Shine Bright

The Fall Season is a Tme of Reaping Rewards!!!

It is so funny how life can change!! We are so blessed with the life that God has given us!! Our children are either on their own or becoming more independent and making choices that we not only respect but also support. It isnt always easy being a parent and even harder being a step parent. So when it becomes a time that you can sit back and watch and guide and pray for rather than be in constant watch over your children it makes life so much more enjoyable!! I love hearing about Aaron our son and his band, Amanda and her persistence in her jobs, Ashton and the amazing way he has mastered Albertsons as a checker, Ashlynne and her mature thoughts of real life situations, Joyce and Trevor in their choices about a home, family, children and the love of God. My heart just sings for them and the new paths we all are seeking and what adventures that are in store for all of us!!!!

Oh, To be Mindful Of This Everyday!!!

"In the spiritual world (as in the material) there is no empty space. As self, fears, and worries depart, it follows that joy, peace, and hope rush in."
As days and nights go by I pray that I will be always replacing the empty spaces with the good that is in the world and that God has blessed us with!! I look around my life and see my wonderful husband, our six kids (that includes an awesome son-in-law), grand children, our beautiful home, church, friends and freedom. Although it seems so very little to so many, I really do not wish for much more. At this stage in my life I can say that I can enjoy it all.   

Vision

I learned to be Gods beautiful daughter years ago but some times life puts on baggage and wrinkles and scars that I cant always hide from the world. I know in my heart that I am what God made me and I love so many things about myself, but some of the ways God made me to be are not the most popular. But I will continue to press on and try to be true to myself and to God!!!
