A heart full of blessed

Its been a rough few weeks around Cherry Land. I feel like I have been on an emotional rollercoaster, especially the last week.

When you're going through a rough time it is so easy to feel like you are alone and that no one cares, or knows what you are going through.

I feel like this past week especially I have been overwhelmed with love by people in my life, and even those who don't know me that well but know my family. I have been covered in prayers, and I appreciate it SO MUCH. I would have never made it through without the many many people who have been praying for me.

Its almost been overwhelming to see how much my family loves and cares about me. My poor parents were in Iowa visiting my bro and sil while some really bad things happened to me and pretty much ruined their vacation, but yet they loved me and took care of me from afar. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to get all of their encouraging emails telling me how much I was loved, not only by them but by God. My Mom has been a huge rock to me. She is always there to encourage me and lift me up in prayer and also to tell me to SNAP OUT OF IT and Focus on your blessings and think of all the good things in your life.

I was laying in bed last night praying and thinking of all my blessings and wondered how on earth I got so lucky to be born into this wonderful family who loves me no matter what and loves me even when I am un loveable. I am truly blessed SO MUCH.

I love you Mom, Dad, Grams, Kev and Liz!! <3

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness! My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here! Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...

It's me, Charity
