Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...



It's about learning to dance in the rain.

My inner healing

This is a story that happened to me around 24 years ago. I was newly married and having a lot of trouble with my new life. So my mom in law fixed me up with some ladies in the church who did counseling. I thought it was marriage counseling and I guess it was that and more. So I went and these 2 ladies had me sit and asked me some simple questions about my life and nothing about my marriage , which I thought was strange, but I still answered them. Then they said well we are going to just pray for a minute and so they did. Now I am pentecostal and those of you who have no idea what that is I will tell you what it means. I believe in the bible as a whole truth...nothing has passed away with the apostle's. I am filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. I pray in a heavenly language which I recieved from God after asking for it. So these women started praying in their prayer languges and I just sat there. I started to feel the over whelming urge to cry. I said to them I am going to cry and they said that is ok and that they would cry with me. I did not know why I was crying. I always do when I am worshiping God so I figured it was just that. That his spirit was on the scene. They kept praying and then they started to say what they were hearing from the Lord.
Now this is real heavy so bare with me.
They said I see your father and mother talking about you when you were concieved. My parents already had 4 children my dad had 5. I am the baby. My mom said I can't have anymore so you had better do something. My dad talked to someone and got the big idea to have my mom sit in a tub filled with hot water and take castor oil and this is suppose to abort the baby. So they did. While they were telling me all this I was crying so hard I could barely hear them. The Lord was healing my rejection in my heart. Inner healing has to do with forgiveness. I always loved my parents but had always felt rejected by them but never knew why. They divorced when I was 3 and my granmother raised me. But I loved my mom and dad cause they always did the best they could and were never mean to me. So the ladies lead me thru instances in my life and we would pray forgiveness paryers in each instance. So when they were done I stopped crying and felt like a load of bricks had been released from me. I went home and was a changed person from that day on. I called my sister in Tenn. and told her what had happended. I did not have the guts to talk to my mom about it. I did not want to upset her. But my sister did tell her and my mom said...that had to be God because I never have told anyone about that and it happened just like they said. So I waited a week or so before I called her...and what she said to me was this...when I realized I was goin to have you...meaning the tub did not work...I prayed to God to give me a blonde haired blue eyeed baby. All my brother's and sister's are all brown haired with brown eye's. And yes I was born with blonde hair and blue eye's which turned hazel. This whole inner healing changed my relationship with my mom and me and she gave her life to the LORD. Now people that is an awesome God we serve. I sure hope this little story will help you all know that everything in life is spiritual. We serve an awesome God who know's all things and is concerned with every aspect of our lives.

Don't let me miss the Glory

We went to the Gaither's the other nite and they showed this video by Gordon Mote...he is their piano player and he is blind....made me cry

What is up with men and camera's

.Ok here we are at beautiful seaside and we are walking on the beach and I ask my hubby if he would take a picture of me walking on the beach. He so kindly say's yes. I hand him the camera and he points it at me and did not say a word, so I just started to walk away kind of slow waiting to hear him say ok I got it. Well I never hear anything so I figured I had better stop walking before I walk right into the ocean. I turn around and just stand there looking at him and ask did you get it? He say's nothing just keeps pointing the thing at me and I think well I had better start walking again so I take a few more steps and think to myself a ignoramus could have taken it by now. Well I stopped and turned again and he just lowers the camera and say's he got it. So get ready cause here are the 2 pictures he took. Now don't laugh too hard you might pee your pants.




Ok the first one is where I stopped and asked did you get it and I got no response...obviously he waited for me to turn around to take the picture...me walking away just confused him.

Then he decides to zoom in cause I guess he thought a picture of me walking was just too weird so he gets a close up with no legs. Go fugure. Well I will just have to go back to seaside for another try...Yea only next time I will find someone else to take the pic..

I'm back.....

I've been so stinking busy since I got home from the coast I haven't had time to write. Tommorrow is first day back at work and it is goin to be rough to go back. But been kinda bored so I am glad to be goin back. Had much fun at seaside. I love that place and so does Kelli Jean hua?....I love walking around and no matter what the weather is you are still having fun. I will post more pics later...chow I took this one that last nite there...

Off to seaside

Hey ya'll I'm off for a week to seaside....will post pic's when I return...hope you all have a great week...chow....

oh woe is me...

Yep it's that time of year....for me summer is over...back to school...work...the whole shabang. Oh well the good side of it is I get paid for it...yea. Now trust me you have to be nice to the lunch lady's cause they do have access to knive's. Not that I would ever hurt a child but I do work at the High school so they are really not children just little adults. No all kiddding aside believe it or not I have never had a bad result with any kids in 10 years. I like them maybe that is why they don't bug me. And of course I am giving them food so maybe that is why they like me...hum....I wonder...

Ever had a bad day cause of yur computer....

Thought for the day...

2Pet. 1:3

If you don't have all things that are available thru Christ working in you right now, then you have a knowledge problem.

meaning....In the spirit we already have all things pertaining to Godliness and power in us thru Christ...we just have to renew our minds to be able to get it out of us to work for us...or should I say work thru us.

Think about it

What a talent. I can't even imagine doing this much work on a beach. Nope when I'm on a beach all I can muster up is a good snooze. I love watching the water...it is hypnotizing. Walking in the sand is too much effort. Boy it sounds like I am lazy...but really at the beach I am. I am working on a post that is pretty amazing. It is something that happened to me years ago. It really changed my life. I will post it soon. Tomorrow I am goin to my brother's house to help him with his new toy. He is restoring an old ford 77 truck. He has got some talent in that area...I will post some pics when he is done. Ok guy's talk at cha later.....

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

The redhead...

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you,' she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by
drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.
'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?'
'No,' she replies. . .
She says:
'You just happened to catch my eye.'
