Hello Faithful Blog Followers.
My apologies for
not blogging in a while.. It has been a bit of a whirlwind life lately.
And
when something comes to mind I write, write, write and read it and think “nah,
better not share that” and it gets deleted.
Sometimes I think it’s best to keep
my opinions and thoughts to myself, (I said sometimes) something I have learned that comes with
age. Seems to keep me out of trouble..
So no Target bathroom blog, (oh my)
No rant
about my thoughts and heartbreak about the young teenager who was beat up and
killed in her high school, and nothing about the kid falling in the gorilla
thing at the zoo.
Just know it breaks my heart and people really
need Jesus.
This world seems to be getting crazier by the day..
It all
starts at home parents. We have to teach Love and Kindness at Home..
Now onto
Life..
First off My Twins are home!! And of course this
makes this momma oh so happy. They both made excellent grades their first year
at college, Cameron made the Dean’s List and now both are busy working their
summer jobs and being at home. Loads of fun being a responsible adult.
(sarcasm)
I am enjoying seeing them when they are home.. Just so super proud of them and thrilled to watch them grow and change and accomplish so much in life. 3 more years to go for
these college fellas..
Way to Go Aaron and Cameron..

| My Boys are home! |
Jazz kept us busy with playing softball the last
3 months of school, and her team did so well.
We loved going to the games and
cheering them on.
She finished her Freshmen year of high school with many
achievements, one of those being making Straight A’s all year. This chick makes
us so proud and even though I am sad about my baby being a Sophomore now, I am
excited to see her continue to grow.
This summer so far she has been busy
raising money for 2 trips she gets to take. Her Cross Country Team is going to
on their first Trip to Colorado and she is going on a trip to Florida with our
Youth group. She has already raised enough for the first trip and working on
the 2nd one. Cleaning houses, having a babysitting gig and helping
her brothers with laundry or their job. She is not afraid of hard work and we
love that about her.
Trav and I have had the privilege of attending
a couple of graduations this summer.
Two of our nephews have graduated and are
going to be attending college.
We are so very proud of them, and wish them the best
in their new season in life.
We are counting the days till we leave for our
very first cruise. We go in September even though our Anniversary is not till
November, we will be celebrating 20 years of marriage.
Lord knows it has not been easy. Some ups and
downs along the way. Some Speed Bumps, a few pot holes and maybe a cliff or
two. But so thankful we toughed it out and stayed together. We are reaping the
rewards for our hard work now. Enjoying much alone time together, and eating it
all up.. I think he is a keeper..
But, My heart breaks for so many people today.
People that I love with all my heart have called it quits on their marriage
lately. I have watched how it affects so many people who have grown up
together. Especially in families. The children. I am a firm believer that God
can heal any situation.
He can restore any relationship.
But it takes 2 open hearts to get help and make
changes.
Life Changes..
Every Single Day Changes..
Changes in your Thoughts
Changes in your Words
I would not be preaching this if I did not know
first hand on how it does help. I surely don't claim to be a marriage expert. But, when you can actually love your spouse more
than yourself on his or her good days and especially the bad and ugly days AND until
both people can quit pointing fingers at each other, and take a breath and look at your
own heart and actions, and realize that Physical, Verbal and Mental Abuse has NO place in a
relationship, than your marriage is doomed.
And that frankly just sucks.
For everyone involved.
Just know, YOU are loved.. You are deserving of
Great Love..
And I am sorry so many are hurting today..
