It's My blog and I can rant if I want to!

I can not tell you how tired of sickness I am. It just seems like every time I turn around someone is sick or someone is diagnosed with cancer! Just yesterday we learned of hubby's cousin (who is a lot older than him) was diagnosed with cancer it is in her liver and colon. All reports we have heard are not good. This woman is a precious, precious lady! She has 2 grown children and 2 maybe even 3 grand kids. She is a very Godly woman as a matter of fact she is Holiness. For those of you who don't know that's the church where the women do not cut their hair, wear skirts, no jewelry or make up! Her name is Connie Benson! Please remember her in you prayers!

The husband, myself and "S" all went to the doctor yet again yesterday. Husband and "S" have upper respiratory infections "S" on top of that has ear infection in both ears, I have a throat infection and ear infection in both ears. I don't know about you guys but I am so sick and tired of sickness. I am tired of people with these diseases I am tired of children being sick. I am tired of marriages failing and children being caught in the middle of it. I am tired of watching people fall away from the church. I am sick of people blaming God for all the bad things that happen to them.

Is there anything I can do about it? YES WE can seek the father on how to handle all of these situations. I have been praying for weeks and I have to admit I have nothing. That is alright because I don't have to have the answers I know who does have them. I know because I believe! I have faith. I know that the Bible says by his stripes that he took on his back I am healed. I know that the Bible says to cast all your burdens on him because he cares for us. I know that the Bible says Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. So whether it is sickness, failing marriage, "horrible" life, or you are just walking around in what seems like an aimless existence. Seek the Father allow him to take these worries for you. OK I am done ranting. I am to exhausted to go on any further. I just know that with all the doom and gloom around lately that there is someone who brings life and light! Pray today and ask the Lord to come into your life and make you a new. If you have prayed this prayer and have fallen away know that when you asked him into your life he never left you and is there just waiting on you to allow him back in. It's a simple prayer. Lord I love you, I need you forgive me of my sins, come into my life wipe out all the bad and help me Father to live a new Holy life in you. I pray that this blesses someone today! It's just what's on my heart and mind. RANT RANT RANT! ha ha I hope everyone is having a better week than us but I know that soon and very soon we are gonna be healed. We gotta be we leave for Disney in 20 days! Blessings!

Wordless Wednesday! :)















I can do all things

through Christ that gives me strength. :) I love that Bible verse I am using it a lot these days. Between waiting on my sister to get back from Ethiopia with our sweet Mercy to Spring Break @ the campground with the kids to Cabinet Man drama. That verse has been steadily been stirring in my spirit.

I have to say when I saw my sister walking down those stairs at the airport with my precious neice in that sling I lost it. It was one of the happiest times of our families lives. That little girl is so beautiful and I just can not get enough of her! When I say beautiful I mean it. That skin is amazing and those eyes melt me. When I finally got to say Hello to her she put her hand out to my face and rubbed my face and nose. It was like hey your different let me touch you! It is so nice to finally have a baby girl back in the family! We love our boys don't get us wrong but girls are so much more fun to shop for.

We went down to the campground for spring break. The kids had a blast hanging out with there favorite people on the planet. Corey and Cortney ha ha they are our 18 year old twins we go watch play ball. They are seniors this year :( WOW where does the time go. The girls rode bikes, played at the sand pit, game room, put put, playground. You name it the kids did it. One of my good friends came down with her family and staid the day with us. It was WONDERFUL we had a great meal and wonderful talks. I laughed so hard at her husband. He is a big ol goofball.

We get home to find out that our cabinet guy decided to drop us out of the blue. I seriously sat down in the floor and cried. Cabinet people are not easy to just call and say hey can ya come to my new house and build my cabinets. I mean come on they have waiting list 6 months to a year long. We started interviewing ppl and finally on day two found a guy. He has some very neat idea's and I am really excited about him making our cabinets. It was a God thing and there is no doubt. I walked into his shop and the song playing LOUD in the shop was Chris Tomlin singing "How Great Is Our God" I thought OK GOD I HEAR YA! ha ha :) So


There has been a lot going on in our lives as you can tell. I trying to just trust the Lord to take care of everything, but I have to admit I am by nature a worry wart! It is not easy for me to hand things over but in the end I realize there is nothing I can do with it that I have to give it to the Father so I do. He is the only one that can honestly handle all the stress of my world! How great is our God! That he would worry about everything we worry about. My Cabinets, to my Uncles Cancer to whatever it is that you are worrying about. Give it to the father he cares for you and only wants good things for you. No matter where you are no matter what you have done he cares for you and loves you. Come as you are! It's so simple say these words. Jesus I love you I need you come into my life today make me a new creation. Trust me he will show up! :) He is the only reason I am here today with the life I have today! No I am not perfect I make mistakes on the regular but the one who is perfect loves me just the same! I hope everyone has a great Thursday. I know I am going to have a great day. I get to have lunch with my bestie she just announced she was preggy to everyone. So we will have much to talk about! Have a wonderful rest of the week. Blessings



Update On Uncle John!

I finally got a hold of my Aunt late last evening. Uncle John came through a very long surgery just fine. They were able to remove the largest of the 3 tumors on his brain relieving all of that cranial pressure. They also were able to put some sorta plate on the other two tumors so that when he starts radiation it will know exactly where to go. When I talked to my Aunt last night she was extremely exhausted and really needing some sleep. She could hardly carry on a conversation. (she is a cancer survivor herself and needs a lot of rest) She said that Uncle John was still in the ICU only because they could not find him another room but once one came open he would be moved from the ICU. PRAISE THE LORD for his hand of protection and provision.

The doctors said that this is lung cancer that has spread to his brain. They are not worried about his lungs right now they are more worried about the tumors on his brain and once they get that under control then they will get to working on his lungs. He starts 10 days straight of radiation in the next few days. Right now there is no plan for chemotherapy. Thank you so much for all who have emailed called or text checking on him. It's so wonderful to have ppl standing in agreement with our family for our Uncle. Keep the prayers for him a coming he has a long road ahead of him and if you don't mind please pray for my Aunt as well. We worry about her being so stressed and run down taking care of Uncle John. I can not say it enough Thank You Thank You Thank You! You are a blessing!
