Friday couldn’t get here fast enough. A chance to renew and try once again for a week better than the last. This one is one one of worst ever in my life. Two deaths , one of those being my daughter’s un-born child. I’ve spent most of the week on my knees, which is where I need to be more often. Completely broken. Sometimes it takes the worst of situations to bring us to a point of total submission. Today has been awesome, God is almighty,and we have felt His presence drying tears , just loving, bringing comfort. I have come to grips with the fact that this was His child not our own,and He does what is best in every given situation. My daughter feels the same way, she is a trooper. The fact that so many would do anything to be a parent,and we have parents that intentionally hurt their children every day. I’ve heard so many testimonies from people who are survivors of such abuse,it’s just non comprehensible! Tonight every one is out eating or working and I have the house to myself!! I’ve been cooking for some of those experiencing some tough times (chicken and noodles) to be delivered tomorrow. Beggar’s for the Poor are going to have to wait a minuet.My family is in need of some extra tender loving care this weekend. “Friday Night Lights” is on tonight, I love this show. I woke up with a sore throat and sniffles so I’m claiming the couch and a warm fuzzy blanker ,my Bible,and some Nyquil.  Enjoy a great night, I will blog some greatness tomorrow. Remember….. God is Good Always,  LUVS and HUGS ,,Rebecca  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Dreams of  Jesus holding this sweet little baby.Nightie Nightz!!!!!!!!!!  Muah*****

Hi blog angels, today a little better than yesterday.Yesterday started out great and then went down hill fast. Today it started out ok, and got better slowly but surely. Dr. appt. next wk. I want to throw this medication out,and try this on my own with exercise and meditation and tons of prayer. I haven’t been keeping up with my normal exercise and I think this change has had a huge impact. So, I’m good. Hope you all are well,and your day was rewarding,and you got a chance to make a difference some where in life. The best days are the ones where you can make someone smile or make their day a little bit brighter some how. A friend of mine who just lost her Dad this week,made me a big pan of vegetable soup and it was here today when I got home from work! I should be the one cooking for her family. She is so thoughtful and sweet. I think she is hurting and trying her best to keep busy,bless her heart. I will be cooking this wk.end for her family and my next door neighbor’s family,they lost a son last week. No parent should out live their children. They are so broken. They are gonna be fine because of a tremendous faith. Knowing they will meet again is so encouraging,so this weekend the kitchen is Open!  Ton’s of chicken and noodles!!! Better come. Yum! Oh,  Speaking  of chicken, never mind.  I really wanted to go see my favorite band play tonight,but couldn’t get there fast enough.  About 2 hrs. away, my heart was there anyway. I just couldn’t get there before it was over. Next time maybe. I needed to be in church tonight, but there’s drama going on at home,and my mind is shot. Needing some good rest to make it through the rest of the week. the 27th I guess we will hear a lot of news, some sad,some great.Well I need to go, I have a radio station or 2 to call,and clothes to iron for tomorrow.

Good evening blog folk, Another alright day, and am I ever grateful. I suffer with depression and yesterday I could feel myself starting to slip again. I thought to myself, oh please Lord not again. I made it a great day today refusing to give in, staying so busy I couldn’t think. Medication has been a blessing in treating this debilitating illness,but sometimes still ,out of no where, it shows up unexpected. Blows my mind! I have so much to be thankful for which out weighs the pain of  the down times. We are living in such a dark and depressed world right now. I look around and see it on the faces of strangers every day. I cling to my Bible like a child clinging to it’s mother.I have heard people say they used to suffer with depression. How does someone used to have depression? Do you just pray it away,does God take it away? I keep praying, and will never stop, but I sometimes wonder if God doesn’t allow this to vanish so I can better understand what it feels like. I’m really not sure. But I just take one day at a time and blanket myself in His word. Maybe someday it will just go away. I know there is no depression in heaven, hopefully someday I will witness that. We have had a sad week, a really good family friend passed away yesterday morning 1:00 AM.. He was ready,he said ” I am ready to die, I just don’t know how”. I actually prayed for God to take him so he wouldn’t suffer any more. He had cancer and had suffered plenty long enough, he died in his sleep that next morning. I watched as he was totally humiliated while being helped into the bath room,he was a man ofdignity and I loved him so much. The pillar of a huge family. Well  now, aren’t I just a breath of fresh air this evening? Sorry ,sometimes it really helps to blog, cheap therapy. You just happen to be on the receiving end of my whining. Tomorrow is gonna be a better day I promise myself this. Maybe I should double up on this medication. One good thing, even when I feel this depression creeping up on me, I still have a heart with so much love in it, I think maybe it’s gonna explode! That’s a huge blessing. It’s not like this for everyone. I’m gonna go and take a long hot bubble bath and relax a little and chill for a while,go to bed early and tomorrow get up happy. Promise.  LUVS and HUGS, Rebecca xoxoxoxoxoxox ~later  kisses

Good Tuesday morning!!! It’s gonna be a great day, I can just feel it in my bones!!! YIPPEE!!  Woke up this morning to Keith Urban singing  loudly!!! Jumped right up and started dancin, jumped a hot shower and I’m sitting here wet and really cold, ready to take this day and live it to the fullest!! There how’s that for an attitude adjustment!! Ye Haw! Singing in the morning is good for your spirit,even if you can’t. I still sing, I know I’m not as bad as everyone tells me I am,they just don’t know raw talent when they hear it. The dog’s seem to like it. Seriously, I wish I could but honestly I need someone to teach me. Maybe that’s why love music so much.Something that you know you just can’t ever accomplish; sorta like knowing you can’t have something you want makes you want it sooooooooooooooo bad. Well, I know what I can have and that’s a bowl of  cereal, so it’s off to the kitchen to have some. Have a splendid day, make it the best day ever. K? K.

What up bloggers, just had to delete my Sunday evening temper tantrum. It showed lack of faith on my part, along with selfishness. I sometimes forget I am not in charge and need to step aside and let God take care of things,He always does. Sometimes I let emotions get the best of me. I’m over it!!  So the day turned out ok, I prayed on the parking lot before I went in to work this morning and just thanked God for all the blessings He continues to give. One guy stopped and asked if I was praying for Spring! I told him no but I could if he wanted me to, he just laughed and kept walking.  One of my daughters is going to Chicago this wk end,to audition for a show called America’s Got Talent,she sings. Talk about praying, a 19 year old in downtown Chicago?YIKES! She is taking a girlfriend and a boyfriend with her so it’s not like she will be alone.God will be in the middle of this too. I just love the dickens out of her,and her friends they are some great kids! Well, it’s Monday and the clan is here for their spaghetti and brownies. I’m gonna slip out of here and eat and then go hide for a while and read and get cozy in my room. Make it a good evening, enjoy, relax, and pray a little. LUVS and HUGS,  Rebecca  xoxoxoxoxoxo smile and dreamz really big. ~ Later:0

Mornin, went to bed  last night with my Bible, still a little sad, no, actually just ticked off. This day has to get better, I have 100 people to greet today/ with a Jesus welcome. I know there is more to come,and I don’t worry because I am certain. I’ve been praying like a soldier and reading my Bible for strength and wisdom to understand His reasoning.I know I’m not suppose to ask Why. He will make one’s path straight,but for now I’m sitting in front of the Cross,the only place where I know the ground it level. Have a great day. LUVS and HUGS,      Rebecca  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox God is good all the time, and is in full control.

Good mornin blog angels, Church was amazing, music was the best ever! What do ya do when you visit a church and love it. We have members of the same church for about 18 years. We visited a different church for the 2nd or 3rd time today and I really, really, really, like it. It’s a  much longer drive by about 25 min. or so,with our home church being about 7 min. from our home. Confused on what to do,but can feel God’s hand at work. I guess I will pray about it for a while and then make a decision. Huge decision when we have been at the same place for so long, it kinda feels like a marriage. If you have a few minuets  would you please add me to your prayer list? Ask God to lead ,and for me to listen. Here’s a little something I received from a family member this morning.

Last Friday I was going through the Indianapolis Airport. People in the Security Check line were grumbling about what nonsense the process was, blah, blah, blah. An elderly lady (in a different line) was struggling with her luggage, pocketbook,etc……She was also confused about what to do, how to do it, couldn’t get her shoes off (and a host of other things). The Security Officials weren’t helping the situation either (they can be mighty callous at times).I started to move her direction, but before I could get out of the line I was in,a gentleman (close by)sat down all of his stuff and began to help the lady. I thought he looked familiar, but it didn’t register; it was fascinating to see him come to her aid ( nobody else was making a move to help). He was talking to her, makin conversation, helping her untie her shoes, putting her things in one of those bins, and making sure she was AT EASE. He helped her through the screening gate, then calmly put his thing s on the belt,went through it and immediately began to help the lady put her shoes back on, gather her belongings, ect.

In the meantime she had reached in her purse to show him pictures of her family. He made a big fuss over the photos, then asked for a wheelchair so he could get her to her gate. Honestly, it was a “Hallmark” script. They disappeared down the concourse together…he was pushing the wheelchair and she was jabbering with him. It made me smile…alot. NOW  HERE’S THE KICKER: I got through security and went to get something to drink. Just beyond the little restaurant was a group of people gathered, all excited,shaking hands, etc., and in the center of them was THE KIND GENTLEMAN. Guess who it was? TONY DUNGY,the recently retired coach of the Indianapolis Colt’s! I looked at his hand and, SURE ‘NUFFthere was the HUGE diamond SUPER BOWL ring.

The point: the elderly lady didn’t know who he was, or care WHO HE IS, or would even have known had she been told. HE DID THE RIGHT THING FOR THE RIGHT REASON.Important people serve others with a sense of purpose. These kinds of things are still THE BEST LESSONS EVER. Thanks for letting me share it. Aunt Dorris

So this was on my E-mail this morning and I wanted to share it on. Great man, living to be UN-COMMON.  Thinking about how we have all been blessed having had Coach Dungy to show us THE WALK. Have a great day loved ones, and I’ll blog ya later. K? K. I feel so blessed having worshiped with  fine people this morning!! Only wish I could do this every Sunday morning!! YIPPEE!! KISSES,    Rebecca xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  MUAH!!

Ok I just about have this laundry DONE!! Whooppee! I can see the bottom of the last basket! All ready for another week or 2 or 10! it’s hard to get every thing done, I’m not home much,and when I am I sure don’t want to be in the laundry room!! TOO busy lovin family and friends, my favorite pass time in the whole world!! So tomorrow is Sunday,my favorite day of the week. We are going to Traders Point Christian Church in the morning instead of our own church. Nice, nice church full of life. We love our church too but sometimes it’s nice to visit other places.Sometimes I feel God pulling me in different directions,and I sometimes wonder if He wants me somewhere else. I’m ok with that,but I can’t imagine worshiping without my family there right beside me. I really felt like He was very much alive in this place today. I’m not saying he isn’t alive everywhere because He is,I’m saying I could feel His heart beating,and a very strong presence. They are having special, special ,guests there tomorrow,so what better time to visit.OK. so. I need to go jump in bed or I will be a bearz! grrrzzzz!  LUVS and HUGS, Rebecca  xoxoxxoxoxox  Dreams of  sweetness, xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo  ~later

Good afternoon blog people, just came in from an amazing morning of  inspirational speakers and authors! Traders Point Christian Church had Tony Dungy,Stephen Arterburn,Bill Dallas, Bill Butterworth and Connersvine!! All under one roof! It was awesome! We stayed afterward to have Mr. Dungy sign his new book Uncommon,and his childrens book he has out but the line was about 500 deep. We waited 45 min. in a line that wasn’t moving so we finally gave up because he had to leave at 2:30 for another book signing. Oh well, I’m just thrilled to have the books. Maybe another time we can have them signed. Connersvine is leading chuch tomorrow morning at the same church, I really want to go, we will see. I know there had to be 5000 people there today. I’m glad the wheather didn’t get too bad for the fun today! Blessings!! I was totally wowzed!!!!!  I’m praying for everyone as I do everyday several times, calm, peace, decisions, wisdom. Bodies free from anxiety and for God to give us His peace and His truth.I need to go,laundry out the wazoo and I may never get it done! Yikes!  LUVS and HUGS and KISSES,  Rebecca xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox~ later   xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo and lots of surprises! 

Good Friday morning, it’s way too early to be blogging , just waiting on the coffee,but I need to say…. take a day to look around you and see all the good things in life! Count your blessings,how long has it been? I mean, since we have had time to praise God for all we do have? The media has a way of pulling us down,telling us how bad things are,well….. the economy is troubled,but the economy doesn’t control me, own me, satisfy me, love me, feed me in any way. Jesus, however does!!!! He rules,   not this saddened economy. Gather round family… pray, laugh, play, talk, talk, talk, love each other!! Some of the greatest pleasures in life are FREE!!!!! Enjoy one another and bask in His sunshine!! Thank you Jesus, (our )economy is just fine.LUVS and HUGS,  Rebecca    xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo    ~later
