy, but just getting work done for the fireworks stand. I like it when I can work undisturbed. 

Things are going relatively well for now. I am hoping to relax a little tomorrow. I am not on the schedule to work any where so I can rest a little. I will probably end up at the fireworks stand.

I am waiting for the chaos to break loose!

Well guess I better go for now!

Busy, is there any other way to be!

Oh my I have been busy lately. I have only had a few minutes to miss James.

By the way I have a post card from James. No return address yet, but I am patiently waiting.

Been extra busy with fireworks and friends. I worked Saturday morning, Baby shower Saturday afternoon, and then worked a few more hours, then had supper and watched a movie with friends. It was a good day. Ended up at work on Sunday too. Long story. Seems like I will be working late tonight too. Every time I clear my desk here, it just gets more cluttered. Its ok,  it is good to busy every now and then.

Well better go, work is calling. Have fun in the sun, but don't get sun burn.

James going away party!

The party was a blast. All of James friends showed up. We had hot dogs and hamburgers. I forgot to make the cookies, LOL! We ran out of plastic cups, and then drinking glasses LOL, but we had fun. James and friends played bat mitten, Soccer, Frisbee, and jumped on the trampoline. The adults rambled around and did some of the same. We mostly stayed inside. Check out my facebook page for all the photos. 

I can not believe my baby is leaving me for 9 weeks. I think I will cry when I drop him off tomorrow. 

God has really been working in my life. Church was great yesterday. We learned about fish. It was a great sermon.  Christians were compared to different types of fish. Don't know if I can remember them all, some where good, and some where not. Maybe later I will list them all in a post. I was so happy and blessed yesterday. I still am today.

Jessica and James will be at the mall today, James is spending time with friends. I know he will miss them when he leaves.

We are planning to take a trip to Disney World in August. The Lord willing, it will work out. Jess is not going, because she has been already and James will not be back yet, so just me, Skip, mom and the boys. What fun.

Well better get some work done. God Bless Everyone!

Last Day of School, and the Official start of Fireworks Season

Well today is the last day of school. No more getting the kids up at the crack of dawn. No more teachers calling, homework not done, lunches forgotten, and James taxi service has come to and end, I think!

I now get to look forward to bored kids, late nights up with the kids, and a mess to clean up when the kids have been home all day!

Well fireworks Season officially begins in June, of course I had to get started in May. I have Saturday off to have James shipping out party. Can't believe he leaves on June 9th. I hope he likes it there. I am expecting to get busier with fireworks after that.

Still taking it one day a time with God! I am reading my bible at night, I have been reading in the book of James it is a good book. I am praying more, trying to complain less. and trying to hold my temper. That is really hard. Just seem to blow up at everything. I am catching myself a lot quicker now.

Well need to get some work done! Encourage someone today and tell them that God loves them.

Make Memories, Live in the Moment

One day at a time brings new meaning to me!

I am learning that I can follow God and do his will if I take it one day at a time, actually, I am taking it one hour at a time lol. Have to keep reminding myself to ask is this what God wants me to do.

We had revival at Church this weekend, it was great. I really enjoyed it.

We also went to the museum! It was really fun! The kids had a blast. Everyone enjoyed it.

Can't wait for our next trip.

Watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives with Robert. Have a great night.
