Just when you think that life with family as finally gone in the right direction, it throws you curve balls. Nothing is at it appears, nothing set in stone, and nothing but our own individual salvation is so important.
I have to trust in our Savior and His divine intervention. As sad as it seems, we have to keep moving forward. Keep our faith in Him who has sacrificed for each one of us. He blesses our life in ways that we sometimes don't notice, and other times you understand exactly what your blessings are. Life is a precious gift, not to be wasted or thrown away on worldly passions.
May we each find God in our waking up, our daily experiences, and remember to thank Him before we slumber. May we also, keep in mind, we are never alone, Jesus and our loving Heavenly Father are there waiting for us to reach out and invite them into our life.
Love to all, no matter your circumstances, is waiting to change your life, you only have to ask and be of a sincere heart, and a willing spirit.
Thank you Lord for all your love, patience, mercy, and blessings. :)

More Family Connections
I was up until about 3:00 A.M. chatting with cousin Earl Marble on Facebook. It is such a blessing to get to know family. Now to connect with his Brothers; Rex and Glenn.
You know people come into our lives for a reason. This is a new journey to embrace. I think the feeling that this year would end with growth and blessings is happening. The Lord is right there and knows what we need and at what time of our life. I trust Him whole heartily.
Whenever I think of family I used to have the mindset of my immediate family members, now I am feeling there is more to our lives than just us and them...it is a bigger picture for sure.
May each one of us find those moments in each day that show us the amazing grace of a loving Heavenly Father.

Family Treasures
Family is what it is all about; I have been blessed to have my family in my life. The blessing pour into my life and add such surmountable opportunities. I am grateful for the Love and patience that my life has. Precious memories and experiences, that I have been blessed with.
Recently added to the blessing of family; by getting on Facebook and finding my Half Sister IvaLee Huss Morrow, which in turn led to her contacting my half Brother Lynn Huss. It was an awesome experience and I would never trade it for anything!
Now if I could find Dixie Huss ?. That would be good also.
Life is short, we can only accept and enjoy the moments we have with family. They are what I hope to take with me into the next life. There is nothing so valuable as family and love. I cherish each one and pray always for their well being.
Gentle is the breeze and gentle is the Love of Jesus Christ, who has our best interest in mind. Thank you for all you provide for and share with each one of us.

Rewarding days
A rewarding day is one that has no regrets, one that enjoys who others are, and a day that you accomplished what you set out to do.
Regrets are a waste of time, always going back to undo what you shouldn't have done in the first place. I know no one is perfect, but if you have made every effort to do your best, then regret cannot enter into the day.
Who others are; it is easier to enjoy someone if you can enjoy the good side of them, knowing no one is perfect, and we all are trying to do our best with where we are in life. Some are just better at it than others or have learned the lessons of life better.
Accomplishment; is doing what you hoped for and giving it your best effort. Letting go and having a willingness to not have it so perfect that even the littlest things can send you over the edge, or change your good mood to a sour one.
That to me is a wonderful day, well lived.

I am thinking
I am thinking that it is time to stop being afraid and submit my children's books to several publishers and see what happens. To accept whatever the answer may be and move forward.
Two more weeks before Jim can go back to work; sure hope this will help and he can get through it okay. He has been doing more than sitting today and feels only a little sore. A few steps at a time is what this will take.
Actually it was a nice day to see some of our family. Sure miss those that I don't see, but that is how life is at the present time. They are only a prayer away really. :)
I totally love that Jesus is so close, that He will be there and open our hearts to learning if we but seek Him :)

Being Spiritual Fed
I have found that the things of the world are something always desirous, wanting more of; never satisfied....those things of spiritual goodness, once understood are a complete satisfaction. He lives today!
I may not have control over what others may do; what I do have is a choice of how I challenge myself in dealing with any situation. I choose to move on and go forward, not be left in idle with negative feelings. Not react or in some cases over react; to use my life time more wisely and choose the positive choices.
Death; it comes to each one of us at some point. I cannot dwell on death; when there is so much living to do. When someone you have in your life passes; it is a blessing for them, and a sadness for those left behind it is true. I'd rather remember life with them than worry about what I will do now. Mourning is something I have had a hard time to allow in the past. Not anymore, because when mourning does not happen, it creeps back into your life unexpected and affects your living of life. May all live each day as if it matters. May the blessing of each day be something you learn to recognize.

2009, What a Year!
Looking forward to the last five months; I believe they will be full of growth and changes. Our life may not turn out what we had imagined as a child; but the good part is as an adult we have the control on how we adjust to those roadblocks and detours.
My husband Jim has had one big test of faith this year. He had to have neck surgery to fuse the fifth and sixth disk together. The surgery went great, it is the recovery that is the trial. He has up to a year to fully recover, that is a long time.
When one looks back on life; to fully know that your repentance has been forgiven; is in the fact you have no regret for past choices and mistakes. I am still moving forward to that day when regret is just a word in the dictionary and not a part of my life.
