Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

O taste and see that the Lord is good. How He immensly blessed our household this christmas. Thank you Jesus for your blessings and all the people who have in one way or another touched our lives this christmas.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

So each of the kids got a Hershey Kiss candy cane in their stocking. He picked his up and I'm not sure that he ever put it back down. I could have saved a lot of money by just giving him Hershey Kisses. That was definitely his favorite present.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Wait, what? The Hershey kisses are still being eaten.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Ryane's initial response to getting her new phone was to scream and cover her face.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

The thought of running out of Hershey Kisses made him look like this. Note the chocolate around his mouth. He ate nothing but Kisses for about 2 hours.

Gracie with her new guitar. She was extremely disheartened when she picked is up and couldn't just PLAY.

Click on the picture so you can get a close up of what Micah's trucks are hauling around...yep that's right Hershey Kisses. And who is standing there beside him? Waiting? Yep that's right...Tucker.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Micah with his new guns, scary

sight huh? Is this foreshadowing?

He actually just asked for the gunbelt

but it all came in a set.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

No thank you honey, mommy doesn't want anymore Hershey kisses.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Ahh, the aftermath. I didn't see my living room for about 12 more hours.

2009 New Beginnings...New Me

Before and After

This now is a time of reflection for me. Losing all of that hair

in my own weird way is losing a lot of baggage from the past

several years of my life. I look forward to what God has in

store for me and my life in 2009.

Worst Conversation I can think of...

The following conversation took place over the phone between a father and mother who are separated. The kids live with mom.

Father: Hey, I was looking at this list of toys you gave me that son would like for christmas.

Mother: Yeah and?

Father: What is a Brobee? I don't have a clue what this is.

Mother: Oh. It's a green guy from the show Yo Gabba Gabba. Son likes it.

Father: Oh well I didn't know. That kind of stuff is never on my tv so I don't know anything about it.

Now, is it just me or shouldn't a good father know what his 2 year old son is watching on tv?

Thank you's

Thank you Jesus:

1. For giving your life for mine.
2. For a wonderful peaceful christmas day.
3. For my children
4. For an ubundant christmas for my children.
5. For your NEVER failing, undying love for me.
6. For the emotional roller coaster I've been on since Christmas day that brings me back to you.
7. For ALWAYS being honest with me no matter how much I don't want to hear it.
8. For REAL friends.
9. For giving me the opportunity to minister to others through my own pain.

Thank you Jesus for being you.

Guess Who's Back???

Praise the Lord and Thank you Jesus!!! I am back online. My computer is home from the computer doctor thanks to a very wonderful friend on mine.

Shout out to Bebas! Time is non existant in our friendship. Been friends for over 10 years now and feels like just yesterday we were working in the worlds worst daycare (haha) planning a trip to Kings Island with our crew, which was much smaller at the time. Can't wait to see you again. Thanks again lady!

Another friend of mine???...much thanks to Jesus for HIS perfect love and care. I am learning through much heart ache and time that Jesus is the only perfect man. Jesus will never cheat, never lie, never hurt. Jesus will always love, always care, always provide. Jesus loves me even though I make mistakes, He is my father. Jesus wraps His arms around me when I am crying, He is my comforter. Jesus is the only man I need. I love you Lord!

Oh and just in case any of you questioned God's mathmatics...it doesn't make any sense to us but it works. He turned $25 into $250 in less than 24 hours. I don't know how He does it, I don't care how He does it. The fact is HE DOES IT, and He does it for me. Thank you Jesus for your amazing blessings that I am experiencing left and right.
