On the road to.......

Well we are finally on the road to being well.. THANK YOU JESUS!! Shew it was a hard few weeks.. and why is it that when your sick the devil fights ya harder?? Am I alone?? Anyway so a great friend invited me to join her in our passion for the blood cursing java drink.. No we don't be drinken that devil stuff Im talken about STARBUCKSSSSS... rofl had ya goin didn't I? rofl.. ANYWAY... Was awesome and much needed and WOW ya was good.. So I have come to realize that things are not always as they seem.. hmmm NOW THATS DEEP.. rofl.. ok so for those of you who do not have FACE BOOK( as if there is any of you left out there) Here are a few pics of some of the goings on around here.. ENJOY!! So now I must get off this thing so I can get my list done and ready for church tomorrow.. Will be nice to go back and see *ma peeps* I will call them the Northeast side Hustla"s for Jesus!! Well here are those pics..lol

Feeling yuck!

We can not seem to shake this nasty stuff.. omgoodness.. least I don't feel alone I know a WHOLEEEE lot of people who are fighting this thing... very nasty and miserable.. I was never so thankful in all my life( well OK that's not true I have been many times) that Steve's days off came when they did.. He gets every Sunday,Monday, and Tuesday off and WOW was it ever nice to have him home to help out.. I am so blessed.. we have just been laying around feeling miserable and hoping and praying this thing leaves as quickly as it came( although its not looking that way) I have been so sick he had to read the Bible to me I couldn't sit up.. Our poor Lil girls are not feeling well either.. Right now Kelsey just has the stomach ache... kaity has what I got ( least the start of it) Shania and her dad seem to be fighting it off better than the rest of us..so lots of rest, fluids, peppermint oil, garlic, vitamin C, Tylenol cold and flue.. ANYTHING that will help we are doing. .hot tea.. you name it.. I have not even been able to go out and have a play day with my new camera and my family yet :( I want to do that so badly.. We are hoping and praying we are well by this weekend as we are planning a Lil family get away.. OK screen is starting to move on me I think that's my Que to go lay back down..lol..

Passing of a Saint

The passing of a saint... Seems alot are going home as of late.. Bro.Jackson was such a Godly man and so full of life .. He had such a caring personality about him.. As as a child I remember just loving to be around him and Sis Jackson both at church and away.. They would often come to our home for get together's and there would be much laughter.. There is something about that scenario that makes a child feel good inside.. know what I mean? I was so sad to hear about his DX several years ago of Alzheimer's.. I thought that was so unfair. here a man of God whom had given so many years of service to have such a horrible fate.. but now I understand that ALL is under Gods control and everything has a Divine plan and not for us to always understand. Such grace Sis Jackson has shown all these years caring and loving her husband even though he did not know whom she was. What a legacy he has left for his children and grandchildren and all that knew him.. Makes one think about our own life and just what are we doing NOW to affect those around us? for the sake of GODS glory and eternity? " I can only imagine" what that reunion in heaven must of been like when he walked through those pearly gates to meet JESUS face to face.. to walk by his side hand in hand and worship HIM the LAMB!! To see all those whom had gone before him( Both of my grandpas, the Lance's, the Height's, the Helton's) and many more.. Your finally at your reward Bro. Jackson. Job well done sir!

I also am excited about the fact that we are making plans to attend IHC this year(April).. Neither of us have been since we were very very young... I reserved our motel last night and was so surprised to find that alot of them have already booked! yikes!!! I wanted the Crown Plaza but noo it was BOOKED.. looked around at a few motels a few miles away but really wanted to be as close as possible to the convention center so we managed to find a suite at the Double Tree which is within walking distance to the center.. Looks like a very nice place hope it is..lol At any rate all things seem to be working out for us to go.. Steve got offered a different schedule to have off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday of every week so working things around to have off the rest of the week should be OK.. So anywaysss I must be getting off of this thing or we wont even get a half a day of anything done...lol.. Have a GREATTTTT weekend everyone!!!
