Show Cancelled

Well I just found out today that our Fifth Sunday Showcase has been cancelled due to lack of participation. A lot of people are going to be out of town for the Memorial Day Holiday so we are going to try to do it again on another night. I am still glad that I was able to overcome my stage fright and commit to singing a song. For those of you who don't know me, that is so out of the box for me!!!! Not the committing to something part, but the singing a song in front of the whole church part. =) I got some of the books in that I ordered for Nursing School. I actually ordered Cliffs notes for Anatomy and Physiology. I hope that it does me some good for the class that I need to take this fall. I also ordered some practice tests so that I can see what kind of questions will be on the entrance exam. I am very excited about the future. I can't wait to get started. In a few months, once school starts, I will probably be writing about how sick I am of school. Oh well, until then I will keep an open mind. I hope that since I have chosen something that is close to my heart I will feel differently about classes and studying. We will just have to wait and see.

Until next time.
Blessings and Peace to you all.

Life (A Second Chance To Give Him Praise)

Life is such a funny thing. You never really know where it will lead you. I have signed up to sing a song at our Church's 5th Sunday Showcase next weekend. I never would have imagined that I would be brave enough to stand on a stage in front of a group of people and sing a song. A fellow Praise Team member, Bud has agreed to learn the guitar part of the song so that we can sing on stage together while he plays the song for us. I was talking with Bud this afternoon at Church and he said to me, "You always have to be on your toes with God, you never know what He will ask you to do." That is so true. Sometimes he calls you to do things that scare you to death. The best thing of all is that when you know that he is with you, the fear goes away. I am very excited that he has called me to share a song with everyone. The song that I chose is called, "I'm Still Yours". This song really means a lot to me because it talks about still giving praise to God even when things aren't going your way. Even when your world is falling down around you, He deserves your appreciation for the life that he has given you. My prayer is that it touches someone else's heart the way it touched mine.



As the school year drawls to an end my boys seem to be struggling more than ever. Andy and Ronnie are getting very restless and are ready for the year to be over. They have gotten in trouble on the bus, at school and at home quite a bit. I am praying that they will make it for the next two weeks with no more trouble. I have a lot planned for us this summer together. I have not been off work during the summer sine Ronnie was 6 months old. I hope that we can reconnect and have a great time. We have all had such a difficult year we really need some together time.



I have decided to go back to school this fall. I am going to study Nursing. I ordered a study guide this past week so that I can get started studying for the entrance exam. I hope that I get picked for the program that starts next January. I will have to take Human Growth and Development, A&P and Medical Terminology this fall in order to qualify for my application. I am very excited about this turn around in my life. I have been praying that God would lead me to a job that I really enjoy. One that I will be proud of and that I have a passion for. I am so grateful that He has sent me this opportunity to pursue my dreams.

Amazing Weekend

Hello Everyone,
I had such an amazing weekend. On Saturday I went to see The Gaither Homecoming concert in Fort Worth with all of my family. It was Myself, Kim, Kim's mom Barb, my mom Debbie, my mother-in-law Sylvia and my niece Emma. We had a girls day to celebrate Mother's Day. I was so excited when I got to meet The Martins. A little while after Jolianne had passed away I was watching the Gaither music show and The Martins came on and sang a song called The Promise. I cried through the entire song. It touched my heart soooo much. It was so awesome to get to meet them and take a picture with them!!! We had an all day venture. We met for Lunch at T.G.I.Fridays, then we went to the concert from 3:00 until 7:30. I didn't get home until almost 10:00. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family to spend time with. On Saturday Jeremy took the boys on a Father/Son day out. They went to Tyler and watched How to Train Your Dragon. Ronnie had been wanting to see that movie for a while now. I am glad that the guys also got to have some fun. On Sunday we went to church and then to my Mom's house for lunch with my brother Zach and sister-in-law Stacy. My dad made some really good steaks!!! We exchanged gifts and then spend some time talking together. My boys picked out a beautiful bed set for me. It is my favorite color, green. Now let me tell you a little story about green blankets. My husband hates green. HATES IT. Since we have been married I have not been allowed to get any sheets or bedding that is green. But this year he was OK with me having my favorite color of bed sheets. That was so sweet. It is actually a cream color with green palm leaves on it, it is very comfy also.

Ronnie has started playing baseball. He is on the Red Sox this year, number 10. He has been playing outfield so far. I hope that the coach will let him play a little infield. He is a lot more focused this year than last year. He pays attention and does not play in the dirt or pick flowers like he did last year. I hope that he has a good season. He really loves playing baseball.
