I have been reminded of several friends that are facing difficult decisions. So many folks are hurting physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am very blessed and just when I think I am experiencing some winding roads, I know I don't have any real problems compare to others. I think God reminds me to let go and let Him. But, I like being in control (thinking that I am) and then I often fail and guess what.. I let go and let God. I can't understand this..if I KNOW I can't do just simple tasks alone why won't I just let go?
So I am trying to slow down, enjoy more, do less and thank God for everything in my life. I have a wonderful family, great friends and a good life. Tonight I am thankful for GRACE=God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is comforting to know HIS grace Reaches me.
love and peace all
Why I am blogging......
I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

Friday night, stormy night, ahhhhhh rain
After work today I had BIG plans. My mind raced all day @ work about all the stuff I wanted to get done, or needed to do. Well, I made the mistake of sitting down telling myself it would be only for a little while. Well, I did manage to give the dog a bath and do some laundry..but that is it. Oh well, I have enjoyed watching the sky light up, and hearing the rain and thunder. Something about storms make me think of when I was a little girl. I use to love to go to my grandmother's house and play. I thought of that and her tonight. She was a pretty lady, and so funny. I love you Nun Nun's. I also remember going to my Pape Garrison's house and playing in the barn and @ this time of the year picking the BEST grapes from his vines in the garden. I can still hear him calling the pigs....good memories. Everyone have a good weekend...do something you enjoy and take the time to take it ALL in. love and peace to all :)
