"Isaac & his Great-Grandmother Maw-Maw"

Maw-Maw & Isaac....on his Birth Day!

She said he brings "Great Joy" to her life.

There will be lots of "Rocking" going on here!!!

Little Isaac came along when there wasn't much joy in our lives. He brings a new beginning in this chapter of life, in our family story. I see great things going on with him here....he has no idea what love we have for him. How could he??? He is way to new to know that. Look at the love she has for him. You can see the love in her eyes... Is that not wonderful? He will know one day what joy he had brought to us. I am going to make sure he knows he was loved.......is loved........and forever will be LOVED!!!

I've Got Sunshine...even when my world is Cloudy

Thank God for the precious gift of love....and salvation. I say this in due part because of the way I am feeling these days. I don't know if one day is going to be anymore better than the next. I have been through so much the past few months. I really don't know where I would be if it were not for his love, salvation, and the gift of forgivness. I know he must get tired of forgiving me so much every day. I call upon him almost constantly. Keep us in your prayers......thank you. More later....Karen

~Friends~

Friends~What makes a friend? It takes a lot of caring and sharing. In the photo below are two of the best people in the world. They have been our friends now for a long while. They don't judge us, they care about us. And we know it. Special is not a word to describe them...it is more than special. It is a friendship that is indescribable, a rare friendship that you don't often have. We, Shane and I, are blessed beyond measure in this friendship. Thank you Yogi & Nancy...Much Love!

I Want To Be Humbled in God's Spirit

The Elephant ...Beautiful!

My Favorite Animal ...Thank-you God for such a lovely creature!

Like the elephant, I feel as if I am a giant. And elephants are giants. But if you really look at the elephant, they are humbled creatures. Only when provoked do they become enraged with pride and anger. Pride can change a person. I am ashamed to say that sometimes I am too full of pride. I let things build up and then I let pride take over. Pride is harmful in some ways. You can sometimes be too prideful to say many things like I'm sorry, I love you, or even admit when you are wrong. Take in consideration Proverbs Chapter 8:13-"The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate." Then Proverbs Chapter 29:23-"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." I don't want to be so full of pride that I forget how to be humble in spirit. I don't want to hate, nor do I want to be hated. I want to be used by God to reach someone with something from him. I often get comfortable in my own zone. I don't want to be that way. I don't want to get so into my ways that I forget about why God sent me here. I don't want to be like that. I am asking God to change me. I want to be different. If I have to be a warrior, then I want to be a warrior in God's army. I don't want to see a battle in my life... for me. I want a battle for God's Glory.

Hello....is anyone there???

Hello...is anyone there??? I need to speak to someone...somewhere. I am in total dispair. I feel like I am the only person in the world right now. I often wonder if anyone ever feels this same way? Why? Why do I feel like this? I have asked God for his guidance...but I don't think he is hearing me! I need devine intervention now!! Not in 1 day..or 1 week...1 month...1 year!!! I need him to intervene now. If calling him on the phone would do any good...then I would. But I don't think the phone number is listed....for Heaven.

Come on God...answer now!!!
PLEASE!!!!

~Friends for a Lifetime~

Of all the things we get out of life, friendship means everything. And Shane & Billy / Lindsay & Hannah have became friends, as well as Joan & I. Friendship is special. Nothing can compare when you just hit it off right away. Friendship is something you have to work at too. Calling someone your friend is special. I have many people I call my friend, but it takes that personal up-keep(as us country folks say) to be special friends. I think this friendship is for a lifetime. I can hardly wait to see what God does in our lives...may we enjoy each other for a lifetime!!! Thank you God!!!

~Wilmington: What it took to win~

There have been lots of things said about the win. What it took to win, determination to get that winning goal! Get it they did! Lindsay scored the winning goal for that game, but could not have done it without her teammates! She needed all of them to do it. It was team effort all day. Everyone helping each other ful-fill their desire to WIN!!! Kayla & Daphine
