"Look Inside Yourself"

After watching the final Oprah show I had my "ah ha" moment. She talked alot about the common thread in all of us....wanting to be validated in this life. We may not all end up on a stage with millions of viewers but we can come to a realization of what we were created for..our calling...why God brought us into existence. We may just be the peacemaker or buffer in our family, we may be an encourager to our children and grand-children. We may be the one that needs to take the first step in healing a broken relationship. We must all look beyond the fault and see the need. That alone will validate us and those around us....I am going to make some much needed changes in my own life..how about you?

"All Things Work For Our Good"

I believe that it is true that all things work together for good to all who love God. He knew us before we were created, and already had a plan for our life. We all go through tough times and I know it is hard to keep our head up all the time. Faith is an important element to help us keep our head lifted up....and remember if we are looking up we are looking toward God. I am in a critical stage of my life, needing to really have a strong faith and feeling a bit alone. I am not alone though....I have God.

It Is All About the Cross

My friend Melody took this picture and when I saw it I just about fainted. As most of you know I have a passion about crosses. I believe the reason for that is the fact that in my life I needed forgiveness and if it were not for the cross and what happened there we would all be lost. There is NO sin too great that His death will not cover. Now, the real challenge if for us, who claim to be like Him, find it so hard to forgive others. Please look at this picture and if there is anything in your heart that makes you hard or cold let it go, place it at the foot of the cross and LEAVE IT THERE!!

"What Is This Life Really All About?"

Today I have really been thinking about life and what it really means right now to me. I am approaching the golden years....62+ and it is not as golden as I thought. Looks more like brass. With all the certain challenges of getting older...health, old "Arthur" setting in, kids growing up and away getting on with their own lives, our own aging parents to care for and worry about, financial reckoning with the truth the baby boomers did not save for their future, and just trying to get past the past, all the mistakes we made and are paying dearly for. All that being said...it is better than the alternative....right? Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments.

"I Have One Nerve Left".......

Well the big news is that he had his nerve block and bada-bing-bada-boom....it worked ....some. Not completely out of pain and still on crutches most of the time but.....it ain't over till it's over. At least now I don't have to hide the guns in the house. Listen people this has been awful for him. Just try to imagine a never ending nerve pain in your butt and leg...Gives a whole new meaning to "pain in the a#$! We will know more next week. Thanks for checking on him. Oh and sign up for my blog and you might get a notice when I post any new news.

Get Me Outta Here!

As most of you know my husband Wayne is on crutches due to a herniated disc. We are in the process of going to a jillion doctors to try to find the right answer on what to do. Right now he is a tad better in the pain dept. Each day is different so who knows what tomorrow will hold. He is really getting cabin fever so today I am going to throw him in the car and get him outta here for a while. I may need some of his pills myself after this day is over. I will let you know how it goes.

I am starting this blog to share everything about my life you really don't want to read about. It just seems like right now everything in my life is really a challenge and I find writing things really helps my mind from blowing up! I hope you will become a part of my new adventure. I tried facebook and found it to become a hateful highway of hurt, heartache and headache. I stopped for now and may go back one day when I have the intestinal fortitude to delete people I don't know and some I know but really don't like..so for now I shall just blog. Feel free to comment on anything I share.
