Beautiful Tragedy...

OK. Where to begin. It's been a wacky few days. First of all, please keep my neighbors/new wittle sis' family, in your thoughts and prayers. You've seen me mention Anna. Her mother just passed away Saturday. I don't want to go into detail. She was only 38 years old. Goes to prove that tomorrow is not promised. If you haven't done so, consider getting your heart right with God.

Well, I got to see my lovely sailor! For 12 wonderful hours! The last time for a few months. Not cool. But I'm strong. I will get through.


To catch up on things I'm grateful for (combination of the past few days):

1- God is amazing! This re-discovering myself process is so very hard, but so worth it!

2- My bestie. You keep me in check. You've torn these walls down, so that I can be built back up. I know you'll always be here for me no matter what.

3- My sweetheart, my world. My sailor, my knight. My hero. Seeing him, hearing his voice, being in his arms makes me forget about the rest of the universe. Time spent together is so much better than time spent apart. But no matter how our time is spent, we're still in each others hearts!

4- Music. Like I said before, it always knows my mood. There's not much more I can say.

5- My new Bible! I'm starting this journey: "Through the Bible in 90 Days"! I'm making a whole page dedicated to it. So keep checking in!

What are you grateful for? I challenge you to write down at the end of each day at least 5 things you're grateful for that day. It's a life-changing experience!

Jeremy Camp- I'll Take You Back

When it rains it pours!

Past two chaotic days. Catching up. This’ll be for Tuesday & Wednesday.

5 Things I’m Grateful for:

1-God is amazing. I’m learning to re-discover myself. Find my true identity, in Christ. Walls being torn down. New found strength building me back up. Healing me. This is an amazing feeling! ...sometimes we have to follow our hearts...even if it hurts some of the people we love. I'm re-discovering ME and that's what matters right now. I'm building up my faith, as these walls are being torn down. I'm healing in this process as well. My faith is about me at the moment, but it will get to be about others as well...soon. Until then, I need NO DRAMA! NO STRESS!

2-Thunderstorms! House rattling, lights up the sky, thunderstorms! These are the best days to sleep…but not when you have a lot to do!

3-My best friend. They really know how to cheer me up when I’m down. Just hearing their voice calms me. I don’t know what I’d do without them!

4-My cat: Amber Lynn. She’s so adorable and fuzzy and hilarious. I loveez her!

5-Last, but not least, my family. They may be chaotic and crazy, but that means it’s never a dull moment around here!


When it rains it pours! It’s been pretty chaotic here these past few days. Lot’s of drama. Everything seems to be going great and peaceful, and then the heavens open up! I don’t know what I’d do without my best friend right now, while my sailor is away. Since he’s away & there’s pretty much no contact (the email server seems to be down), I have no one else to confide in. A support system is extremely important during these tough times. Keep your head up! Hang in there! Remember to stay strong, because we are SUPERHEROES! If we can get through childbirth & deployments, nothing can stop us!

Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me”!

Never look down on anybody, unless you're helping them up.

5 Things I’m grateful for today:

1-God. He allowed me to wake up this morning. He gave me breathe. Life. Everything.
2-My new wittle “sister”. Miss Anna. Love her to death. She helps keep me busy, keep me laughing. She’s adorable. Gets my mind off the loneliness.
3-Best friends. They make the world a better place. Couldn’t ask for better friends. During a time when I need them the most they are truly here for me.
4-My momma’s cooking! OMGosh she can make a MEAN meal! She made chicken breasts with BBQ sauce; topped with sliced tomatoes, green & red peppers. WOW! Mashed potatoes on the side along with cheesy broccoli casserole! OMG!
5-Lovely, hot/warm, wonderful, long showers! They never cease to make me feel better when I’m not feeling so well.
Killer migraines…meet life-restoring, wonderful, showers!
