Well friends I am grateful to know what it feels like to be held in our Heavenly Fathers arms. As most of you know my momma passed away on Sunday, April 5, 2009--between 10:30-11:00pm. Our God is so amazing. We (Rob, Tyler, Lacey and friends from church) had been to a Christian concert on Sunday evening, we heard 10th Ave North sing, By Your Side, Jeremy Camp sing, There Will Be A Day and MercyMe sing many songs, including I Can Only Imagine. God has been working on me and preparing me.
He has given me 2 scriptures lately, Psalm 121:1&2-I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
and Isaiah 40:28-31Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
God allowed me the precious gift of a phone call to my mom after the concert, I called her about 9:56 pm and talked about 7 minutes. During the ride home I received a voicemail from my stepdad saying he had called an ambulance for my momma, around 10:30 she had trouble breathing and passed out, she never came to again. I will never forget that night or the blessing of that phone call. Friends and family are sending cards and prayers and phone calls my way and I couldn't make it without your love and support. When I can figure out how to scan pictures I will do a tribute to my mom. God also allowed me the chance to speak at her memorial service last Saturday. I hope I made her proud. More later..... Count your blessing name them one by one, and it will suprise you what the Lord hath done. Please keep praying, we are having her burial on Saturday, April 18th. Love ya'll! :)

Wow, where did the time go?

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and first day of school to you! I know, I am horrible for not blogging. The day before Christmas I had this really great post ready. It was all about Christmas and not being stressed out and really having a great since of peace this year. But when I went to get on my computer, my modem was messed up. For 3 days, and then I got busy and( lazy) again. I really did have a lot of peace and did not feel so rushed and stressed out this year. I have so much to be thankful for and have so many blessings that there is no reason not to be FULL of JOY. And thanks to a wonderful stomach virus that I experienced over the weekend, I have started out the new year with a little weight loss!!! Not really how I wanted it though. :) I don't do new years resolutions, but I would like to work on some things this year, such as, my prayer life, my health, and my family life. I hope you are looking to the future this year, not at all the things you do wrong, but how you can maybe do better in the good things. We'll see how this works for me. I know this is so rambly and kind of running together-sorry about that. Anyway, have a good week. I'm off to a CampFire leaders meeting.:)

PS. Finally, brothers (sisters), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Phillippians 4: 8

PPS. I don't know what happened to the picture at the top of my blog ?!? I looked last night and it was there and today it's not. I would love to change the look of my blog, the colors and such, but I have forgotten how. So just bare with me while I work on this ugly colored thing! :)
