These are days I LOVE!!

Just my thought from today

2011-09-28T11:54:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the desire to show the world, country, city, youth how amazing God is & how we can be set FREE from pain, hurt whatever else we struggle with because of Jesus dying on the cross. Sometimes we forget the bigger picture, we caught up in all the things going on around us and look inward instead of remembering what we were created for. To WORSHIP Him and Show His LOVE to those who do not know His LOVE like we do.

This song has been playing over and over in my room and the last part of the song really speaks to me.
Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You

I want that for our world, our country, our city and especially our youth!
Here's the all the words to the song.

Tears Down the Walls by Hillsong United

Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves

PRE CHORUS:
And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real

PRE CHORUS 2:
Cause I don't need to see it to believe it

Cause I can't shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart

That all creation would
Come back to You
It's all for You

Faithfulness

2009-09-29T12:43:00.000-07:00

Well I haven't wrote a blog in a LONG time! So I decided to write one with the extra time I have today. This is the fourth week of homeschooling the boys and its going GREAT! This year is the third year of homeschooling and its the BEST too. I'm am getting the hang of it and I think the kids are really enjoying it too. Its been such a great day and I am so full of the JOY of the Lord. Because of his Joy I have been giving strength to get thru this day.

In my quiet time this morning God was speaking to me about faithfulness. To be honest I'm not faithful but I do want to be. I want to be faithful with all aspects of my life. Whatever it be I want to be faithful but most of all I want to be faithful to him. Not just making sure I talk to him and worshiping him daily but mainly reading his word everyday. I know I cant do it without him and then I am encouraged I can do it. He is in me and thru him I can do all things. I don't know about you but that pretty awesome no matter how much I screw up our relationship he forgives, forgets and then continues to LOVE me! I know this is a simple revelation but when I get busy with life I have to be reminded of these things.

Well I wanted to share two songs that I have enjoyed GREATLY today!! I posted the lyrics and a video so ENJOY!!!

Hillsong United
You Deserve

What is this love given to us
That saved my life through selfless sacrifice
Although we fail the cross prevails
Forgiveness stands
You take me back again

You’ve shown me life
You’ve opened my eyes
So I give You my praise
Yeah I give You my all
You’ve shown me life
You’ve opened my eyes
To the truth that there’s no greater love

Now in the darkness God’s light shines
Christ forever glorified
So come on come on sing out to God
Now with all we’ve got
We live for You our God

Salvation’s strong in Christ alone
The Saviour King alone in victory
I step aside give You my life
For You to move do what You want to do

I can’t imagine a life without You without You
‘Cause it’s all for You
Yeah it’s all for You
God

Hillsong
You Hold Me Now

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fear is swept away
In the light of your embrace
When Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails

When Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day

When the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name x4

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now x3

Tear Down The Walls

2009-06-18T12:39:00.000-07:00

Ok so I have to write about this song. I have been listening to this one song since last Thursday and its so powerful! I cant stop singing everywhere I go. So we sung it at 1829 last night and I was blown away even more when I read the words to one verse. Its like a reminder and a promise of what we are suppose to do and what can happen . It bring me to tears the love that I have for his people now. I love singing in the car and worshipping him where I go. But I am singing more out loud and not just at home or in the shower. hehe But while I am grocery shopping or when I am waiting in a check out line. I want God inhabit the praises of his people where ever I go. I want to be that light in the dark places. Seriously who else is going to do it I cant rely on someone else to do it. I just need to do it. My heart hurts but and the same time it has hope for his people! I want to make a difference in this city where ever I go! Well here are the lyrics to the song I have been listen to none stop. Its on the new Hillsong United CD called Tear Down The Walls

Tear down the walls see the world

PRE CHORUS:
And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real

Cause I can't shake this fire burning

Your Love Never Fails

2009-06-03T12:46:00.000-07:00

So I have been listening to Your Love never fails a LOT lately. I really listen to it over and over. So it made me think today why am I listening to it so much.Then I realized its the song that expresses what I feel at this time. I start to really listen to the words and then I realized that its my testimony. His redeeming love is what changed me. His love is what changed my life forever! It also continues to be his love that overwhelms me. Even now I am so overwhelmed by his love and this song expresses it. Its like I had a light turn on in my head. Every time I worship its to a song that express his love to me or my love for him. Thats the reason I can give him everything in my life is because of his love. This is also why my heart burns for the lost because I want them to experience the love that I have from my heavenly father. Even the healing from his love that I have also experienced. I want my family, my friends especially my children to experience the love from our heavenly father. Well I just wanted to express my heart and encourage you to just take time to experience his love for you today! Oh here are the words to Your Love Never Fails.

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good

I Am Not The Same

2009-05-05T11:11:00.000-07:00

Well I haven't written a blog in such a long time but I do think its time to tell everyone of what God has done in our lives the last year.

It started last year at youth camp God was just working in our hearts about things in our(James and me) life. Then we come back from camp and the prophetic conference starts the first nite James and I got a word. One thing James asked God was he wanted something specific and God gave him a specific time. Things were still being broken off us even 8 years later. We took it to heart and started praying it in. We asked God so many questions the next six months. As those six months went by God did something in us and we began to change and brake off of us. We had still dealt with shame and doubting ourselves. It was a good six months, things even changed in the way we saw God and his goodness. Around christmas things changed even more for us. We had to trust God even more for his provision and he did provide. Then God put certain people in our lives and that helped us even more with what we were going through. I began to evaluate myself and see who I was in God. As I did this for Dec, Jan and Feb I began to realize I can still achieve the desires of my heart. So I started to paint again I hadn't really done it since I was a kid but I was determined to set time a side for it. Well as I have searched to see who I am in him I have begun to have a confidence thru him too. But there were still things I needed to deal with.

So then March 23rd we were candidates in the Prophectic Conference. We were so excited! I didn't know what to expect but I wasn't nervous either. Let me tell you it was so amazing. We got some pretty amazing words then to top it off our church had an offering for us. In that moment I was so blown away by the Love from Shady Grove Church. I didn't know how to receive that. You see nothing against my parents but we were not a lovely dovey family we knew we loved each other but didn't show it too often. So God has dealt with me these last 8 1/2 with such a loving Husband and children. So there were so many words I cant even remember right now but it was the fuel we needed to continue to endure the race and to know if we had made the right decisions in out lives. One thing they said was that I absolutely loved was that I was meant to be with James. I will say that made me even more happy not that I have ever thought that we don't belong together but I know people have said that we weren't meant to be and that we just got married because of Gabriel. So when they spoke that we were meant be to together over us I know it broke off those lies from the enemy. They also spoke about my dreams that God was going to speak even more clearly through them. They also said that my tears would be healing tears for the girls that need the same healing. They said that James would raise up an army of young men. One thing I loved hearing was not to transition to another ministry but to stay with the one we are in. I love pouring into youth and young adults. So we left that day so full of encouragement and fuel to continue on with the race.

It doesn't stop there then we were blessed with tickets to go to Cyprus. I have been praying for God to make a way for us to go for about 2yrs now and here we were about to finally go. This was also our first trip overseas together. We were so excited! Our trip to Cyprus was life changing. That community is just so amazing. The school just blew me away. To see these young adults worshipping God and serving each other was just so wonderful to see. They are definitely doing something life changing at Gateways Beyond. They had worship from 8 to 1030 then teachings to 1030 to 1230. then there was lunch and back to teachings from 2 to 4 pm. Peter Prothero the speaker that week and we were told he was an amazing teacher. So we sat in all the teachings while he was there. All I can say is his teachings were so rich with the knowledge of God and his word. Well when we weren't in the teaching we got to hang out with the students and the our friends from texas. Everyone just impacted my life in some kind of way. Whether it was something I saw them do or heard them say. The people at that school were so serving, so loving and so encouraging. I will never be the same because of them. They prophsesied over us before we left and it was just so shocking to me. During that week we were there I had alot of conversations with God about concerns, questions and people I was worried about. God spoke to them and just reasurred me of things and encouraged me about EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING I had talked to him about that week. Even now as I write this I am so overwelemed by his love and goodness. Well the secenry was breathe taking we got to drive around a little and see some villages. I have never been to a place where it hurt to leave. I know I will be back someday!

Well the last tihing I want to say today was as these days go on I see how God has changed me so much. I just feel this constant Joy of the Lord. Just when I thought he was done with me last night happens. We had a special speaker from Ethiopia named Mezmur Zemicheal. Listening to him preach was just eye opening then he gave an altar call if you had bondage in your life that was holdin you back to come up and recieve the fire. The Holy Spirit reveled something in my life that was hindering me so I went up. I am being very very vunerble when i say this out loud to you but I had a serious fear of man. More in the area of getting up in front of people and teaching, preaching or even giving a word. I have always known about this fear but for some odd reason would never get rid of it. I guess in so many ways I was also afraid to tell others about it because then I knew people would challenge me to do those things I was afraid to do. So I cried out to him and asked him to remove that bondage so that I may be used by him. WOW when Mezmur prayed over me the first time he continue to shout over me " You will NEVER be the same!" When he said that I just began to baul my eyes out. That was God promise to me and I just began to weep more. Once again I thought God was done with me and then Mezmur prayed over me again. God BLASTED me again! He said some other stuff but cant remember them right now. All I can say is God knows what his people need and if we are willing to be free from the junk in our lives he will FREE us from it! I woke up this morning and I knew I needed to profess what God has done in my life this past year. I am so excited to see what God has for us these next coming years. Thank you for reading this and I pray God Blesses you. I also pray that God will pour into you and that you will be ruined by God like I have been.

Love ya and God Bless!!!

So she said I hav an infection it it and I would hav to wait to pull it and so she gave me antibiotic and pain killers. So I hav to wait a week of pain to pull it out not fun at all.

I am totally just sittin here soakin his presence in. Let me ask you a question when was the last time you just sat in his presence. Not talkin to him just sittin or layin there doin nothin but think about him and then you just feel him and you just know he is holdin you. When was the last time that happend for me months and now I am doin it at home I thought it could only be done at ANHOP but no it is possible to be done at home and it is so much better because then your house is just filled with his presence. So whoever walks thru your doors will feel Gods presence and take it with them. That is why I want to do it at home because I want everyone to feel God like I do. I am truely happy in his presence. I hav a husband and kids and they could never make me happy like God my heavenly father can. Guys God is soooooo good. He is so faithfull with his word he says it and then he does it the time is not always what we want but he stills does it. WOW this blog turned out to be more then I planned it to be. I hope God is touchin you as you read this that HIS anointin will be imparted to you. Love you and I pray that you go deep in God. God Bless YOU!!!!!

I struggle with not really having a best friend to talk to all the time. I have my sister but sometimes I just can't talk to her not because I don't want to but just because where she is with God. Not exactly at the place where I can go to her for advice. But please pray for me that I will find God to be my true friend. I just need a friend but I guess I don't go look for one either but my life is so busy. Anyways I also frustrated about my Mary Kay stuff I just can't get back on my feet I took a break when I was moving and went to Mexico and now I can't get back on my feet. I am just struggle mainly with these things. I get down and out with these things and they effect my day.

She is a huge Ranger fan and I am becoming a baseball fan plus a Ranger fan. My Dad was a Yankee fan so i just was a Yankee fan because he was. But I love going to Ranger games and my hubby was the one to take me to my first. Anyways I had a blast and she invited Angela too. It was so hot let me tell you being in that sun was almost unbearable. When we got home around 5pm we took a nap and I didn't wake up til like 6:30pm. That sun sure did drain our energy. Oh yeah I have never sat that close we were behind 3rd base and the ninth row they were awesome seats!!!!

Well we left Thursday morning and got there around 7pm. Friday we worked on the church James and Brad laid down tile in their bathrooms and the rest of us scraped old glue off their sanctuary floor. Saturday we went to South Padre Island all day long it was cold water and there was a storm out in the gulf and the waves were huge. Sunday we went to their church and we didn't get done with it til like 4:30pm but it did go by fast for us. Monday we finished the bathrooms and we buffed the floor. When we were done with the floor it was white. That nite we went to the Bermuda (the city dump) it is where the poor people live at and we handed out candy, food, and money. That was an awesome nite! Tuesday we kinda sleep in and then we were off to San Antonio. We got there around 5pm and went to the Alamo and walked around the River walk and ate dinner on the River walk and stay in New Braunfels Tuesday nite. Wednesday we woke up and went tubing down the Guadalupe River and after that we headed home.

So James has left for Mexico. It has only been 1 hour but I already miss him. But I do wish I got to go instead because he will be so busy and won't miss me that much but I will be sitting at home lonely. I think I am going to stay with my sister these five lonely days. On top of everything James forgot his phone so I am very mad at him for that. I can't call him anytime I miss him. Which would be every hour. I seriously don't know what to do I truly miss him. Well I think I am going to go back to bed I woke up at 6am so I am a little tired. Hopefully the boys sleep all day because I could. I am pretty tried. Oh my neighbor feeds all these cats and when James and me were loading the truck a cat sneaked in the house I ran it out of course. So when I got home it smells like it sprayed in my living room. I am totally reporting my neighbor to the pound. I hate cats especially today. OK the boys are getting tried so got to go!! BYE!!!

OK so I have been pretty busy lately and I made sure I was busy because of March 17, but this is the first day in awhile where I feel like to nothing it just hit me today. I have been doing so well lately probably because I have been busy. I just want to ask for pray that this weekend goes well for me and my family. Like my sister said it is going to be harder for my older siblings for they don't know God like I would love them to. I do pray that God is with them and that they feel him there with them. This is truly getting hard for me and I don't want to call my sister while I am like this I always try to be strong for my family. So thanks for letting me vent I think I am OK now. I Love being able to vent like this. Well got to go paint, yeah!

March 9, 2006 - Thursday 10:41 PM - Ok update on my life!

2009-03-04T12:19:00.001-08:00

Ok I need to update on my life. So last week our renters moved out and broke our lease. Totally sucks! Then we finally got a key and went and looked at the place and it was trashed. Not happy about that ! So sunday we had some people over and some looked at how trashed it was. I told them that I was plannin on cleanin it up monday. So Gus said he would help since he had nothin better to do and he was off from lifewalk. So monday I picked him up and we cleaned it or me. James was there and him and Gus wanted to see what the attic looked like so Gus went up first and then James. So I was sweepin one of the rooms and then I heard a crash noise. I saw Gus' leg hangin from the ceilin. I laughed so hard then I heard him say "dude I straddled the wall." he fell thru my side of the house too. We live in a duplex. Then I stopped laughin but my side is fixed now. Then tuesday came along I painted one of the rooms and realized that I need more help. So James came home from hanging out at Brad's house and asked me if I wanted to move to a nicer house. I told him I'd pray about it. Then he told me that Brad wants to make this warehouse into like a college dorm for guys. Like a place to live and hang out at but also still be under authority. He thought of puttin a guy leader head of it, like a Dorm Leader but thought that it would be better if it was an older more mature man of God. Then he asked us to be like the Dorm Leaders and live in the house which is next to the building. I prayed about it and we are doin it. So far Brandon, Gus, and some others are goin to stay there. We will have rules and requirements and will interview them. They will have to pay rent but practically have everything provided Brad even told James I mite have to cook dinner sometimes but I am cool it is totally God. God takin James and me to a different place especially James. So if you know anyone who is a college aged guy and interested tell them to call Brad. So I have to fix up next door and be ready to move by like next weekend. So if anybody wants to help me with anything. You sure are welcomed to. I am havin people over to help me paint saturday so if you aren't doin anything come hav fun. I am providing lunch too. Ok I got to do some tax stuff.

BYE!!!

Ok so today is Wednesday and I haven't done laundry yet. I usually do it on Monday or Tuesday and today is Wednesday. This really sucks I am so back up in laundry I can't even begin to do it. You know how you just get to the point that you are so overwhelmed you can't do anything well thats me I totally hav shut down my body to do anything. I want to cry because I really need to get back on track but I just can't motivate myself to do anything except sit here and wish I was asleep. Ethan is keepin me up because he wants to play but thats all that is keepin me awake. I could fall asleep right here. oh man!!! Ya'll just pray that I get the strength and motivation to get the things I need to get done, PLEASE!!!! Well I am goin to go stare at the pile of laundry that I need to do. BYE!!!!

February 21, 2006 - Tuesday 12:24 PM - Yesterday I was at the hospital

2009-03-04T12:04:00.000-08:00

OK so yesterday was not a good day for me. i got up and took Gabriel to school then got home and got on the computer did the usual checked bank stuff and myspace. Ethan woke up and wanted breakfast. So I gave him a banana and I had two also. Then like 15 mins later my foot started to itch so i itch it then my arms then my face. i didn't itch my face because Gabriel had pink eye last week and i didn't want to touch my eyes in case that was what it was. then i felt my lips started to swell and the i couldn't breathe. now i have these allergy attacks now and then and they can be life treating because my throat starts to swell shut and my eyes swell shut too and when it starts to do that i take like 4 benadryl and it stops it. but this one was different my lips started to swell then my nose then my eyes i looked like will smith did on hitch so James got back from picking Gabriel from school and took me to the hospital and the doctor said it mite be bananas. he said that people can eat a certain food then your body all of the sudden can reject it and that is what my body did. so no more bananas for me sounds funny huh? i do love them but i have to live without them. and i feel crappy because i am on benadryl and it makes me feel sleepy all the time. so that was my day. guess i will go now Ethan is hungary. bye

OK so yesterday and today I helped James do some work and I am tried. Even though he did most of the work I mainly came along for someone to talk to. He says he gets bored. So I helped my husband out and now he left to do something else does he help me so the dishes no but thats cool he paid my by buying me a CHI flat iron! WHOOHOO!!!!!!! I am so excited. I have wanted one for a while. I got it on ebay for like $60 and should get it in a week. Oh yeah!! I am on top of the world!!!

February 7, 2006 - Tuesday 2:41 PM - I am so emotional right now!

2009-03-04T11:56:00.000-08:00

OMG!! Why does my husband have to be so mean? I don't understand him. He told me to tell my mom about sky ranch and so I did and then he makes fun of me and tells me that I am dramatic and emotional. I know I am emotional but come on give me a break. I am so upset I haven't told him but lately I have been upset about my Dad not being here. Somethings just remind me how much I miss him. I miss watching TV with him and just being able to talk to him because no matter what I said he was interested and just listen. I also miss how he would just love on me. I miss his hugs and the way he just wanted to spend time with us. He loved the boys so much. He would want to play with them all the time and he would always ask if he could watch them. I miss him so much. But I got to think of the good because he laid his life done just so he could provide for us. That is an awesome Dad and now he gets to receive form God! And that alone should make me happy. So I am going to think only on the good! He use to want to take us out to eat like every Friday of course we would go free dinner and with my family now that is fun for me. I feel much better voicing my pain and crying a little bit. so talk to ya later!

February 7, 2006 - Tuesday 12:46 PM - Gabriel's Morning

2009-03-04T11:55:00.000-08:00

OK so today I totally woke up to take Gabriel to school. James and me decided that we would take him together and go have breakfast as a family then take him to school. So we had breakfast and then took him to school James was going to walk him to class because he never gets to do that. So he went to the front desk to see if Gabriel was late and then he threw up on the floor. So he couldn't stay he had to go home if he has a fever, diarrhea, and if he throws up. So we woke up early and drove all the way over there and he couldn't stay at school. And that was my morning but the good thing is we all came home and took a nap. Today is a good day because it is our movie nite and I love being able to stay home and chill with my family. So does anybody have any suggestions on movies to watch tonite I am opened? Alrighty then buh bye!

February 2, 2006 - Thursday 12:22 PM - interesting Morning

2009-03-04T11:52:00.000-08:00

OK so today was interesting for me. To start off I woke up late and I had to hurry and wake up Gabriel so he could go to school. Then in all the rushing i got Gabriel out of the car trying to get him to breakfast and i shut the door with my keys in it. So i had to wait like 45 mins in the morning cold for James to bring me keys. I love him so much for doing that i totally messed up and he was still there for me. A knight in shining armor! So i decide we would go to breakfast together. But Ethan was not happy about being up earlier then usual. But all and all it was a interesting morning. So now I have some cleaning to do and laundry to do. BYE!!!

January 22, 2006 - Sunday 2:39 AM - It was Dino Day for us!!

2009-03-04T11:51:00.000-08:00

OK so today was so much fun! James and me woke up today and decided to take the boys to the Omni theater and to the Dinosaur exhibit at the fort worth museum of science and history. It was so much fun! We went to see this T-Rex movie then to the Lone Star Dino exhibit. Ethan loved it he loves dinosaurs. It was the best thing in the world! It was nice just being the family together. I definitely want to do it again maybe see another movie there. I hadn't gone to the Omni since i was a kid. So i definitely want to go back and that was a wonderful DAY!

2009-03-04T11:45:00.000-08:00

Ok so as you know James and me went to Pete's last nite for Greg's 21st Birthday. I had a petty good time. So when we got there we had front tables that was pretty cool and then we waited for everybody to show up. When everybody finally did Uncle Michael tip the guy playin the piano (i totally forgot his name) $50 to embarrass Greg so they totally brought him on stage and tried to embarrass him but it is hard to embarrass Greg. But he had fun being up here. I tell you what I never want to go to Pete's for my birthday I would hav totally been embarrassed. As you know I was pretty tried and so was Greg, Heather, and James plus we were all hungry. So we left and went to Bennigan's. So we got seated and had this AWESOME waitress Katie she was so nice to us and funny. She even could put up with James and his remarks. She totally would say stuff back at James it was so funny. And if you know James he can get pretty annoying with his remarks. So we left and went to pick up my kids which did good at James Aunt Leslie'shouse. So that was my nite and now here are some pictures.

God Gave Me A Desire Of My Heart

2008-10-16T14:45:00.000-07:00

So today I got alot of things done that I have needed to get done. I feel pretty accomplished.

So while making lunch for the kids James came home for lunch. He ran in and said he was going to get me something then ran out and took a box. Well when he did fianlly come back he put the box on the table. Ok for our anniversary we went shopping we went to this antique store and I showed him all the things I have always wanted since I was a little girl. Anyways back to the story He pulled out these old figures that our neighbor was trying to sell us when we moved in two years ago. Then he pulled out brass candlestick holders (one of the things James was looking to buy at the antique store). Then the big surprise was he pulled out a box and asked me to open it. It was a real Silver Silverware set. I have been wanting one since I was a little girl. I was so HAPPY!! I even cried alittle, I was filled with so much JOY!!! I was happy my hubby got it for me but most of all I knew it was by God that our neighbor had a garge sale and was selling it. I just felt so loved by my heavenly father. He had given me a desire of my heart. Even now I am so filled JOY!!!

So I looked up online to see how old it was and it was made in 1938. It is the Holmes & Edwards Danish Princess Silverware Set and I can get replacements. I am really excited!!! I'll post a picture when its cleaned.

Now I have two other things that I have always wanted its a Silver Tea Set and a Silver comb, brush and mirror set.

Well I got to go make dinner so Good Nite and God Bless!!!

A Very Nice Nite

2008-10-14T22:45:00.001-07:00

So I just wanted to write about my nite. Well I would just like to say that today went by way to fast. Then came time to make dinner. Well I look in the refrigator and find nothing to make. You see I sent my hubby to the grocery store last nite without me. I came hm from Girls Smallgroup and it looked like he got some good stuff but then again he got the kids ice cream and a bunch of junk food. That I was not happy about. But I moved on and told him not to do that we are trying to live healthier lives. So I look to see that there is nothing to cook for dinner. There was tons of fruit and juice but no veggies. So I have to try to improvise with what we have so I decide to make a Veggie Soup totally Vegan. I would like to say with the time I had and the amount of food I had it turned about GREAT!! I am so proud of myself.

So we were suppose to have a family nite with my mom and Angela and watch a movie but my mom's friend called and took her out for her birthday dinner. So then Angela left too. Well we went ahead and watched Iron Man. Which was AMAZING!! We absolutely loved it. It was such a cool movie and Iron Man was so cool just ask my boys. Gabriel is going around and making the noises and keeps asking me if they can have a suit like that. Well during the movie Julia stopped by for something and she noticed a racoon by our back door digging in our trash can(which i never do b/c we have racoons but my mother did). Si James ran to get Gabriel's BeeBee Gun. He went out the garge door and turns out their were two. He finds them on the otherside of the pool. Now before people freak out that he shot the racoon we did it so they would leave it just stings them probably scares the crap out them too. But he shot them a couple of times. But it didn't work they keep coming back. Racoons scare me I don't want to be coming home and find them on the porch and attack on of my kids because they are HUGE seriously scary. Well hopefully they don't come back.

Anyways that was our nite full of good food, good movie and adventure. :) Well better go to bed so God Bless!!!

A Painter I am

2008-10-13T12:32:00.000-07:00

Well I had a good weekend even though it turned out way different then I planned. I had planned to go to the Alliance Airshow then get rid of kids and go on a date with my hubby maybe see a movie and sunday would be a day of rest. Well saturday was the TX vs OU game which James and me did forget. So he went to Josh's to watch it. He was gone from 10:30am to 4pm. I was so not happy with that. We had planned to spend a day as a family but no he had to watch football and then go play foorball with the guys. Well I had a wonderful quiet time with the Lord friday night that God quickly put me in my place to honor my Husband. So I was reminded of that quiet time when the anger started to build up and let me tell you people life can be so much better if we don't quick to anger and get offened. Let go of those offenses and bitterness. Anyways so I let it go and moved on. I had such a better day without it. So when he did get hm he wanted to make veggie sushi for me and him. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! So I dropped off the kids at his parents house then came home to sushi!!! It was a realxed night.

Well something God has put on my heart is to start painting again but I have no painting tools(they got thrown away while moving) or the time. So I decided to go buy supplies at Hobby Lobby. My husband is amazing to go with me to Hobby Lobby and help me pick out supplies for painting. Let me tell you I forgot how painting is an expenisve hobby but I had to start all over. :( So then we went to some other stores and then home. To top it off James let me watch Sense and Senseibilty that nite again. I also began to paint a picture. I will post it when I am finished with it. I just love art! I love flowers all kinds. If you want to get me a painting get me flowers or landscape. I want to paint landscapes. Lots of painters want to go to Paris, France to paint but I want to go to England and paint English Landscapes. This is how I was raised. We were always surrounded by things that were cultureal. As kids my parents took us to symphonies, museums, plays and ballets. As an adult I still love going to these events. I want to raise my children like I was, in this aspect atleast. I want my children to be raise with class and a love for cultureal things. As a matter of fact I can't wait to go to the King Tut Exhibit or The Nutcraker at the Bass Hall this year. Even thinking about these I am so excited.

Well anyways I once again went to bed late and somehow got up just in time to make it to elevate 10mins late. So sunday we chilled then I went to pick up the kids. Angela, Sarah, Me and the boys were going to go to the Omni to go see the Deep Sea. It was AMAZING!!! I loved it and so did the boys I highly remcommand it if you like documentaries. The film quailty was amazing to me. The boys got scared at some parts but it was such a good experience. Then we came home to find that the cowboys lost. Well I got to go get the boys to clean their room so God Bless!!!

Delirious

2008-10-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

Well today went by pretty fast. We did school work then cleaned the house. I put Emma down for a nap and finished watching Sense and Sensibility. I cried at the end and I know how it ends. I felt so stupid but for some odd reason it was so romantic. Then I got on the computer to check emails and decided to write a blog.

So I was sitting here listening to Delirious and got really sad that they are done after 2008 is over. I have been a fan since I was 14yrs which was 11yrs ago. It really saddens me greatly. So I looked up when they would be coming to this side of the world and found out they were coming Nov 20, 21 and 22 to Houston TX. They are leading worship for a Joyce Meyers Conference at Lakwood church. So I asked James if we could go and he said we can try. So I think the plan is to drive down friday morning and drive back late saturday nite. I am so excited not only am I going to see them but they are leading worship not having a concert. Its going to be so awesome!!!! I think it would so cool if we could get a bunch a people to go that would so much fun. I think Angela is coming but I am not bringing any kids. So it will be a cool road trip. I so can't wait but something I really can't wait for is the cruise!!! 25 more days!!! Well I got to get ready for church and emma needs a bath real bad so hope you have a great nite and God bless!!!!

Here is what they wrote on their blog.

The End of an Era - press releaseJul 06 2008
We would like to address all our fans, our friends and people around the world who have faithfully supported Delirious?

After 14 albums, thousands of shows in front of millions of people, and many extraordinary memories, we have decided that at the end of 2009 we will take a break from recording and playing as a band.

Our decision was triggered by a request from Martin to be released from the band to pursue new projects including his work with CompassionArt and the desire to be at home more with Anna and his children. We have of course honoured this request and made a decision together that now is the time to end this chapter of our lives.

We will continue to play and be excited about our current tours and bookings but will not be adding many more over the coming 17 months..

We are all so deeply grateful to our incredible fans who have sung the songs and allowed Delirious? the privilege of providing the soundtrack to many lives over the years. From the school hall in Littlehampton to the stadiums of the world we have many stories to tell our children’s children. Delirious also would not be what it is without our amazing wives and families, and our gratitude to them is immense. We will now move forward to the next part of our lives where new challenges unfold and greater stories will be written.

We want to make it absolutely clear that although this decision has been extremely painful and difficult, we are still great friends and our respect for each other is unquestionable. We love playing in this band together and know that even though 2009 will bring an end to this current journey, there will be more adventures together in years to come.

We always used to say that we were ‘taking it wherever it goes’. The music ended up going further and deeper than we could ever have dreamed, yet we are now at a point where our creative futures will spread out and take on different journeys.

Thanks again for believing in us through all these years. We believe the best is yet to come.

Jon, Martin, Paul, Stu G and Tim

2008-10-07T18:27:00.000-07:00

Been married 8 years

2008-10-07T09:27:00.000-07:00

So yeasterday marked 8yrs of marriage for James and me. He took the day off and surprised me. I didn't know where we were going. It was so sweet. We ended up eating then gettin Starbucks. We saw Danny and Zach. I thought it was cool because James is always coming home and saying he saw so and so and this time I was with him. I think James work is somewhat Fun. He is always seeing people and I like seeing people outside of church and my home. Anyways I could go shopping anywhere I wanted to and I wanted to go shopping but didn't want to do something I normally do. I decided to go to North Park its one of my favotite malls. We stopped at Papyrus got a card for angela and james got me a stationary. Oh plus paper for scrapbooking. :D He also got me some Burberry The Beat Perfume. We also stopped at an antique store which was cool. Then we headed hm and to go to Sam's then came hm and he watched the new BBC verion of Sense and Senseibilty. I really had such a WONDEFUL day with my wonderful husband. I can not believe we have been married 8yrs and before we know it it will be 10 yrs. I am so glad I am living my life with him. It is hard for me to be away from him more then a day I know its chessey but true. He is my best friend who I do everything with. I am so glad I am going to live the rest of my life with him. ITS GOING TO BE A BLAST!!!!

On another note we have 26 days til our family cruise!!! I am so happy and so are the boys. They realize how close we are til we leave. This will be our first family vacation with Ethan and Emma. Its going to be AWESOME!!!

2008-09-11T00:05:00.001-07:00

Well I know I haven't blogged in a while but I am sorry for I have been very busy with life. The boys started school so I am a teacher for two to three hours a day now. Then I am a mom to not to mention a wife too. My life has been pretty busy. Plus we have had a lot of leadership meetings for 1829. So I been busy with youth ministry too. But during all this I have found time for my self.

I have been reading and let me tell you I hate to read. But for so odd reason I have had a passion for reading mainly because I found the perfect books. About a year ago I finally read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It was amazing something sparked in me and started to love reading. Well never had the time because I had Emma. So I have made time now. Some people for years suggested The Mark of the Lion Series also by Francine Rivers. So one day I went on amazon.com and bought like seven books for about $35. I was so excited!!! I also bought this book I stated in high school but never finished called The King's Swift Rider. It was good but not great. So then I moved onto the series which by the way James had already started because he was interested and found out he loved it. So here we were reading this series together. It's been amazing where God has taken us the last two months. I have a new intimacy with my husband and I'm loving it.

Well tonite I finished book #2 and let me tell you I have never cried so much from reading a book. I have come out from reading this book more in love with my God. Saying that reminds me of something Angela use to tell me. She said you need to ask yourself this question in everything you do 'does this make me fall more in love with Jesus.' Let me tell you that that book sure did. OMG y'all he loves us so much!!! That's a revelation that I will never stop being amazed. Well I better go to bed I just wanted to write a blog about this book I recommand!!! So Good Nite and God Bless!!!

Oh PS I will be writting blogs on blogger again because I can write them on my iphone.

2008-07-17T12:43:00.001-07:00

I was layin in bed reading Captivating I am really tryin to finish the book so I can read my next book. Well my mom brought this book to me with poems and it really comforted me. Just gave me this assurance in him. I wanted to share it with ya'll.

"YOU are ever in My care. My child. As the entire universe is kept in motion by My sovereign power, so I guide the destines of your life, and it is by My hand that the course of the nature is controlled. I do not overrule you free will, but as you yield your will to Me, I guard you from actions that would work contrary to My purposes. You can walk confidently into each day with assurance of My protection and provision. Your heart can be at peace in the wildest storm. For he whose treasure lies in heaven fears no loss. Remember where you treasure is and the earthly things will lose their power to touch your peace. I am you peace. I am you security. I am your support.

Fears rise out of selfish desires. He who desires only to please Me frees his soul from worldly cares. He is content to receive whatever good may come, and he can release whatever he possesses and feel no loss. In every experience, either receiving or giving, he feels neither richer nor poorer. He has found a CONSTANT. Christ is his all in all. All else comes and goes as clouds moving across the sky. He sees the change, but its not disturbed by the action. So is every man who counts not his life dear unto himself. Such is he who has made heaven his home and the eternal God his refuge; for he abides in the secret place of the Most High, and his life is hid with Christ in God." Make Haste My Beloved by Frances J. Roberts

I hope it Blessed you. God Bless You!!!

Fun Days

2008-07-16T06:16:00.001-07:00

Well yesterday Leah and me went and worked out. We walked 2 miles then walked up the green oaks hill and boy did that kick our butts. I am extremely sore but I am glad I am finally working out again. I absoultly love working out I feel so good afterwards. We are going to try to do it 3 times a week and the other days I am going to try to do the elliptical.

Anyways Yesterday was so much fun around lunch time Berna and Brittany came over and we went to walmart. Then Julia came over too. I should of taken a picture with everyone layin on the couches with their laptop or their phones it was funny. Micah and Micheal came over for dinner which Brittany made Pizza Cassarole. Julia made a chocolate cake and Berna made Kool Aid. It was a fun night.

So Berna Brittany and me decide to give ethan a mohawk which looks cute but James wants me to buzz his hair. Gabriel got a buzz too.

I woke up at 630am when James left and have had a great morning and will continue to have a great day!!! Well God Bless You!!!

What a Nice Day!!!

2008-07-14T14:09:00.000-07:00

Well today has been such a slow and boring day but I like it. I get to unwind from the weekend. Believe me I had a stressful weekend. I taught in Elevate sunday morning and I was so nervous. I had been reading the lesson for a week and didn't have anything as of saturday night at 10pm. I was so stressed and nervous but sunday morning went good. I did far better then I did in mexico. I can honestly sayin I would do it again but only in Elevate. :)

Well tonite is softball and James team is 4-0 and if you don't go to the softball games you should come cheer for James. Last week's game was so intense they played the other undefeated team and WON. It was a really good game. Well like I said if you have nothing to do then come on out and cheer for James he plays at 7pm.

Well I better go find his jersey and stuff so God Bless!!!

God's in control!!!

2008-05-09T11:04:00.000-07:00

The rest of the Lord is such a beautiful place to reside. In this place, peace is consistent regardless of situation or circumstance. There are things in our lives that try to weigh us down. However, we have a choice as to how we respond to these trials or the seemingly uncertain things that life can bring our way. First, we must choose to relinquish control and rely on the faithfulness of God. Next, we must stand firm and hold fast to the promises of our heavenly Father and the truth that He stands for. When we do this, there will be no room for doubt and unbelief. Sometimes just taking the time to listen to the still small voice can quiet the questions and brings His peace.

-LaShelle Forsgren

That was on the Gateways Beyond blog and let me tell you it sopke to me. Alot has been going on with me. When I read it, it was like a light blub turned on above my head. Like a new revelation for me. I got so caught up in my problems and needs that I kinda of forgot about God takin care of it all. But I am giving him control and he has promised me that he will take care of me and my family. Even writting this blog I feel like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I will like I can breathe. Man God is so good and he loves us so much. I will have an AWESOME day. I know you will too he has promised us that. Love Ya and God Bless!!!

PLEASE PRAY!!!

2008-05-08T22:12:00.000-07:00

Ok so just wanted to let everyone know that God is AWESOME!!!

Well James' Dad had a heart attack this afternoon. He was in surgery when we got to the hospital. They went in and checked his arteries for blockage and they were as the doctor said "Clean as a whistle." But they have no idea what caused the heart attack so be praying for quick recovery and healing from whatever it is.

Can I just say we prepared for the worst. It was almost a replay of when my dad died and it was so hard for me not to freak out but I stayed clam for my husband just like he did for me. I am so glad God was merciful and allowed him to be healed. PTL!!!

I would also like to ask for pray I am just so exhausted and I need to be refreshed. When this happen today I just didn't have any strength to endure any more. I am emotional tired and phyiscally tired so keep me in your prayers too.

So please be praying!!! Love Ya and God Bless!!!

Snow Day tomorrow, Please God!?!?

2008-03-03T20:42:00.000-08:00

So Sunday we woke up late it was 930am and I usually get up at 8am. I was holding Emma because she woke up crying at 730am and I fell asleep then realized that is was late. Well we got to church late around 1030am. So Pastor Gary wrote a worship song and it was Irish kind of song and I loved it. It was so perfect for us since you know we went to the Irish Festival I was having such a blast with it. I really wish we had some real Irish Dancers up there. I love to watch Irish dancing especailly when the little girls do it. I use to want to do it when I was little.

Well after church we ate lunch then home to chill. Well Jodie asked if James could install a window unit for her so James, Sarah and me went over there around 4pm. I had fun hanging out with Durham girls and Steven, it was a wonderful visit. Still waiting for Alisa to have her baby. Then we had Ponchos for dinner I haven't had Ponchos since I was little, well atleast ate at Ponchos. So Sunday was an a good day.

Today was kinda slow for me. I didn't want to do anything but had to clean my house. Luckily I didn't have to clean to much just the kids room and the kitchen. We had Jr high smallgroup tonite and had three kids show up we played Catch Pharase. I had fun but I was so tired for some odd reason. Then Nathan was leaving and saw that it was snowing. Now I am hoping that it stays until the morning so we can go play in it. The boys were so excited that it was snowing I really hope before the spring comes that it snow real good one day. Just so my kids can have a snow day and so we can have more memories. Anyways I am tired but I told the boys I would watch a movie with them. Well Good Nite and God Bless!! Oh lets all pray that it snows a lot tomorrow just so we get one snow day.

Irish Festival

2008-03-01T19:41:00.000-08:00

We had so much fun at the Irish Festival. We were there for about three hours. There was so much going on and so many vendors. There was so may men wearing kilts and I love it. The Irish love their dogs too. There were so many dogs everywhere. I love to see the Irish Wolfhound. It is a dog that is huge!!! The boys were so not comfortable being around so many dogs. Well James is so proud of his heritage, years back we got his coat of arms. Well he knows so much about where they came from. Well he wanted to get a new coat of arms picture. As we were walkiing out their was this sword vendor oh course my husband has to look. If you know him he loves Braveheart and wants a sword like that, well he got two swords. Then we passed by the Heritage Crests where you can get your family history. So he bought his coat of arms and on it is his family history. Well we were getting tired so we ate some more food then left by then it was 645. So we dropped off his parents then headed home. So then we wanted to frame them so we went to Garden Ridge. Then came home now we are watching Braveheart and about to go to bed because I am so tired from walking. Here are pics from today....

Don't you love Shabbat!!!

2008-03-01T10:07:00.000-08:00

Well Shabbat was really fun. I just love Shabbat its the best thing ever. Just to be able hang out with friends every friday nite and not have to get a babysitter is the best. I really do look forward to every Shabbat. The guys watched a movie and the girls talked. It was very chilled and I love those Shabbats. Oh and Alecia bread turned out so good and it looked goregous!!!

I have to do dishes but I don't want to. I have been watching movies on HBO in bed all morning. Now I am waiting for James to get home. He wants to go to the Irish Festival. When I was a kid my mom would take us all the time to all kind of festivals especially the Scottish and Irish ones. They are so much fun. Oh she also thought we were Irish but whats funny is now my kids really do have that. Not sure if its Irish or Scottish or even both but I do know Gadberry's came from England.

Well James just came home and I have decided that it would be a great family event to go so we are going. Well got to go love ya!! God bless and have an awesome day!!!

Oh This is what James was doing before everybody got to our house.
