Happy Birthday to the Love of my life!

To my soul mate&my best friend,

No words can adequately express my heart when it comes to you my love.
You have had this effect on me for 18 years and I pray for many more!!

When I look to an earthly example of Gods love for me, I look no where else but to you.
Your gorgeous smile, loving eyes, strong hands, and gentle heart that loves, protects and provides for me each and every day.
Your commitment to me, unconditional love and devotion to our relationship and our family, amazes me still.

I could write&write of all the things you do, but that's not what really is at the core of who you are.
The foundation that those things are built on are, your reliance on Jesus to lead our home, your integrity, character, trustworthiness, leadership, and willingness to put Christ first, me second, our girls third, and all else never over rides those priorities.

I have said it over&over but it never grows old,
I love you and have never got over that God loved me so much, He gave me you!!

Thank you for sticking by my side&taking care of me...

I hope you know how much the girls and I love you!!!
There is nothing else we would rather be doing but celebrating you!

Happy Birthday my love!!!

                  Forever&Always,
                     Love Me

It's been awhile!!!

God loves us so much that even a little detail such as this picture, He delights to give!!

It has been a loooooooongggg time since I have been able to "properly" dig into bible study over a relaxing spread!

Don't get me wrong, I delight in ALL time spent with the Lord... This makes it extra special for me.

It's one of those "lil" details, but oh how much happiness it adds to the Joy&Blessings of this life!!!

Middle of the week!

Last night was nice, came home encouraged that the Lord has us on the right path as we head deeper into these High School years!!!

Starting coffee &settling in for a nice time with the Lord. I find when I don't get this time my day doesn't seem as complete, nor run as smoothly as it does when my mind&spirit are focused.

Yesterday the girls each started their own Journey into a deeper Bible Study time.. I am one excited Moma!

Kaity ordered "Stepping Up" (Beth Moore)
Kelsey&Shania both ordered "Breaking Free" (Beth Moore)

To say excited is an understatement!!
I love a good in-depth Bible Study, Beth Moore is my favorite author ( and no I don't agree with every word printed) but it challenges me even more to stand firm in what we believe!

So, I am going through S/U with Kaity&looking forward to what God has in store.
The older two are doing theirs together, and than we meet up over coffee/tea, and discuss our homework(there are five days of homework to each week of study)

Well coffee is done *Smile*

Trust you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Rome wasn't built in a day!!!

This was the overwhelming theme today in the "parent-teacher" meeting this AM!!!  
I do believe SOME of the "parents" are having a hard time grasping this concept... but we are all a work in progress.. HA!!
In-case you have not caught on yet... I am the parent teacher combo!!! And yes I do hold these meetings regularly.. 
You should see the look on the kids faces when I tell them to please excuse us, we are in a meeting!! ROFL..
Sometimes the principal gets to sit in on them as well :) 

Folks, humor OK!!! If we did not have it, have mercy I would go CRAZY!!!

So GOD answered prayer in a BIG way Sunday, and gave us a MUCH needed touch so we could go to church! PRAISE YOU FATHER!!!
The dinner was very good ( of course it was my mama&grandma cooking) the girls were privileged to serve along side them.
The message was EXACTLY what was needed, and I thank the Lord for HIS word spoken through His servant to these thirsty ears. 
Yesterday was a rough day, but that is ok, and today I feel better ... Heart rate was only running around 132 ( still painful) but I took my meds right away, and shall go marching on!! 

I am so very excited for this evening.. My dear husband is going to be home in time for me to attend our home-school group's Moms Mentoring Night... Theme- HIGH SCHOOL!!!!! 
M*U*C*H Needed... I love to hear from other Moms who are ahead on this journey and glean from their experience!! Not to mention the awesome time of fellowship!! 

GOD IS SO VERY VERY GOOD.. HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!!

Beautiful day here in the AZ valley, and am thankful for what has and will be accomplished today for the Lord!! 

Trust you all are having a wonderful Tuesday afternoon, and remember, Jesus IS the answer!!!!!
