There is never a dull moment, thats for sure! I can't wait to get back into the blog world and

I am writing this blog to make people aware of the situation with Amanda so that we can get the world praying for her! I met Amanda while living in Illinois. She was a part of the ladies group that I played Bunco with once a month. I've always thought she had a great name! =) She has a daughter named Aleah that is the same age as my Allie, (thats 6 by the way). Then, we were pregnant at the same

So, there's not all that much happening in my life right now. My husband's job is a little up in the air...but isn't everyones? He's a mailman and they are really trying to cut back the hours for these guys to help cover the deficit. We moved to Tennessee about a year and a half ago. All of my family is here. I grew up here. I spent years living in Illinois, wanting to be back in Tennessee. Now

I'm sitting here tonight thinking about Sweet Stellan. I'm sure that anyone who would be reading my blog knows about Stellan and MckMama...but just in case you don't....go check them out at mycharmingkids.net. Stellan's story has captivated my heart from the very beginning. I was reading MckMama's blog while Stellan was in her womb. He was diagnosed there as having SVT. The doctor's informed her

I am sitting here tonight and my heart is so moved to be praying for this precious baby boy! I have been reading his Mama's blog for months now and have grown to love her family so much. She has such a way with words and has a true God-seeking heart! Her baby Stellan really needs our prayers right now as he faces an uncertain diagnoses. Please join in praying for sweet Stellan!Oh Lord, we know

The weather has been so beautiful the last couple of days and today we decided to take advantage of it! We went to the park after I picked Allie up from school. It was such a perfect afternoon. There was rain headed our way...so there weren't many people at the playground. That's great for me because it makes it easier to keep up with my children =) Its a task to keep my eyes on all four.Today I

Well, those of you that really know me, know that I get emotionally involved with people that I don't know. I read blogs and I am broken for mother's that have lost their babies, or husbands, or mothers. I have always had such a passion for people who are walking that journey called grief. Back in high school, a friend was killed by a drunk driver. My boyfriend at the time was close with him. I

I was sitting here thinking, after reading MckMama's blog about motherhood!Its so fascinating,tormenting, and amazingly perfect all in the same moments! I was just talking to my husband today about how fortunate I have been to stay home with all four of my babies. I have loved every minute. There are definitely times that I feel as though I have had more than enough. I am tired from a screaming,

Hey everyone! I have kindof screwed up because I dont check my email enough. I had an email reminding me to post this and I didn't get it until tonight! I wanted you to know about this publication I’m a part of called Serious.Life Magazine. They just published the February issue on Monday, and I am in their Featured Blog Directory. It’s a very high quality magazine… and I think you’ll really

So, those of you that know me know that I am borderline neurotic about my husband being captivated by me and only me. =) Ok, so not borderline. I am pretty much over the top, psychotic. I am praying so much for God to calm my heart.I need to learn to trust Him and know that if I am seeking His will for my life then I am good. I will go back to something I learned at our marriage retreat...I am

Hello All! I haven't been blogging lately, in fact I really haven't even been on my computer much to even be reading blogs from other people. I'm ready for life to slow down some! In my dreams! Christmas and New Year's were great. My kids are great! My hubby's great. Life's ok for us right now and I have LOVED not being in school. Only one semester down and I am already complaining.I am really

So, tonight i'm a little blog happy...well picture happy anyway! I was just sitting here being very saddened by life. I think its so comical how sometimes we wish for things...and then we actually get it. Looking back on my wishes...were they all everything they were thought to be? I definitely think we did the right thing moving...am I happy in this moment, not so much. But, I do feel peace,

So, one of my husband's closest friend's has really developed an interest in photography. Everytime we are with him he spends his time love and photographing our family! We love Chilin and Michelle so much. There friendship means so much to us and now his pictures are some of my favorite of my babies! There's alot..I couldn't narrow it down. Enjoy!

So! If you haven't been over to check out Mckmama's blog...you NEED to. Her life is right in the middle of a miracle right now. She has a precious, healthy baby boy, that was diagnosed to die in her womb. She followed her heart and the Lord's leading and believed in her miracle. She now has a very healthy five week old baby whose heart is so strong and has yet to show one threat of any kidof

So, i'm addicted to reading blogs and getting small, or sometimes large, glimpses into the lives of other people on this journey called life. I was reading a page of a woman who buried her four year old daughter 9 months ago. She was talking about how when she was sick...she wished more than anything to go back to the days when she was well. Now that she is gone, she would give anything just to

So, this blog hasn't been exactly what I thought it was going to be. I thought I would blog way more than I do. With that being said, lately life for me the has been really hard. Blogging hasn't been one of my priorities. I have really been struggling with some things. First of all...I let guilt creep in. That will be one of my life-long struggles. But, 1 John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He

So, I sit here....on a weightloss mission...blogging with a coke and a bite of cookie dough=) I am really on track today. Funny thing happened this afternoon/evening. Allie got in my car after school and was really upset saying that she had really been itching...on her butt actually...and her legs. I said ok, as I drove on being distracted by three other children in the car, all making noises at

So, i'm up and its 2:23 in the morning. Besides feeling sick...which I am, I am struggling today with guilt in my life. That is something that I have REALLY battled in my past and overcome and I don't want to go back to. I find myself actually feeling a little panicky about it and what does this mean about my faith and my place in my journey. And then, I pray and God reminds me that my sin is

This entry is full of me whining about my life, so if you don't like to hear whining...don't read it!Ok, so my children have been sick going on three weeks now. Actually, almost three and a half! It started as strep throat and by the end of the first week, all FOUR of my children had it. Then, after antibiotics were up....it was back and we had to take them back into the doctor...for more

I was speaking with a friend a few months ago about my past mistakes, hurts, and lessons learned. I was sharing with her the importance I feel that shared experience has on the impacting of young lives. I was basically telling her how I feel like teenagers need to be educated not only on the effects of your choices on short term consequences, but also on the long term ones.I gave my testimony at

Well, I did it. I created my own blog. I have been journaling during my english class and actually loving it. Then, I decided....I should start blogging. I will put myself out there for anyone who's interested! Stay tuned!
