Been awhile

Sooo yeah, its been quite awhile since I have wrote. Have been quite sick for a few weeks and just getting back into the swing of things. Not too much going on thats new. OH! My best friend is pregnant! Not Katie, my other one Sabria...lol. If you know Katie, you should know better than to think it was her. But I am pretty excited about it. I know she is. Pray for her. She has 2 boys already...one is almost 2, and the other is not even a year...she will have her hands full. But I will help her through it. And she wants a girl. She just found out and could be as much as almost 4 months along. So we may know the sex soon enough! Thats all for now. HOPEFULLY I will write soon!

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!

Sicky

I am pretty sick right now. Not sure what is going on with me but I am trying to get into see the doctor tomorrow. After I feel better, I will post pics from Christmas Eve and Day. Hope I feel better by Wednesday, it my birthday. With David being laid off we arent able to do anything, but it would just really stink if I was sick on my birthday! Talk to you all soon!

Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope yall are enjoying your holiday season with the people you love. For us, the holidays are usually spent with some good Godly church family. One thing that I have learned recently is that the closer I get to the Lord, the farther away I get from certain friends and family. It was a REALLY tough time I was going through debating on what to do about it. David's family lives here in Pa, but there are only a couple of the family members that, as Christians, we would wish to be around them. And I have a very special friend that we usually spend the holidays with, but she wants the things of this world and I dont. It is AMAZING that when you REFUSE to choose, God chooses for you!!!! Not always what our choice would have been, but the right one.
As you grow closer to the Lord, you may lose a few friends, and maybe even family along the way, but remember, CHRIST IS THE BEST FRIEND YOU COULD EVER HAVE. And if you are in a good Bible believing church, you wont have a better family than the one you have there. I love my family very much and wish I could be with them during this holiday season, but I couldnt find any better people to spend it with than my church family. Lets remember to keep Christ not just in Christmas, but in our hearts and lives as well. No matter what the cost! Merry Christmas bloggers!!!!! May God bless you are yours this Christmas Day!!!!

Building a gingerbread house...kinda

Okay...so the whole block went out of power tonight. JUST our block too! So we went to Walmart and they had gingerbread houses on sale for 5 dollars. So I decided to get one. It was a nice Christmas project and always a good time. Well this one was possessed or something. It wouldnt stay together and it took over an hour to finally get it right. Then.....it happened.....I let Sabria touch it! NEVER EVER EVER LET SABRIA TOUCH IT!!!! First the roof came off, and eventually the whole thing collapsed...after my blood pressure went down, it was pretty funny. Then Joshi got into it and that was that. But my power is on now, so I am going home. But here are the pics from it...IN ORDER BOTTOM TO TOP OF HOW IT HAPPENED!!!!ROFL

Christmas Sunday

Well we had an absolutely WONDERFUL day at church today. Last night and early this morning we got over 6 inches of snow here in PA, and usually that would cause us NOT to have church because we are all snowed in. So of course I was praying, as I am sure were others, that people would be able to find their way in safely to get to church. The roads seemed ok this morning, but I wasnt expecting to see too many people out today. By 11am, God's house was full!!! It was a real blessing to see that many people out. Some of who we hadnt seen for awhile.

We sang a few congregational Christmas songs, and then Bro. Perette (not sure if it is spelled correctly, I dont have my bulletin...lol) read Luke 2:1-20. His wife sang a special and then Katie and I sang a special. The picture is a little dark but you can still see us. Pastor gave a sermon on celebrating His name. And THEN he read the kids the story of the candy cane. They enjoyed it sooo much. And even though they wont admit it, I think the "big kids" enjoyed it too!

Everyone did a good job on lunch. We all had a nice time fellow shipping with each other. A lot of us stayed for quite awhile. We started a yatchee game, but became so silly, an hour later we hadnt even gotten half way done with it! lol I am so glad that we have such a nice church family. Most everyone seems to care for each other so much. We couldnt have had a better day.

P.S. Remember I am still trying to get the hang of this blogging thing....i couldnt get the pics to go where I want so they are kinda just....well...everywhere...lol

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
