If you are new to my blog, Hang on because there are many for you to read through in my archives below. Now that should get you a bit excited or exhausted, you can decide, but nonetheless, WELCOME!
I am off to Ga. in the morning and truly, am ready to see my mom and help her in anyway possible. Her accident was one that made us all stop the pace of Christmas break... which was coming to an end. The ringing in of the new year was much more reflective now that she lie in intensive care with a broken neck, multiple bruises and a wounded spirit. However, the memory that remains from this ordeal is of a conversation she had with her surgeon just before she went into surgery. Connie, in her slurred speech, made eye contact with her surgeon saying, "Dr., I have been praying for you" and he replied without hesitation, "Connie, I have been praying for you too, let's do this thing" and off they went into surgery. This type of confidence and peace can only come from our divine creator. The One who sees is the One who knows and with that we are reassured of our futures. For so many of us, (us included) our futures are unknown and our paths seem to be hidden by some fog; but I am confident that, "the Lord gives wisdom and peace and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding" Prov. 2:6 So, as I travel tomorrow I will trust in whatever he lays in my path and pray that I have ears and eyes to understand I am in His presence.
Blessings to all this new and wonderful 2009

Welcome to a New Year and new adventures
Family, friendships and fellowship that's what it's all about in 2009! This year has started with a test of faith and I know despite what life sends our way, the Lord is with us wherever we go! A matter of fact He is already ahead of me (us), protecting, paving and promising me (us) of His plan. I believe that and pray He reminds me of that often this year!
My mom is having surgery this morning because she was in a bike accident on Jan 30th and broke 2 vertebraes- #1 and #2- at the base of her skull. The helmet was her protection from possible paralysis or even death. God is her protection during this trial and has provided great wisdom to all involved. I praise Him for designing each of us with different passions and professions!
I pray the Lords presence is felt by mom and Tom as they trust in His provision over this surgery as well as her recovery. May He who is able, provide peace that surpasses all understanding and strength to the weary!
On another note, my 6 week old baby goat, Jessie, is still hanging on and we believe he is a fighter and will live! He is taking bottles every 4 hrs. and is getting stronger. If we could control the "runs" then he would gain some weight back but until then we continue to provide nourishment and love!
Blessings in the fire .... we wont get burned, but may feel the heat for awhile!
