long time no see...

The girls school had a surprise for the 700 kids that attend A.C.F.T. All week they were told that on Friday they needed to have someone pick them up bcz they had a big gift for them. As i was driving up i noticed all the kids were riding bikes.. a local church donated bikes for all the kids, what an amazing blessing this is they were sooooo happy Now we need to get chicken her own bike... poor baby

Im back, wow its been a while and so many things have happened since the last time i was here... Lets see, Thanksgiving was different, we spent it with Lance and church family. It was nice, but we sure did miss family. K came back with Bobby and Juliana so shes been here for about a month and the girls are loveing it, although i think shes ready to go home and see her mommy.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Where does the time go?? 9 yrs ago i held in my arms a one month old baby girl, teeny tiny and fully dependent on me and now shes a young lady, growing mentally and in the physical but today I saw first hand, up very close and personal how she was born again!! WOW! isn't God Amazing.. Isabel came to me and wanted to make sure she had received Jesus into her heart and what an awesome thing for a mother to lead her baby girl to the Lord! Thank You Lord for the privilege of doing that, she is Yours, now and forever! Help me to lead her and show her Your ways, let it be You she sees, use me to bring her up in all that is good, holy and Your will! This is what I always prayed for, to be able to lead my girls to the Lord.. I just cant stop smiling, there is such a joy in my heart right now I just cant contain it!! Thank You Jesus!! One down 2 more to go :)

she had to looking for the lost little sheep..lol

pumkin patch

We went to a pumpkin patch for the first time and the girls loved it!!Futer farmers of America..lol

Praise the Lord!!

What an amazing day... I got soo much done at home today, I cleaned, I organized, I collected, I was prepared for my class at church today. When I got to church I was fine up until I sat down and started my lesson, then I felt it all went down from there. They were attentive but I hardly looked at my notes, read only a few portions out of the bible, but some how God used me and I was able to leed one of the kids to the Lord today...WOW that was the first time I had the opportunity to really leed some one in the sinners pray... oh my, what an amazing feeling, Thank You Jesus for allowing me to do that. His name is Deondre, this is one day I will never forget, my prayer is that the Lord would allow me more opportunities just like this one, but I'll be more prepared... Thank You Jesus!!

What to do, what to do

Im so confused... coming out to Tx was supposed to be a good thing and a chance to start over, to better ourselves, to make a better life for our girls so why is it sooo hard. I need a clear view b/c right now i cant see past all the fog. A couple of months ago things were good, not great but good, church was going, things had settled, babe was happy or at least content, my girls had friends they considered sisters, i had a friend that i could go to, someone that i cld relate to, some one i thought i'd be friends with for life, some one i considered family and even that has changed. i guess i want it all, but why cant i have it all??? Im the daughter of the most high God, He is my Abba Father and i know He only wants the best for me, so,.. why, and how, and for what? i like my life out in the big state but i wish i cld have the other part of my life from back home that includes John and Robin, Mark and Veronica the loving church family that made my life so unbelievably amazing, my family, no matter how crazy things got i miss them like nobodys bussiness...lol only He knows, i need guidance, strength, and to remember that He and only He is in control... Lord, heal my heart, and forgive me..

a new Cowboy fan is born...

Our good friend Bern is in town this week so we took him to the New Cowboys Stadium it was soooo cool...This was on the floor in the gift shop..

good friends and great fellowship

Stephen and Kristine came to visit!! They got here around 3:00 and were able to go to church with us, too bad they had to leave today... :( They've been on the road since Sunday visiting ppl along the way, taking a nice road trip. From here they were on their way to Northern Alabama to visit her grama, then to North Carolina to visit Natalie, and then to Bama, home sweet home. May the Lord bless the rest of their trip, may He protect them and get them there safely!

Happy Birthday Isabel

It was my baby girls birthday today and I don't know where 9 yrs went, how can 9 yrs have gone by already where did they go, what has happened.... I am so blessed to have her as a daughter. Thank You Jesus for such an amazing gift!!! She's bright, imaginative, sweet, kind, thoughtful, loves the Lord, and I just couldn't ask for anything better, only He did do better b/c He blessed with two more beautiful, amazing girls and I couldn't ask for anything more!! I can remember the day she was born, the way she smelled, the way she looked, how hairy she was..lol how it felt to hold her and how it hurt like crazy to leave her in the hospital while we
went home. God has been soo good to me, 3 wonderful girls to raise up in His way, the privilege to show them the way they should go through the teaching of the Word, showing them what it means to worship, not just with their mouth but with their heart, true worship in their everyday life.

We would all take turns going in to the nicu to sit with her

We were so happy to have her home

How did she go from being my little baby that would fall asleep in the car to ths wonderful young lady.. ;(

This was her gift, a big girl room, some really cute christian T-shirst and a teen Bible

This was how we spent her bday with family, this is bettet than nothing

My prayer for them is and always will be that they be safe, be blessed, be successful, be strong, independent women but be sooooo dependent on the Lord that there is no life with out Him, to be so in tune with Him that they can hear His voice just like they hear mine. I pray for that Godly man that one day will come into their life and take (ripe..lol) them out of mine, that he be a strong God fearing God loving man and that he treat her like a princess, the daughter of the the one and only true King.
