Other happenings..

Brace yourself for a hodgepodge of pics of the last few weeks! This is what happens when I don't blog as often as I should!
 A few weeks ago it was Sweet Sydney's 16'th Birthday! I had a present and a balloon for her! As well as a stationary bike! It was mine until I gave it to my Grams, now after surgery and during chemo she is not able to use it and wanted it out! I found out that Sydney bikes TONS as in like 12 miles a day outside tons, so I asked her if she would like a stationary bike! She jumped at the chance and I got it back from my Mom and gave it to her at the same time as her gifts!
 She was pretty excited!
Opening her gifts! She is such a sweet girl and such a blessing to me! She has a natural talent for music and I'm so excited to see how far she goes!
 This week I FINALLY made it to the pool! I have been wanting to go since it opened Memorial Day, but couldn't find my suit, and then every time I would get done with lessons and want to go it would be cloudy! Boo! Finally Thursday I was done early and it was still nice so I hopped over and stayed there for 2 hours! It was wonderful! So very relaxing and the sun felt so great! I haven't been able to be out in the sun without burning for over 6 years, thanks to some medicine I have been on. But I've finally been able to go off the medicine and now i am back to my normal non burning skin! I plan to take advantage of the pool as much as possible this summer!!

For awhile I was the only person at the pool! Wow! Talk about nice!! I got in the big pool and did some laps and then just floated on my back. That was such a beautiful moment i wanted to bottle it. Floating in the beautiful water, total silence, clouds slowly dancing through the sky. I never realized one could Worship in a swimming pool but at that moment that's what I was doing! It was just such a display of God's Handy work! 


Speaking of God's handiwork, he has been busy this week showing off!! I don't know why but I have always loved the sky right before a storm rolls in. To me it just show's God's power and strength. I don't know why but I love it. Every time I see a sky like this, I just stop and stare up at it and have a moment of worship. I often start singing "How Great thou art" because it just seems to fit the sky and moment so well! I'm thankful for those moments when I can just stop and look up at the sky and see God's creation and just be awed at his awesomeness!!!!

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...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
