I am so Grateful.....

Hello to everyone in blogspot world & to everyone who receives my blog via email.... I can't believe that I am still awake. It is 1:20 am right now & I am wide awake. Well I haven't been able to sleep to well lately. Everyone who has ever been pregnant know what I am talking about, being expecting & coming to the end  has it's challenges. I just wanted to express how grateful I am for my family & friends..... The love & support that my husband gives me is amazing & I couldn't have prayed for a better companion to walk through life with. Oh my two girls what a blessing they are to me I can't put into words the depth of love & joy that they give to me. I am a blessed woman! Don't get me wrong life is not all peaches & cream you will have test & trials. Sometimes life can be down right hard..... I have learned that through all you have to have a perspective of your outcome. I have learned to be content & trust the Lord with life's uncertainties. Do I do that all the time? Well no & that is honest but I try..... to be transparent sometimes I feel like there is no way out & how can the situations or circumstances change. Like I have said in previous post we must refocus & have a perspective of our outcome -this to shall pass. I have also learned that there is something to be said about test, it shows you what you are truly made of. To everyone reading YOU are stronger than you think, believe it! Well to my family they make me smile & I am blessed beyond words to have them in my life as well as the friends that God has placed in my life & you know who you are. Thank you for not judging me, for being honest, for the laughs, etc... I am grateful & no matter the circumstance I remain optimistic about life. I refuse to let anyone take my joy please readers do the same don't let anyone rob you of your joy & peace. I read a while ago that the world & people can't take something away from you that they didn't give to you. Also that people will always be people just remember to be consistent & true to who you are  & keep your peace & joy! I really like those two statements... Well I am getting tired & maybe I can get some shut eye before I wake up again to go to the bathroom & then be wide awake for a couple of hours hahaha.... It is all good it is to be expected. Thank you to my husband for putting up with me being pregnant & I know I can be all over the place at times. To my girls we had such a wonderful time today coloring, playing games, & singing... Girls your smiles alone make my heart leap for joy. To everyone who is reading remember there is nothing that is to big for you to handle & you will get through anything that you may be facing... Until next time God Bless You All  =)

Spending time with my MOM

Just wanted to write about the time the girls & I had with my mom today. We had such a wonderful time together, I am feel so blessed. We didn't do anything extraordinary... but we met at a park & ride & then went to the store & then had lunch. The girls had so much fun being with their Grandma & their mom. You know when we were younger many of us took so much for granted & it didn't occur to us that our loved ones have our best interest at heart. I think back & think what a rebellious teen I was & how I didn't want to spend time with my mother at all.... Or how about this "she doesn't understand me and she never will" LOL.... Well that was never true it is just a phase that so many teens go through in thinking parents don't know a thing & they were never the same age. My mother is such a pleasure to be around & she gets me more than anyone that I know. It never fails that we share laugh after laugh together.... I honor her everyday & I can't tell you how grateful I am to have her in my life. I have many friends who have lost their mother or father & the way they have said if only I had one more minute with them. I am not going to have any regrets about the time that my mother & I spent, of course there will be the longing to spend more time with her. What I am saying is like something my Aunt Marguerite lived by is cherishing every moment & leaving nothing unsaid or undone. My day was wonderful with my beautiful , strong, hilarious, loving, & a woman of God mother. I love you mom!

For all who are wondering about May 21, 2011

Hope that all is well in Blogspot world..... Just wanted to quickly touch on a subject that so many are confused about or questioning. Harold Camping has proclaimed that today would be the end of the world as we know it.... Well he is a professing christian & says that he believes every word in the bible. Well if that were true then what about this Harold?

Matthew 24:36-44 (New International Version)

The Day and Hour Unknown

    ³⁶ “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,^[a] but only the Father. ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.   ⁴² “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.⁴³ But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴ So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
                                                                                                  


That is what the bible says Harold Camping... People we must not blame or mock other christian believers for this mans mistakes & proclamations. I feel so bad for the followers that he has had that have followed him blindly instead of doing their own research for truth. Let us pray for them & Harold that his eyes would be opened.... I pray that all have a good nights rest....

I should be sleeping

Wow time passes by so quickly..... well my family is expecting baby # 3 & we are so excited. There is so much to look forward to... My other two are just growing so fast it is a blessing to see them grow. Better yet I am so blessed to even be able to have children. On a different note you know life can dish you all types of curve balls, blessings, test, trials, etc. It is all about how you choose to handle it is the real test of your character. It shows who you are & what you are made of. To all out there is blogspot world that are going through something I want you to know that you are stronger than you think.... & that is truth. As I have written in my previous blogs it is all about your perspective: you must not focus on your problems but you must have a perspective of your outcome.... You win! You are a winner! You will get through it... A lot of the time the issue or situation is really not as big as it seems. You have to look at the big picture. The main point is that you go through it & not give in or give up mid way through. I don't know why I just wrote all that but I am sure it is for someone out there. I am a strong believer in sharing what you go through or have gone through -experiences, triumphs, whatever it may be helps people even if it is just 1 out of 100. Well I am extremely tired & need to get some rest before the sun rises LOL... Good Night & Peace to everyone.

Where does the time go?

I hope all of you are well out in blog spot world. Where does the time go? It seems like it is here & people are here & then they are gone. Wow! I had a wonderful conversation with my Aunt Marguerite the other day & we talked about life. She is 87 years young & full of knowledge. We had such a great conversation about how we as people need to roll with the punches in life & know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My Aunt said if life deals you lemons you should take them & make lemonade. So much wisdom just poured out of her mouth & she said to make the most of my time because life is to short. Also she explained that she has helped everyone that she could help in her life. We need to help those who we can help. When I hung up the phone I felt so blessed to even know her & that she has been in my life. One thing that I won't forget is that she said that she used to spend to much of her time worrying about what other people thought. Don't waste time spend every minute wisely & have no regrets she said, she said that she has no regrets. Wow that is amazing to me, a life with no regrets. Being on the phone with her & writing down every word that came out of her mouth is a day that I will never forget. My Aunt Marguerite-a woman of knowledge, peace, faith, & most of all a woman of prayer. I love her & I love my family. Please everyone don't waste time because we won't get those moments back. I look at my girls now 4 & 1 time goes by so fast. Heres to every minute matters & spending time with our family & friends who mean so much to us. To no regrets!

What are the odds

Wow I haven't been able to write in a while due to moving, computer problems, & the list could go on forever. There is so much to write but I think I'll begin to tell everyone about my day yesterday. It was so cold outside that most sane people were nice & warm in their homes. It was about 19 degrees that felt like 5 degrees when the wind blew. Well I had to pick up my oldest from school & we had to go to the store to pick up a few things. I got the baby & my oldest daughter out of the car & we went into the store got the things that we needed & left. We made it to the car & everyone was buckled in, I was estatic because I was freezing. I turned to the cart to move it out of the way because I was free sailing to get into the car & leave. Guess what? There was something in the cart -the other package of wipes that I didn't pay for. UHHHHH! This is definitely a joke I thought to myself. I thought I am being punk'd or that I was on candid camera or something.
Any other person probably would have done one of these 3 things----
1)left the wipes in the cart & gone home
2)taken the wipes out & left with them without thinking twice about paying
3) taken the wipes home & then when it was time to go back to the store then pay

Well I did 4) took everyone out of the car & went in to pay- ---
Yes as I began to tell my oldest that we had to go back in to pay she was furious telling me that it is just to cold to go back in. I told her that we had no option we were going in to pay for something that we didn't pay for & that is the right thing to do.
With that being said it was cold but my daughter learned a lesson about doing what is right. Hears to going with the flow & making the best of it, also to life lessons that come from situations that arise. Well I will be going to bed soon, I hope everyone has a restful sleep.

It has been busy!

Wow it has been so busy lately for me with driving my oldest to school & then picking her up. Also I have had a lot to do at home, life really can be crazy busy at times. I came across something that I found to be encouraging, food for thought if you will. I will try to post it tomorrow. Well I hope that everyone had a good day. I pray that everyone is encouraged because there is so much to look forward to. Some might say well how can you be so optimistic you don't know what I am going through. Your right I don't know but one thing that I do know is that the storm will not last & it really is all about perspective. I have a dear friend that had cancer & has beat it. Was she optimistic when she was going through it? No she wasn't it looked very dark the storm was raging. Did her storm last? No thank God it didn't & she is alive & well. On the other hand I had a friend who I grew up with that had cancer & he was optimistic & made peace with his condition. He was determined to make the most out of his life & love his family & friends. I can still hear his voice saying don't cry for me but instead be happy for me because I know where I am going when I die. Wow! powerful because it is really on how you perceive everything that you go through. So let us live life to the fullest & cherish every single moment of our lives. Talk to everyone soon.
