Scary huh

Holy Cow

Oh my goodness the mother of all huge massive trees just fell in our backyard!!!! yea we were sitting down to eat dinner and our back neighbor that we NEVER see or know came to our door and said kinda in a drunk way aah a branch just came down off the big tree in the back and It is going to come down I am calling my insurance company so you better get anything out of the yard you don't want hurt out. Ken came from the door looked out side and saw a branch had fallen but the tree looked fine, sat down and maybe 3 mins later crash. Right on the swing set and Abby our dogs run and kennel. It was a miricle she was not hurt, we were able to cut her out of the small space in the kennel . This tree is massive!!!!!!!!! and very very old. For sure if Ken would have gone out to move Abby out of the kennel he would have been under that tree.
Thank you so much Heavenly Father for your watchful eye. What a miricle. We have been so blessed no one was hurt.

Changes and decissions

I guess I am a true gemini in that I need change but the inner me never seeks for it. Now that I am older I find it so hard to have life change. I so miss the days of being a mom and keeping the house on a even keel and having all my sweet little ones around me, learning daily why the Lord allowed me to have each one of them. In those days they taught me so much, not that they don't still do. I find I have had such a hard time letting loose of those precious children and friends. I know that is the Lord's plan and I am so happy they have found people who they love.

Now I must learn it is time for me to move to the next step in life and i am truly trying. It doesn't take much to bring a tear to my eyes when I think of our little family and all the good times I miss, but I am truly trying to do better and love life in the now.

Also it never seems to get any easier to make decissions in life. I always thought that when you get older it gets easier, yea, NO. In all things i have always tried to make decissions based on what I know is right and if the Savior were standing right in front of me it would be a choise that would be pleasing to him. Now as the days get more complacated the economy gets more unsure making financial decissions are not so easy to make. For months we have been faced with having to make some important financial decissions that seem to be more complicated that usual. I cling to my faith in the Lord and his son Jesus Christ to help us make these choices. Still it is one of the most diffacult things.

Why I love my life

Well I guess you can see some of the reasons I love my life. How richly blessed I have been.
He is always right there with me and knows when I need something, the Lord never lets me down. Just when I need him the most he helps me. He knows what I need to help me to grow and then allows life to do that for me. I only pray that I will in every test make the decissions he would want me to make and always be found following his example of kindness, and doing what is right. I am daily humbled at his love for us and me. One of the big ways he has shown me his love is by allowing me to have such an amazing family, family is everything.
