A Dream Come True!

God has answered a prayer that has long been prayed by Ernie and I. We are going to be adopting a baby girl! She is going to be born Dec 4th! My sister was faced with an unplanned pregnancy. She has decided that she cannot give the baby a kind of home she thinks it needs.

She has asked us to adopt the baby and to be there to take the baby home from the hospital.
I pray that the Lord will allow everything to proceed smoothly and not have any issues.
We have NOTHING for a baby! We are going to have to do everything we can to make money.

OMG We need baby things! We need money for baby things and for baby to go to school! OMG!!

As the Holiday's approach

Sitting here tonight I am reminded all I have to be thankful for. I have an amazing husband, a good Christian family and my very best friend whom I've had for 25 years is still the best friend in the world.

I have had people come and go from my life and I have been sad or hurt or even felt nothing in some cases. In my 32 years I've had abuse, heartbreak, heartache, love, laughter, delight, joy and Jesus! Because I've had Jesus I have been able to endure the heartache, heartbreak and abuse. Because of Jesus I have been able to endure betrayal, divorce, drug use, poverty, homelessness and many other things.

If I had not grown up with loving Christian grandparents who prayed for me and with me and made sure I knew what the love of Jesus was, I don't think I would have lived to be 32. My mother worked hard and she was never afraid to let us see her cry, read her bible or pray. I always new my mom was a christian however she too stumbled in her walk like I did.
As I have gotten older I have grown to appreciate my mother much more.

I thank My Father in Heaven everyday for my loving family! For a mom who worked harder than most to provide for her 4 children. She never turned away a wayward teen and even when my friends were devious and mischevious she still gave refuge and allowed us to be teen misfits.

I thank God for my husband, he married me knowing I had a background of sexual, emotional and physical abuse. He knew I made a mistake and married at 17 and divorced by 19. He knew I was not the best house keeper and that I hate to do laundry. We have now been married 11 years and we are stronger than ever.

What are you thankful for?

Another Month Has Passed

We still working toward getting our finances in order. Ernie has started working full time and I have been offered a job but have yet to be able to start. I will be working doing what I love and I can't wait until the time with I can get my training with Secure Horizions and AARP done and over with. I want to be able to make a good living for my family. Poor Ernie has worked so hard for the last 11 years and I want him to be able to do some thing less strenious on his body that he enjoy's. I know he would excell in an accounting setting and I am hoping that Amy still wants to open her Bakery. He would be a major assett for her if she comes up here next summer. I am hoping the money we have all been working toward for the Bakery/Cafe comes through so we can purchase Cherry St. Market. I know it would be perfect. I can feel it in my bones!

I need to do a little more research on it but I have a great feeling about it...
Once I get to working more I'm going to have to find someone who can come in and help with the house and laundry! I don't have time to do laundry... I guess I could drop it off...IDK! lol

well I guess I should get busy with some of this research!
