Against all odds & even the Devil

Howdy y'all! i know it's been since Easter since i last posted.. i'll just say this, it's been a roller coaster of emotions for me the last few weeks since Easter. i had started feeling some depression hit me at the most weirdest of times & just also i felt like i was being weighed down by grief. The main reason i was feeling like this is because this year is the 30th. year anniversary of my real Dad being killed. i always do just some how take all the grief from all the other 11 months & pile it into the day of April 22nd.

Well, on the of the 22nd this year i had work which was nice.. because i got to be around my little kids at work (some of my favorite type of people). After work Grandma took me up to where my Dad's site is & let me go lay my flower bunch on his site & as sometimes i do, i will bow my head & talk to the Lord.. about missing my Dad etc. This year also was the 10th year anniversary of me coming back to the Lord after an almost 20 year absence. So, as i was thinking & telling my 2 Dads if you will about my life i felt the Devil sneak in some words to me about ending my life. Now i haven't thought about ending my life since 10 years ago.. & i was hearing all sorts of lies from the Devil about how no one loves me blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.. & i finally had heard enough from him & to put it point blank i told him to go to Hell. Yes, i know the Devil is in Hell now but i want him to be thrown now in that lake of fire NOW. Thankfully i know Jesus will do this when He comes back for us.

i feel a lot better! im feeling more happy! i know some of you who know me well are like how can this girl get be more happy?!? but believe me this girl has had her days.. i am human!

Well, i think that's all i wanna share for now. im sorry again it's been a while since i last posted but when im not feeling 100% myself i don't like to do much.

i hope y'all have a great start of the week and may GOD bless each of you according to HIS will!

And He will if you ask Him. Y

Need i say more... HE is RISEN!!

Howdy, i know it's been almost 2 weeks since i last posted but of course how can i let this glorious weekend especially go by without posting. i hope y'all had a wonderful Resurrection weekend. i did!

Friday: was pretty laid back then Andrew & i went to CR in the evening.. which we heard a great testimony.

Saturday: Andrew & i got together had lunch at Taco Time & went to this cool park in Sandy called Mining where we painted for a couple hours.. it was so cool being able to paint with him & just being with him always makes me so happy. So that day indeed will be very memorable in my book in my heart of adventures with Andrew. That evening we went to Church where he had kid duty & i stayed in the car because i wasn't feeling a 100% but after service was over we had Mosaic. We read John Chapters 18-21, which was cool because we saw some new things in the passages. We then went out to eat at Applebees where i was mind blown that my dinner only cost $4.15.. not bad for three little cheeseburgers & fries.

On Sunday morning, Andrew & i went to Church service.. which was WAY AWESOME SUPER FANTASTIC!! i love how JESUS in Stu's words.. Never gave up!! JESUS the lover of my soul indeed i know for sure never gave up or has on me.. THANK YOU JESUS!!

After service we came back home where we had Big Dad's side of the family over for lunch. It was nice & i got to see one of my youngest little cousins Ella who is almost 1 1/2.

Well, that's it for this post. i hope y'all have a wonderful start of the week. May God bless y'all & keep you safe.

What i learned...

Hi y'all, Hope ya had a wonderful weekend!?! Mine was a blast!! i spent Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon nannying a 3 1/2, 5, & almost 7 year old that hold a special place in my heart.

i wanted to share with you what i learned from living with the kids for a weekend, plus a few of my general rules on life.. in ABC form.. ready?!?

A- Always have a few back up ideas in case your first few don't work

B- Bath time is always fun when you have at least 25 toys in the tub with you

C- Compromises don't come ever easy no matter how old you are

D- Directions can be easy but you can skate around some, if your lucky!

E- Every one has a right to say how they feel

F- Forgetting one thing that Momma or Daddy does can get you into a little trouble but not much & your easily forgiven if you say you did forget

G- GOD is bigger then the boogy man! (Don't forget this when your scared at night!)

H- Helping hands make light work

I- I love you goes a long ways!

J- JESUS, singing Jesus loves me.. never gets old. It sooths the soul!

K- Kids go on their on schedule unless they've adapted to yours

L- Laugh at the smallest of things!

M- Mornings come faster, i mean WAY fast!!

N- Never say one thing when you mean another because kids do pick up on those things QUICK!

(nothing bad happened but just always a general rule i have)

O- Open.. Keep your arms always open for hugs that come out of no where

P- Prayer is vital even when your 3 1/2

Q- Quiet time is nice

R- Remember you're an example to those who are watching you

S- Sometimes take a moment & look at the whole picture or you'll lose your prospective

T- Teaching can come from the smallest of people

U- Understanding each side of the story is a key!

V- Veggie Tales don't get old even if you watch 6 movies in a row of them

W- Willing.. You have to be willing to put your needs last when it comes to kids & others!

X- X.. uh?!?

Y- Young.. Be young & youthful for the kids because being old gets old

Z- Z.. uh?! Zee-end!

Well, that's that on the ABC thing. Hope y'all have a great start of the week now! May God bless each of ya!! Y

Matthew 19:14 NKJV But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Sprung.. Spring.. whatever?!?

Well, i know it's been almost 2 weeks since i last posted. i just have been doing more Facebook stuff. i did promise i'd still write on here so here it is though it maybe short due to me not feeling 100% great due to a cold.

Hmm?

It's Spring now, though it doesn't really feel like it much outside. i have caught a few glimpses of Sunshine which i have enjoyed when it is around.

Andrew & i are doing great! It's so amazing how God has been working in both of our lives for His glory.

My family is doing great too! My Ma & Big Dad have now been married for 17 years.. which is awesome! So happy for them!

My youngest cousin (well, 2nd cousin) Charlotte is going to be 1 on April 1st, which is cool!

This past Sunday my dear friend Mary & i went to the Rock & Worship roadshow where it was sold out with 11,000 plus crazy Christians yelling & screaming! It was fantastic! i got to meet Jeremy Camp, who's music/lyrics & personal testimony have effected me deeply. So, i can cross off meeting him off my bucket list. (Speaking of Bucket list i think i may post one on Facebook & here sometime) but it will be a bucket list of things that i'd like to do if GOD wills them for me to do before God calls me home bucket list. GOD be the glory always in all things i do, this i pray!

And speaking of things to do.. Ma & i this weekend get to watch 3 wonderful children who i absolutely love & adore, while their folks whom i also love are out of town.

Hmm? and speaking out of town.. my Aunt Lori is coming up from Texas tomorrow to stay for two weeks while she is either training or being trained for a job. Personal note, i pray it will be a fast two weeks while she is here but God willing He knows what's best for us all.

One more Hmm? i think that's about it because i need to lay down now. i hope y'all have a great last week of March 2009! Love y'all always!! Y
