What Doesn't Make Us Crumble.. Will Make Us Stronger**

I know... I know.. those aren't the exact correct words.. but you get where I'm heading ...

Making this short & sweet..

Mrs. Stephanie is finishing up with studying for finals..Lord Help Me..Survive..

I have my heart and mind with Aimee & Adam Freeman..Continue to take some time to lift up prayers for them..Kayleigh is so precious and eventhough I believe God's plan is supreme..I still have the questioning of why on these matters..We have to believe in our God's reasoning that it's his plan of timing.. NOT OURS!!

The love Aimee & Adam have for God and the strength with love wrapped around it is unmeasurable..

FYI... If you watch the show "The Doctors" you should sit, watch and DVR like me today because This Precious Family will be on there today!!

Hug the ones you love..(feel free to even get one to the ones you don't love so much).. It'll be worth it..

****Hello..Anyone see the latest Friends Followers... There are 10 of you.. Probably gobs more but are petrified to begin to follow..fear that I'm really a koo koo nut.. (I'm not ..I promise..Just the momma warden)

..I have love for my blog as it means so much to me.. I remember back when I thought or was told I was NUTS for having a blog.. but I am so thankful for each and everyone of you all that stop by...

I'm out.. Blessings to you!!

Let's Take Some Time

As I type this I can't help but cry...

Many of you know that Miss Kayleigh Freeman grew her wings and is in heaven now. Her mother Aimee writes that Kayleigh went on to be with Jesus last night..

I am literally speechless with the unability to murmur words but I will catch the tears streaming down my cheeks..

Oh my heart aches with pain, sadness, tears just flow because I can't even begin to imagine what it is like to lose a child. My deepest love and sincerity goes to the Freeman family..

Here is an excerpt of the beautiful words Aimee & Adam wrote on their post...

"Kayleigh, we know our life on earth is just a spec of time compared to the life we have in eternity with you and our Lord. We look forward to the day that we can pick you up and swing you around, dancing, singing and worshipping together. I am sure that your journey to Heaven was greeted with many open arms.

We are so very proud of you for everything you have done in such a short period of time. You've showed us what strength truly is, what determination truly is and what love truly is. There will not be a day that passes that we won't look at your photos and remember how awesome you felt in our arms. Your soft skin that brushes our lips and your tiny little hands that grip our fingers for comfort will always be missed.

We will never get to tuck you in your own bed at night and we will never get to pick you up when you fall. We will never get to hold your hand while you cross the street and I will never get to walk you down the aisle, but please know that your Mommy and I are so blessed that God gifted us with your love, even if it was only for a very short period of time. You will always be in our hearts and we can't wait until we meet again. We love you endlessly and we already miss you so very much! Goodbye Sweetheart...for now."

To each and everyone of you ...love one another..and take a moment and pray for the Freeman family in this time..

Huge Hugs,

Stephanie

Really Has It Been... Take 2

I know... I know..

I've probably lost have of my lady blog friends...so hopefully I still have at least have left..Which i'm thankful for each one. Each one of them I find humour, tears, sadness, joy and love ...yes each of those eventhough this is mostly through online capabilities...

So yea it's been how many days...I'm thinking like about two weeks..HOLY MACARONI..Long time..

Alot has been going on..(Dare I let you into the craziness? Well if I did, you'd get bored and probably nod off at your desk or comfy seat..

Let's try to speel out a quick version of these last days:

Kat's arm is healing well... continue to wear brace just when leaving house..go back in a couple weeks(Note to self..find dr. card for appt.time) lol

The 28th of April ..it had been a year my M.I.L passed away from pancreatic cancer. I miss her so incredibly much but I also know she wanted to go onto see jesus and she's not hurting so that's comforting to know.

We've ran here and there and everywhere..soccer to baseball..rained out soccer to rained to baseball..

Piddling around the house...(job never down.. do you feel like me and it could be all you ever do).. I know right.. CRAZY

Finishing down the line of final exams for college semester..Lord help me .. I am about burnt out this semester..Ready for our break..

Oh break.. yea my kids are out of school next friday..Oh jesus help us..BUT..wait..June 1 oh yea..summer school..we come..I know Mrs. Stephanie is a mean momma who does mean business when it comes to summer school..(they still have 2 months after that..they'll be fine)

Ope..Junior camp for K..one week away with church..She is excited ..me not so much..Did I mention AWAY for ONE week? Just checking

OH >>>OH>>>..How it slipped my mind..we were supposed to have storms last night..hmmm. Didn't..Praise God..

But as I was trying to mustar up enough energy to get moving this morning, I noticed outside was very dark..Not night time dark.. like oh my getting ready to have storms..sirens take cover...

Mind you ..every since 2003 my hubby and I were out on the highway driving back home and literally experienced a tornado nearly grazing our car. Oh yea..not a fan..

So, the more I listened to the radio this morning, I heard warning after warning..tornadoes spotted in again every direction around us. Hubby drives a truck and was heading NE where they were moving. It seemed to be the worse was after the initial storms.

Let me say here...this is on the list of scary as scary gets..

Being on the phone with someone when you hear sirens, hear the wind..(freight trains), giving you a play by play of how ENORMOUS this tornado is ..right beside..
I was praying and crying and praying more with feeling like my breathe was being compressed...A few of the scariest moments in my 30 years..

He finished working and made it home safely..Around lunch by looking outside, you never would've known we just had storms roll through by looking at the bright sunshine..but shocked with as much damage that has been documented..

So as I end my updated M.I.A post..my new thing I love is fb also known as facebook. There is a Farm Town app which I love..love..

I'm a city girl but I love my farm and my planting of crops....

So if you happen to be on facebook ..come find me..and we'll farm together..

Huge Hugs & happy farming,

Stephanie
