AloHa FriDaY!!!!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday

Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question is:

when your at home do you where shoes or go barefoot???

I am always barefoot except when it's a little cold I will put on socks!
Okay, your turn!

WaY BaCk When-esday!!

I decided to play along with Cheryl from Twinfatuation!I just found this picture taking in hmm... probably the summer of '88!Yup that is waay Back!! It is my three now grown children.Belle,Jill and Jason! It is a very sweet memory for me!I hope you enjoy and will play along with us!

WhaT I Learned ThiS WeeK!

I am playing along with MusingsofaHouswife.I hope you will come and join us! I just had to get in on this One!

Okay,here Goes!

1) I learned that I have the sloowest computer on the planet and I seriously wonder how I survived when there was only dial-up!?!

2)I learned that whether I do something or nothing time never stands still.

3)If my husband doesn't get back to work soon, I will seriously lose my mind(or whats left of it!)

4)That no matter how bad things seem someone Always has it worse.

5)When I'm out and about shopping, or in a convienience store and I ask someone "how are you?" and they say "okay"If you ask them again they usually will share more and really Want to.On same subject, complimenting,honestly usually makes their day and causes them to smile!(try it)guaranteed to make you feel better too!!

6) The minute my feet start running whether on the raod or treadmill I feel fantastic instantly, and everything else seems to fall into the proper prospective!(this happened just today)

7)That as good as I think I am being or TrYinG to be that God loves me in spite of myself and turns all of my shortcomings into something far better than I could ever imagine!

I am going to have to stop at seven because my sweet Hubby promised to take the twinkies and I out to Super Wal-Mart and we don't want to let him down now do we???


For my Running Peeps(even if your still on the fence)

Music Monday!!

alt="Alternative Name"/>

Today is Music Monday at my friend Tara's.You must go visit her atKeepingupwiththKellys! and play along with us!
I chose the song 'Overcome' today!It is a very powerful song that we sang for the first time with The Praise and Worship Team at our church(I have never sung with any group, choir or anyone ever before in my life)Just had to let you know because it is still so surreal to me.
Okay, back to the song!While we were singing I had a vision of my son in his jail blues sitting on his bunk.He hasn't felt the sun on his face in over a year!He doesn't get to go outside!I started to cry.I know that we will Overcome this trial with God's help and that he will become the man that god is intending him to be! I then looked out at the sea of people in the congregation and thought about how everyone there is probably going throught some kind of painful situation or knows someone who is. I then realized that none of us are immune to this in our lives, but that with God we can OverCome and make it out on the other side!
It doesn't mean it won't be painful and we will be unscathed just that with his help and his strength we will make it and find joy again in our lives.
I hope this song reaches into your heart and lets you know or reminds you how much God(the one that created us all) loves you!!That no matter what your going through call on him and he will be with you thorugh all of it!Love you all!!

Giving My Main Man the Double high Five!!

Today was an AweSoMe day in church!!Today was also the first time that I sang with our Praise and Worship Team or have ever sang in front of anyone,EveR!! It was unbeleivably wonderful!I have never felt like God was right there in that place more than I did today!!!I also have the most amazing, compassionate Pastor on the planet!(he did not pay me to say that)Haha! Not only 'cause I say so but because he truly is.
Mostly he just tells it like it is but he always puts himself in his storyline so you always feel like he is teaching you and never thinks he's better or above us regular people!
What I got out of today was to: AlWaYs,AlWaYs,AlWays, Praise God in Everything we do!! PraiSe him in the good times and in the Bad Times!!When you think it will never change or your situation will never get better,Praise HiM!!
I know this might sound crazy to some of you and I understand.What God wants us to do is turn to him, after all he created us!You do know that he created you and loves you as his child.Just like we love or will love our children!He wants us to stop FoCuSinG on the CiRumStance or ProBleM and FoCus on HIM, and the Fact that he is the God of Circumstances and can Change WhaTeveR it is your going thru.
You just have to trust him with your heart and ask him to come into your heart!!! I know it sounds hard but It reallY is So Simple!So stop worrying and start Praising!Just try it and watch how your emotions change!I have done this and continue to do this especially since my son,Jason has been incarcerated!Actually, he was the one who reminded me to do this daily!There is an update coming on him too!
I didn't mean to be so long~I just love you all!!!
I will write again soon and my twinkies are doing much better!
