Blessed

I am blessed! 

I said, I am blessed! 

God woke me up this morning with the love of my life! 

 God allowed me to see my children one more time! 

I am blessed! 

God allowed me to feel his power in my spirit, and I tell you that I am blessed! 

I am in my right state of mind, and believe you me that there are many that are not! 

I tell you that I am blessed!  

I was born to a mother who cares for me like none other, a mother that would do anything for me, a mother that would allow me to learn a lesson so that I would be better off in the longer run! 

 That my friends is blessed!

I have children that love me, I went to a job today, I slept in a bed last night, and although things are not perfect, God is pointing me where he wants me to go, leading me in the destiny that he wants me to lead, which lets me know that I am blessed!

I am blessed coming in, I am blessed going out, I am blessed in the morning, and I am blessed in the night! 

 I tell you my friends that no matter the amount of money, no matter the amount of friends, no matter the amount of stuff that I think that can sooth me, nothing can be more of a blessing than my father God! 

I will tell you again!

I AM BLESSED!!!

Christian's Birthday Cake

Well, I just finished Christian's birthday cake, and I am pooped!  It was tedious, but I am sure that it will be worth while. 

He looked so happy during the building process, and he was amazed after even though I thought that it could have been alot better!  I hope that my little man has the best day he can tomorrow!

Mother's Day/ Birthday

I have to say that I had the best Mother's Day/ Birthday's to date.  I celebrated my 10 Year Service Anniversary Luncheon on May 6th at work with several of the co-workers that I love, and my mom came!  You all know how much that meant to me!

My husband woke me up on Saturday morning once he was home from work, and informed me that I needed to get dressed because he had a day planned for me!  YIPPPEEEE!!!!  All for me!!!!!

He took my, and my daughter to first get our nails done at the Star Nails on Cooper St. &  Bardin Rd. in Arlington, Texas.  Then we headed over to what has become one of my favorite restaurants ever the India Grill in the Arlington Highlands in Arlington, Texas where they have the most amazing Indian cuisine with the best atmosphere.  Then he took me to the World Market to see if there was anything that I would like to pick up.

Then to my great surprise he allows me to take a nap after lunch, and lets me sleep until dinner without any interruptions!!!  I mean come on!  That was so wonderful!  It was like 7 hours of good sleep. GREAT!

Then he took me to dinner, and I chose Babes!  That did not pan out, but not to fret we went to Cracker Barrel on I-20 & Bowen in Arlington, Texas which was just as good a choice as the first.

Then ladies he pulled out the show stopper when he took me to look at rings, and I chose the prettiest ring for me!  Something elegant, simple, but definitely made for me!

All in all I have to say that my husband pull out all the stops, and I enjoyed every bit of it!  I want to say thank you to my Heavenly Father God first for giving such an awesome husband that deals with my ever changing moods, and I want to thank my husband for loving me!

I love my husband, and my children more than anyone can know!

God is Love!

Service Anniversary



Signature Pic!

 Today was my Service Anniversary Luncheon with A T & T Telephone Company at work.  I have ten years of service, and I have to say that it feels great to have gotten over the 10 year hump.  I had the best time, and I realized that I have several friends that I work with that are truly my family!  I love them very much, and I am very fortunate to have people like: Cynthia J., Linda P, Sherry S., Tammi S., Marilyn B.,Rodney W., Kenneth H., and many more that I call my A T & T Family!  I enjoy them on a day to day basis, and I thank God that he has given me such a great place to be!  One with his presence, and a place where I know that pray is not a foreign concept!

God is Love!

My babies

I was looking at old photos, and I found that I got a little sad! I am sad that my time with them as children is quickly coming to an end! I was also realizing that I have to cherish every moment that I have with them! They will always be my babies, but they will grow up whether I like it or not!!!! I just wish that I could keep them this way!

Look at them now!  Lord Help Me!

Movie Night with the Kiddos

Yesterday I got a text for a free redbox movie!  Usually I get them in the middle of the week, and I never get them because I feel like it will interfer with our schedule.  Well, this time I got the free movie (Yogi Bear), and I have to say that it was a bit refreshing to just stop to relax in the middle of the week with my kiddos.

Thank you Lord for giving me another day with my family!  My God is an awesome God, and only he can give me the joy that I get from being with my children.

Psalm 127:3-5 ESV / 260

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Osama Bin Laden

ABC World News, May 2, 2011.

Many are rejoicing at the death of one Mr. Osama Bin Laden, but I am here to say that I am quite the opposite!  I am sad at the events that have come to pass as well as the events that will soon be faced in the future. 

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse (Romans 12:14).

We as Christians are supposed to pray for our enemies, and not rejoice in their demise!  What have we become when we dance around in a state of pleasure because of another persons' misfortune!

I do understand that Mr. Osama Bin Laden was not a nice man, but that is not an assumption that is for me neither anyone else to convey.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21).

I pray for all those that thought that it was anywhere near acceptable to dance around as if to dance on the mans grave!

Folks I say again that this is a sad day!  One that would make our Father God Weep in tears at the actions of his people!  This is a day of mourning for one of Gods men!  Though he may have had faults he was still one of Gods men, and today I say God rest his soul! 

Heavenly Father I pray for all those who did not properly give honor to one of your people.  Heavenly Father I ask that you give those that are lost with the subject of Osama Bin Laden, and give them the knowledge that they need to have a better understanding.  I pray that they not judge him as they would not want to be judged.  It is written in your word that things come to pass Heavenly Father in your time, and that things will always come out to your glory!  I know that there will be glory in this situation somewhere, and I pray that it is to your glory!  In Jesus Name I Pray Amen!!!!





 

Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls

As a child my grandmother would make these amazing cinnamon rolls!  They were so amazing that they did not need an ounce of icing!  We would wake in the morning to an amazing aroma of cinnamon rolls, fried smothered potatoes, fried eggs, some mornings should would have fried chicken, and others she would have this thick cut bacon that she cooked to a hard crisp!  Either way it is, and was the most amazing thing about my grandma!  She knew how to bake, and she did it with love.

So I set out on an adventure to give my children the same wonderful cinnamon rolls that my grandma would make for me!

God, thank you for giving me a grandma that I can look back on, a grandma that is still with us, a grandma that taught me the importance of baking for my family, and most of all I thank God for just giving me a chance to spend the time with my grandma!  I cherish that time with all my heart!

Teacher Appreciation Week

I was advised that it was teacher apprecitation week last week so I took the time to make baskets for my kiddo's teachers. 

I hope that their teachers love the baskets that were made!  I did not have a lot of money, but I did what I could with what I had! 

Lord, Thank you for giving my children teachers that care enough to go above, and beyond for them.  Heavenly father please give them strength, and a calm spirit when dealing with the kids that they might stay in their profession for years to come!  In Jesus Name AMEN!!!

Great Weekend

So I started out my Saturday morning, and the family minus my mom went to Denny's for breakfast.  I was going to come back to home to clean, and do some projects when I got hit with an idea to go to Incredible Pizza with my sister!  That was a bust so we decided to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese!  Everybody knows how much that I love Chuck E. Cheese so of course we were on our way.  I have to say that I had a great day with the kids, Kim, Brandi A., and my sister!  What a wonderful way to spend a weekend day!
