How Time Flies!

The spring flew by as I was in a fog and the summer arrived and I am still trying to clear my head. My daughters are growing up so terribly fast. Both are such wonderful young Christian women. They are so desperately trying to learn what the Bible says and what our Lord intends for them to do. I am so proud of them. Katie is taking driver's ed and will have her permit before I know it. Sarah will take her test in another couple of weeks and will take off down the road to find her way. If only I could put brakes on those tires and get them to slow up just a little so that I can enjoy them a little while longer.

Family

When I think of my siblings, I cannot come up with the words to describe how I feel about them. They have always been there for me. Now we will depend on each other even more. God has truly blessed me with a family that is so loving. I have two daughters who make me laugh everyday. They are there to wipe my tears as I do theirs. I have a husband who gives me the reassurance that he will stand with me no matter what. I have a stepmother that I love dearly. I hope that I can do for her what she has done for my family through out the years. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways. I have a daddy who is living in my heart now. I want to make him proud of me as I go on this life journey with out his physical presence. I know he is with me though.

A Listening Ear

How often we turn a deaf ear to even those we love? Thank goodness our Lord does not do that to us! He bends down to listen to our voice. He gives us the strength we need when we do not have think we can go another step forward. He carries us through. He places in our midst those we need the most, our family and our friends. I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Psalm 116:1-2 I have always worried that I will not be enough to those who need me. I pray that the Lord will use me to give back the comfort and strength that he has given me. I want to be there for others to lean on me till they themselves can walk again on their own.

Palm Sunday

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. First words that come to mind today. Faith, what a strong word. I feel the Lord giving me strength and courage that I never Knew I could have. I know my daddy wants me to smile and be happy that now he is with the Lord. He is well and given a new body. He is no longer in the worn out, tumor infested body in which he suffered. The one thing that hurt the most was watching him hurt. He never showed it however. He always had a smile on his face. I love him so !!!!

March 29, 2010

I don't even know the date anymore. I think that is right. Anyway, this is my first attempt at a personal blog. Hopefully, I will become as good as my sisters. My daddy died this past Wednesday night as I held his hand with Patty holding the other. I feel very blessed to have been there. My friend Melissa Withers touched me when she said as I was holding his hand then God was holding the other.
