A new day

Well here I am setting at the computer ,its a new day . I have read my bible, done the dishes,washed and dryed and folded the laundry ,oh and made my bed, sounds llike much progress . I am usally taking my morning nap at this time but I am trying hard to force myself to stay up and be productive ,there is so much that needs to be done ,my only wish is that I could inspire my family to want to be part of the productivity.(ha ha) Andy is almost finished with the bathroom just a few more details and it will be finished ,looks like it maybe finished next year with deer season coming up . oh well.... I guess that will be my new saying,OH WELL !!! ,what do ya'll think about that one . Any how I hope you all are feeling well ,happy and blessed this friday morning ,it starts my monday in my Wal-mart week so hi-ho,hi-ho its off to work I go . I hope it will be a good week there and I stay busy but with the holiday season upon us this should be getting easier and easier to do with each passing day . All you ladies out there have a great time at ladies retreat -say a prayer or two for me while your there I am sure I will need them. Love you all . and bye for now.

Greatful

I'm greatful for Rest,a good day ,some progress ,and hope that tomorrow will be even better .
I'm greatful for the KEY that God has sent me to find the answers I seek even if the answers aren't the ones I want them to be (never the less not my will but Gods will be done ) after all he knows whats best for those that Love him . And I know that he knows that I love him ( and exactly how much ) God help me to love you even more . I'm thankful for the prayers that have been prayed for me . Please keep them coming .My hope is that I will be sensitive to Gods Spirit and hear him when he does give me a answer for what I'm going thru . A matter of fact I want him to be the only Answer I hear . I love you all and hope you are having a blessed day.

needing answers

Yes you heard right . I need direction from the Lord . I need help and its sadly not going to come from anyone down here . It hasn't thus far and after this long its not very likely that its going to . I'm dissappointed , I'm hurt , I don't know what to do , And I don't know if I would have enough strength to do it, if I did know . So direction and strength is what I hope I will find at church tonight . Answers ,Answers Answers . Lord GOD please let me hear them . Please pray that the answers will come soon. I dont know how much more of this I can take.

Faithful

Lord ,
I want to be faithful .I want a heart that is true
Nothing in secret , everything open to you.
Lord let me be faithful in all that I say and do .
Lord I want to be faithful so faithful to you.
---not just a song but my prayer for the rest of my
life .

A day of rest

Well thats exactly what today has been . I got up early and got the boys off to school,washed and dryed and folded the clothes ,did some dishes ,after that I sat down with a egg sandwich ate,and proceeded to read 6 chapters of the bible ,after which I took a nap ,I got up and showered just before everyone came in from work and school, although I do think Andy must have come in sometime during my nap because he said I must have been living the life today .LOL . I really hate to lose a day but it felt really good to rest . Thank God for rest.

It works now

yeah its working again. this will make it a lot easier to post from now on.

Test

Test

Hey everyone

I hope everyone is having a great day. I seem to be having some computer difficultys my keyboard dont want to type when I'm trying to post on my blog but it works quite well when I'm just commenting . Any ideas?

moody

Well I guess thats me today ,you know I manage to keep the way I feel bottle up most of the time pretty well, only those closest to me know when something really bothers me . I'm trying to clean the house ,but my hearts not in it . I really just want to cry . oops I am . I really miss Damon today . It seems so wrong that I am here and hes gone . In my mind it should be the other way around . He always had so much to offer everyone he came in contact with . I really don't understand why ? I do try but I still don't . I know what the word has to say about so much of the pain ,and hurt thats inside me right know , and about Gods ways , and even about how happy he must be right now , but standing on this side of death hurts sooooo bad . I only see this side of things and I really ,really miss him . well before I ruin everyones day I'll get off here, sorry

Why not try God

I have something thats absoultley driving me crazy today. Why do people go about their lives unsaved ,draging misery upon misery on themselves ,messing up their lives so badly their seems to be no help at all, and all of a sudden they decide to ask God to help but on their terms (and this after somthing terrible happens) . I really don't see the logic in this didn't they make the mess doing it their way. All I'm trying to say is why don't they want to try it Gods way and see for themselves if it gets any better or not. They use God like he's a genie in a bottle , rub it ,tell it what they want and bam they should get it not having to change or do anything in return.I dont understand . God is so very perfect and to live his way is so much more fullfilling . You have peace when you lay down at night knowing whatever happens where your destanation will be . You have peace that though you might not be with your kids that they are making good choices and that God already has his hand on them (not waiting till after the fact to get his help). And this is only the beginning as the song says its peace like a river . And I want to float around in it till it takes me all the way to the shores of the crystal sea.

Hows the bathroom

"Hows the bathroom ?" some inquiring minds want to know . Well no its still not finished but it has come a real long way from where it started, after we made the addition to the bathroom to make it bigger and riped out the old tub Andy found out that what I had been telling him all along was true and that our tub was leaking, no let me change that gushing out up under the house ,and so not only did he have to take the tub out but rip up the floor around it to also find that our tolet also had been leaking and rotted the floor around it ,so he ripped that up to also find that the sink too had been leaking [ha ha do you believe it well i do cause this is my life funny aint it} so now all leaks have been fixed , wall up around the addition {this means I cant see garage any more -thank you jesus .It also means brand new floor has been installed along with new tub and new toilet ,so far we still need to put in a new sink ,and put up new drywall in the old part of the bathroom ,install tile,finish walls and paint, but all in all i'm glad that the worst is over and i can live with the rest of what needs to be done although I hope it dosen't take him forever to finish the rest . So thats where we are right now in the world of yvonne and andy land ,hope alls right with your world and the surounding areas

its late

Hey everybody I know its late and you all maybe in bed but if you cant sleep and happen to read my blog or if you get up really early in the morning please say a prayer for Kasey ,her other cat jr. got sick tonight and all this stuff is getting to be too much for to handle ,please say a prayer for the cat to get better and also lets band together to pray for Kasey that God would build up a hedge around her till she regains her strength in him or at least her focus on the Lord . all that she has gone through is just (what seems to me unbearable) but of course I know that with God all things are possible ,and he will not put more on us than we are able to bear ,but boy some times I think he belives in us too much ! So please keep her in your prayers she will cherish everyone I know. thank you , and GOD bless you everyone.

Run down

Run down and tired thats how I feel. I really need to clean but all I really want to do is sleep or just lay around. I have to take Nada to the dr. around 3:00 then take her home ,and go home myself figure out something to feed the crew here and then head out for church . Still not enough time for anything . I will probably be putting in a late nighter here at the house . Andy has the bathroom tore up trying to make it bigger and put in a new tub ,tolet ,and sink ,but we have only gotten as far as tearing the back wall out so right now you can take a bath and relize you also need to clean the garage too. he he . Thats right while taking a bath you have a fulll view of the garage . This is very nerve racking when everyone is home if you find you neeed to go to the bathroom (if you know what I mean) the other day I had to go and had finished up and was washing my hands and guess who walked in to the garage BRITTANY and MELVIN (oh my goodness ) thank GOD I was finished . GOD please for my sake let the bathroom be finished soon . This can be a very tricky situation. Luckly I work in the evenings and if i need to go im at work so this works out good ,but for today and tomorrow I'm walking in dangerous territory . Please pray its done soon ,before someone is damaged for life . (I'm not quite sure if it will be the viewer or the viewee .GOD HELP US BOTH)

always an adventure to be with damon

Well me and the boys went to Damons grave to place flowers on it . We had plans to make them just so so. since his headstone is not there yet with the vase in it we would have to arange them on the ground. You all relize it has not rain much if any for a good while ,well we pulled up as close as you can get to Damon's grave and what did we see? Did you guess? Not even 4 feet away they had placed of all things a sprinkler ! Great for the grass but not so great for us . or was it . see the kids didn't really want to go to the grave except for Michael. When we got there Michael didn't really want to get out until he saw the sprinkler And then the battle was on . You see you only had so long until the sprinkler would come around again so you had to time it just right, First Michael went and layed the flowers down but it didn't look right I said we got to fix that,so then Zac ran over and tried ,still not good enough.And all the while they are still running around trying to stay ahead of the sprinkler. Well then Noah jumps in and tries ,still not good enough. Well I let them take a few more tries at it and then while laughing my head off I knew that I would have to fix it . Well I wait till it passes then then run out and try to fix it the kids are laughing and screaming {in a grave yard mind you}ITS coming ,Its coming. Well I am to stiff to run so I just ducked as low as I could and finished it while getting soaked and laughing . Well as usual when ever we go see Damon we always have a great adventure. Thanks Damon . we love you

ROSES for DAMON

I went and picked up roses for Damon's grave today , They are really pretty . Some are orange ,sm bright yellow , some ivory. All very beautiful together. Of course all I really want is to see him. love you damon

another day

Well what can I say nothing much going on here .Looks like no assembly for us .It is probably just as well because my allergies are really acting up .Spent most of yesterday in the bed . But I Im glad to hear it is going great . That is always good to hear . Be glad when everyone gets back to hear the great news.

EEEEEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLLLLL

AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT MICHAEL SAYS I AM ,ALL BECUZ AT SAT DOWN AT THE PUTER WHEN HE WALKED IN THE DOOR. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ? THE THANKS I GET.

I'M BLESSED

You know I really didnt relize how Blessed I am . I read Michael's blog about IYC and man thats some thing else! Parents we dont relize some times just how spiritual are children are becoming . Growing in the Lord while we are not looking . I didn't even relize that he gave any thought to things at the assembly, other than we try to go every year. So I was totally amazed when he spoke of IYC being like the GEN ASSEMBLY in how GOD moves on his people and in the services. i'm blessed ,I'm blessed.You know they say that our children have to experince the world and the things of it {sinning} but i'm am finding that to be an untruth {except for the fact of being born in sin} GOD has touched my childrens hearts at a early age and along with our prayers has kept them from sin all the while they do have to live in this sinful world ,and not only that but while they are living in this world they are growing closer to the LORD and not farther apart . amazing . PEOPLE OUR GOD IS AWESOME. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!this is from a very happy and excited mother.

oh my goodness
