Trevor

Little T-Man is being screened for the gifted and talented program at his school!

We have to fill out a sheet today and then they are meeting this week and then we will find out if they feel that is where he belongs.

I don't know what it entails, just happy to have a smart little man!

He is so smart, yet he doesn't want to do homework. Typical kid right :-)

He would rather spend his day picking on Hannah.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so thankful that God has blessed me so much.

Today couldn't have been more perfect.

Woke up, french toast for breakfast, we decorated the Christmas Tree, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and started cooking!!

We had turkey, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, sweet potatoes and apples, fruit salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans and little smokies, and I think thats it. Anyways it was so good and I am so full!!!

Thanksgiving

I have been posting on facebook every day what I am thankful for.


I really like doing this because I run out of stuff and start thinking of the small silly things that I am really thankful for too. Like coffee and taste buds.


I have also been thinking about all the trials in my life. I am actually thankful for them too.
Difficult childhood has taught me a lot. I am a good mom and wife to my family and I will bend over backwards in order for them to have the best life possible. I want them to have every chance to do good in this life and I want them to look back and have happy childhood memories.

Drug/alcohol/partying/fighting/etc also taught me a lot. Now I dont think anyone should do the horrid things I did. I could have died many many times, but God saw my future and kept me safe. He obviously has some plans for me. I put myself in harms way too many times. I had an addiction that I could not stop that spiraled me down in to a DEEP depression. At one point I thought that I might as well die. Thank GOD I didnt.
When I finally cried out to God, no I screamed out to Him, and really just gave up on myself and threw myself on to Him, He delivered me from the addictions. It was like one day I was addicted and the next I did not have a desire to do any of those things I was just addicted to.

Losing my grandpa was also a huge trial that brought me back to church. For that I am thankful. I was sad that it took him dying to get me back to church but he would have been so happy to know that I got back to church.

Losing my son was my hell. It was the WORST time in my life. It was also the best. The worst because my son died. I gave birth to him at home. I held my lifeless tiny sweet baby. It was horrid. The best because God was there. He held me in my tears and sorrow. He gave me peace. He wiped my tears. I was able to draw closer to Him in such a tragic time.

Then the church trama! Oh what fun. I wont even get in to that, but lets just say I was one step away from never going to church again, and then God let me know with a thump upside the head that I didnt go to church for people I went to church for Him. And then He blessed us with finding New Hope Church and our lives changed dramatically after that.

The most recent trial was losing Matthews dad to pancreatic cancer. The most awful cancer there is. It broke my heart to pieces to know how bad he was fighting and hurting and suffering.... you want to just simply ask God WHY! WHY! WHY! But through it all George never really complained, he let his wife care for him, he fought and fought until Janice finally said it was ok for him to go. He went soon after that. He clung to God, he looked forward to Heaven and he had a peace about him that was beautiful.

So my point in all of this is no matter what trial you are going through, you can pull something good out of it. Even if it is something small, it will make the trial seem a little less horrible if you cling to that one good thing.

Through all my junk I have clung to the fact that I have helped people that I would not have been able to help had I not gone through that trial, I have become a much stronger more confident person, I have grown leaps and bounds closer to Jesus, and on and on the good things roll. I am thankful for every day and every second of the life God has given me, everything in the past and everything thats to come.

I hate bad dreams!!

I had a dream last night that Hannah got kidnapped and the person kept hiding her in our house, which was this huge house, and we couldnt find her. It was so real and so scary. I hate having bad dreams


The part that freaks me out the most is that I have had bad dreams about this same house for years. I dont know what it is or why but this same house has been in my dreams for a ong time and I do not like it!! It has nothing but bad associated with it in my dreams.


Oiy. Off for some coffee now in hopes to forget about this dream.

I have just got nothing to blog about.
