It Felt Like Mothers Day!

Well this past week was busy and as you can see from the previous post a little stressful. I was so looking forward to the weekend and some good ole' family time. It was Fathers Day weekend and that day is always special at our house but this year it felt almost like Mothers Day. Kenny, Alycia and Kacey were asked to sing on Sunday. They got to pick their song and I was so pleased when they picked a hymn that has always been one of my favorites. I don't know about you all but I really like praise music but sometimes a old timey hymn just hits the spot.

The picture is fuzzy because I took it with my phone. Kacey didn't want me to make a big deal about it. Well I cried...it was a big deal to me...my babies with their daddy singing in church. Best gift I ever got for fathers day! LOL!!!! I think Kenny felt the same way! Oh! I forgot to tell you what they sang...Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?

No light in the darkness you see?

There’s light for a look at the Savior,

And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting He passed,

and we follow Him there;

O’er us sin no more hath dominion—

For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;

Believe Him, and all will be well:

Then go to a world that is dying,

His perfect salvation to tell!

I had said that I had a pretty stressful week last week...Well...these words just made me feel so much better. Turn your eyes upon Jesus...Look full in His wonderful face! Have a wonderful week!

God is so Good!!!!! All the time!!!!

My Girls

Sunday was such a blessing. We had good food, good fellowship, amazing worship and some good pictures. I thought I would share a picture of my girls this morning. We are heading out so I will come back later this afternoon and share some more pictures of our first Easter at PBF.

Alycia and Kacey both approved of this picture. That never happens. You know girls they never think they look good.

Have a blessed day!

I Love My Kids!

Day two on the things I love. I love my girls sooooooo much. Alycia is 17 and Kacey is 12. They are the light of my life. They both have traits from me and their father. Right now they probably don't like to hear that maybe later on it will be ok. I know the older I get the prouder I am to be like my parents.

Both of the girls are wild about God which makes me smile all by its self. Alycia has an amazing gift with kids. She has worked at a day care for nearly 3 years. She always comes home with a funny or sometimes not so funny story about a little person. Kacey has a gift with older people. She has always loved helping. They both always surprise me with how big their hearts are.

Alycia in blue w/her besties and Kacey in the hat w/her besties.

Just a proud mom...

Yesterday my daughter Alycia let met read her "25 Random Things" and let me tell you, I cried. The struggles we have had with her OCD's over the years have been intense. From third grade up until I guess about 2 yrs ago every day was a challenge. We went to the University of Florida a couple of years ago and that changed her life. Praise to God for leading us there. No more medication and a totally changed child. I am not saying that she is cured but they gave her the tools that she needed to cope with everyday life. You would be amazed at what she went through and I am so PROUD of her. Alycia is strong in her faith and has an amazing attitude. Here are four of her comments.

1. i love God
14. i have ocd's like crazy
15. when i was 14 i went to the University of Florida to a doctor that specialized in ocd's for 3 weeks
16. i blink a lot. and don't care what people say or think about it. cause i can't help it.

I am so proud of how strong my girl has become. She put God first on her list. I am still getting choked up as I type this today.

All of us have struggles in life and God provides us with the tools to cope. Amen!!!!

God is so Good!

Camping inside w/o a fire PRAISE GOD!

This past Wednesday my youngest Kacey wanted to build a tent and camp in the living room. Wednesday had been a long day and Kenny and I were both "No I don't think tonight is a good night for this." I just wanted to go to bed and be comfortable. Sleeping on the floor just made me ache all over.

Thursday evening came and once again everyone was at home and Kacey wanted to build a tent and camp. Kenny grinned real big and said, "Ok after we play clue we will build a tent." (I couldn't believe it...he had worked out in freezing weather all day.) After dinner we all sat down and started playing Clue. Kacey had set up the game and had everything ready. We had been playing for about 30 minutes when I realized I had messed up something on my clue sheet. So I started trying to figure it out. Well...about an hour and twenty minutes into the game (Kenny was asking, "is this game ever going to end?") I started realizing that I wasn't the one messing up... something wasn't right and I was thinking that there wasn't a weapon in the envelope. I opened the little envelope and sure enough there wasn't a weapon in the middle which made it impossible for anybody to win. We all laughed like crazy. This was truly the game that would of never ended.

We put the game up and to my surprise Alycia my oldest said that she thought she would camp with us but she didn't want to sleep on the floor. She was going to sleep on the couch. We set the tent up. The old fashioned way. The way I remember setting up a tent when I was a kid. We brought the dining room chairs into the living room and pulled out all of the blankets we could find. We covered the chairs and made our tent and with the rest of the blankets we made us a bed to sleep on. I remember the bed being a whole lot softer when I was a kid.

Kacey and Wags in the tent. If you look closely you can see the back of Alycia's head. She is laying on the couch on the computer.

Kenny and Kacey played in the tent for a while then he fell asleep. Kacey laid down and read for awhile, Alycia caught up with friends on the computer and I watched the news. When we were about ready to go to bed I let Wags out and started turning the lights off. All of a sudden I started smelling something hot. It was really cold so at first I thought the emergency heat had kicked on but the longer I stood there I knew this was not the case. As I walked toward the door to let Wags in a flame shot up from the back of the couch. Immediately I realized that the computer cord was on fire. I jerked the cord out of the wall and out of the computer all the while trying to put the flame out. Praise God nothing but the cord was on fire and there was no damage or injuries.

This morning as Kenny and I were talking about the events of last night I told him how I felt that God had taken care of us last night. I am so sure of this because normally Alycia would of gone to her bedroom with the computer. She would of probably fell asleep while on the computer and the fire would of started in her room. I am so thankful that God put us all in the same room last night. It makes me sick to think what could of happened. I have praised God all day for protecting my family.

God is sooooo Goooooood! AMEN!
