HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

to me!

44 years ago today I entered this world!

Thank you Lord for giving me another year of life.

I hope I make a difference in someone's life today and everyday after.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have to say, I had a really huge wonderful day today. Our V Days are usually low key, maybe a little candy every now and then, but for the most part we just say "Happy Valentine's Day sweetie" and "I love you" and mushy stuff like that. (We're big on saying "I love you" every day, not just Valentine's Day!)

Anyway, the hubby and boys outdid themselves this year and I appreciate EVERYTHING they did and said! I'm grateful to have my family with me as often as possible. Especially when we're all getting along. :o)

Prayers are answered

I am so happy, and grateful, that my wonderful mom-in-law finally got a job. She had been without one for six l-o-n-g months and was feeling those yucky feelings we all feel when we repeatedly lose out on prospective opportunities. So, I am thrilled that all of our prayers were answer and God found the perfect job for her!!!

Sister Time

I'm happy today because I got to spend quality time with my sis! We don't get to see each other very often so it's really special when we get to hang out. I love my sis very much and definitely wish I could see her more often.

Love ya sis!

Empty Me

I found this song today while looking for Fernando Ortega's version of Give Me Jesus. This song is called Empty Me and is being sung by Chris Sligh, who was an American Idol contestant. I just found it so inspiring and moving...

Please watch, you will probably have to turn up the sound to hear the words clearly.

By the way, I don't like having to use YouTube for music, but it's the only quick resource I know of right now. Also, I have two different versions of Give Me Jesus linked so give them a listen. There is also a different Empty Me by Jeremy Camp, but I didn't link that one.
