Now it is time to get ready to go and visit grandpa's. A week from now we will be in La. having fun with pawpaw. Just a girls week out is what i am saying. so until next time

Wow!! This has been a busy week again. I have been able to stay home, but all the things that need to be done is crazy! With me babysitting, most of the things that need to be done get put on the back burner until they leave. Then I am too tired to do anything. I have restarted my diet this week, so far so good. We will see how the rest of the week goes. Some times I want life to just slow down. I know that it is not possible, but one can hope. have to go, so until next time

Today we went to a funeral for a great lady who passed away at the age of 88. She was truly a blessing to all that knew her. What wonderful things her family had to say about her. The one thing that i will not forget is that she was a prayer warrior. The things she wrote about Jesus and her desire to serve him no matter what was the greatest testimony of her life. One day I pray that people will remember me for the things that i have done for the kingdom of God. nothing else matters, but the things of Christ will last.
until next time

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." Rev. 3:11

I like this scripture. Christ says hold fast to that which you have so that no one take your crown. We need to hold fast to the word of God, Satan will try to destroy our salvation if he can get a foot hold in the door of our lives. Christ is coming soon! We need to be watching for his coming. Hold fast to the knowledge of Christ, guard your salvation, read and pray. Don't let the cares of this life get a hold of your life, Keep Christ first. COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!

The Lord is so good to us. We have been truly blessed today. My husband and I are praying for a house that we have to sell. I don't know why it has not sold yet, but I do know that in His time it will. You know questions arise when what you want to happens does not happen, but there must be a reason, right. The Lord knows what my family needs and he always provides those needs. I am always amazed how he provides for us. I shouldn't be, but that is our human minds at work. IT just goes to show, that when you put Christ first in your life, he does provide for the things you have need of. Lord, thank you for all the blessings you have given to me and my family. My hearts desire is to live my life fully consecrated to your service. As Rom 12:1-2 says, i want to be that living sacrifice totally consecrated to you. I love you Lord Jesus.

This scripture has been in my heart, so I thought I would share it.
Romans 8:38-39 (King James Version)
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I am persuaded to make it to heaven. No matter who tries to stop me. I plan to take all my loved ones with me.

Today is my husbands and I anniversary. WE have been married for 15 years!! The Lord has really blessed us though all these years. I look back and see that we have a really good marriage. Some people I know to not, and for ours I am blessed. One thing I know, is that we have kept Christ first in our marriage and that has made what we have the best. My husband is my best friend. He is there when I need a shoulder to cry on, he makes me laugh during stressful times. Every day He does something that reminds my just why I love him so much. I love the way he takes time out of his busy day to just spend time with the girls and me. no matter how busy is he, we are his number one. (God first, then us) Honey, I love you! Thanks for the greatest 15 years of my life.

it has been a while since i have posted so here goes nothing. Vacation was really nice. We spent the week with family and had a good time. YOu do know that when your family gets together, you will get into some stressfull things. LIke someone always gets there feelings hurt by someone. I think that happened maybe once a day, but over all all was well. We took a day and went to Siliver Dollar City with some friends. My girls had a blast. My little one, wanted to ride all the rollasters.(so did my oldest) THey would ride a ride 2 to 3 times in a row. Me, I got sick after one time on the ride, and had to just wait for them to get off of it . those rides are not for us older moms and dads, we have to stop and just watch for awhile before we could get back on another one. It turnned out to be a very memorable day.
On Sunday, we went to our old church to visit. May things have changed, but all was well. We came back and my aunt and parents spent the weekend with us here at home. It was a great visit and we all enjoyed ourselves. Now that summer is here, I am watching 2 children from town. They are very well behaved. I do need to get creative and find something for them to do, since we stay inside most of the time.(it is too hot to play outside until after supper time). I have yet to find something for all to do, will see what i can come up with.
That is all for now,
until next time,
Shelby
