Happy New Years Eve Thursday

Hi to all my friends out there! I know I have been MIA for a while now but truthfully just taking some down time to enjoy the holiday time with my family, also taking some time to recover from the past 15 months of my son,Jason,being incarcerated and then about his sentencing last Tuesday, and what all of it means to me and my family!I am just exhausted from all of it but will be okay.God truly has been with me thru it All!!!
I also wanted to announce the winners of my Giveaway! I truly wanted to thank everyone that participated to help my friend Lani Out!
The winner of the Run-Like-A-Girl Necklace is:Heather at RunFastermommy! She is really inspiring and a crazy runner like myself who is refreshingly funny and honest about her running and life.
My second winner of the XO necklace is Christy at:The Secret Life of an American Wife and Mom You must go check her out! She is very sweet and always leaves a kind comment and encouraging words!
Last but not least I will leave you with a picture of my twinkies! They are growing too fast and I am enjoying every second with them!This was on a cold day when we were getting ready to go for a Run!!

For my running Peeps:remember when your legs burn,to run with your Heart!!!

Music Monday!!!!

It is Music Monday at my friend Tara's blog!Today,The theme is ">Christmas Music! I chose these two songs! We sang the first one,Angels We Have Heard on high" in church yesterday and it was very upbeat and happy!!I just loved singing it and thinking about my Lord and Savior's birth and what a truly glorious day it was!! Lots of people sang along
and it was so amazing to see their faces changed to joy and smiles!!




My second song is,"Jingle Bell Rock"!Many years ago when my son, Jason, was little we created a different version with his nickname in it!!We all used to sing it to him!My girls Belle and Jill can still sing it that way today!!I still sing it that way today and boy do I miss him!!
Very silly and a wonderful memory!


I can't beleive Christmas is almost upon us!I am truly trying to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas!The birth of our savior!Now don't get me wrong,I enjoy looking at lights and all of the festivities but in my heart it's all about Jesus!

Borrowed from my daily Readings~
If you are experiencing a problem and SiNceReLy seek a solution,direct your thoughts to God and don't focus on the problem.You cannot find a solution to your problem if you do not allow God to assist you.
Allow him to create order from chaos and to give you the right solution.When God becomes more important than your problem,you will be fueled by a spiritual power because God is occupying his rightful place in your life.You Will find solutions to your problems and by His grace you will be able to live a victorious Life!!

This really works!! I have tried it!
Love you all!!!

Come play along with us!
