My sweet Amanda~

So Ummmm where do I start at? Ummmm, I know Amanda, I dont know if you all know the store that she worked up closed it doors after years of bussiness, some people got transfered to another store, unfornitanly Amanda was one that did not, she paid her dues to the Union so I took her down to the Union hall cause we had guestions we wanted answers too, and one of mine was " If she paid her dues why isnt it that shes not protected?" well come to find out baggers where not, not for this kind of stuff, now if they had a complaint she would of, " So basically it was all for management? Always for management, for the people that bagged and took out groceries in 102 + heat or the freezing cold, rain, and wind and brought in carts, while management stayed cool, warm and dry" I was IRRATE!! I told Amanda GOD didnt want to transfer for a reason and one day we'll know why, so times goes on she applys for unemployment and she got an idea " Why dont I just go back to school" so we checked into all these tech schools, she found one she liked and filled out loan and grants and got approved for quite a few and so wall la, she's in school for medical coding and billing and is top of her class right now and has seatled down in her social life, had a boyfriend for a few months but he had problems he needed to take care of in his life and she just couldnt handle that, so they broke up and at one time they stayed friends but he hurt her and she has pushed him away, I told her she needs to pray for him, have tried to explaine to her that people come into our lives because GOD has allowed to them cross our paths for a very special reason, so in we'll see in time what happens with that whole thing, she is done with her DUI classes but is still paying on her fines, something her Dad and I refuse to help her with!! In a short amount of time my baby girl has grown up and is acting like an adult, O she still goes out but nothing like before, after all she has no extra funds for that...so our relationship is getting so much better and I have to say I love it, love having her home, love having someone to talk too when Larry is at work, love hearing her laugh I'm just loving her!!!

Just thinking back...

So this morning I got to thinking how much I miss blogging, I think face book has taken over, maybe because its so much easier to chit down a quick little something than to dig deep into the soul and write, but I confess I have fallen to the face book world too, I have so much exciting things that will be taken place in my life, No I am not going to be grandma....but things that will be happening with my children, you know the ones that I have blogged about before, the ones that make me want to pull my hair out and scream at the top of my lungs, yes them, Amanda & Johnanthon....they both are finally excelling in adult the world and what a wonderful feeling that is, and my best friend, Mom, that some times I have to be the adult with her world is about to take a train ride that's going to derail, my step dad has the early signs of Alzheimer's, a sad, sad thing to see happen to a man who use to golf 3 times a week and bowl once a week is now not doing much of nothing any more....so yea I have so much to write about and blogging is like a journal to me, I have now found an awesome church that I go to as much as I can, I go with a dear friend of mine who fell back into the world but managed to find GOD and its the neatest thing ever to be with her in a place she loves, so yip lots to talk about and I want to with all of you, my blog family~

O my

O my goodness!! It has been so long since I have been on here & I am sorry, with facebook I have neglected this blog and I have noticed no one has even read my last post which is 5 months old, so why should I...I will post this and sees who really comes by. I still love you all

2 years ago today he went to go live in HIS mansion....

This very handsome man that I had the very special honors to call my brother, my BEST friend, my buddy, my mentor, Joe Joe, Joey left this world 2 years ago today, and there isnt a day or night that does not go by that I dont tell him I love him & miss him...I can now look at this picture and talk him about him with out crying, there are time's I do. Our Mom still has not gone out to his final resting place and maybe might not ever, she said he's not there, it's just a shell of his body and I have to say I understand that, but for me I so enjoy going out to his final resting place it's " MY " alone time with him, all my life I had this handsome man in my life, he was the one man who never walked out of life at sometime!! I sit here and think of some of the stuff we did to our mom and smile, some of the things we said to her and giggle, remember some of the things we did to mom before she went into surgery for heart surgery while mom was high on meds to relax her and laugh it's those kind of memories that I will cherish the rest of my life, here's an example of one thing HE put me up to and denied when Mom and Bill came home from a 2 week cruz in Europe...Him and I where talking and I told him how much I missed mom...he ( with out much encouraging ) told me to call their home phone and leave a conversation on it as if I was talking to her, so I did!! and when the answering machine hung me up I called it back and said " Why did you hang up on me Mom I wasnt done talking" and continued to talk, well when they came home my step dad played the answering machine and heard my one sided conversation and told our mom " I think Annette might be doing drugs " when I told Joey this he laughed so hard, and the one time he told me to put fluorescent sticky notes all over their slider when they where gone for a week saying random stuff, I had to call him and ask things to write cause I ran out of things to write, I wrote things like the temperature out side was....the color of flowers, what ever I could think of, their slider was covered in fluorescent colored sticky notes...and he denied having anything to do with any of this!!!



I miss him so much but I no for a fact one day I will see him again....



I love you Joey~








My brother drove one of these, in fact this

is what my brother just got doing the

the night he left....

They are all HIS .....

Yes, I am playing with my blog design AGAIN !! I get bored so easy any more...hahaha.

Well my John is back at Fort Benning and has his good days and not so good days, I'm so afraid he's going to get bored and just drop out, he's not in a company yet due to him getting physical therapy for those stress fractures, I've told him time and time again to try and stick that out, but he's got to stay busy, they do have him in a group of late starters, but at one time they had him with the " quieter's " and he HATED that, he told they " Mooom, they are just d@mn depressing " I told him " Son, you would be too if you had to stay there for 3 1/2 months and do nothing but crap stuff and get no privileges at all." these are boys & girls who in the very get go realized this Army stuff just wasnt for them or they just couldnt handle the boot camp part, military isnt for everyone I told him, still praying for my baby, I will ALWAYS & continue to pray for him....

Amanda has been spending a little more time with me and I have to say it's been nice having someone to watch t.v. with even if it is her shows and to have someone to eat dinner with, eating with John's pup at my side just isnt cutting it....Sunday in church Pastor said " If there is something in your life you have been trying to take care of and just cant handle it any more, come down and give it ALL, all of it to the LORD, so there I went, with tears just rolling down my face, make up smearing, nose running, I mean the works and I gave it every bit back to him for HIS help and I felt so much better, I thought I had given her back to JESUS but I guess some of me still kept her in MY arms, so with my eyes closed I laid her in HIS lap with HIS arms embracing her, she now is HIS.....

John, Amanda, & me

By golly George it's been a long time since I have posted, so much has happened since the last post, for starters..my John is home but will go fly back to boot camp Oct. 3 to finish, he came home cause he had stress fractures in both calves and usually they dont let them come home in his company, they usually are made to stay there or quit, I talked to John one night on the phone for a long time and he just wanted to give up, he was fed up, disappointed, in pain, the enemy had him right where he wanted him, I tried and tried and tried to give him words of encouragement and it just wanst working, the enemy had him good, I told him " Son, go talk to your Sr. Srgt, they all know whats going on and they're watching you too see how long it's gonna take you to buckle, just give your best shot honey" that night I laid in his bed and prayed that his Srgt. would have a merciful heart and see my Johns heart and desire, I told my heavenly father, " Father, I give my son back to you, he's all your's, from every hair strand in his beautiful head to the last toe nail on his strong feet, he's your's" the next day I got a phone call from my son, on his Srgt. phone telling me he's coming home and only for 3 weeks, and that he's going back and will get to go back where he left off at,PRAISE THE LORD!!!! he doesnt get to graduate with his new friends he made but they are letting come back, which is unusual, LORD heard my prayers, I'm still praying for his calves which have gotten so much better, no more pain, no more iburphoen being taken, no more swelling, but I do know LORD is still healing him!!!!! So graduation will be at later date, I'm thinking the middle of Nov. or the very latest the middle of Dec.

Now for Amanda, O this daughter of mine.....she got herself in LOTS of trouble, I thought I would never repeat this but here it goes, she got herself a DUI back in July, she kept from us for 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well mom found out and I didnt yell, didnt threaten, didnt throw up against the wall, I was very calm when I told her I found out, see the enemy wanted me to do all those things then some, I wanted to but couldnt, I could feel JESUS had control of my emotions, well she's looking at some HUGE fines, community service, she picked that instead of doing 5 days in jail, classes for 4 months that she HAS to pay for for, she's on her own on this one, I did threaten Larry and told him if he helped his little DUI princess out that would be the straw the breaks the camels back, she has to learn something on her own, I prayed for LORD to have his way with her and her partying, I told him " LORD, do what ever you need to do with her, no matter what it is you put her through, I know she will be OK cause you've allowed her to be there and I know you would never allow her to be hurt, so AGAIN I gave her back to her heavenly father, 100 % of her.....so there you have it....

Me: Awww me...I have loss 20 lbs since my gall bladder surgery, have to cause of this nasty liver of mine, went down 2 pants sizes...yep I am happy and proud of my self, been going to church every Sunday I have off and loving it, my grown babies are home, loss weight, mom is doing great, John's pup is getting under control and GOD loves me, life is good, the enemy is trying with all his might to tear me down but I will NOT buckle......

Just a few minutes before going to church....

I have a few minutes before going to church and thought I'd post a little something....Got a letter from my John and after graduation he will be stationed in New York at Fort Drum for more learning, out of 210 boys the drill Sargent told him he's their best shooter and they are now doing qualifications for their weapons, I am getting very excited about going to his graduation in October and seeing him and hugging him, I was watching a video on a face book page they have and the boys where jumping from what they call the " Eagles Nest " it's a tower about 7 stories high and some of these boys where scared out of their minds, they are harnessed in, they had to scale down and one of the drill Sargent told a boy this " The enemy has no fear and so we should not have fear" that has stuck in my mind, when I first heard that I thought " The devil is our enemy so there for we should not fear him" like the soldiers in training, their drill Sargent's are their protector right now, like GOD is ours, they trust their drill Sargent's and we should trust " our drill Sargent JESUS" like the drill Sargent's in the boot camp they are not gonna let these boys get hurt, they are making our future, just like GOD, he's not gonna let us get hurt for we are the future, does any of this make sense?






My mom and step dad are not gonna be able to make it to Johns graduation, which is a good thing I'm thinking, mom would have a terrible time there breathing and the heat, so it's just gonna be the 3 of us, a nice memorable family vacation, havent done that in years, seems like once the kids got older they didnt want to go any where with us, " Too boring " .....






Please keep Oklahoma and the other states that are much need of rain in your prayers, my cousins in Oklahoma that have pig farms, have had to have their grain shipped in from other places, no rain to water their crops, a huge expense on them.






I will leave you a couple of pictures of my John I found, keep these future soldiers in your prayers, I've been asking GOD to keep them cool and to carry them when they feel they cant go on any more, and to have the angels gently flap their wings with a cool breeze on them on these hot days there, the other night on the news the heat where Fort Benning is was 101, thats pretty dang hot....

John is the one in the middle writting, this a bible study they have for the boys....

I wonder why??

Today I have thought about so much and missing so many important people that where once in my life...I wonder why there are days like these? I wonder why some days I miss them more than others? I sometimes believe that GOD allows these memories to come and go to remind me of what lies ahead for me and how I will never have to wonder these thoughts again and my heart will never feel heavy again....I miss these people so much they ALL played very important roles in my life and I am who I am today because of them, I wish I could be given one more time with them to tell them I love them, to give them hugs, to be able to tell them how important they have been in my life, just the one more time, so until I see them again all I can do is talk to them as if they are here with me now and believe they hear me but it's nothing like it would be in person to see their facial expressions or feel their skin when they hug me back or smell their sent all I have now are memories of all those things...sometime back I wanted to call my friend and the only phone number I could remember is my brothers and I wondered why....so I sat on the couch and had a conversation with him, closed my eyes and pictured him here with me, I could see him laughing at things I told him about our Mom, the kids, this pup, and I could see him cry when I told him I wished he was here and how I felt he was missing on so much and I could see us hugging each other, I remember caressing his face and playing with his ear lopes, yes I LOVED my brother more than any man I have ever had in my life, he never walked out on me and momma and I know one day I WILL walk through those pearly gates and he will be there waiting for me, no more imagining !!!!!!!!!! I wonder what these people who have left will look like now, they say in heaven you are young, will I recognize them? will they recognize me? I believe so......

Who is this handsome boy & future solider?

Do you know who this little boy & handsome future solider is???

He's MY Johnathon......

* I've enlarged the picture some so he looks blurry.....but still very handsome =)

Some Of This....Some Of That.....

Good Morning my sweet friends~

I worked yesterday and this was suppose to be my 3 day week end, which has never happened to me before but I agreed to work for a co worker dont know what I was thinking, but it does give me an extra day on the pay check, only to have Uncle Sam take it back....

My Johnanthon called me yesterday, he's now use to sweating he said and the boys in his group are getting better, not messing up so much, I reminded him that I was praying for all of them thats why they're getting better! he told me " Mom, you dont know how many times I have just wanted to quite and come home " I said " O..Son...don't give up, just stick it out your almost done, full fill that dream you've always wanted" the stories he's tell me makes me so sad and the things he's done I would never dream of making him do, but he's becoming a man and a solider, I told him " I wish I could help you honey" " I know you do Mom, who've always been here for me, but you cant help me this time" then I cried and bawled on the way home from work, but GOD reminded me that he's been there with him...my little smart mouth boy, the little boy who was ALWAYS in trouble in school, the little boy that NONE of the parents liked their little boy to play with, the little boy who once brought me a snail shell with a the snail still in it cause he thought I would like it with the rest of the shells in the bathroom, the little boy who brought me a orange colored leaf cause he liked the color, the little boy who put cards on the spooks of his bike tires to annoy this crabby neighbor is now becoming a man.....one of the 2 ceremony he will attend when he graduates is getting his blue rope and he wants my step dad to put it on him, him and my step dad are pretty close I thought that was just the kindest thing ever, Larry's feelings got hurt a tad bit, but John and Larry have never been real close, John said if Bill and Mom werent going he'd want me to put it on him....I could write and write and write on Johnanthon but I will stop.....

Amanda's been a busy social bee..the county fair is going on and shes been going all week end, I have no desire to go this year just wayyyyyy to crowded, I mean dangerously crowded and the gangs are there as well as the drunks and those 2 together just dont mix, so I will stay home, Amanda and I have NOT been getting along at all, she's said some pretty hurtful things to me and I've become numb to her, so when I pray for Johnanthon I pray for her and tell LORD to have his way with her, and that I know no matter what he puts her through she'll be safe cause he's allowed her to be there for a reason, maybe I live in a world of " dreams " with her but I dont think it's wrong to want a relationship with her again, I do not like her crowd of friends at all, they have nothing going for themselves and arent worth a pot to put water in but I just ask LORD to open her eyes and he will one day, he knows her calender and what event is gonna happen when and where.....so in the mean time I cry my eyes out for Johnanthon sometimes and then pull my hair out for her.....but GOD will prevail!!!!!

Tid bits......

Man I feel awful for not posting after writing about how no one ever post much any more but I forgot to pay the inter net bill and because of the way the bill was billed I got stuck with 2 months and I had to let some bills go for a bit, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive in today economy....all is well, Johnanthon is adjusting I think or at lease it sounds that way from his last phone call and the letter I got, he did say it is getting pretty hard and he's in a group with a butch of boys who mess up and easily does 500 push ups through out the day, so I told him I wrote him and told him I will pray for those boys to start straighting up and pay attention, can I please have you ladies pray for Johnanthon? ask GOD to keep him cool in that Georgia weather and to pick him up and carry him when he starts feeling like he cant do any more and to have the angels gently push him along as well, I know GOD has heard me, but the more that prays the better....
I spent a half a day with Mom, I love just sitting and chatting with her and every time she ask about Johnanthon she cries, he would go over and do little odd jobs for them or just stop by and get fed, he loves his grandma and I love that he use tojust drop by and visit her, he's done it more now than before, ever since my brother left....and Johnanthons Missy is finally getting use to him being gone and isnt so mopey, shes got her spunk back, I dont know what I liked better, her being mopey or her having spunk, hahahahaha.
With everything thats been going on around here I find myself chatting more and more with LORD and just finding comfort finally in my life, I think LORD loves it when I finally lay my head down and go to sleep for the night, gives him a chance to listen to someone else for a change for a few hours any ways....

He made too Georgia....

Well my Johnanthon is in Georgia!!

Monday Larry and I took him to his recruiters office so he could be taken to MEPS in Sacramento I think, for his one last physical and getting his last paper work in order, his recruiter is just an awesome man, I did real good til I hugged him and got in my car to go back to work, I know he'll be back but it's the thought of him being gone for so long that hurts, he was suppose to fly out Tuesday but because of conflict in time he wasnt able too, so they flew out the next day. He's called me almost everyday while he was here in Cali, called me from the air port in Georgia and was waiting on the bus to take them to base, he said he just ordered and I quote him " A BIG FAT T-bone steak with a bake potato and corn with a Pepsi and a piece of chocolate cake, I know my meals after tonight arent gonna be worth a crap" he said it was so hot when he got off the plane he couldnt breath...he's learned how to sneak and do stuff, he was standing outside the store telling people where to go and he asked his DI ( drill instructor ) if he could use the bathroom and he was told No, and he had to go real bad, so he figured a way to relieve himself with out the DI knowing, thank goodness it was raining that day, he said all 49 of those young men in his baton have a attitude ( and yes, he's one of the 49) He will be in class for the next 2 weeks then they will be doing field exercises. I miss him so much. I heard a loud stereo the other night and told Larry " Johnanthon's home " I made a dessert this week and thought " Johnanthon will like this" just little things like that, that makes me miss him, my goal this week is too sanitize that filthy room of his..I was told by a friend who's son is the military " Stand proud..your a military Mom now" and when I think of that I get all teary eyed, we hung our flag on Wednesday for Johnanthon, it's suppose to be good luck to your son or daughter while they are in basic to hang your flag the whole time they are in training, so I hung mine with such pride, the neighbors all ask " Hows your boy doing in basic?" makes me so HaPpy to know they have a military boy across the street from them, they all have told me " We are praying for him" or the retired minister across the street told " I had our church pray for your son last Sunday that he does good in boot camp and for him to be safe" that reminds of something Johnanthon told me this morning when he snuck to call me, he said he's going to church on Sunday, I said O good Son, he told me " yea, I figure I can sleep a little more in there" " Johnanthon Gilbert Davis" I said back in a stern voice..." You pay attention to the word that is spoken that day" it made me giggle a tad....

My son is in GODS arms, I ask GOD every night to keep him cool while he's in basic so he wont get sick and to have the angels wings push him through the field training and I know he will, cause I have put him 100 % in GODS HANDS and you can not get any better protection than that, I just got the chills when I typed that so I know for a fact GOD is full filling my request....

And a PROUD father

Whats happend???

Isn't it sad that really none of us blog much any more? too busy in life or checking in on each other on facebook but not personal with each other like before facebook came along....my goal is too to get back on to blogging and visiting everyone again and seeing whats going on, getting back into blog family lives again and getting my relationship with each of you open again, I may not blog much but please dont think for one moment I have forgotten any of you, how can you forget people that GOD has put into our lives and become part of their families....I do get kind of sad cause when I do post it seems like no one reads out posts so sometimes I have to be honest here and I will ask myself why blog? no one reads them, there are a few that I can count on to visit me and I have to say I get as happy as a clam in water...I hope to get some what personal on here so all of you will know whats going on in my life, I do love you all....soon I will post pictures of my Johns graduation/ Going Away To Boot camp party and our trip to Yosemite Ca. with just him 3 days before he left, the waterfall where just stunning cause of all the snow we had, these are the kind of things I miss sharing with you....

The liver reminds me so much of life.....

As many of you know I have been diagnosed with a stage 2 fatty liver, and this can go bad IF I dont take care of myself, so I try to learn as much as I can on this and everytime I read anything on it I cry and get so upset with my self for not taking care of my self when I was younger, all because I wanted to have what I thought was "fun time's" then, this explaines so much to me, I learned that with a not healthy liver like mine you dont absorb hormones, explaines why my hormone levels are ALWAYS wacked off, explaines why I'm tired, my liver dont break done iron very well at all, so I have to be careful and not eat too many green leafy vegtiables and red meats, but I have learned that the liver is one of the most forgiving organs we have....just like GOD so forgiving, this liver reminds me of a human, lost in the world damage with out GOD but then you find GOD and you are forgiven and very well taken care of for life, but the rest of my life I have to it checked every year not unless something comes up and take very good care of myself and with GODS love and gentle hands on me, but it still makes me sad, so very, very sad....

HaPpY Momma Day.....

Hundreds of dew drops too greet the dawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

But only one mother the wide world over.

~George Cooper

My brother and I are the luckiest people in the world to have been blessed with this lady as our mom, mother, momma & friend. Thank you LORD for giving her to us.....

I tried to find that picture of my brother, mom and I but was unable too....

Johnanthon's mad & so am I....all over Cinco De Mayo...

I AM FUUUUMING MAD!!!!!!!

Here it is 11:38 and my son is home from school PISSED OFF and I can't say I dont blame him!!! I'm like " Why you home son..to go to the bathroom?" he leaves school to come home and do that then he goes back, no biggy but I could tell something was wrong and I asked him and he said he walked into class and their studying for finals in small groups and his teacher said " How about Johnanthon's group discuss on racism, you should know all about that Johnanthon." John is like " Whats that suppose to mean?" " We all know how racists you are and what your going to do to the kids in school who are Hispanics and their cars" John asked " Sooo, just tell me what I am suppose to do" the teacher told him how all the school personal knows that he's gonna smash in their windows, John got so mad and pushed his desk over and said her to go screw her self that he was NOT prejudice at all and that he could careless about their holiday, it's just like us with the 4th of July and that he had friends of all races, so by now the office is calling him and threatening him telling him if anything happens to anybody car he would be the first one they suspect and the cops would be called and again John told the principal this time to go screw himself to hell and back and that he was leaving cause he wasnt going to be blamed for anything or be accused of such a stupid a$$ crime, did I mention I so bad want to go down to that school and tear into them...but I wont yet..I'll just wait and see what comes of it....

I can honestly say the only thing my son has a problem is people being gay, he just dont get it or understand how people are that way, but he's not mean to them, after all his sister has friends both male and females that are gay and they've been in my home, they've even eaten supper with us, went places with us and John's very respect to them, Amanda's friends that are lesbians, John will tease and joke with them about other girls, so serious to say my son is prejudice is an insult to me as well, but all that I can do is pray for this teacher and ask GOD to let her see my son differently and not to believe everything she hears, and too look deep into my sons heart and see it full of life and love and to ask him to cool me down....my whole family knows that if and when they go to HEAVEN that these very same people who are causing this trouble could be their neighbor, one just never knows who we will see HEAVEN walking those beautiful streets of gold....

I give him allot of credit for walking away from the matter instead of staying at school and maybe risk the chance of getting in so much trouble that could keep him from fulfilling his dream of going into the Army, Thank you LORD for steering him away from the problem!!!!

Mom's heart stint, Easter fun, & Johnanthon's new girl....

Let's see what's been going on since the last time I posted....my mom had her heart cath done and the Dr. ended up stinting another stint, the first stint lasted about 4 years, not to shabby but could be better, it's all in genes, I was not liking the thought of my brother not being there with me, this was the first medical thing I had to do with out him, I wasnt alone, I had my step dad there and my daughter went as well but I just wanted my brother, but there was a family there, a BIG family there waiting for news on there loved one wither he was to have a valve replacement or a repair, well the news came and he had to have a repair but the poor man was sent home and had to have a test done on his lungs to see if his lungs could stand up to the surgery, I felt so sorry for his wife and the rest of the family, the fear in their eyes, why didnt they just keep him in the hospital for that? I'm sure it was an insurance thing, it's always an insurance thing, so I prayed for that man and that family when I was sitting there waiting to see mom...and that family gathered around one another and prayed as well, I hope this man is doing ok, got the chills just then when I wrote that part, so I take it he's doing good.....

Had a good day Easter, good food, good people, and some real fun games, one of the games played was the little children hid the eggs for the adults who was 50 or over and some of the plastic eggs had numbers in them, they called your number you got a prize! the prizes consisted of things "older" people would use, for example...a magnifying glass, a nice big jug of prune juice, incontinent pads, Just for men hair coloring, tucks....it was all in fun, but I got to thinking about it, I'm only 47 and love prune's, I use bifocals, I color my hair cause of gray and I'm not 50!! what the heck, I dont use incontinent pads......yet!!

My Johnanthon has a new woman in his life, her name is Missy Jean, she's very petite and so sweet but I am going to teach her some manners if she's gonna stay around here, so far we all like her, he was introduced to her through some friends, her and Johnanthon hit it off immediately, she's with him every chance she gets and seems to love him and I think she will stay very devoted to him....I will post a picture of this new beau below, but I must warn you she's black and thats all good with me...

Isn't she just the most adorable girl ever? Here name is Missy Jean, she's half black lab and half German Short Haired Pointer, she's a hunting dog, and man O man she LOOOOVES her man, he brought her home and I was like " TAKE HER BACK!!" put the food back in his truck and the whole 9 yards, well the next day I baby sat her and she's won my heart as well as Larry's, he was like me, then Johnanthon proceeded to tell me when and where ever he gets stationed at he would have her flown out to where ever he's at, and " O know you wont...I've helped raised her and your NOT taking her from me" I believe this little love has come into our home for a reason....GOD works that way......

HE'S IS ALIVE, OUR JESUS IS ALIVE....Happy Easter~

Luke 24;4-7 ESV

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. (5) And they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, " Why do you seek the living amoung the dead?" (6) He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee (7) "That the son of man must be delivered ino the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise"

Luke 24:23 ESV

And when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels who said he was " ALIVE"!!!!

A day late, but I am being reminded....

I know I am a day late on this but it was been so heavy on my heart this morning, it's about " Good Friday " I was cleaning this morning and thinking about the pain GOD took for me, I wondered if he saw my face? did he see my brothers face, my mothers,farther, did he see my children, I wonder this and it just made me cry to know he took whippings, beatings, spit on, rocks that where wrapped in cloth and was hit with all for me, then nailed and hung with a crown of throwns smashed into his head, birds picking at him, the heat, thirst and the humiliation of being laughed at, all this for me, funny how house cleaning reminded me of this, maybe because as I was cleaning the dirt and grime from my home JESUS was cleaning the dirt and grime from me, long before I was thought of in this time, but he knew I would be born as well as all of the others I thought of, I complain of back, my ankle, my head hurting, my heart aches, and not once did he complain of his pain, so my little aches and hurts are nothing compared to his, then he was thrown into a tomb, to be forgotten of, left there to die, do you know how many times I have wanted to run and hide and cry ? but why? when I come out of my hiding place it's all still there, the things that made me want to run and hide, JESUS did not run and hide nor did he die, HE LIVES, lives in my heart, lives in my thoughts....this morning all I see in my mind is the stripes on his back and him hanging on that cross for me, GOD reminding me what his SON had to go threw for ME, I love and treasure when the Holy Spirit reminds me of things, he knows my heart and desires.....

For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten so that who so ever believed him shall NOT parish but have EVER LASTING LIFE!!!! John 3 : 16
