Out with the Old in with the New..

Yesterday I put a pepper roast on to cook and we had our weekly dinner night with Kris, Kat and Kenzie..

I had to catch her in deep thought.... :-)

My sweet boy riding to school this morning..

Okay it is passed time to take this thing away from her.. We are working on it!! Potty training is in the works too!! ha

I have felt "under the weather" the past couple of days.. If this weather would make up its mind what it would like to do then I think about 90 percent everybody would feel better.. Thankfully my family has cared enough and have helped me with all of the kiddoes and dinners..Hopefully it will get better before the weekend hits, got too much fun going on..

BTW our house has had two viewers this week.. So maybe more bites will come soon and we can sell this thing.. Well Amy, do you have a plan if it does sell?? Why yep I do.. I HAD to get one, I am not moving into an apartment.. I went down that road before and it was a nightmare.. (If I have to I will)..  But I would much rather buy another house and have a place for my kids to call their home.. I had been struggling with the thought of not having this place bc I love it.. But it is just a house and I dont really call it home anymore.. So Im already starting to TRY and detach myself from it.. Anyway things are progressing slowly and going good this way.. Hopefully everyone had a fabulous Weds.. Praying it is just me that continues to feel bad and not any of my youngens.. See ya soon!!

Old but Fun...

Pictures I say!! Today it is old tomorrow Ill have brand new.. Enjoy them!!

I know that this one is NOT old.. But it is hilarious!! ha

Down Came the Rain..

This morning after dropping Abbey and Brandon off at school we start heading towards Addison's school.. It was the cutest thing in this world when she started doing her "spirit fingers" which meant down came the rain from The Itsy Bitsy Spider song.. She started saying, "Wain.. Momma.. Wain"... It's the small things that I love.. They make my day..

Oh and on the way to school we enjoyed the sounds of studying before our tests.. Last night we were all about getting ready for Abbey and Brandon's tests for today.. They aced my test in the car and through the week.. Let's see how they do today.. Im so proud of them.. My sweet little people...

For Sale..

We are down sizing and so we are selling our home.. If you know of anyone interested in a 4/2 home that is amazing please let me know.. I love this place and wish with all my might that I could afford it and stay.. But with the times ahead that is just not reality.. I am also looking forward to......

And.....

And then this little girl here loves to watch her Bubbie and Sissy..

I am so excited for ball to start.. Common Ground is still kicked up for Abbey.. That ends in March for now, but that gives her an opportunity to focus solely on ball.. Just keeping busy!!!

The Truth Is..

I am making progress from the recent post, "Hurt brings Hiatus"... I do realize that you would love to see some good pictures of my youngens though.... So here ya have it...

First up....

Brandon..

Funny boy..

New Year's party..

Good friends..

Tutu girl..

Pretty smile...

Lots of you guys have been emailing or texting just to figure out what is going on with our lives.. I am going through a second divorce and have come to realize that I can struggle everyday to try and please everyone or I can just be happy with who I know I am and trust my own values and decisions and hope that one day someone will love me for who I am.. I know that God longs for peace in my life and believing that he will deliver that promise brings a smile to my face everyday.. I will go on and will work on bringing back some sort of normalcy to my children's lives again.. I do not believe that God gives you more than you can handle at a time.. We long for your prayers in our family as we turn to a new chapter in this very short lived life on earth.. Still praising God for all he has done and is yet to do..

I believe that everything happens for a reason.. People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they are right, you believe lies so you learn to eventually trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together..

Hurt Brings Hiatus..

Just thought that I would share this with my blogger friends.. The title really says it all.. I will be back soon.. I did however go to lunch with one of my mentors from church.. We had some Applebee's on Tuesday because we closed the office early due to water problems that the majority of the Greater Jackson area are facing.. PURE CHAOS.. But good time to stay at home and get some housework done.. Thanks Jen for the encouragement!! I am putting this on my blog only because it was very encouraging to me.. Maybe it will help someone else too that is going through a hard time..

The Lord will work out his plans for my life -- for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me. Psalm 138:8 NLT


I read my encouraging word for today and it still amazes me that when you need something God provides it. I have talked to 4 women this week who are going through things in the life or marriage and the one thing they all had in common was they were scared. I believe God has my back and He has your back and He will never allow satan to break you. I sat in renewal last night and Chip was leading us through prayer, but I could not pray with him as he wanted....I had an overwhelming sense that God wanted me to pray for others...not me...I started my prayer with praise to Him for all He has done in my life, then I started praying for the women I had spoken to this week....I asked for God's hand to be felt in each of their lives. Last night was a very moving night for me....and then I read the scripture above this morning and it sums it all up. God is faithful....His love endures forever...God does not abandon us....He knows the plans for our lives...He made us.....
We are children of God. We have to take the time to talk to Him. God has done amazing things in my life over the last 4 1/2 years....at times I wanted to turn my back because I felt He had let me down but I am telling you from experience...the times when we feel like God is not listening and answering our prayers, He is, we just don't like what He is saying. Pray for your miracle. God will answer...remember He is faithful.
