Change

Change......

So, I have not been very good at this blogging thing, but, I am going to try to change that! It's always been hard for me to express myself, whether it is writing it down or even in person, but I really feel like it's good to do so. So, I am going to try to change that.

Change....

Speaking of change... there have been many changes in my life lately and it appears that there are new changes on the horizon.

My son, Bryan and his wife Tonya moved to Yakima in March to be the Youth pastor at a church there. They love it, which I am very thankful for. And there has been a new addition to their family. Kylie now has a little sister and her name is Layla. I love being a mammaw, a name that Kylie gave me. They are the most precious little girls in the world and life would be so boring without them. Love them to pieces and can't imagine life without them. Good change!

Change...

My daughter Dawn and her husband Chris just informed us recently that they are going to be moving to New Mexico and will be leaving the end of July. Change....one that is going to be so hard on this mom. But I placed Dawn in the hands of Jesus so many years ago and gave her back to Him to do and work in her life as He sees fit. How hard that is to do when it comes right down to it, but I know that the Lord has a plan and a purpose for her and Chris, and I just have to trust Him now.

Change.....

Now both of my children are going to live away from me. Bryan and Tonya are only 4 hours away, but Dawn and Chris are much farther than that.

Yes sometimes change is wonderful, but sometimes change can be difficult, but when we place our lives in the hands of the Lord he will see us through.

I'm so thankful that I have Jesus to help me with......Changes

New Year

Well, Christmas has come and gone and the New Year is now upon us. 2010 Who would have ever thought that we would see 2010. I pray that this year will be a year of blessing. 2009 was a tough one but the Lord was faithful.
I am so blessed.
Family is the joy of my life and I am so thankful for all of my family. My mom and dad and sister and family. My husband. My son, daughter in law, and grandaughter and the one on the way. My daugter and son in law and many good friends. I am soooooo blessed.
Thank you Lord for your many blessings.

Not too good at this!

It has been a while since I have blogged, but I think I will try again!
Had a very busy day at work and am really tired, but I did come home and put the lights on the tree, but not much else. I am totally worthless in the evenings!!!
I just can't believe we are already into December.
I am so thankful that the Lord is an ever present help in the time of need. What would I ever do without Him.
Well I am out of here for the night.

The Things that I Love

There's an old song that says: The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they're not mine at all.

Jesus only let me use them to brighten my life, so remind me, remind me dear Lord.

All I ever wanted was to be a mother and to have children and God blessed me with two wonderful children. Bryan and Dawn.

What a blessing but yet what a blow that they have to grow up and

Birthdays are overrated!!!

He is a God of Hope

Thank goodness for hope. We attended church this morning and the pastor spoke on the caves in our lives. Sometimes it seems like I go from one cave to another and things can seem so hopeless but there is hope in the Lord. It's in the caves of life that God does his best work. So if you happen to be in a cave at this time of your life just look to the Lord and His strength, seek his face always and remember the wonders He has done.
And if you aren't in a cave at this time of your life, you will be soon. Aint that encouraging!! But just remember He is a God of Hope and if you turn your eyes upon Jesus the things of earth will grow strangely dim when we look in the light of His wonderful grace. Thank goodness, He is our Hope.

This is a new venture I'm trying. Haven't always been too good at journaling but have decided to give this blog thing a try.
Today has been another awesome day that the Lord has given. Just the opportunity to wake up and have a job to go to, just to have a man in my life that loves me and just to have children that bring joy to our lives. I have to say, I am truly blessed and Life is Good!
