Blessed and Highly Favored...

It never ceases to amaze me just how wonderful my God is! I get to wake up every morning and spend time with my beautiful family and friends (who are my family). It is gorgeous out right now and Anaya and I are going to take full advantage of it.

We are planning her 3rd birthday party...can you believe she is going to be 3? I can't. She is so excited about it being a Luau! She likes dressing up in the hula skirt and the leis. I think she would love being in Hawaii. We just might have to take a trip there.

I just wanted to take a moment and tell everyone just how much I love them...


I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Resurection Sunday!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter, filled with lots of family and friends. For those of you who don't know me very well, let me just share with you how I feel about Easter and Resurectin Sunday. I am a Christian and I love the Lord our God with all my heart. I am thankful that God sent His only begotten son to die on the cross for me and my sins. Jesus paid the biggest sacrifice of all, He gave his life for you and me. I'm not perfect and I don't claim to be, but I know that Jesus walked a hill called Calvary for all of us. He endured the pain and suffering that was placed upon Him, so that there would be nothing between Him and I or Him and you. The thought, that He could have called thousands of angels to fight for Him and didn't...makes me realize that He truelly loves me. Do you know Him? Do you know that He loves you just as much as He loves me? Do you know that He knows everything about you, the good and the bad? He still loves you! His heart longs to be close to you and He wants to have a personal relationship with you...all you have to do is open the doors of your heart and let Him in. I can promise you that you will never be the same afterwards.

I am blessed, I know I am...I got to worship and celibrate Easter and Resurection Sunday with the greatest choir that I have ever been apart of. To my choir family and friends you mean the world to me and I felt the Lord's presence strongly all weekend long. You guys remind me of who I am in Christ and help me to find who i'm gonna be. You guys ROCK! Paster Keith and Lisa, you guys hold a very special place in my heart and I thank God for your friendship and support always! You will never fully know what you guys have brought into my life by just being my family.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful day and I hope that you make everyday Resurection Sunday!

May you always keep Jesus in your heart and let His light shine through you!

It's been a while...

hey, I know it's been a while since I last wrote. There has been so many things going on here that time has passed me by.

Musical weekend is coming again and the rehearsals have been long and prosperous. I love Easter and Resurrection Sunday! I serve and Awesome God and I love sharing the "Good News" with everyone. I get seriously emotional, when I remember that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. If you have never seen the movie "Passion of the Christ". you need to.

May God bless you all, Happy Easter!

Sea World

We decided to go to Sea World yesterday. They were having their annual Bud & Barbeque Fest. They have concerts and BEER and barbeque, Trisha Yearwood was in concert yesterday, so we went to go and see her. She is not my favorite but it was a good concert. The girls loved it!

Anaya was so funny, she didn't want to leave the dolphins and the turtles. It was a blessing to watch her checking out all the animals. I saw the world through her eyes yesterday and I was touched beyond words. She is not afraid of anything, if she could of gotten in the water with them she would have. I don't know who was the bigger kid...John, Taylor or Anaya. He is such a wonderful daddy, there wasn't place in that park that he didn't take those girls. It didn't matter if he didn't want to go or not. He was such a trooper. God bless him!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone Happy Valentines Day. I hope that your day and eveing is filled with love and friendship. Today is the day to tell all those that you love, just how much you love them. I pray that you don't let today go by with out saying those three meaningful words...I LOVE YOU!

My wonderful husband, John has to work tonight...so we had our dinner last night. He brought the roses and gave me Weight Watchers candy. He is very thoughtful, he wanted to make sure that he wasn't the reason that I might get off track! God has truely blessed me when he brought him to me. I am just as much in love with him today as I was when we met...almost 5 years ago.

We are getting excited, John is going to finally get a chance to meet my Dad, Grandmom, and my sibblings. He is looking forward to going to NJ to see everyone. I can't wait to take him to Wildwood, I think he is going to have a blast there. I know that I always do.

Love to you all, Happy Valentines Day!

ANAYA HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!

Wow! What a weekend! Anaya was so great, she went up on the stage and waved to everyone and blew them kisses! They ate it up. There were a couple of kids that were in the same show last year and belive me when I tell you some of those moms where seriously pissed off! John's ex Jimmie-lou was there and she entered her little girl...Allison and when she didn't even place...Jimmie-lou was ferious! She was spitting fire afterwards. She wouldn't even talk to us after the pagent. John said it was because she never placed when she was in those pagents.

I can't help that God blessed us with such a beautiful little girl. She had a blast though, even if she didn't win. She just wanted to be on the stage...she is such a performer...I have no idea where she got that from! LOL!

I'm glad it's over for another year. I'm tired! I don't know how those pagent mothers do so many. I thought I was going to throw up. I was more nervous then Anaya....she could of cared less. I was afraid i was gonna wipe out on the stairs. They were huge...I have little legs and almost didn't make the steps. Of course the trophies and the tieras are proudly being displayed on the shelf above the TV. Her sash and programs are put away in her memory box.

Thanks everyone who prayed for us and for all your support, we couldn't have done it with out you. To God be the glory! God is good ALL the time!
