Missing the Mark

 So often we miss the mark by simply being selfish. I am forever grateful that Jesus did not choose the day of crucification, to choose himself over us. A pondering thought, and such a scary thought would be and should be in our hearts & minds always is this; “Lest I gain the whole world and lose my soul, what would be to gain”. Oh Lord help me to be more humble and have a greater desire for others, than I do of myself. 


“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I’m already losing the battle so I’m already losing me

Simply Put, “You Can’”

 The Most Beautiful Writing I Have Done and The Truest Words I’ll Ever Speak I think this is worthy to read.  A very special couple that I had the true honor to meet last night pointed out somethings in these pictures that I had not given much thought to. Sometimes you just need a different prospective  to see what years of pain and heartache can sometimes erase from your memory. I remember this day like it was yesterday “My Beautiful Wedding Day” and I smile in my heart at what I see and years of what I have felt. Grief takes you through many emotional roller coasters giving you highs and lows that make you think your going to drown, In reality so does life. You will hit many highs an lows through a lifetime some will make you feel like your drowning in sorrow, others will make you think your walking on air. Grief actually is no different other than walking on this side of the road gives a whole new meaning to what that side does. It gives you the true desires of your he...

Reality. Sinks In

  There comes a time in life where you realize that you don't have to please everybody else just yourself. To be ok with the person you look at in the mirror, you go to bed at night and you wake up to each morning is set Heaven ready and ok with themselves is the time you finally realize "I done all I could do God". Maybe it wasn't the right choice for everyone involved, maybe you failed your children in ways that they will never understand. Someday their children won't understand either so you just know you did ok with what you did, made mistakes but at the end of the day ask yourself "Did anyone die"?, did it scar you so bad you can't go to work tomorrow? Good then carry on and you try to do better than I have failed to do. When you can lay the ball down and know you've chased that dream, did you win? I don't know I got side tracked 15 times trying to get to the finish line. Life, got in the way! Life held me down when I wanted to go, life ...

 If you have a chance to make things right today, I beg of you to do it. Tomorrow will never be promised us and today is not done. People expect only good to come to us, but good can always come through trials also. My husband and I are examples of just that. For those of you who may not know our story: On December 21, 2013 my husband developed the flu, and was very sick. I rushed him to the hospital the morning of the 22nd because I could not get his fever down (104.5) they treated him and said yes he has the flu. Home again we believed everything would get better with the Tamiflu. One week later he was still sick, and had a terrible cough, it was the weekend so not much we could do. On Sunday my daughter-in-law went into labor, so him not able to go I went for us both to welcome our new grandson baby Silas, born on Monday December 30, 2013 at 4:09 PM, love him so much and would never change my time of being in Labor and Delivery with my son and daughter-in-law. Precious moments t...
