~Currently Reading~

I am currently reading this book "Created to be His Help Meet". My niece recommended it to me. My desire is to be the "Help Meet" that God intended for me to be. I know we have to live and learn, and sadly my "selfish" ways have gotten in the way. I know it is not too late to change, and I thank God for that. So far what I have read has made me stop and think and pray that God will continue to help me be all I can be for Him and for Tom.

~New Year~

Happy New Year everyone!! I decided to start the New Year out right, and write on my blog. 2011 ended very well with me and my family, we spent it together. We had our family Christmas on New Year's Eve. What a great time we all had. 2012 didn't start out the greatest for me, not feeling well, means no Church on the New Year's. Stayed home and slept about all day. I pray that this new year, God will help me to grow in Him, and to so His will. I had so many struggles last year, and I know I could not have gotten through them all without Him. He is ever faithful to me. Here are a few pictures of my family.

~Prayers~

Please pray for my sister in law, Trish. Her and her family are on vacation visiting her family in MO, and she ended up in the hospital, in St Louis. She has an infection in her colon, and are running more test on her today. She is hoping to get out today, so please pray for her and her husband .

~Update~

Please continue to pray for my Mom. Yesterday I went and spent some time with her, and she did not want me to leave. She told me that all she wants to do is sleep, she is not hungry and when she thinks of going to Church she gets very nervous and upset to her stomach. This is NOT like my Mom. She is one of the BEST Prayer warriors that I know. She is going to try and get into the doctor tomorrow. My family is very concerned for her, and we HATE to see her like this. She is the song leader at our Church, and she called our pastor yesterday to tell him that she did not want to lead the singing. He encouraged her to keep doing it, because He feels like this will help her. I appreciate the prayers that you have prayed so far and will continue to pray for her. I wish you all could know my precious Mom.
Growing up she was always there for me, know matter what I needed or what time of the day or night that I needed her , she was always there. When I need prayers I can count on her to be there to pray with me. What a Godly woman she is.

~Prayers~

Please remember my sweet Mother in your prayers. In the last few months she has been through so much physically. It started out with a kidney stone, then shingles and now she is fighting depression. This year she turned 79 and is the sweetest Mom anyone could ever ask for. I hate seeing her like this. I know she would appreciate your prayers.
