What 2009 has taught me.......

This has been one of the most empowering year of my life!! I've been moving along a road that was rough, bumpy, sometimes smooth, sometimes felt like I was about to go over a cliff! It basically was the road from my heart to God.

In Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him,so that your Father in Heaven may forgive you your sins.

I've spent time in forgiveness. I have prayed and let things go. In return God has blessed me in many ways. I bought a bible , It's a one year bible, I think it's one of the best investments I've ever bought myself!Every night I read my daily readings. I've learned many things through doing this. I still have lots to learn,but having God back in my life has done amazing things to heal my heart.In one year I'll have read the Bible cover to cover...which is GREAT! And then I'll do it again and again.

I'm reading a book by Charles Stanley, "Success God's way" It's a amazing book! One thing I've learned was to be Successful in this book is that you have to start your day with praying...What do you want me to do for YOU today GOD? Doesn't sound like much huh? But when applying it in my daily life It means LOTS! And it works!
I'm learning the MONEY isn't the way to feel fulfilled. That worrying about how much money you'll make in a year is what makes you important. Money will not bring one happiness! One should not always think how can I have more money.If people do that then maybe they should turn their thoughts to ..How can I have more of GOD.

Deciding to go to church was also a good thing that I started doing in 2009. I have found there are many people struggling with issue's that I was struggling with. I found hey I"m not alone! So I started attending church regularly.Now I look forward to Sunday Mornings, I love going to a place where God is present! I've made some very good friends.

Romans 8:31 "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us" You are a winner, you are victorious through the Lord Jesus Christ. Begin to see yourself the way God sees you.

That was a big one for me to learn, I felt because of all my worldly screw ups I wasn't worth much, But I am a winner cause God is on MY side!

I have many friends from all walks of life, I appreciate all of them, they help me balance my life, and are in my life for a reason. I felt like sharing my thoughts with you cause I know you would want what is best for me. I believe that you care.

I wish for you in 2010 the best!

I know God will make 2010 for me ... AMAZING!!

Christmas ..so soon!

I"m sitting here thinking where has the year gone! Crazy how the time goes so fast. I've been busy this past week with work. That's been a good thing for me. I"ve needed it!

I'm working with a awesome woman , and its making my job very enjoyable. I"m learning that life is not as bad as you always want to think it is. I"m learning that we should be grateful , especially if we are gifted with good health! I guess sometimes we just need to sit down and say GOD has really BLESSED ME.

I've done my Christmas shopping, I didn't go nuts this year on the grand kids like I usually do, but money was tight so I did what I could and I'm happy its done. My stepson I gave early, I paid for his Driver's ed classes. So after buying for my grown kids , grand babies and there is 5 of them!! Plus Anthony... I"M DONE!

The weather has been cold ,Sad to say I think I"m getting used to it!! But this week I've been in and out so much , its not as bad as it was in the beginning of the week. Hoping for a heat wave soon though ....lol

Christmas will be kinda quiet this year, Not doing nothing Christmas day, hopefully I will be able to sleep in, I"m on call over the holidays so we will see. On boxing day I"ll make the turkey dinner , we are having friends over , so at least it will be worth making and visiting , and its not like cook for hours , people wolf it down and run to basement and then you get a hour to clean up. So it will be nice having some friends over.

Going home to mom's after the holidays. It's just easier that way. I'm glad my family doesn't mind doing our family gathering later cause when everyone wants the same days it just doesn't work out.

Looking forward to having Christmas with my son and his family. I miss them , and look forward to the time spent playing with the kids.

Enough for now ... hugs and stay warm !

Another Grandchild to love.

On November 19th I went home to meet my newest grand baby, Her name is Kimberly Jolene. She weighed in at 7 pounds 11 oz and 20 inches long. She is so cute!!! Her sister Nevada was born with a lot more hair than Kimberly has but she has a head full of hair also. Brother Brayden is very proud to have another sister. So I'll post some pictures of these awesome grand kids of mine!!

I was going to post a picture of mommy with baby but those hospital gowns do nothing for the looks department so I spared her the shame ...lol

Tonight I'm heading over to the Personal Care Home Christmas dinner, I'm Mary's guest. Mary is a dear friend of mine. She's fun to be around and at 98 years of age still has a awesome sense of humor!!! We will have fun tonight with each other, Her children live outside the province and are unable to attend this event.

Not much else has been happening lately, Been doing a lot of walking and am noticing that its paying off :)

Will post more news at a later date.
