Have a Very Merry Christmas!

I am not sure when I will be back on here, so I wanted to post this while I had a chance. Yesterday we finished up our Christmas shopping (we had very little to do anyway) and today Kiddo and I are going to meet with some of my old friends from my last church for lunch - what a great time we'll have! It is super cold and feeling more and more like Christmas every hour! Old friends, good food, Christmas lights and the story of Jesus...aahhhh! :o)

Wednesday we'll have a long day. I have several dishes to prepare Wednesday morning (for baking at my mother-in-law's house on Thursday) and when Hubby gets off of work about noon we'll head up to Tulsa to visit MY family. We won't be back until probably near midnight or so and then when we wake up we'll have our Christmas here (just the three of us)...that's why I am preparing the dishes on Wednesday morning. I just won't have time Thursday! We'll spend most of Christmas Day with Hubby's family at his parents' home and we'll exchange gifts and devour a FEAST prepared by myself and my new sister-in-law! It should be a great time!

I am wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Holiday filled with Joy, Peace, Laughter and Memories! Sending my love to my new friends!

P.S. I wanted to post another picture but I couldn't find a Christmas-y one...this was just after Christmas. We got Chuy on Christmas Eve last year and Kiddo was trying to sleep with him a week or so later. (Yeah...that never really worked out! :o) I went to check on them and Chuy decided to check on Kiddo - it was just too sweet not to take a pic of...this is still one of my faves! Chuy was less than 2 pounds in this picture. It's funny to think he is BIG now comparatively at 4 1/2 pounds full-grown! :o) By the way, the pj's are Kiddo's tiger Halloween costume that I made about 2 years earlier...can you tell he loved to wear them? I finally made him give them away when they were almost Bermuda shorts! :o)

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
