Happy New Year!!

Even though it is the 14th day of January, I'm still going to say.....Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!  For the record, I did NOT chow down on greens, black eyed peas etc. YUCK! LOL!

2011 was a good year overall! So much happened in my life. LOTS of changes and if you know me, you know I don't like changes and don't handle them well, but the Lord helped me to get through them and I'm hoping that 2012 will be even better! Here's a few of the things that happened last year, in no particular order......

BIG Day of Thanks!!!

Day 10 ~ Today I am SOOO THANKFUL for my FUTURE BROTHER IN LAW, Rodney !! I'm so excited that he will be apart of our family!! :)


I am so so so so super excited!! YAYNESS!!!! My bestest twin sister in the whole wide world just got engaged on Tuesday!! Yes, I knew about it but had to keep it hush hush!!

CONGRATULATIONS ALLISON & RODNEY!!!!!!!

Seven, Eight & Nine

So I decided to write several in one post.  If you are on Facebook, then you are seeing these daily anyway! :)

Day 7~ So thankful for the freedoms we have in this country! The most important to me would be the freedom of worship. I love being able to worship my Heavenly Father openly in my home, in my car, at my church, wherever and whenever!! We so often take this particular freedom for granted. I think about the pastor in Iran who has been on trial for preaching the gospel and denouncing Islam. I can't even comprehend what he and his family are going through. Please forgive us Lord for taking our freedoms for granted.

Day 8 ~ So very thankful for such a beautiful and colorful world we live in!! I can't even imagine a place with no sunshine, no blue sky, no beautiful flowers and trees to look at. Thank you Lord for showing us Your Presence through your creation!!
  

                                  

I took the above picture on my iPhone. Beautiful!!!!

Day 9 ~ Today I am so thankful for my sister, Allison! Thankful for her sweet and giving heart. Thankful for her willingness to help out when I need her and she expects nothing in return. Thankful that she loves my babies and treats them as if they were hers. Thankful for the things she has been through in her life that have made her into a strong and independent but truly loving and caring woman. I pray that God will bless her tremendously in all areas of her precious life. ♥ you Dee-deed!!
