Bittersweet!!

Wow, what a week (first-half) it has been. My little baby girl is growing up right before my very eyes. Praise the Lord that I am able to witness it. I says it's bittersweet because, well this last Thursday she came to me and asked to sleep in her sissy's room (to my shock) I said "Ok", thinking or hopeing that she would come crawling back in the middle of the night. And to my surprise she slept the whole night threw.

The next day she took a nap in her crib for one last time, I guess Iwas too lazy at that point to try to put her to nap in her new bed (Victoria has a bunk bed, so she got the bottom one). So that night she asked again and I said yes, hoping this time she would sleep in her crib. I guess I was in denial about her growing up before my very eyes. I don't like to sleep alone and so the next morning I woke up and she is still in her new bed.

My sister calls me later on in the day and asks if the crib that I gave her (someone gave us an extra one) was missing some screws. So, it was perfect I was able to bless my sister with Veronica's crib (all pieces attached and still in great shape). And by Sunday her crib was gone and all belongings that went with it. It was a bittersweet moment for me. My little girl is growing up, I felt a little sad. I had gone threw this before with my older one, knowing that someday my little one would do the same thing. I didn't prepare myself enough for this, but you know my Heavenly Father got me threw it.

So, in recent posts I stated I was trying potty training and at that time she wasn't ready. Well the last time we got diapers I told my husband that this was going to be the last time we buy diapers because by the time she gets done with these I will potty train her. Well, yesterday I ran out of diapers and remembered that it was time to potty train (this was a little unexpected) well I had it expected and was telling Veronica that we were going to start and one morning I woke up and was like umm.........we only have 4 diapers left for the day. So I prayed right away and was like Ok Lord, I need your HELP!!!!! So when it came time for the last diaper I waited and then I just had her teach a horse how to go and then showed her and the rest is history.

Thank you Jesus for being with me through these times that my walking by sight seems to be impossible but I know that All things are possible through you, so I shall walk by faith and not by sight. Thank you for loving me through this and giving me the patience for this because I know that if you weren't in me I'd be a crazy woman and loose it.

Tonight was church and it was a blessing the Lord totally ministered to my heart and taught me alot about fearing him. And what it will be like when we get older, Ecc 11-12. Fun stuff!!!

Well that's all for now, just wanted to share some of my praise reports with you and thank you for stopping by!!!

God Bless you!

  2. Wow, I am so excited for you guys. I love the horse, I figured with her liking animals more that that would be better than the dolly. You are a genius. Hey, and I have to comment on your remark to Victoria the other day when she found the lizard. You know you are a die hard homeschooling family when you ask if she wants to dissect it!!!! so funny. God bless sister.

What is the Truth?


What is the truth?
Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible.Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.Truth is what God says is true.The truth is important not because it is simply true. It is important because truth is what defines who and what we believe in.Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Especially about Jesus.

How To Know God

How to Know God

Realize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.Repent of your sin.The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.Receive Jesus Christ into your life.Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in...” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven.

The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).

Praise the Lord, if you just asked Jesus in your heart I want you to know that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing for you and so am I. Go to http://www.calvarychapel.com/?show=Churches and click on churches to find the closest church to you and go. Go and tell them that you've just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. They will be able to lead you to the next step.

God Bless you Brethren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen!!!
Your sister in Christ Jesus!!!
