Summertime
May 27th, 2011Hello Everyone!
It’s been quite a while since the last time I blogged so let me catch you all up on some things….
I am about 2 weeks away from giving birth to my new son. I am so excited and ready for him to arrive. My husband and our girls are excited to have a little boy coming into the family. He isn’t actually due for another 5 weeks but I am sure he will be arriving in the next two weeks. We have everything ready at home for his arrival and cannot wait to meet the little man!!!
I have done some amazing speaking engagements this year. One in particular was in Indiana. Let me just say it was a totally awesome experience. My husband was able to come along (which he does’nt do often) and we had the best time together. We were blessed to meet an amazing couple who showed us so much hospitality and we can now call them friends. The church was amazing also. I had not spoken in a few month and when that happens sometimes I feel a litttle nervous BUT as God always does He reminded me that He was in control and that I was not there for any other reason but to be His vessel and tell the story of grace that He has bestowed upon my life. I am always grateful when I think of just what He did for me. Not only did He give His life for me on the cross many years ago and give me the opportunity to spend eternity with Him, He gave me a second chance on earth to be a God-fearing Christian woman, a daughter my parents could be proud of, a mother to an amazing daughter and step-daughter (and soon to be son), a wife to a man whom is the smartest man I know, a sister to some special siblings and the list goes on. It’s so great to be full of grace, God’s grace that is sufficent and nothing else is neeeded.
I had a realization just a few weeks ago that I now have a middle schooler!! Lord help me!!! :) My first born angel “graduated” from elementary school and as I listen to all her achievements for the year, I began to cry as I realized that if it were not for Christ having HIS plan for my life, I may not be witnessing what was before me. She is such a smart, sweet, special young lady and I am so blessed to still be in her life as her Mommy…well I guess now I am MOM!
I am still working at the hospital taking xrays. It has been a little difficult with me being pregnant because I have to take special precautions for the baby and for myself but I still enjoy my job very much. I am glad to finally be in a career where I enjoy getting up and going to work. It is very rewarding to know that I am able to help someone in need everytime I step foot in that hospital. I guess that’s why I enjoy speaking so much as well because I am able to help someone in need through the power of Jesus Christ.
So as you can tell many things are chaging in our little life. Kids are growing up, new ones are joining the family and life moves forward. We have been through challenging times and continue to go through them but God never promised our life would be easy or without challenges. We have peaks where we praise Him and give Him glory and we have vallies where we also praise Him and try to follow His lead. If there is one thing I have learned in the last few years, It is that God isn’t my co-pilot…He’s my pilot. He is my Rock and He is my Help in need. His doesn’t need my help, He needs my obedience.
Thanks for visiting the site today, I hope if you are interested in having me speak you will email me and we can work out the details. If you’d like to order a book, please follow the instructions on the order page. And…BOLO (that means Be On the Look Out) for the movie based on my story of how God used as a vessel, a lonely, drug addicted, widowed Mom to help end tradegy in a community but more importantly He put the pieces of a broken life back together and made something beautiful of it…More details to follow!!!!
