Somethings...

Somethings that I have been thinking about are what I am so Thankful for. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family. I have the most beautiful four year old little boy that God granted us with and one great eleven year old. I really need to learn to tell them both that more often. My husband is truly sent from God to be able to deal with me and all of the craziness. I am thankful that we have a home although it may not be all that I envision or all that I would like to have I know that God has provided it for us and that it is not permanent, we can move when that time arrives and I know that life here on Earth is not forever either. I am so thankful for the life that God has blessed me with. I am very thankful that I lived through the wreck I had about 7 years ago...I had '99 Chevy Cavalier that I totaled in November. We had only been in our house a month and my momma had just paid the car off for me. I lost control and ended up flipping it. I have a large scare on my left arm from where my arm was pinned between the road and the car door. My head hit the door window hard enough to knock out the window and during a flip my arm ended up out the window. There had to be an angel with my for me to have gotten out of that wreck with not just my life, but no broken bones. The car was certainly broken though...and I have scars that will be with me for the rest of my life on earth. I had to have skin graphs done to be able to fix the wound that I had. I have learned though that, that cars are replaceable, think I didn't fully comprehend that before. I survived the wreck and so many other things and I know that God is good and faithful and even though not all of can survive certain accidents and all the things that life throws our way God is always in control and he ultimately decides what we survive here on Earth and if it's our time it's just our time no matter what we here on Earth may want. Not sure what else I want to say, but I am sure by tomorrow more things will come to me and I'll have a lot more to say then.

Love

Everything that God is, is Love, even if we don't always see it that way. We love because it's the greatest thing that God gave us. If he didn't love us he would not have sent his only son to Die on a Cross for us and he died for ALL of us. I love my husband and the boys. My parents loved each other or else I wouldn't be here. My daddy loved me no matter what mistakes I made and I loved him even through his drinking. My mom and I didn't always like each other, but we've always loved each other no matter what the situation. I am so very thankful to have her and the wonderful step-dad that God has blessed me with. I also didn't understand at first why God took my daddy from this earth, but I know it was because his love for him was greater than any earthly love I could have ever had for him. Daddy loved Jason, Matt and I so very much and I am grateful that he was at my wedding, he could see Matt and was able more than anything to be saved by God so that he could enter into the gates of Heaven. Jason and I love each other or else we wouldn't be where we are today, after a pregnancy in high school, a wreck that almost took my life, and all the other things we have gone through...we LOVE each other.  Jason and I have certainly been loved by our church families over the years, some that we no longer get to really see or spend time with, but we know that they love us and we still certainly love them. We have a wonderful Sunday school class that we have been a part of for a few years now and we know we are loved by them and I must say that we love them too. Love is something that you can't see, but we can feel and we know it is there..through actions, words, letters, cards, hugs, tears, kisses, and even death..do we know that love exists...

What By God's Graces means....

I am starting this blog as a testament to my life and how I have been saved and blessed by God despite the fact that I still sin and am no where near perfect. I have gone through quite a lot in the 30 years I have been a live and I feel that God wants me to share most of what I have learned and have come through. I am not some goody, goody, Church going girl that never does anything wrong so please don't get that in your mind that "oh great, she's going to be preaching to me...I get enough of that from everyone else." I am not going to do that. This is just my testament of how I have over come things in my life and what God has done for me through the years and that his love is truly amazing and that you have to have Faith and Believe. I want to be able to do some Bible Studies on here and be able to help others grow in Faith as well as myself as I know I am speaking just as much to me as I am anyone else. I hope that if you have questions or want to know more that you will contact me and I will even try to get some of the questions up on here kinda like a message board I guess you could say. As I mentioned in my about me section, I am a mother of two, both boys ages eleven and four. Jason and I had Matt in the Spring of '99, my senior year of High School. Yes, I graduated and yes, I walked the stage. Went my whole senior year pregnant, but I manged it. There has been so much take place between High School and what has become today. I actually want to take the time to go back to before I ever met Jason, who is my husband, and give you the inside to my life growing up and just what is so amazing about Grace and God's love and timing...I will go into that more later on. God's Graces is just that, his Grace and Mercy will see you through anything and everything that life can throw your way. God spared my life when I could have died, gave me a wonderful family that I didn't think I would ever really have or deserve; my husband is the best and I know God gave him to me, The Lord saved my Daddy from alcohol and drug addiction, He gave me a wonderful step-dad who I now call Dad, a house and a job that I love. So here's to God's Graces and I pray that you will continue to come back and us grow together in Faith, Love and just how Awesome God really is...Thanks for coming by.
