My Girls

While going through some pics this evening I found this picture that my husband took on Easter and just had to share it. I am blessed with 2 beautiful girly girls who also happen to have enough personality and attitude to share! I also have a son who is definitely not a picture person and he is also painfully shy. I adore them!


We just returned from my daughter's dance competition and they did great! I am so proud of them. They received a gold on one and a sterling silver on the other. They were let down because they did not place over all and one of them made a comment that they felt like the judges perferred more " suggestive'" dance moves and music that wasn't christian. I was so happy to hear that they already know that they are a little different and need to act a little different because of what they believe. My daughter said that she would rather dance to Toby Mac (they preformed to Ill-m-I) any day because it is so much better than all that other stuff anyway! I was so happy and I am also so fortunate that my daughter is able to do something that she loves and not make compromises!

God Stop Friday

It has been a little while since I last posted. Life has been really crazy for the last couple of weeks. Which leads me to my 1st God stop.

1. I am home this evening! Now I am not getting the opportunity to completely relax, but I am in my home and not running around doing something esle. I have been on the go for weeks now, but this week was particularly rushed. On Monday I took dinner to a couple at our church that just had a beautiful baby girl. On Tuesday a good friend of mine's father passed away and we(me and 2 other friends) went to the funeral. On Wed. I helped a friend in need( physically and mentally- if you knew her you would understand). On Thurs. my daughter had practice for a dance competition this weekend (please pray for her and her teammates) but I also received a phone call from a friend who had some tests done because her doctor was sure that she had kidney cancer and PRAISE GOD she did not and we were able to rejoice on the phone together.

2. I was rushing (okay -speeding) to a play that my daughter was in at school and one of my favorite songs, Shackles, came on the radio and I was able to praise him as loudly and as off key as I wanted because there was no one to cover their ears and beg for mercy. It was great.
