Nothing like your family to make your heart smile and your life a little closer to complete!!

Here is a new song by Sanctus Real....... it speaks to my heart. I hope you enjoy the words, but go on the web and listen to it.....it will speak to yours I am sure.

~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~

It’s time for healing, time to move on,

it’s time to fix what’s been broken too long

Time to make right what has been wrong;

it’s time to find my way to where I belong

Chorus: There’s a wave that’s crashing over me, and all

I can do is surrender

Whatever You’re doing inside of me

It feels like chaos, but somehow there’s peace

And it’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see,

but I’m giving in to something heavenly

Time for a milestone, time to begin again, re-evaluate who I really am

Am I doing everything to follow Your will or just

climbing aimlessly over these hills?

So show me what it is You want from me I give everything – I surrender

Chorus:

Time to face up, clean this old house

Time to breathe in and let everything out that

I’ve wanted to say for so many years

Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You’re doing inside of me

It feels like chaos, but I believe …

You’re up to something bigger than me

Larger than life, something heavenly

Whatever You’re doing inside of me

It feels like chaos, but now I can see

This is something bigger than me

Larger than life Something heavenly, something heavenly

Time to face up, clean this old house Time to breathe in and let everything out

Well, here we are the middle of June and just where has this year gone to already? I have been involved in a new church and new bible study, with all kinds of new awareness and I feel so blessed!
Oh, and we have a little announcement.......Krystal is nurturing a new baby due sometime in January 2009!!! Unexpected but so welcomed and the kids are just jumping with the news...! PaPa & I are already discussing the new addition to come and how God has blessed us with a growing quiver.
With summer arriving and lots to do around the house, we hope the time will go quickly for Krys allowing her to be as ready as she can - and how that will happen with all the little "extra" hands, well, we will wait and see!!
I have been scrapping a little here and there. My purchase of a Cricut has blessed me so...and the new Close to My Heart products along with my At Home America purchases - I have enough to keep me busy for now.
Be blessed. Always ask Him first, wait for His answer, follow His path, and trust only Him....... it commands a blessing and gives you peace. XO

Had a rough few weeks. Fighting a real bug that has my head spinnin' and nose dripping, cough that kills the chest, and my guts aching most of the time,altho on the mend - it wears you out. Also trying to catch up at the house getting ready to swing the sledge hammer on the back (finally), concerned for my mom and a very odd mother's day.
Always a smile but joy is rare these days except for the hugs and kisses of the grandkids and Sundays. Maybe just feeling sorry for myself and myabe it's just the good ole flu. In any case - I am not myself.
I find refuge in the word.............. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Ephesians 6:14-16

Here's hopin' you had an awesome Mother's Day!!

Oops..... this is what I mean!!

So handsome, my husband!!

Wow, a man in uniform!!! Wow!
