The Last Three Weeks

I guess I'm writing today, just to catch everyone up on us. I worked at the church all week last week and put in 36 hours. Whew Hoo! Good paycheck coming. Norman and the guys are working in Cedar Hill on a nice size job and that is good. We got the medical release from the Texas Department of Public Safety and he gets to keep his driver's license. Yeah Buddy!

I'm updating my resume, signed up for a online job opportunity, but still looking for something that will help us to make more ends meet! Haha! We've been living in this trailer for almost a year now, sad thing is based on the shape the trailer is in, we won't renew our lease so I'm off looking for a place to move. I want to find some place permanent. I'm not sure that is possible based on income at this point, but we are praying. (SO if I pray for a place rent free for one year, do you think God will answer????) I haven't had time to write or do a lot of work on my websites. I know that I can make some money from them, just need to get more hours in the day. We had a wonderful Easter service at our church. The church had a marketplace set up and we dressed as characters starting on Palm Sunday.That is the picture at the top. My husband is standing beside the Roman Soldier. May God Bless you all!..

Just Life

Okay, I turned 48 on Monday and today, we are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. Life is good. We have a good church home, a place to live, food to eat, and currently we have work. Life is good, but God is Great!

I've had a sinus infection and ear infection since Saturday, and I'm finally feeling better. God is Awesome! My husband and I are planning on singing at church. We've picked out 4 songs and have been listening to all of them. The members at church, (by the way we go to Emory Baptist Church www.emorybaptist.org ) have been trying to get my husband, Norman, to join the choir. He does have a wonderful voice and sings harmony quite well. I'm still a little frightened about singing, but only because without someone to sing along with me, I can't keep the tune, unless it is in a bucket.

We will probably be moving in the next couple of months. We are praying that God will allow us to move back to my house in the orchard. I just want things to be simple again. I think they are on the way, and I'm praying that God will continue to show us signs that we are headed the right way.

Be Blessed! God is Awesome!

Love to all,

If you find my mind

Could you send it back? I seem to have lost it somewhere along the way today or maybe it was yesterday. I've called it and called it and it refuses to come home. Its not a bad mind, but it has been having some wild and crazy thoughts lately.

If it will come home and try to be sane, I promise not to make it work too hard or think too much.. Or at least I will try. It constantly runs it seems... It no longer walks, or sleeps or anything, but run rampant.

But I do need it back, so if you see it, please send it home.

Lemonade Outta Lemons

So I've heard this phrase a 1000 times, and here are my questions: Which lemons do you use? No all kidding aside, Life does throw us lemons from time to time, and we all try to make the best of a bad situation, but sometimes, it is very hard to decide which one lemon we use first. The economy is bad all around, and if it is getting better I want someone to show me where, because that is where I need to go live.





Being a general contractor is not the best job to have in a world when the economy is horrible. Being a general contractor when the weather won't cooperate is horrible. Neither of which we have any control over, and hope and pray from day to day that things will get better.



So how do you decide which lemon to use first? And in my case, I don't really like lemonade and with all the lemons I've gotten lately, I don't want to drink that much lemonade. Any one want a glass?

P.S. Okay I don't really know where I was going with this, but hey, I couldn't just delete it!

May God Bless You, L
