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!

Helping those In Need.....

Greta Minton and Tina Walker are traveling to Haiti to help with the victims of the earthquake medical needs.  They need medical supplies, and medicines to take with them.  Pharmacies and doctor's offices are helping with a lot of the needed items however, they are appreciative of any money others donate for other things they also need to take with them.  I am just blown away with these ladies willingness to leave their comfort zones and help others in need.  It has to be hard to leave their own families.  First, I want tho thank these ladies for their willingness to help others, and also for the EXCELLENT example they are being to us.  If you are interested in helping with a donation I am sure you can take it to @ Dr. Chastain's office in an envelope with their names on it and the office staff will get it to them.  We are intstructed to help each other and bears each others burdens, I think we can help!!!  Thank you ladies for showing us how to give to others selflessly.

Blessed Life....

I was thinking today (scary) how fast the world is turning.  I wished I could drag my toe and make it slow down just a little!!!  I have several friends who are experiencing hard times and tough decisions now in their lives.  I offer my prayers to each one of them, it is the single BEST thing I can do.  I (We) have a straight, wireless connection to the Commander and Chief, and he even knows my (our) name (s)!!! Wow!  When I feel overwhelmed, helpless, weary, excited HE is there with me.  That is amazing to me!!!

Yes, the world slowing down is appealing but not realistic, or is it?  It is up to ME!  I am reminded to BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD.  How comforting....I hope and pray for peace and love to all-
