Although my dad didn't pass away on New Years Eve, I always tell others not to be selfish and drink and drive. It's not easy wishing your father/mother was around. It's not easy wondering if they had a moment of regret before they passed. Don't leave your children with the pain of losing a parent.
The other way; don't leave this world leaving your parents with the heartache of losing their child to drinking and driving. It doesn't feel good to suffer such a loss.
As we come to the end of 2009 and Mike leaves only days later; I'm still finding myself looking forward to it all. There's a lot of growth that will happen. A lot of relationships will be built and become stronger. More so my relationship with Christ. I have never believed in New Year's resolutions; I feel it's a set up for failure. I do however truly believe that my gift will shine this coming year.
I really do look forward to 2010! Lord use me in ways that will keep my light burning. I'm waiting...I love you oh Lord God Almighty.

3 days left..
Maybe I'm having a moment of thoughtfulness. I know what I'd like to say but can't exactly put it into words. Perhaps if i continue to write it will come out.
Mike leaves soon.. This will only make the umphteen time that I have been through a deployment. I shouldn't nervous after all he's only going to Afghanistan for 9 months. That's what they say anyway. He's a attaching to a unit with the Army. Those deployments seem to last a year to 18 months. Humm, maybe this is what God has for us. I'll be fine; I've made some great friends, the clinic family, friends throughout the years of serving, my church family, and most importantly, my Lord and children. Yeah I think I'll be okay. There are plenty of people praying for us. So yeah the kids and I will fine. I think 2010 will come with many blessings....

Christmas:
1) a babe
2) our Savior
3) Jesus
4) the ultimate gift to us
5) his birth
I believe this is the best gift that we could ever receive. If you see it too; take a knee and pray.
Lord; how you have given so much to us. How amazing are you. I love you father...

Teens and youth Challenge.
For my sanity; I have given my Sunday school class a challenge. It is to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ through all the trails that we may endure this week. We must learn to trust in him when the waves are high and when the seas are calm. I look forward to sharing my story next Sunday. I must let my light shine bright!

Wait a minute! I think it's Pastor Rogers writing!!!

Moving again??? You're kidding me right?!
That's been the question of the week. Yes it's true. We have moved from the travel trailer into a 3 bedroom 2 bath. It must have been what the Lord wanted for us. As you may have read before; my husband picked up rank, is deploying in less than a month; and who knows what else is in store for us. And because of those 2 main reasons we decided to move into a house. As word was coming in about Mike; one of our dearest friends bought land and wouldn't buy it if we didn't move in one of the homes. We didn't hesitate and quickly moved in 2 weeks later. Mike said it was the right thing to do.
We found out he will be deploying with the Army; which means there is a very good possibly he will be gone a year VS. 8 months. I have been married into the military for 14 years. Believe me when I say I am accustomed to deployments. I think we'll be just fine.
On a good note, we have an awesome church, co-op, and clinic family! I highly doubt we'll be hurting for something. In the very end we'll get to welcomed my husband home and appreciate him just a little more. That tends to happen every time he comes home.
Next thing is, you must be waiting for pictures of the new house. You'll get some, just not in the next 2 days. I want to make sure the house is all set before I do so. I will also be getting back on track with my trip to Mexico. We love you all! I hope you're enjoying you visit into our lives. BTW, who is the anonymous guest that wrote on my last mini story?

Who's reading?
I chose this title because I was a bit shocked to learn that a young male adult was reading my blog. It isn't because he's male that I was surprised. Perhaps it's because he said he has read almost every one of them I've put up. Actually I'm pretty shocked I've kept his interest thus far. Who'd a thought it would be him reading it?!
Since it was brought to my attention last night, it made me wonder who really is getting a sneak at my ever so boring life. After all I'm a terrible writer; my grammar really, really sucks, and I can't spell to save my life!! May I ask one favor of all my readers? Can you write your nick/name if you're a reader (at any given time)? I'm interested in how many have taken time out of their day to take a trip around my ever so empty head!
God bless you all!

It's all so bitter sweet..
Hello everyone!
My husband and I are thrilled to announce that he has been promoted! Mike scored so high on his exam that we will be seeing it in our income next payday! I am very proud of him and all his accomplishments. I must say, boy did our family sacrifice the time for this. It all paid off!
The other news. He has received hard cut orders and has been told that he start to get everything in order as of yesterday. Mike will be deploying to Afghanistan from Jan-Sept. We were told that he will be put in the safest zone possible. I was thrilled to hear that! I still know that either way there is a risk.
I only ask that everyone pray for a hedge of protection for my husband. The kids and I feel that the Lord has plans and it is out of our control. We are faithful and whatever is sent our way we can handle. Perhaps my husband is going to plant a seed in these people. Who knows. But what I do know is that all will be well because our God is a good God!
In the meantime; we will remain in Milton. This weekend we will be moving into a 3bd 2 bath off Avalon. He felt safer having us in a home. Thank you all for the upcoming prayers!
