A Letter from God to Women

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.
I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone, I shaped you.... I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man , his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl. You will or have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes......don't change them. Your lips-how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands so gentle to touch
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.
Send this to all of the wonderful women you know to bless their day. Your sisters, your mother, your daughters, and the ladies you work with everyday, even your online female friends.
And send this to all the men in your life, that they can realize the gift God has given them
Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to GOD
*Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality*

This is the Day that the Lord hath made!

Good mornin to ya,

I am up and all is veryyyy quiet around here as it is only 5:48 AM.. I wanted to have a moment to read some scriptures and pray and meditate on it... That is a luxery that I rarely have as there are so many of us here..... With great excitment, anticipation, reservation, desperation, we have started to pack and sent out our first shipment yesterday... lol.. sent a box that weighed 104 lbs.. rofl I told steve that our friends are going to break their backs trying to get it into their garage untill we can get there.. Steve was chuckling at me at what I packed into the FIRST box.. I made sure alot of my scrapbooking stuf was in there, clothes, some of the girls barbies, and my PURSES!!!!!!!!!!! lol.. when I went carrying a few of them out to put in the box he said I KNEW IT I KNEW ITT!! I knewwww that would be one of the things that HAD To go and you just COULD not live without.. rofl.. I said OF COURSE BABE!!! He was just teasing me of course but I thought it was funny....lol... So I got much accomplished yesterday and with much stress about IS THIS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN?? and WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY??? And WILL WE REALLY MAKE IT THROUGH THIS TRANSITION with our minds intact????.. rofl.. We are planning to pull out of AZ on AUGEST 5th... and are you ready for this??? WITH NO MOVING TRUCK OR TRAILER>. ROFL.. YES YOU READ IT RIGHT... hahaha.. we are shipping what we did bring with us back first so we can just hop in the car and BE GONE..lol.. WOW I can not believe we are FINALLY going back.... sure did not expect to stay this long but I do not regret it one bit as many GOOD memories were made and we were with Grandma during this most difficult time of loosing Grandpa... We got MUCH accomplished and yet there is so much more that needs to be done..... We rented a cute little house and are just so excited about getting it all fixed up.. I have included the pic that my friend took of it... So PLEASE Pray for us as we prepare to GO.. One more GREAT thing is we will be in the same STATE as our friends that just moved ( however will still be a 4-5 hour drive) So instead of just a FEW hours visit be an all night er visit..lol.. The girls are REALLY excited about the thought of that let me tell ya!!!! Does help to know they are closer than what they are now :):) I am going to miss my family and friends dearly but THE ROAD GOES BOTH WAYS and Y'all are always welcome!!! I'll leave the light on..ROFL.. I think there are already plans of my family coming back for Christmas. I HOPE that would be awesome!!!!

So I hope this finds you having a BLESSED LORDS DAY.. This will be our fist Sunday back since D&T moved... but I am OK with it now..lol and I am trusting we are going to have good services today!!

Hmmm

Ok so there is just to much going on right now for me to blog.... EVERYTHING has changed and I am just not sure how I feel about it.. When did I get old?? I use to THRIVE on change... now I am going along with my knees locked and my feet leaving miles and miles of skid marks behind me it seems now days... I am working alot but im not... I go to work than I get sent home because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SICK PEOPLE>. now how do I stay a christian and pray for the downfall of others??? ACKKKK..... So much to my dismay I get sent home at 2am this morning and now I am sitting here TRYING not to stress and we have MORE changes coming up in this next month and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.... Didn't make it to church today not sure if it would been good to have gone or not... not having a pastor is kinda weird... than I cannt LAND at the place where I usually would when feeling in this mood as THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GONE...lol.. ( I am glad you made is safe and sound D&T) OK so this is a depressing blog and I am sorry but ya know I refuse to PRETEND my life is perfect every single day like some do because well I'M HUMAN and I don't like to PRETEND.. it is or it isn't PERIOD... so life has thrown me a few lemons of late and I'M in the process of making lemonade out of it... ROFL.. AAACKKKK....

OK so I moaned and complained

Now I will end this on a fantastic note.... PRAISE THE LORD my wonderful talented awesome husband once again SAVED THE DAY with the help from above.. Our AC got fixed in our car and ya we live in AZ we NEEEEED AC trust me.. so that is a HUGE answer to prayer and saved us almost a thousand bucks for him doing it himself.. I have such a great man :) Everyone is healthy, we have a roof over our head, and food on our table, and all the bills are paid.. So I really have no reason to be stressed... I need to leave the rest in the hands of the master... and REMEMBER the PROMISE I pulled this weekend..

"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight."
-Isaiah:45:2
Dear Lord,
My path may be strange:it may be dark.Help me not to fear since you light the way.I can safely follow you.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am still here

Good morning,
LOL It has been pointed out to me that I am SLACKING..lol.. as I am sure you understand I just have not felt much to the blog world and on top of that have been very busy of late. I have many pic's to post and hope to get to that at some point soon. Things are going fairly well we miss Grandpa so much and Grandma just really misses him.. It is so odd to not have him coming in throughout the day in and out it's like you just expect it at anytime... I have been working but not as many hours just my reg 3-4 for now until well we get through the next few weeks I suppose. We are trying to prepare to go to camp in California at the end of this month and I am praying that works out as it would be just such a good thing to be able to do. As the month goes by I am becoming kinda sad as some of our dear friends(family) will be moving to MO and they will be greatly missed... SO alot of changes going on right now and I know GOD has it all under control and so much good will come out of it. I am so excited for you Dan and Tammy :):) Wish we could go with you:):) SO that is all for now. Hope everyone is having a good week and remember Fathers Day is just a few days away so plan something special for that Special MAN in your life :)

Info so far

Many of you have asked when the funeral will be for grandpa. The latest news I have received is the viewing will be Thursday night and the funeral will be Friday @ 11am @ The chapel of the chimes. Now the way I understand it the reason for waiting so long is to ensure everyone from out of town can make it in for the services. As I get more information I will pass it on to everyone... I expect to have more details to give at the beginning of the week. GOD IS SO GOOD.. Grandma went to church by herself this morning and she said that she could feel the presence of the LORD as well as grandpa very close.. I am glad she had that yesterday morning.. The girls and I made it to church last night and heard a message we needed to hear and I feel encouraged to keep going deeper... I was so touched by how close and real GOD was to the girls last night during church. I could hear each of them praying during the service and during the alter service Kelsey was up beside me praying and I just so appreciate that. Kaity said she asked Jesus to please tell her papa she loved him... The heart of a child.....

So continue to keep us all in your prayers and I so appreciate that you already are we do feel it!!!!
