Tennessee....


is where I am at right now. We had to make a trip up here because of a death in the family. Tom's step-dad passed away on Thursday so we headed out on Friday evening. It wasn't a bad trip, we made really good time, only took about 10 hours. We will be heading home Monday after the service.


The kids have been making the most of the trip, taking pictures and cutting up and having a good time. I know it is not going to be fun for them at the services but I am glad that they are having a good time right now.

Tom's new job is going well. I have to say it is a little weird him going to work by walking down the hall but he is loving it.

Well I will try and post at least one more time before we leave but for now it is time to relax and enjoy the Tennessee view.

I'm ready......


Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6

This verse has been bouncing around in my head today so I thought I would share it with you.

This is my year to learn to "let go and let God" and it can sometimes be alot easier said then done. But as you always hear,'if it was easy then everybody would be able to do it', and that is true. God has so much in store for me this year and there may be some battles that I have to fight and then there may be times I have to sit back and let God fight it for me and I am OK with that. I am not saying it will be easy but I am ready. This year is my year to stand firm on what I believe and to not back down or run away when it gets hard.

So what ever you are in need of take it to God and let Him take care of it and TRUST that He has your best interest at heart

Trust....




In Life Coaching again this year we are supposed to choose our "word of the year" and again mine is TRUST. Last year is was more about trusting others and myself but this year it is about trusting God. This verse really spoke to me today:

O Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. 2 Samuel 7:27

Why do we ever doubt that God has good things planned for us. It says right in the bible that He has promised good things for us but I think sometimes we believe that is for everyone besides ourselves. It says right here in this verse that God is Trustworthy but yet we try to keep things from Him (like He doesn't know any way) because we think that He will not understand or that our problem is way to big for God. Think about that.....the God who created everything can not handle our problems....when you really stop and think about that statement it is laughable, well at least to me it is.

So that is my plane for this year...to trust God in every situation not just the ones I think He can handle but in every aspect of my life.

I know things happen for a reason and I really believe with all of my heart God is going to use me and my family this year to bring about some big changes.

I am asking all of you out there that consider me their friend to stand with me in prayer that I will allow God to walk and talk through me this year in all areas of my life and that He gives me the courage to stand for what I believe in....no matter what.
