My Little Kids

 
 My girls are moving to Ohio. They have been saying it for months and months, but I guess I didn’t really believe it would really happen, since the date has come and gone a few times and they are still here.
I don’t even know what to say. I am sad. I worry for them. I [...]

Year of Jubilee

I am thinking of and listening to this song while I am writing this post. My God and my saviour are THE ONLY way I am getting through these hectic days.
BEHOLD HE COMES. RIDING ON THE CLOUDS. SHINING LIKE THE SUN. AT THE TRUMPET CALL. LIFT YOUR VOICE. IT’S THE YEAR [...]

One Year Later…

It was one year ago last Saturday that Rob and I first laid eyes on our church here in the Big City. I can hardly believe that one year ago I was writing in my journal from my picnic table in my front yard, underneath a tree, with no houses in sight. I don’t know if [...]

Wondrous Love

Something happened at work the other day which I didn’t understand until much later. Now I can hardly stop smiling over it all.
Dan comes into my work all the time. He’s nearly 70, gruff, but usually in a good mood and razzes us girls at the front counter. Dan is a tall guy and fairly [...]

Rose Colored Glasses

This song, Rose Colored Glasses, is one I remember from early childhood. It’s by John Conlee.
“These rose colored glasses that I’m looking through
show only the beauty and hide all the truth.”
I got my little heart broken today. Or yesterday, maybe both.
I guess I have one question to ask. Just one.
I won’t judge you if you [...]

VACATION!!!!! YEAH!

Just got home last night. I wrote this yesterday.
 
The best thing I can think of about this vacation is actually more than one thing.
The food. Garrett has cooked for us nonstop since we arrived. He’s not gourmet, but man is he ever close. WOW! Melon and chocolate the first night. Eggs, ham, cheese and potato [...]

THE LITTLE KIDS
 had a greatexperience this morning, stemming directly from my lateness and unpreparedness. I know, it sounds a bit weird. I set my timer so that I would get up from the computer and playing on Facebook, (btw bloggers pls don’t mention MY blog on FB. Real life peeps know nothing abt my blog… thx) [...]

Blown Completely Away

Rob wrote this to me while he was away this weekend. I was blown away and I want to be a better wife because of the same reasons.

Dearest Jay,
I am reminded, as I have been apart from you for some 77 hours, that I can be fine when I am [...]

Coworker Joan

My friend who’s been in the hospital came home on Sunday night, but she is not all better. It’s funny because I was not stressed and basically OK when she was in the hospital, but now that she’s out and has 6 weeks of blood thinners until they shock her heart, then I freaked out [...]

My Best Pal Joan

For the past 4 days, my best work-friend Joan has not been feeling well. Joan and I are such a pair.We finish each other’s sentences, we make inside jokes constantly, and we generally work very hard and also goof off a bunch.
Today when I got to work, Joan was lamenting her medical bills and said [...]

New Home in My Old Hometown

So I was checking out Stormy’s (former foster daughter’s) MySpace today and it says she is moving back to the town that Rob and I just moved from a few months ago. It’s also the town WHERE I WORK.
I have a couple of problems with this, manily that Stormy is a shoplifter and I don’t [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes

… or two or three days, even.
I am sitting here now somewhat in awe of the crabbiness and nastiness I showed here on my blog last week. So in honor of God leading me by the hand out of that pit once more, I shall speak of my blessings today!

I don’t remember if I mentioned [...]

And You Know What Else?

My dear friend. Ok I have only known her one year, but we became good friends. She went to church while we were at Middleton. And we became fast friends with her and her 3 year old son. We saw her through a rather nasty divorce, she helped us move to the Big City.
Everything that [...]

So Angry !!!!!!!!!!!!

Something happened one week ago for which I had been waiting 17 years.
Angelina found my sister Dotty on Facebook. Dotty and I rejoiced over it. Angelina and I talked until 12:30 am that day, and she talked with my sis until 2 am.
My heart was bursting out of my chest. Such joy!
My older brother James [...]
