Listening to It Rain

Well as I blog tonight I am listening to it rain.. I am sitting here wondering how God knows when the earth is thirsty... Well, I am also thinking of my oldest son PJ and his friend and wondering if they are drinking all the living water that is being fed to them while they are at Gauntlet (Youth Camp w/Newspring Church in Daytona Beach, FL).  From the comment on FB his friend wants to come home.  I personally havent heard from PJ, but they were not allowed to have cell phones.  His friend has an Ipod Touch and they are allowed if they have one to get on FB during their free time.  So the unknowing has me unsettled.  But I hope and pray what he is hearing will effect him in some way.  God is always trying to help quench something for us if we would just take it.  This week has had it's ups and down's but like Max Lucado says in his book Traveling Light" God only gives you enough strength for today and he does not give you extra to worry about tomorrow.  Psalms 71:17-18 "Since my youth, O God, you have taught me and to this day I delcare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray do not forsake me, O, God til I delcare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come". So pray for the youth and pray for all you know because God hears the prayers of your heart.  Just listen to his answers.  God Bless, til I write again.

Spending the Day with JD

We went to North August today to spend the afternoon with JD.  He is the dear friend we have (surrogot GP, since he doesn't have any grandchildren).  He is the miricle that I spoke of in my last blog post.. It is amazing how God heals.  Anyone that has been through weeks and weeks of extensive Chemo and Radiation, with out the miracle of God, does not look as well as JD did today.  He was hansome and his skin was just as normal as I remember.  We had a wonderful lunch and he ate the best he had in days.  We enjoyed the company of his daughter Susan and son-in-law Chris.  We are going to plan a camping trip in the fall which he is looking forward too.  It is amazing how Satan want the uglyness of sickness to stay, but God will heal and give back the beauty.  Even in the end hours of my mom's life I shared how beautiful she was and the minute her soul & spirit left her body, it became very unattractive.  The beauty left her earthly body and traveled to her heavenly body.  Oh Lord what a glimpse you still allow me to have.. Thank you Jesus.. God Bless all of you....

God Is The Great Physican

Hello my friends, needed to share with you that God is the Great Physician.  Also, God moved on Thursday in a mighty way.  Our family friend who is like a surogort G-Pa since he has no grandchildren, was HEALED!!! He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer back in March/April.  He had a scan yesterday and he is CANCER FREE!!!  The best part was that my oldest son was speaking to him on the phone and he told him that he was praying for him everyday.  That he was so happy for him to beat this sickness.  This is comming from a child who has strayed some, but has had so many losses these past two years.  This great news also comes after having to be the man at his grandmothers burial since his father could be there with me.  He is such a fine young man and I am blessed. Mothers, sometimes you don't think your kids are listening or that they are giving you a hard time.  I am a tough love mom, but the one thing I do diffrent is I talk to my kids, I pester to find out what is wrong, I keep pushing and trying to reach them even though they don't want to.  They do come around and tell you what's up.  We have pushed so that with all this texting with the phone we check his texts, he bucked at first but now he will show some of them to us... To funny... Well I hope this blessed all of you.. As God is amazing and he will never stop... God Bless

Coming Home

Well we are home from our trip to NJ. Such a bitter sweet trip. The enternment of my Mother and Uncle, with their parents and brother. A reuniting for them and for me with my family which some I haven't seen in 15-20 years. It's amazing how time changes things, places and people. Some seem to live life abundantly and some still trying to find happiness. But I guess we all are in away. God gives us such Joy but earthly stuff just steals it away sometimes. Even though I enjoyed being in NJ and seeing my fathers sister too, I missed home. I missed my mountain or our farm, whichever. It was a true home coming to where home is now, it is my little peace of Heaven. It was nice to feel missed, by everyone, husband, father and even the dogs were waiting for us. I was so tired I fell a sleep shortly after getting home and was awaken by the boys saying "Mom, Mom come outside hurry look pointing" to the biggest, most beautiful Rainbow. My dad said "what a rainbow" my youngest son Andrew said "It's Nonnie" My home coming to this beautiful Rainbow let me know that my mom what pleased and she is exactly where she wants to be. Thank you God for Rainbows.



Well Good Nite for now and be sure to keep up with me, I have a few projects in the works.



God Bless
