This is one of my favorite songs.
For anyone that has known me for any length of time you know this song is me!!

Still hanging on...

Well it has been a crazy few days to say the least!!!

Tom is still without work and Kirsti got suspended from school.
This time we believe she was punished too harshly. It is a long story and one that I really don't want to go into here on my blog but what it boils down to is that she was helping a friend but went about it the wrong. We believe she should have been punished for her part but not as harshly. (If anyone wants to know the exact details you can talk to me and I will let you know.) So needless to say she will not be marching in the last two regular season football games, she was pretty upset about that but she is dealing with it OK, she understands what she did was wrong so it was a learning experience.
Other than that everything is the same. Tom is still out of work but he has a very good possibility tomorrow so keep the prayers coming. I know that God has something big in store for us we just have to be patient and wait on Him.

*Lord help us to have the faith we need to wait on you and to know that you have everything under control*

Late Friday

I am finally home and heading off to bed. Kirsti had am away football game tonight so it was really late. We didn't get home until after midnight so I am really tired. The band did great and the football team won, they are undefeated. Well just wanted to drop by and say Hi and let everyone know that we are still hanging on. Tom is supposed to take his tools down to his new job tomorrow, so far all is well. Just keeping the prayers going up, we still have a long way to go and alot to get through but with God's love and grace we will make it through.
We will overcome!!!!

My theme song...

Right now this is the song that I am holding on to. It is helping me to see that with Jesus we can overcome ANYTHING!!

Quiet Tuesday...

Today has been a pretty quiet day, which is good.
I am feeling a little better today too, had a nice evening last night. Tom and I went to the hot tube last night, by ourselves, it was nice. Had time to talk and reconnect. We both have felt a million miles apart but we are better now. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own thing that we forget about each other. But like I said we are much better now. Going to have dinner with my sister and her family tonight which is always fun. I love my nephew so much, he is 4 1/2 but he thinks he is about 16 or 17. He is so funny and I love spending time with him.
Thanks for all of your prayers, keep them coming we still need them. It is a day by day process.

Finally...

Well Tom finally heard some news today. It is looking like he will be starting a job on Monday, just not sure what shift yet. We will still have another week with no paycheck though but God will get us through it.

*Thank you Lord for answering our prayers. I know you are in control, sometimes it is just hard for me to let go and let You do your thing but thanks for loving me anyway.*

Masks....

I am so tired of putting on a happy face when I go out!!!


There I said it, I never believed that I really did that until today. I said to myself today,"I am so tired of being nice and happy, I don't want to be any more", of course I didn't say it to anyone just inside my head, but I wanted to.
I have been going through so much with Tom being out of work that I can not put it into words. All I do when we are home is either lay in bed and watch T.V. or go to bed and sleep. I don't want to do anything or really talk to anyone. I try not to be short with the girls but it is so hard. I try to be as nice as I can but it really takes alot, I mean alot, out of me. I am short with Tom and again I try not to be I am just so scared and upset that I don't know what to do. I feel like everything is slipping away and I don't know how to hold onto it.
*Lord help me hold on, I know you are teaching me something through this just please let me hold on long enough to learn it. I am so tired of going through this and I don't know how much longer I can do it. I need you now more then ever!!!*

Ladies Night!!!!

I had a blast tonight with some of the ladies from church. We had ladies night, it was supposed to be dinner and a movie but needless to say we never got around to the movie part. We talked, laughed and just spent time with old friends and made some new ones. I really really needed this after the week I have had, it felt good to laugh.

PD this was an absolute hit, we must do it again!!!

Waiting.....

why do we have to wait, that is one of the hardest things for me. Maybe that is why God is making me wait right now. Pray for strength and patience as I wait on the Lord.

God...

I am trusting you. I am letting go of the rope.

Some Good News!!!

Well the call came and it is looking good so far. We will know more after tomorrow afternoon. Keep bombarding heaven on our behave, we need it.

Love ya

Praying for a Breakthrough

Please agree with me today, all of my friends, that today will be the day that the breakthrough comes. It is amazing how much can ride on one phone call!!!

That call will come today, I have to believe it will.
With God all things are possible!!!!!

Why?????

Why is it that every time you step out and are ready to go to the next level with God something always comes along and pulls the rug out from under you? Why? Why?

Hubby Meme...

Never done one of these before but this one looked fun so here I go.......

Here are the rules: grab the graphic and insert with these rules, in your post. Give at least 5 reasons why you love your hubby. List more if you want. Tag 5 people (or more) to play along and link to their blogs in your post.Then visit those women’s blogs and leave them a comment on any of their posts. Now that I have shared the rules, it’s my time to share my reasons:

1.He has always been there for me, no matter what.



2.He believes in me when I don't believe in myself



3.I absolutely love it when he shaves his head... that is sooooo sexy to me.




4.I love to watch him worship in church(that means more to me then anyone will ever know)



5.He would do anything for his girls, no matter how silly he looked doing it.





I know that you are reading this honey and I love you more today then the day we were married and my love for you keeps growing.

I am loving growing old with you!!!

My mind is made up.....

I am going to be part of the solution!!!! No more lip service, I will do what God leads me to do. Any where, any time, any place!!!!!!! Use me God, like never before. Help me to be the answer to some one's prayer. I am here Lord, use me!!!

A Nice Quiet Day....

I so needed this day...a day to just sit at home and watch TV and turn everything else off.

P.S. Keep my mom in your prayers, she is in the hospital. Hopefully we will finally fine out what is going on!!

Dear God....

Help me to see myself through your eyes!!!

Thought for the Day

The God of the universe loves and cares for ME!!!
