God has given me a chance to find Him and my way of living with Him leading. I am doing my exploring and just need a place to talk about every day life and my thoughts.ALPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18268194571499190451noreply@blogger.comBlogger2761100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801188.post-1157308608189173322006-09-03T14:36:00.000-04:002006-09-03T14:36:48.873-04:00

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people

So while on vacation some wonderful things came to light. I am blessed - very blessed...My youngest son is a sweetheart! Very loving, very caring, very affectionate. Well he was riding bikes with a girl because none of the other children would play with her because she was too small. So Todd sat down with him and reminded him that kissing and hugging is not appropriate (he is known to do this

Hi Everyone!We have made it home. We actually ended up packing up yesterday and came home a day early. I have been busy today washing clothing, putting things away and working on our bills (which at this point in time are all going to be late if I don't get them out today)...I will give a much better post later on!Just wanted to say it is good to be home!

We are just about to leave for camping...Let me say the best stress reliever ever is sex with your husband (or wife)... What makes it an even better stress reliever is when your spouse starts it because he knows you are stressed and he is stressed and he thinks it would be good for us!Wow what a night last night!Hope you guys have a great week.

I struggle with boundaries. I struggle with how to create them. I struggle with every aspect of them. Yet I need to learn how not to struggle with them and how to create them; with or without hurting every ones feelings.I get a call today from Kyle's PDoc. She is a wonderful lady.

I wanted to share it for those of you who do not go there at all and those of you who do not get a chance to read each and every post but do go there....A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school.

I have never even thought of these things before. So today at church it was a bit of an eye opening thing for me. I really never thought of judgement in this way before...Are you a Christian who believes the Lord is going to judge you when you meet Him? Is He going to show all your wrongs to those around you? Is that what you believe your judgement day is going to be?What do you believe your

So I am going to have a couple of posts today because I had some thoughts on the way to church and then I want to write about the sermon today.I was driving to church and realized I praise the Lord while singing in the car. I do - I lift my hand to praise Him while driving and singing. It isn't planned - it just happens. I never really thought about this until I was on my way to church today.

What do those words mean to you? To trust in Him...I am learning how to give Him all. I need to surrender it all. I need to know He will provide everything I need if I trust in Him; if I surrender all.So does that mean if I don't fully trust in Him that He won't fully take care of me? Well how could the Lord fully take care of me if I don't give Him everything to take care of?Last night and

Okay so those of you who read my 200 things about me know that I have no credit score. I have had a credit history for almost 10 years now but I have no score! I guess it is based upon what you do in the past 36 months. Anything past that point just does not count. I still shows on your credit report (the good stuff here guys) but if you have nothing current you have no score. Well I had

Today has been a long day but it has been a productive day. I got up with a headache and still have it so I was pretty sure my day would be a huge bust. Instead though I ended up going outside to see if the pool skimmer we installed was dry. It was so then I attached all the hoses and started to fill up the pool. I got the pump running after a while. Then when it was high enough I got the vacuum

Okay well I didn't post last Sunday about the sermon but I still want to; just kind of dealing with what was said before I post about it... Yet today it was about mutual accountability: Carrying one another's burdens & joys!This sermon came about because of something our accountant said to Lew when he got back on Thursday from vacation. She said, "At the end of 2005 when I sent out giving

Well tonight is the Toby Mac and Mercy Me concert. It should be interesting to say the least. Todd probably won't like Toby Mac all that much but he has a lot of songs I like.My dad was going to watch the boys and now he is just going to be watching Adam. Keith called last night and asked if he could have Kyle this weekend because next weekend he has to go up to a friends how and spend the night.

Of course you are more than welcome to check it out on SNOPES to make sure it is for real for yourself as well.Inflammator Breast CancerVery important to get this information out there to both men and women I believe.

Here it is another day. Our plans for the evening were cancelled. There was supposed to be server weather tonight and so it was cancelled. It did happen but much more south than was expected. So in the end it was a great evening; the day stunk a bit but overall it was okay I guess.I saw my psychiatrist today. She asked me if I had my book done yet. She has been telling me I have needed to

Well on Monday and Tuesday evening (and the rest of the evenings this week; except for Friday because my husband and I are going to the Two Night Concert Tour) we have kids games. It has been a lot of fun. I have been a helping for the snacks and wacky science. It really has been a lot of fun. It is for kids K through 5th grades. So even though Kyle is to old to be in it - he has been a helper.

My boys drive me nuts so much of the time. They fight, yell, make each other cry, are mean to each other and occasionally play well together. Then there are moments like these.I do not remember what went on that weekend but I know we were busy. I believe Kyle was camping with his birth father and Adam and Todd did something special the night before as well. They were just tired and when we got

The day before we were going to the zoo my darling little guy bet me an ice cream cone that we only had bald eagles and no golden eagles at the zoo. So I took the bet. I have been to that zoo at least once a year since I was born so I was pretty sure we had a golden eagle. I had to take a picture to get proof I was right.

We drove all the way to the appointment and of course we had to be late. I refused to just walk in late though so I called to let them know we were going to be late. Every highway we were on had some kind of construction. A hour and a half trip took us three hours to drive. It was crazy.So yes we were late but lucky for us they took some people who got there earlier and took care of them.

What a day... It has been an insane day really and it has not been that crazy.We celebrated Fathers Day with the boys and Todd today. Kyle won't be here this weekend so we did it today. Todd liked his gifts that the boys picked out so that was good.Wearing my "Got Jesus?" shirt today and the crazy thing is so many people were nice to me and talking to me today.

Well today I got Kyle signed up for the gym. Adam was a bit jealous because he can't do as much but he still gets to go and play basketball and goes to the play-center; which he loves.Of course today the shorts Kyle took had a hole in them so I didn't get much of a workout. I had him walk the track with me. We didn't go to far but enough for him to get in something and me as well.Then we

How funny that I actually feel disconnected from the blogging world. It isn't a huge thing but most of the blogs I read on a regular basis I have been unable to read. We are in the process of me switching computers. Well in the process I have not been able to move all of my favorites over onto the new one yet. So all of those people who I was keeping up on - are just kind of gone for now. I

Hard but beautiful. Natalie looked well for what is going on. She had surgery on her leg already I guess. They are hoping they won't need to do more.She picked all of the music and the verses from the Bible - all great ones. I can't even imagine having to pick music and verses or anything out for a funeral for my husband or children really. I guess it is better to say I don't want to

What a weekend. I don't even know where I left off with what is going on...This morning is Jim's funeral. I plan on going to it with the boys. I am not sure if Todd will be going or not because he is working right now but if he doesn't at least some of our family will be there.This weekend we did not go to the hospital. The last time we were there was on Friday night. I was so upset with

I tried to write about this yesterday after getting home but it just didn't happen. I love my Internet connection so I just went upstairs; read my Bible and listened to some music. This is probably going to turn into a couple of posts because I have a lot on my mind and really they don't all go together; other than how the thoughts came about. (there are at least going to be 3 posts from today

Now Todd and I have had our issues since day one yet I always found a way to blame myself. In reality I did create a lot of them but how they have continued on and on is beyond me because I have changed and I am not that person anymore. Yet from his mouth the same old reasons keep on coming up:When I bring a concern up to him and I want to talk these are the things I hear over and over:1. You

What needs to happen to get into heaven? I ask this because I wonder if I am going to heaven or not. I sin daily; I know this. Sometimes it is willingly and sometimes without every knowing.I am not proud of the things I do and yet I want to change those things. They are becoming less and less often though so I am proud of that I can say.Yet what about those around me who I know don't see anything

Some days are just so bad and hard on me. It is more because I am hard on myself and I just don't "get" my husband on those days. About a week ago we were talking about the vacation to Colorado. He has wanted to take the boys before he can no longer ski. I think this is a great idea but I do not like skiing. I had asked him about 3 months ago if I am allowed to go if I don't ski and he said

So I have another week starting and because of the fact that we were camping on Monday I am once again a day short. At least I don't have so much I need to have done before we go some where on Friday. Today I got a lot done but not enough really. I started by doing laundry and while down there I realized I really needed to take care of the boxes we have piling up every where. So once the

Well it was our last day and that is always a some what stressful day because I don't want to forget anything and I want to get packed up and off the site before we are supposed to be gone. So far - it never happens. The day went okay. Todd made a pre-trip home which really helped us out. We didn't have to pack and cram everything into the two vehicles and smash things.Todd was a bit frustrated

Well I knew we were not going to church Sunday morning so I was not worried about getting up bright and early. Yet because of the sun and children we were up early. I got up and started to get the stuff ready for breakfast. We were making omelets and I knew it would be a lot of work but was looking forward to it.We started breakfast around 8:45 and the last omelet was being made and eaten by me

Just wanted to give a brief update of my day. We are leaving to go camping today. I am the one who gets everything ready at our home. That means: grocery shopping, clothes packing, all of our camping gear together, packing the vehicles, making sure I haven't forgotten anything (which I always do) and so much more.As of last night - I had ZERO of it done.

Wow what a day... I worked all day long on getting things packed and together. I had forgotten a few things so I did have to run back to the store for more items but that is what happens. Well let me just start at the beginning of my day... I got up and had to do a lot of things. The weekend holiday really threw me off.

Thirteen of the things Amy loves about Todd01. His laugh; he laughs at the funniest things - like really dumb commericals but I love it. 02. His smile; he just has a great smile when he isn't faking it.03. How he smells in his cologne; I just love it.04. His anal side; it drives me nuts in the moment but in the end I am grateful for it.05. His determination; it is a drive I have not seen before

So today has been so far a day of doing things I don't like doing.I spent time on the phone trying to get an air conditioner issue worked out. It didn't work and Todd ended up on the phone with the guy instead. It was and is a mess. That is something I hate doing - I hate dealing with companies. I hate making phone calls trying to get something done by being mean because I am not mean. I can be

I let my kids rooms look like a tornado went through them and I am an at home mom. One of the biggest problems I have is each and every person in this house walks in with something new each and every day. Then it gets sat down some place that it

What a day today. My days never go how I plan, I rarely get all the things done on my list, and even though I like spontaneity - when the unexpected happens; I don't deal with it all that well. On Friday Kyle's meds changed. I had to call the school about it because he has camp this week. Well I don't have the money to run out and get a new med when all that was done was it was decreased and I

A couple of weeks ago our music director and a bunch of the choir were talking in between services. We were talking about family who was not involved in church and their reasons. The most popular reason given was:"I am not into organized religion." We were talking about that. When you are standing in front of the Lord and He asks them why they were not involved in church and they give that

How in the world did the Lord come about to trust me enough to have children? My oldest has so many issues - all I had in the past and I get it but I am not a good mom. I get to my breaking point and I find I am yelling at him. I hate that about me. He is 13 and thinks he is 25 but acts as if he is 4. Most of his friends don't really have "parents" (so to speak). They let him know he is old

So maybe it won't be so confusing but I am pretty sure it won't be in any order. Last night it dawned on me that Todd is probably not going to get any better. It dawned on me that if he truly does have one of these neurological issues - he probably has less than 10 years left with us. Over the past few days he has been letting me know he has more energy (he stopped taking a med with Dr.'s

Well I guess I really hurt my knee but I have no idea how. I went with the path of ice, Motrin, brace, very little exercise and calling the Dr. back in two weeks if it isn't doing better or sooner if it gets worse.The ice and Motrin not such a big deal. I have hurt this knee before - I can do that. The brace I am not so thrilled about because they make my leg sweat, they are uncomfortable and

How many of you actually do a Bible study? I have been trying and trying but I have no clue what I am doing. So over and over I start and then give up because I just don't get what I am trying to do. I have bought books that people tell me I need so I can study the word better (and some of those books were actually helpful) but no one actually helped me learn "how" to do a Bible study.Well

Now I don't know how many of these there will be but again this is from Lew's sermon on Sunday. Cracking the DaVinci Code - Jesus is fully DivineVoices from the Past;What Church History Really Says.Again you have to remember that there are three main characters that have you seeing how smart and knowledgeable they are for the first 230 pages of the book.

Okay so there was a ton of things I left out and while talking with my friend I remembered them all. So here is things I left out....But the funny thing is as Lew said Dan Brown is brilliant. Whether we want to admit it or not he is. He has written a fiction book but by the time he is "attacking" the Christian faith you are so wrapped up in the intelligence of the characters that you forget it is

So this Sunday that was the title of the sermon:Cracking the DaVinci Code:Rooted in truth: Standing on the Rock Below are just some of the notes I took on what Lew said. I don't have all the page numbers out of the book (could not write fast enough this Sunday - not to self - learn short hand). This is the basic premise of the book/movie and why it is so dangerous to us Christians.The purpose of

At times I often wonder what or how to deal with people who frustrate me. The boys went to my parents house this weekend. Kyle came home without taking him night time meds. If this was a one time thing I would probably blow it off but it isn't. The last three times he has spent the night there - he has not taken his meds. My parents response is well he said he took them. How many times do I

My youngest son Adam got up this morning at 6:05. Of course I had hoped to sleep in today but that just didn't happen. I did however send him back to his room until it was 7 but that didn't last because when Todd got up at 6:30 Adam came out of his room and climbed into my bed. At 7 Adam got up for the day and by 7:15 I could not stop thinking about all I wanted to get done today. So that

So before Todd ever got to read my email saying sorry - he called and asked me to lunch. He also said sorry and explained why he was acting the way he was.I also said sorry to him. We had lunch and overall it was a good day.My praise - my husband said sorry to me.My workout today was mowing the lawn and some yard work.My Bible verse today is:Philippians 4:6-7Do not be anxious about anything,

Last night Todd gets home from golfing and he was just cold. He didn't say much to me and then just went upstairs (I was working in the office).Then I go upstairs and let him know I didn't finish the lawn because I got started on it late. He then starts in on how I did the lawn wrong. I hear things like if you are not going to do it my way then don't do it at all. I feel as if I need to go out

Okay so my praise for today is a bit of an odd praise I guess. I got a phone call from Brad today (the music ministry director). Harmony has been put on hold for the summer because of some internal issues. It will be coming back. Brad is committed to the group. Yet things do need to change. There was a discussion last night with some of the ladies regarding what was going on with the group and

So last night we went to a movie (Todd, Adam and myself). Kyle is off camping with his birth father. Todd was going stir crazy being home all week instead of actually going to work else where. Adam doesn't care what we do as long as we are together (going to miss that stage). I didn't really care but since Todd wanted out - I had to find something (love how it is, "Honey I don't want to sit home

Before I forget...My praise for today is actually a praise from a couple of days ago. If you know of my history Todd and I have had a long rough path we have been down. Money has been a HUGE issue with us. A couple of days ago he asked if it was okay to go and get a sander. I was taken aback by it because he doesn't ask to spend money - it is his money - he just spends it. I said sure and then

Today has been a bit of an odd day. I thought Adam's Dr. appointment was today so I let him sleep in. Well it is tomorrow. So he missed his bus and I had to take him to school. Which really wasn't that big of a deal in the end but he did miss the first recess which he was really disappointed about.I got a phone call from my girlfriend telling me they are moving this weekend.

So church today was just awesome! They had the friendship ministry up there and all the friends sang. It brought tears to my eyes. Then we had two baptisms! How wonderful to see and the gentleman wanted to talk afterwards and to be honest it was more of a praise to our Lord and that brought tears to my eyes.

What a week it has been. I haven't really been online much and that is okay but I don't feel like I got much done this week either.I have been having some issues with breathing. I do not know what is going on but about 3 or 4 times a hour I just feel like I can't get enough air in.
