Just wanted to stop for a moment and wish everyone a very Happy New Year!! I hope God will truly Bless you in the up coming year. May you keep God in the middle of your life and always turn to him when things go wrong. God Bless you and your family!!!
Wow, 2009!! Just can't hardly believe it that a new year is here!! This year has been a year of life lesson's, life mistakes, life blessings, and we learned a hard lesson about each other. There is not a person that I have been talking to that 08 was not without struggles and disappointment's. It just seemed that everywhere we looked, God was teaching us a lesson of some sort. Especially these last couple of months. Lost of work, people getting sick, loved ones dieing.
There have been blessings this year, that we don't need to forget. God truly blessed us, in the fact we have a son, that have been released from the kidney doctor. God blessed me earlier this ear with the sense of me not being able to hear!! He blessed David when he was in a major car accident this year. He provided us the people and material's to fix our roof that was falling in on our house. He answered a major blessing in our life, that is to be unspoken!! God was also with us when me and David renewed our commitment to each other.
So there is so much to be Thankful for and we owe all of our Blessing's to Him. I owe him so much, and I want to make a promise to him. That I plan on making 09 count, and not to look back on what could have been, but what the future has to offer. We can not look back, but instead look ahead. NONE OF US ARE CERTAIN OF OUR FUTURE. But I am certain if God is in our life he will help us through anything. So my Blessing for you this year, is make 09 count for God!!!

Christmas is on it's way...
WOW...as I sit here at my desk, it's hard to believe that the entire month of December is almost over. There have been sooooo much going on it's not even funny!! Not really enough time to even blog. So what's been going on that has been so crazy, I will tell you!!
We had Carson's B-Day, Thanksgiving then Bame it's December. We decided to take Carson in for his four year checkup. Well he is average weight, he passed his eye exam, but failed the hearing exam. The right ear, there was no reading coming from it. So we decided to take him back to the ear specialist to get it checked out. They did the whole entire test on him, he ended up having a small ear infection, which caused him to loose some hearing at the time. So everything is good now. He also got his 4yr shots!! He did good, the last one they put in his arm hurt a little but he was such a brave boy. So we are set till he turns seven!! WOO--HOO!!
So now we start planing the Ladies get together, that was DEC 12. We had such a good time, but it completely wore me out. I had so many craft things to work on. I made the Ladies, a Candy Ornament, a Glass Ball Ornament, a Gift Tag w/Scripture, and Filled a Stocking filled with Candy in it. Put it mildly I'm on a craft low right now!!! I put so much time into working on those things for the ladies, that I didn't even make my Christmas Cards this year. I said NO WAY, this year!! But we had a blast, we had a pretty elegant dinner, and everything was so pretty.
I took three of our Long tables at church and placed them together and formed a large circle. Placed red silk table clothes on each of them. Then I took a Wreath, placed red and green glass balls on it. Placed Christmas Light's around with green garland. The Ladies got to eat out of Christmas Dinner Plates that me and my mom had. The Stage was an old rocking chair, fake fireplace, and the church's Christmas Tree. The whole thing was an event the Ladies said they would never forget. We played games and just enjoyed each other's company. We exchanged Ornament's. Plus everyone got a Door Prize to take home, from the church!! I think I've started a Christmas tradition over at our little church.
We've also had to deal with two Death's this month. One of our church member's, house caught on fire and didn't make it out. His wife and kid's went to McDonald's, so they where not around, when it happened. But he had some problems with drinking and was depressed!! We cannot judge him, only God only knows what happen in the last hour's of his life. But we had to sing, and David was a Pal Bearer!! We had his funeral. Then one of the men that we work with and came to church with us, lost his handicap daughter. She died very peacefully in her sleep. They said she had a smile on her face, like she was meeting the Angels!! So we where asked to sing at her funeral!! It just so happened that I have a song, "On the wings of an Angel." Very fitting, I thought. I tell you what it's just been something else. You wonder why God places these event's in our lives at certain time's. I think it's a lesson that none of us, don't know the day nor the hour of our lives. So make each memory and moment last!!
So as of right now, my focus is my son. And to celebrate Christmas with my family, friends, and just enjoy what this Christmas is all about. This is a special Christmas this year, because me and David have put our whole heart, mind and soul in the Christmas Gift's this year. I can't tell you what it is yet, but after Christmas I will inform you what it is!! It's a surprise for our family.
So this brings us up to the weekend before Christmas, and I only like a few things to get, then I'm done!!!!!! Like I said I want to recognize that the true Gift of Christmas is that our Lord. Sent down his love into a baby, so that we could no what true love and life is all about. I'm so thankful to celebrate his birth. So tonight we will be watching Ginger Bales, Christmas program at her church. I'm excited about watching it!! May God Look Down on us, and Bless all of us this season!!
