Truly Blessed!!!

Lately thing financially have been really ruff on us and when I feel real down and a lil depressed which is often I have been looking towards God and praying to him to help, provide and just show me the way. And this weekend he showed me that he is really listening which I already knew he was but it is always nice to see that he is. This last weekend after David's paycheck was truly the hardest times we have seen in a long time. This weekend after talking to David's sister about our situation she called on Saturday when she was at the Walmart close to our house and and she wanted to stop by. David and I thought for sure she was being her kind self and was going to bring over a gift card like $25 or something to help with groceries well to our surprise she shows up with a card and it contained a $100 GC to walmart and a check for $200 she was truly our angel sent from God! This could not come at a better time. The GC was greatly needed for groceries and the money is helping me pay a few bill that I didn't think I was going to be able to pay this week again. Sometime when things get hard you just have to put your trust and your faith in God and know that he will provide and he will!

Reenlisting???

Well I got a phone call this morning from my husband and he is talking once again on reenlisting into the military. He said with the economy no days and seeing all these people getting laid off left and right and the hours that have been cut at his current job is having him feel that reenlisting might be good for us. Me I have so many mixed feeling on this matter. On the plus side it would be a guaranteed job and housing which are big things and I would be able to spend more time with the kids. On the negative side we would have to leave so much. From family and friends to my job that I truly enjoy! My nerves are a little twisted right now so I don't know what I feel. But he first would have to go talk to the military and see what he has to do before that would take him like loosing weight and so on. He has to reenlist by Feb 2010 for him to go in as the rank that he got out as and to avoid basic training. So that is whats going on as of today. Please keep my family and I in your prayers and I know that God will direct us in the path that we are supposed to take!

God Bless!!

A bit of sadness.....

Well I just read my best friends blog this morning and I have a small since of sadness. She is leaving to go back to Germany tomorrow. I am happy that she is off to her own home and to take care of her family with out all the craziness that she has been going threw but also feel a little sad cause she wont be so close. We haven't got to see each other while she is in the states like I would have liked but I guess just the since of closeness was there. I guess it is a lil hard not knowing when I will see her and her family again but that is how the military life is and I know that. I am so glad that we are as close as we are that we can not see each other but still talk everyday as if we seen each other yesterday. It is amazing that God put people like that in your life that are so special and close to your heart. Ash if you are reading this I love you and thank God all the time and he brought us together as sisters in our hearts. OK enough of this emotional stuff...LOL

MEN.....Grrrr

So I know that people make mistakes but sometimes when you have told the person more times then you can count to watch how they drive you just want to smack them when something finally goes wrong. My lovely husband who drives like a crazy person sometime was driving to fast once again and slammed into a curb and popped his tire! Well needless to say it is not fixable so we have to replace that one plus one other so things are even. I just wanted to scream last night cause we are so tight right now we cant even pay the medical bills that I have from having Lucas let alone another extra expense. We at times are even having a hard time going to the Groc Store. Neither one of us do anything so there is not much extra money spend on stupid things. All I can say is I am counting the days tell we get our darn taxes so we can pay these darn Medical Bills off!!! All I can say is I cant wait to get my part time business so we are not struggling so much!

New Found Faith

Things lately with the way I lead my life have changed so much. My best friend has had one of a mother worst fears happen to her. She lost her lil girl and for that I have had my own blessing. Sometimes there is that guilt there for me finding blessing is such a horrible thing! When I think about it I have to tell myself that things happen for many reasons and one thing that happened from us loosing sweet little Angel Ari is that I have a new found faith is the Lord. I have felt him start working in me and my life. I found a church here in Omaha and am going to start taking my son to there Sunday school and start classes there myself. I have ordered my bible and have also started ready bible stories to my son before I put him to bed at night. With the stories we also say a lil prayer before I kiss him goodnight. The first time we said a prayer together it was very simple and for a 5 year old but after I shut his door I just felt this incredibly big smile come over my face and heart! I know that I am doing to right thing for me and my son, bring both of us to start a relationship with God. I also asked my husband the other night what his thoughts were about religion. I know sometimes it can be a touchy subject but I just sat back and listened to what he had to say. Of course if you know my husband at all he had to start off with make a joke that of course he believes in God cause he is God...haha, but then he become serious and he told me he does believe in God but doesn't think that you have to go to church to believe in him. He has the impression that church is boring and that is what had turned him off from it for so long. With that I asked him if he would be willing to give this church a try and see what he thinks. I am so blessed to have a husband that will give it a try and that right now is all I ask. I am going to a Nazarene church and to be it is so not boring. The music is moving and the Pastor has a since or humor but is also series about the word of God. So I hope this weekend we can all go to church as a family and hope this is something that we can share together.

A New Day

Well today is a new day and we all are either happy about the election yesterday or a little shocked. Myself a little shocked but i will support our new Elected President Obama. I will stand by more morals and my beliefs but will also be a true American and stand behind my President and pray that things work out for the best. As one of my friends said we just have to continue everyday supporting our own values.

Now with that being said I am so glad that the election is over. It is hard to see and listen to all of this everyday. The mud slinging and listening to people rant about things they really don't know anything about. I am just glad that is a new day and we can all move on and continue to be the best people we can be!
