I FOUND RENEWED FAITH

Hello and Good evening  to all my Dear Sweet Blogging Family;

I am so very Blessed to have you all in my life, and even though we have never met,  you are all here for not only me; but for each and every one out there...  Your Prayers I feel so much, and I can't even put into words how it makes me feel......  so Thank You all  from the heart.....

The photo above to me is the path the Lord is taking me down, for the past few days I have really been reading his word every night. He  has been talking to me through the words in the Bible, and showing me  small parts of where he is leading me.  I  really really did  lay down and laid  all my sorrows and troubles at his feet, and left them there...  Ladies I can't tell you how much lighter my Heart is, and the weight of the world is off my back too. 

My husband and I still are talking, but I deep down I have hope of us coming together as one again, but I am at peace if it is not going to happen.  The Lord has taken that  scared  angry hurt  Lady and gave me Peace;   His Peace;  I am hoping to be able to keep my home, but that must be the Lords will not mine, and I am at peace with that too.  But still being  of  Flesh  I will be sad and heart sick, but trust in the Lord that he knows what is best for me...... 

It is not easy by no means to walk a path not knowing where it will lead, but I am.   So for the sake of our family we are still friends and do want to keep the family together even though we are still apart, we think it is very important that they all feel safe and loved and that we can do family  cook outs and such.  It is kind of weird that we are so much nicer to each other now, and we are having some fun at times....  so I see that as a good thing... no matter what, we will always be there for our family together.

23yrs of Marriage is a long time to bring out meanness and hate which I will not do and he will not do... we  have been together much too long for such petty things...

I had better make this short,,,,,,  I know too late..lol    I just wanted to share with you all what the Lord is doing for me in my life, and that I love you all for you concern and Prayers.  So my the Lord Bless each and every one of you....  Until next time;

God Bless;

HELLO IT'S ME

Good evening to all of your Dear Sweet Friends of mine.  First of all most of you know  things in my life are not the best,  but I am doing a little better.  I have such wonderful  kids, and Sister that they are really being such a  great support, to me and my Husband.  We have separated, we are still  working on our problems, we are both in counseling, with a very lovely lady, she has been such a great Blessing to us both.  I see her once a week,  her husband is a Pastor  I really love them both.  Through all of this  turmoil, I am finding such great  closeness with the Lord, I have been reading my Bible every night, Palms and Proverbs, are my favorite.   Such comfort and peace I have found in the Lord.  So I want to thank you all so very very much for your very loving comments which have been so wonderful and uplifting to me.  I keep you all in my Prayers  every day, for I am so Blessed to have you all in my life...  I gave it all up to the Lord and his will be done, in our lives, not matter what that path is ,I  trust in him and have faith that we will  both will survive.  

OK; now for the sweet little  Munchkin  in the above photo, is my granddaughter  Liberty. she is in a soft ball team.... Now  little Libby is very tiny for her age,  hence the name Munchkin, which I have called her since she was born.... lol  

   

Her little sister Haylee is standing to the left of her,  oh and can you see the color of their  team shirts..........  Pink!!!  don't you just love it....   What a Smile;

 

Her helmet is so big that she has to hold it when she runs the bases.... lol  her pants are a extra small and they are still too big for her, she is constantly holding them up....  ha ha  I was  worried they might fall off.... 

  

She is a girlie girl, but out on the field she is all tom boy, which is so funny to see.  I  am having a great time watching her games. She is pretty good too.   

 

Some of the time she was looking kind of board and  then we saw her chewing on her mitt,  I ask her Mom if she forgot to feed her... lol;   Well I hope you all enjoyed my post and the sweet cute Pink photos of my Munchkin....   I will be posting  more now, so please keep and eye out for new ones and stop by for a visit.... I have really missed you all lots, and  I have a lot of catching up to do with you all...   Until next time; God Bless;

LOOK WHO WAS LOOKING AT ME!

Good afternoon dear friends.. I am so sorry for the last two post's they were such a bummer. I hope I did not bum any of you out with my life problems... so I have decided not to dwell on it any more and go out and live my life and let the Lord guide me...

I do thank you all for you Prayers and sweet and uplifting comments though.... ok enough of that..

The other day I was standing at my sink looking out my kitchen window, and who should be look back,,,,, but my sweet  morning dove...  He sings to me every evening, and early morning. I just love to hear him sing....  He was just sitting on the deck that is by my pool,, I took some photos to share...

I tried to get a good shot of him, but I had to go through the screen.  I have a great camera that has the best close up ever.  So to see him better  [I hope}  just click on the photo's to make them larger...

This one is much better, he was just strutting up and down my railing singing to me..  I just loved it..... 

Sorry again for the poor shot...  Now my pool deck is not as close as the photos shows, so this is the close up on my camera.. 

I guess from the looks of the trees it was more then a couple of days ago.....lol  more like a month..  But it was just one of the moments, I ran to get my camera and he seemed to be just waiting for me... After all the shots I took and talking to him he just flew away...  he is never to far that I can't hear him or see him. I really am starting to look forward to hearing him sing and looking for him...   Ok ladies I hope you enjoyed my little post of my sweet morning dove and photos such as they are...  now I am off again to do some blog hopping for Pink Saturday...   I hope you all have a  beautiful Pink weekend... Until next time; God Bless;

MY SWEET DEAR FRIEND'S

Good evening dear one's.  I am so very touched by all the kind and loving comments you have left me.  You have no idea how much you mean to me and have helped me.  I wish I could say that every thing is going fine, but sadly it is not..  We are destine to be apart.  We have been going to a very lovely and Christian councilor, but it was just too late for us I guess.  I am still in a state of shock, that the Man I was supposed to grow old with, is leaving.  I am still going once a week to talk to Diane, I am so blessed to have her in my life at this time.  She has helped me so very much,  too lay it all before the Lord and leave it there, and have great trust and faith in him and he will see me through.  

Any way I just wanted to touch base with you all.  Some days are better than others, but some day they will all be good days I pray.

So until next time;  God Bless;

I WILL BE TAKING A BLOGGING BREAK FOR A BIT................

Good evening my sweet dear friends.  I will be taking a much needed break from doing some posting.  My home life is not going very well at all.  Most of you know that I am helping my Son raise his two sweet children, well what you did not know is that my Husband and I have been having problems, way before they moved in, it just sort of added to the stress of a marriage going bad.  So it seems I am going to be single again at age 51 after 24 years of marriage.  So I have not been doing too well as I am sure you can imagine.  All I can say it that  my Heat is so broken right now, that I am not sure what to do....  I will be doing some visits because reading your posts gives me such a  Blessing.....  I will miss you all very much and reading your sweet comments.

But with the Lords help I won't be gone too long.  I thank you all for you wonderful comments on my last post,, it means so much that you care.....  remember I will be making my rounds to you all.   So until next time.... God Bless;

SOME GOOD NEWS FINALLY;

Good Morning; Sorry it has taken my so long to do a post, still trying to find my footing on this new family I have.... hehe  but I am getting better at it,,,, oh and the really good news is that I am loosing some weight too..... yea rah......  Oh and our hot water heater is finally working, so no more heating up water.  How funny it is that when you don't have the one luxury, your whole life style goes our of whack....  like taking a hot shower or bath.. So I don't take  any thing for granted any more, you never know when you will not have it any more....   So things are not going too bad around here.  Praise the Lord...   This weekend end is our clean up week, and I have been doing some Spring cleaning, not much but trying too. I love clean up weekend...  I have started to pack up my old craft room, getting it ready to move into my new space in the garage. I will have a whole wall just for me..... squeal!!!   I will be able to spread out alot,  So that will be taking a bit of time, but well worth it.  I will be taking lots of before and after photos to share.... I just need to find a great color for the wall and some shelves..... but that will all happen as $$$$ allows.

So I guess that is about it, nothing amazing or exciting going one here,  but I am so so happy to have you all take the time to stop by for a visit, and for you all to leave  such sweet comments... I really look forward to reading each one..... As I have said before you are all the best.....   So until next time; God Bless;
