Realization of Speciality

My whole life I have known I was Special! You might say well aren't you boastful?! But hold on and hear me out! By Special I mean different, unique and challenging! You see I never thought of it as a good thing. I struggled on a regular basis with knowing I did not fit in, I was always different and most often in not good ways. Especially in my teen years I discovered even more how "special" I really was! This continued well unto my adulthood unfortunately! In the past year, maybe 2, I have seen God work miracles and place people in my life who have stretched me, encouraged me, supported me and loved me for who I am and no more! My Awareness of my Speciality has COMPLETELY changed for the better! You see, I am no different in many ways than that awkward teenager, or bold child I once was, I have just come to realize I was made to be Me and no one else! God is Almighty, He DID NOT make a mistake by making me! I am wife to John because God put us together! I am a mother to my children because God knew I needed them and they needed me! I am friends to those I am because God knew we were capable of putting into each others lives! I am serving in ministry because of the gifts God placed I'm me to be used for His Kingdom! Yes, I am Special! Yes, I am Different! Yes, I am Unique! I can think of no one else I'd rather be than Me! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

January Jiggles

It is A New Year and Amazingly so too! Hard to Believe its the year 2012 already! Our family is still a large family of 9 blessed by God's continued Mercy and Grace in a Daily Basis! I have seen God work more miracles this year than I can imagine! He truly is an Awesome, Good God! Micah is 14, growing as a young man in Christ, Blessing me more everyday! John Russell is 12.5 still my teddy bear as sweet as he was as a baby... I will never out grow a hug from him or any of my children! Titus is 10 nearing 11 and still a ladies man... I hope to hold on tight to him for several more years al least though! Grace is 8 and I am seeing her grow into a beautiful young lady already... Way too fast! Selah just turned 7 and is still my little princess... She loves to dress up though she likes to feel bigger now too! Levi is less than a month from being 5 and still every bit of boy! He is full of energy and almost more than I can handle at times... I am very thankful for God's Grace! Ruth is 2 now and still tiny for her age... Baby Ruth fits her perfectly and we nicknamed her "candybar" because she is so sweet! She truly is a mommas girl! John and I will Celebrate our 15th Anniversary on the 4th Of Jan! I'm so blessed to still be married to the love of my life! This is going to the best year of our lives!!! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Busily Blessed

It has been so long since I've written... Hard to write from a Mobil device... Really need  Computer... I will work around it though...

School is moving swiftly and smoothly! Each child has areas they need work on ... That's what school is for right learning what you don't know!

Church is Amazing! The people are wonderful and God is moving in so many ways!
I have discovered a new found love for teaching children and seeing the joy in their eyes as they hear about God's Love!
Being apart of a body who absolutely loves serving... Just makes it all the more easier!

God has also renewed my love for worship and signing put together... I have list my fear if whether people think I'm right or wrong... It's not for them anyway... It's for God alone! If I indeed minister to others in three process it is an added blessing!

So ad you can see God has abundantly blessed us and though I cannot describe the many many other ways, I assure you they are many!

Forever and a Day!

It seems like forever since i've connected with my blog! With homeschooling 6 kids this year and trying to organize... It has taken more time than writing a blog allows for!

Not to mention taking over the decorating for preschool and learning the ropes... I've been busy to say the least!

My health has been AMAZING! God has begun to guide me and strengthen me in ways I never new possible! The love for my mate of almost 15 years is growing stronger day by day! Being with my children is a Joy I will never regret!

Truly God has blessed me beyond measure! I love my family and all I have been given!

My heart longs to be totally reliant on God for everything I need and recently I've come to a place where I know He is my all!
This new Revelation has given me such freedom... Freedom to know that I am loved and I am Special!

For years ... Many years I have fought a mind battle to remember that on a daily basis... Despite being told it over and over again by so many! I am loved... By the One that is most important... Add in all those around me and that is just the cherry on top so to speak!

My fulfillment comes from knowing I am serving a purpose greater than anyone could imagine! I walk in His love... I serve in His image...I follow His plan! God is my best friend!

God is my Confidant,my Counselor, my Abba Father! I worship God from a place so deep that many will never see... I worship for His Glory alone! I serve for His glory alone! I do my best for His Glory alone!


I can hear the critics say... These are just words... You'll need others... I never said I did NOT need others... I just said God is my first and foremost!

God provides when all else fails! God teaches me when no one else has the answer! God hugs me when I'm way out if arms reach! God loves me despite my daily failures... Or my momentary failures too!

I ve seen the light... Nothing can hide it now! I need God and God alone... So that makes me especially very thankful for all the friends and family I've been blessed with to add to that!

Who do you rely on... When there is no one to call or no one around?

Why do you worship? Worship is a true form of love expressed in freedom! It matters not what people think because at the end if the day... They are thinking about you much less than you really think anyway!


The feeling I have of all the cares in the world being taken by  the Almighty God... Is a feeling I wish for every man woman and child... On a daily basis! Who needs a crisis to trust God do it now... You'll be amazed at the peace and Joy you will feel!

God is good.. mire than that ... God is Great... He is your provider... Your All! Allow Him to be all He wants to be in your life!

The Bright Side

To look at the mountain of laundry in my room you'd think I'd be overwhelmed... When in fact it makes me happy... You see they are ALL clean! Yes they are in need of being folded and put away but at least they smell good!

I've found that to overcome the things I see as "big" it becomes easier when I  see the "bigger" things! Say for instance... A family of 12 would have much more laundry so looking at my 5 loads for the day.. even add in thinking of the two still in the wash and dryer... I see them as much smaller!

So my hopes today is someone somewhere will see the mountain of 5 loads of laundry in my room tonight and take on their two or three with joy! Be Thankful they are clean clothes!

Prepare To Prepare...

In the coming months I will be preparing to take over the preschool department in our church... To say the least I am excited... Yet nervous! I've never been over more than my family before. Children are easy to lead in some senses, adults are completely different.

I've been blessed to come into a great leadership team and I have no doubt I will not be stranded yet helped at every turn! The children are my heart and I never thought I'd hear myself say that! God has truly blessed my heart with this change and seeing the children love to come learn is AMAZING!

I know my talents are God given and not boasting just using confidence I believe God is going to change me through the coming months!

So as I Prepare to Prepare to take over this new area in my life... God is guiding my every step!

Can you Relate?

Today our power was out for several hours and I found myself relating to my children in new ways... Strange as it may seem ... Even as a mom of 7 there are things about children I have yet to learn!

The picture above is a wallpaper offered by our church and it is the  background on my phone... It reminds me daily we are here in this world to relate to people to show them that looking past our outward appearances we too have our faults and imperfections!

So often I feel like I fail as a mom, as a friend, as a wife.. no one else ever feels like that right! See I am far from perfect... Just ask my kids!

Even so as far from perfect as I am I learn daily from mistakes and keep trying again to do better! I rely on scripture and prayer to get me through the times when I feel like I may not be able to go on! God is my refuge and strength!

As a mom I know there are times when I need to step back and breathe... A cluttered house or dirty clothes piled high or dishes yet to be washed ... In no way mean I do not love my children... In fact they mean I've taken the time to read books with the baby growing fast or play games with the teen who'll soon be off to college!

God takes time for me so why shouldn't I? As much time as I need I strive to give each of my children double what I give myself in a week... They are precious to me!

Can you Relate to me? Can you Relate to the mom with the screaming baby in Walmart? Can you Relate to your children? Find someone you can Relate to today and share your heart! Remember God can always Relate to you!

Better to listen and obey than to run away...

God said go and Jonah said no... Then he was swallowed by a whale!

Even teaching a class of ten 2-4 yr olds tonight they could grasp how important it was to listen and obey rather than run away!

Now if we as adults will learn the same lesson!
