Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I still dont have pictures up here for you to look at, but they are on my facebook account. Hope everyone is going to be having a face and Godly New Year. This whole "resolution" thing I am not so sure about. How many of us have actually ever kept a resolution? For the WHOLE year? I always believe that you should try to better yourself in many ways, but putting an actual label on it and only doing it one time a year feels very superficial to me. Thats no different than only being thankful for the blessing the Lord provides at Thanksgiving time.
There are certain things in my life that I am going to try to improve about myself. As a Christian, wife, and as a person in whole. I am going to try to not be angry at those who treat me bad, and I am going to try not to gossip about them if I DO get angry. I am going to be a better daughter to our Heavenly Father and trust in Him to supply my every need. To cry on His lap when I need to. To ask Him for a hug when I need one (thank you Katie). I am going to be the best wife I can to my husband and put my trust in him. And I am going to REALLY work on my health.
The fact that this is happening right at the beginning of the year doesnt really matter. These things have been heavy on my heart for quite some time now. Wednesday nights message was kind of the topper on the cake and I just decided to do what I know I should have been doing all along.
If you are into the whole New Years resolution thing, thats fine. Take that opportunity to examine yourself and see how you can better yourself for the Lord. In doing so, you will not just have a better spiritual life, but you will find that it will spill over into other aspects of your life, such as your marriage, your friendships, and even those pesky people that just seem to annoy you so...lol. Happy New Years everyone!!!! May God bless you and your family!

Day 12 - To My Daddy

Today is my daddy's birthday. He passed away back in 2001. There are always certain days and times that I think about him. There is certain things that remind me of him. A certain smell, sound, or even something as simple as a certain food. My daddy might not have been the best man at times, but when I think about him being gone from this world, and the things in my life that he has missed, it saddens me. My graduating high school, my wedding, and even the things to come such as his grandchildren. But then I try to remember that he is in the best place a person could be, and that is with our Heavenly Father.
Its humorous when you think about it, when i was a little girl, I thought that my daddy knew EVERYTHING. He was my Super Man! I use to brag to people at school that my dad could eat and drive at the same time! lol But then when I grew older and he tried to show me the ways of the world, I was convinced that he knew NOTHING! I think that's the philosophy of alot of kids, and if i knew then what I know now, I would have embraced that part of my life and got everything I could of out of it.
The Lord knew that I needed a father, that I couldnt do without one. So he sent me one. Michael Moyer. No one could ever replace my daddy, he will always be my daddy, but I couldnt ask for a better father than the one I have now.
I dont know how many people will be thinking of Keith Hicks today, but if you are reading this, please know that he once was a great man and the best father he KNEW HOW to be...a today is his birthday......Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you

Day 3 - Happy Birthday Rebbekah!

Today is my neice Rebbekah's birthday. She is now 7 years old. They are growing soooo fast! Her brother Matthew will be 5 this month as well. I was talking to them on the phone today and they are having a joined birthday party on Sunday. Matthew asked me if I would come to his birthday party and it just broke my heart to tell him no. He doesnt understand that Kansas and Pennsylvania are so far away from each other, but I wish I could be there with them. I have not seen Rebbekah since she was a baby, and I have NEVER gotten to meet Matthew. Hopefully soon one day David and I will get to go to Kansas so we can see my family. I miss them all soooo much!!!
