I am way behind on this blog....

Well it seems to me like UPDATE BLOG must go onto my calendar one day a week, or it appears it will not get done, so my apologies in advance!  2011 has been one of the most challenging years of my life, and that of our family. 

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HIGH LIGHTS OR LOW POINTS.....

Huge martial crisis

Loss of health insurance

Losing my mother at age 50 unexpectedly on Mothers Day

Not getting our garden in to my standards because of dealing with my mothers death and clearing out her house

Being totally lost, alone, and fighting depression

Learning that all Christians claiming to be Christians are not and merely cause drama and heartache in your life

Learning who my true friends where and who they where not

A loss of a very dear friend

Losing all my inspiration to craft, it just became a source of sadness to me

HOWEVER HERE IS SOME OF THE GOOD STUFF.....

I am blessed, tremendously, even through the hard stuff

 Growing more and more spiritually in my walk with The Lord

Rediscovering who I am

Brandyn is driving, I am not that old, they must just let kids drive younger than they used to

Brandyn bought a truck, seeing the pride on his face makes me the proudest mother ever

Isaac's 2nd Birthday kicked off the Los Conchas Fire resulting in mandatory evacuations in Los Alamos, being in White Rock we stayed home

We fed the firefighters at Station 4 here in White Rock three meals a day, from my kitchen, and put together over 3,500 emergency kits for them as well, what a blessing this was for us to be a part of and especially for our kids to participate in.  Our house was in constant chaos for a week but so worth it

We FINALLY subscribed to Netflix at the request of the kids, not so sure that I love it like they do

Taylor danced her way through 2 dance recitals, was a teachers assistant for the little children's show and we continue to work on the next dance recital, which she is hoping she will be doing on pointe

Savannah is reading, really reading, something I was told she may never be able to do, but GOD Is GOOD!

Taylor is also becoming quite a seamstress, which just amazes and inspires me

So as you can see I am looking very forward to 2012, with new dreams, hopes, visions, aspirations, goals, and lots of love in my life.  With God all things are possible and I am holding onto this PROMISE, as I hope you will too!
