Five years since my first tiny blessing was born!

We recently...well september we celebrated my sweet girls 5th birthday! I can NOT believe that five years have flown by already!! But I have loved every moment of watching my girl grow and learn...I have enjoyed every stage!!  My girl loves her gymnastic class and she wanted a gymnastic party.  I loved the idea!! I didnt have to clean my house to clean it again in a few hours later!! Whoop!!...then my sweet husband decided we should have a camp out...ummmm that is like two parties in one honey.  How about next year?  and he won....well my sweet girls smile won! So here are a FEW picts from the gym/campout party! Wanted to share some of her birthday fun with you all.

Just getting to our hotel! 

Well since I have not blogged in sometime now...let me back up.  We went to Disney Back in October.  We love Disney.  Chad has been many more times than me but even I have been more than the average person would ever go in their lifetime.  Nothing like seeing Disney through your children's eyes...just priceless.  So I have a ton of pictures that I want to share from this trip...some how I will narrow it down!!! So going into this trip I did not know how my Easton would do with the Character..the "tough" kid can be a scared kid! ha! I really thought he would cry out "NO" when they came near...but HE DIDN'T!! He loved them, esp Mickey!! AND when he saw the night parade for the first time (Even though this is he second trip to disney!! He went when he was three months!) it was PRICELESS!!! His little face lite up watching and it soon turned into excitement and he could not contain it... he was waving like a mad man!! A memory etched in my mind forever! you will see a picture below... and my Jadyn...this is her 4th trip to Disney..so I knew she would Love it but her excitement was no less then any other time we have been.  This time she was tall enough to ride Thunder mountain, splash mountain and even tower or terror...that is right my five year old rode tower of terror.  She loved the "big rides".  She even talked her daddy to taking her back into the park at 10:00 at night just to ride splash and thunder mountain!! Luckily we were close.  We stayed in the Contemporary's bay lake towers so we could just walk to magic kingdom...talk about spoil ya.  No waiting on buses...we were just a few minute walk from the front gates. :) Very nice.  We enjoyed our stay there! Well enough talking...here are some pictures...

Until next time....

You got a minute??

 ...or two?? Not a long post tonight.  Just wanted to share a song that has touched my heart over the last week...the first time I heard it was a little girl who sang it acapella (due to sound system failure) at our church fall festival.  She did a fabulous job...well from what I heard...I quickly "fell apart" listening to it and slipped inside our church.  Since then...I have heard it on the radio numerous times and now downloaded to my Itunes.
   Hope some of you can relate or maybe one day if you face some adversity in your life...you can remember this song.  I Love music! I love that there is always a song that can allow God to speak directly to your soul, or even just bring you back to a certain time in your life. :)

"Baby" Steps

"Baby" Steps..... I have not blogged in....well....a long time. As I guess you can see. Somehow i have found my way back to this page today so I guess I will take baby steps to blogging again...well today anyway. I find comfort in writing...I am not a "Talker" when it comes to my feelings so writing is always a good way for me to get things out. I have went through bad times in my life..we all do. Have ups and downs that we go through and find ourselves experiencing...every situation we confront shapes us into who we are. Sometimes the situations turn out to be not as trivial as we make them out to be...while sometimes we try to hide just how trivial a "situation" has been in our life..either way we grow, we change and we try to better our self from the trials that we face. Have you ever had a trial in your life that you didn't know if you were ever gonna get to the end of that tunnel and see the light??

 Most of the people that read this blog...I know have FAITH...so do you turn to you faith in times of hurt/heartbreak/devastation? I do...I have only recently went through a loss that was just HeArTbReAkInG!! Before very recently I have never suffered a loss that has made my heart literally hurt, made my chest feel so heavy, made my days long and gray, make me want to bury myself in my sheets and stay there for days to come..I could keep going but maybe you get the point...If I did not have faith...well I just do not know what I would do...I have FAITH that my lord knows my path and he makes it for me...as hard as it is to bare sometimes...I know he has got my back and is leading me down a path so that I can grow?,change? or better myself? I have yet to learn what the lord would have me go through this loss for but I do know that because of my faith I will pick myself up, dust myself off and put one foot in front of the other until I am running again. Running down the path that my savior has for me no matter how bumpy it may be. I can not help but think of the pain and mental anguish one suffers that does not have faith...

 I always turn to my Bible...no I thirst for my bible esp in trials...the lord has spoken to me so clearly through his word that I thirst for it when I am searching for an answer..I know he will show me...in his time...I know he will show me..for the bible tells me so.
 here are few, of many, verses that shows us the lord is always guiding us:

~ God will show me the path of life. (Psalm 16:11)
~ My steps are ordered by the Lord. (Psalm 37:23)
~ I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He directs my paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
~ I shall hear a word behind me, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever I turn to the right or the left. (Isaiah 30:21)
~ The Lord will guide me continually. (Isaiah 58:11)

 I pray you are following Gods "path" for you and that you have FAITH in what he has in store for you.... .
