It's been too long!!

It's been way way way too long!! I am back to the blogger world though!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We had a different Christmas... It was weird not having mom there and everything was different but we made it through better than I ever expected. We had Christmas day at Aunt Angie and Uncle Shane,s house to make things different and I think that helped. I missed getting to do my usual shopping with mom and her helping me know what to get people, she always told me what to get people but I realized that the best gift I could have this year was the rest of the family around us!

On December 9, 2011 my Great Grandfather passed away. He was such a great man and I miss him so much. He was always stirring up some kind of trouble and he was always coming up with some kind of crazy story. He was always keeping the staff at the nursing home and my Nannie and Aunt Kathy on their toes! He was always wanting someone to bring him a car to the nursing home and could not understand why they wouldn't lol.

On another note... God is preparing me and Nick for a new Chapter in or lives (more information to come). I wanted to share something that God revealed to me on Wednesday....God used a situation on Wednesday to reveal to me that He was preparing me. Wednesday I was doubting that I would be able to handle certain situations that I am going to come head to head with. I was asking myself if I would be too emotional or would not be strong enough to handle these certain situations, and as usual God revealed to me just what I needed Him too. He Revealed to me that he was preparing me emotionally for all the up and down situations...for all the long days and nights...that he was preparing me and Nick and making us stronger as a couple but also as individuals and that He was going to be right there every step of the way!!! He revealed to me that every road He takes me and Nick on that He is going to be there for us every step of the way and that He WILL PREPARE ME FOR EVERY SITUATION! For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV) So as God takes me and Nick down the roads He has planned for us...I am ready and I will trust Him and know that He will prepare me for whatever He has planned!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
