Hey guys...hope all is well for y'all...The rains finally came and green returned to the yard..now cooler weather and changing leaves are slowly coming in and it is glorious...I love Fall...it makes you feel alive and opens the door to the holidays and all that family time and memory making days...it also has a strange way of making you rethink your things in your life...makes you realize how fast time has truly went by...
This last year I hugged my oldest son and his family and watched as they drove away to follow their dreams in Montana...I thought my heart would burst and that the tears would never stop..but it didn't burst and the tears were replaced with joy with each call I got and each door I saw God open for them...I didn't move to the country but I did get a baby chick to raise and he turned out to be the sweetest Rhode Island Red rooster you ever saw and I got a beautiful mama hen that I love and the two of them live in my backyard and make me smile and laugh everyday...I also stopped decorating so much in the house..I love my house no matter where I put things and I will always play when I feel like it but it no longer is on the front page of my to do list...
I also deleted all other posts from the blog..it was becoming a weight that I no longer wish to be tied to..I am thankful for all the memories and love this blog has brought me and I will keep it on..but I feel a pulling to go a different direction in life now..we all have chapters in our book of life and this chapter has been good to me but I have turned a page and realized I am now at a new chapter in my life..I turned 60 this yr...somehow you still see yourself as being the way you were 20 yrs ago..until you look in the mirror...lol The most important thing in my life next to God is my family...we are all still well and I am seeing God do some amazing things for them..I have always prayed that God give them a double portion of all the blessings and miracles He has given me...I am so mercifully blessed to still have mama & daddy and they are as funny as ever..I am at a time in my life when I feel such peace and calmness...it is as if I have been given a rest period..I have always been a 'fixer'...always praying for my babies more than I ever prayed for myself..always doing all I could to help others and always burning the midnight oil thinking of my people..I have seen God move more than most people will ever see in a lifetime..I thank God for this wonderful life He has given me..I could not have ask for more and I look forward to seeing the rest of the story that I know He has for me...
I pray for love and mercy for each and everyone of you...may each passing day bring you closer to miracle God has for you...may this day be the day you finally let go and feel faith arise in you like a bubbling spring bursting forth from the ground...from this day forth may you walk in a path that is lighted so bright knowing in whom you believe and knowing that He is well able to see you thru this life...don't ever rely on what you see or hear..but stand on His word....and when like Moses you have done all you know to do and all He has ask of you and now you stand at the Red Sea with the enemy coming toward you...stand....and watch God move...live your life in such a way that at the end of the day you can say 'it is well with my soul' and when your time on this earth is over you can say it has been a great ride and you'll see them in the next life to your loved ones as you raise your hands to heaven....God Bless each of you and never give up...you hear me? Never give up...live...live with all your might and love with all your heart....Picket
