Amen

I couldn't imagine a greater blessing than having an amazing woman by my side...I am so blessed to have been given such an amazing partner.... She is amazing and so supportive.  No matter what, I know you're on my side, thank you.  It's amazing what happens when you ask for help!! I am so blessed to have many people supporting my family right now... thank you all, most of all our Heavenly Father...
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please let the words be sad and the healing begin...
Amen

On this day to remember those who give their lives in order to give us Freedoms, I wish to thank both Past and Present military and their families for their sacrifices...  Thank you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please let this upcoming week be quiet for my family and loud for employment opportunities..
Amen

I was so blessed to be able to serve again as Communion Assistant alongside two extraordinary women and watch as my son asked and stepped up to be an usher.  Although I made errors, it IS what I needed this morning.  Pastor Mary is the only person I can honestly say can make sense of any part of the Bible to me.  No matter what she preaches on, she makes it relate to every day issues of this century.  Today, was once again not only a remarkable Sermon, it was a reminder of just how down to Earth and human she really is.  Thank you for showing everyone just how vulnerable you are and how even in times in your life you need to see reminders.  Thank you!!!

I do not know if I will ever be able to fully explain the feelings that go through me not only being in church, serving our Lord, but standing up, reading prayers and Bible readings with minimal mistakes. As Pastor Mary said last Monday to me... it's amazing how much I have changed in two years, even just one year..... I recall reading the Advent prayer to Mackenzie while hiding so I was not in view.... Its amazing what encouragement and support can do.  Thank you!!

As this weekend ends, I once again want to thank those who have worked and are working to keep us safe and to provide us with the Freedoms we have.  

Dear Heavenly Father,

My wish is that every Veteran feels the support and gratitude they so deeply deserve especially this weekend. Much like Mother's Day and Father's Day... I truly believe that we need to thank those in uniform everyday. Please provide safety and shelter to all those who are protecting us.

Amen

Words have consequences, I feel this has been uttered out of my mouth non stop all of today. I am hoping that as this day moves to the next, it will be heard and processed.  I am so blessed to have such amazing support in a partner.  I am so grateful not to have been alone, thank you.
My wish is that we all remember and thank all those who have and are serving to give us the rights and freedoms so many of us take for granted.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As you continue to welcome those we say goodbye to, may you continue to show each of us that You are here for us and that they may not be here, but they always will be here guiding us through till our time to join Your celebration comes.
Amen

On this Thursday I am thankful for the support and second chance given to my son.  I pray this new environment will provide him with the atmosphere he needs in order to achieve his full potential. I am looking forward to weekend of focusing on Letting Go... I am looking forward to the lack of plans along with the few scheduled activities.... I am most excited to be able to serve again this Sunday with my love by my side and assisting another amazing woman....
Dear Heavenly Father,
It is truly in my heart that I wish to serve and give back in a productive manner.  I ask you, please help me locate the job that will provide for my family while giving me the feeling of living in a way that will Glorify You.
Amen

Perhaps taking the journey we don't want to take,- is the answers to our prayers.... Did you ever get the feeling sometimes it is more than it seems.  I recall soon after my divorce taking my first trip to Va... I recall the scared yet determined feeling... and the accomplishment I felt after I arrived back safe and sound.  I recall the time the bus almost took us out and how that took me on the journey of opening my heart and mind back up to the world of Faith.
I was ordered to go to Camden today, although I was beyond nervous and annoyed I did as I was instructed to do.  I had no idea where I was going was not in the heart of Camden.. I did not know I would feel relatively safe.. I only knew I was annoyed, scared, and nervous.  I wasn't realizing till tonight.... perhaps it is exactly what I needed to see God is answering my prayer.... I had time to breathe.  Although I was nervous I put on music (normally do not do that) and I just drove.  I didn't stress over EVERYTHING.... I stressed about directions and the rain but I did it.. I did what I needed to do.  I made it through and am better for it.  I am blessed.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As I continue to go down this path, please continue to give me the answers.  I will try to do better to be more open minded to what each circumstance is teaching me.
Amen

5/20/14 COMPUTER FIXED!!

I promised as soon as my computer was virus free, I would get back to being grateful, NOT a minute too soon!!!! Things are completely hectic and overwhelming right now.  I feel like a scatterbrained weak bird who has fallen in quick sand.  It is up over my head and it's difficult to breathe and to push it off my shoulders.  With that all being said.. I am so grateful to have SUPPORT.  I am BLESSED.  I am GIVEN this life, each day IS a blessing.  The struggles are to make me STRONGER.  I know I am NOT ALONE, I have amazing people in my life and my children are blessed to also have so many people cheering them on.  THANK YOU.  Thank you!!!
This past weekend, I was able to serve and though it was difficult to get through.. I did.  As I was reminded on Monday night... I have come a long way in two years.  Terrified to even read a simple prayer, now I am offering to do all the verbal parts to have someone beside me.. I am blessed to be able to serve again this weekend with two extraordinary women.... It means so much to me, thank you!!! I am so grateful.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As you stand along side me, please show me how to breathe! Please show me how to Let Go, Let God. Please show me how to do better.
Amen
