Prayers for Stellan


Prayers, Prayers, Prayers....... He's very weak, his SVT is taking a toll..he's clammy, pb is low, extremities are cold...


Oh God, Take care of this precious child..His parents need your love, strength, support..you are a mighty god and you know the plan for Stellan..

~~And Then Their Were Two~~

So......

I made the note in my last post I was going to make this next post better......

In the last 24 hours, I have had 2 women come to me for listening ears.. I am by no means a therapist, a genius, a know-it-all..but there is a few things I have come to realize..

For different reasons they came to me..and I believe without a doubt it was God's work. Back at the beginning when I first started this crazy blog thought..I thought who really is going to read my nonsense, crazy life anyhow..

BUT..


12 people later.. a few that stop by also.. I must say something to brighten their day..

Tonight, something spoke to me as I was looking at my bible sitting here on my desk..and I heard this thought (and no I've not lost my ooples) start another blog..

DO WHAT..

Another one..

I'm doing well honestly to keep on top of one let alone TWO..

Eventually this post will get underneath the others BUT.. over on the right side is a block....

It reads Prayer Requests and a link .. www.lordisourstrength.blogspot.com to my othe blog.. titled

..Matters to you matters to him..

So please if you would like to leave a request for whatever it might be..please do so..

No request is minimal..No request is silly..Each and everyone ..that matters to YOU matters to HIM.

Hugs,

Stephanie

Yes I'm still around ......believe it or not!!

I know.....I've went on Blog Haitus.......


I haven't felt the best........










I've had the worst headaches in my whole 30 years of life..........










They don't seem to be leaving...........or stopping..............






Makes me for a uncheery person................








But I'm reading my bible and still praising the Lord..........








I'll be back to post something a bit more exciting than this.........

Today..........Take 2

I started my title and then I hit a button and Poof. it sent it..so let's try this again.

It's Friday.........

Kat's coming home today...........

It's been a long week................

I'm sorry I haven't posted the last two days..............

Wednesday.. I was quite the hormonal mother..and ran through every emotion in a 12 hour period I do believe...Ending the day the best ever........In church and Praying..What a blessing ..as I sat at the alter and just let it out..And felt a huge relief..

So.........remember the last I spoke about paying in forward.. just doing one thing for someone..and what the blessing would be and in return you will recieve a blessing by God..

I did just what I said because really that would be crazy if I said it but didn't do it...

So I went and rounded up the clothes my kids have outgrown and posted them to freecycle.. They been picked up throughout the week and still going for tomorrow..
Also went poking in our storage....Giving it away..Anything that we DON'T use it's going on down..

Let me say it feels so good to bless others..No matter what the circumstance is..just a random act of kindness is soo beautiful..

..............................................................................
This week overall went really well...

I'm excited to see my girl tonight...I so hope she returned with all her stuff!!

That's it ..nothing to loud and crazy here......Just a few days recap in My Crazy Life!!

Have a beautiful weekend

Hugs,
Stephanie

Hmm..This & That...

Honestly ....

I think today has dragged on forever enough~~

Let's roll backwards.............

K..my babygirl..yes who will be 11 soon ..HA..woke me up and let me say..her voice can carry~~~... At 7 a.m. wheew ..She's all HI MOM!! What a HELLO!! BUT I was soo glad to hear her voice so all was well.. She was off to a day of breakfast..swimming..paddle boating...awww..How cute..that would've been to see..more eating..(and she is EATING..awesome ..one worry down..HA..more swimming..and service which she really enjoys(the best part)I enjoyed listening too..

Oh and back to the swimming and water....
Okay so this right here....






Honestly has been the talk of the house since we started discussing camp really....

Seeing pictures of children ~~FLYING~~through the air..Oh makes my stomach raise into my throat..

All I can picture is someone jumping on the blob and K going so high..

Well..

This morning when she shouted HELLO...lol..She said Mom, We're off to play in the river and go check out the BLOB..oh talk about praying..praying..

As I drilled and drilled..DO NOT ENTER THAT WATER UNLESS YOU HAVE A VEST STRAPPED TO YOUR BODY!!...

So..this is how our conversation went this afternoon:

K~ Hi Mom, How are you? What are you doing? I hear Ky aka lil k screaming..

Mom~ Hi Honey, I'm fine ,How are you ..good ..fantastic..me too .. yea ky is mad..Her and lil J are not getting along the least bit. today..

Mom again~ You eat today?

K~ Yea for breakfast I had Eggs, Sausage, Toast, ..Sheew she ate like a queen..HA.. and for lunch Corndogs..

And Mom the best part..I went on the BLOB..oh jesus I thought..lord do I want to hear what's coming out of her mouth next?

K~ The first time she said..I just popped of a little ..didn't get very high.....

AND THEN..

Someone bounced onto it ..and mom no kidding I flew like 7 feet in the air....

HA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Now tell me I was so hoping her 7 ft. and my exact 7 ft. were so unaccurate..

I'm like you so better be careful..and Kat..really you might want to keep the 7ft. distance on the down low from your father..He will prob. have a anxiety attack..

K~~Oh and I road the paddleboat today..It was so fun..We went out and out..oh heavens to betsy ..I kept thinking..

I kept praying lord keep my baby safe..let her have a best time but keep her safe~~

So loved my call from my girl..

Not loving how lil k & lil j woke up with the intent this morning to drive their mother bonkers....

Let's see ..I finished paperwork for fall semester..just awaiting date for pickin my good ole books!!

I do want to say that I am so thankful, blessed to be the recipient of a blessing I recieved last week!!

Let's see here....As long as I've been in college ..which honestly is not as long as it feels its been.. I have broke my classes in between on campus and online..well..of course since I have a hubby, and two children who love the computer and tinker on it..finding time to do my own school work without loosing a substantial amount of sleep is far and few between..

So..mom has NEEDED/wanted a laptop..Would make life a bit easier..

and...some have heard of Freecycle..some say it can be awesome at times..

I thought well all else fails I can get one in Oct. when my student loans come in but in the mean time..let's just really pray for this ..and put a note out their looking for one.. I did post and ta da..response the next day!!

This person said he had one ready, just sitting here..and his words were it can be yours!! Say What..Do What..? Yes, yours .. I fix these and give away!!

I know.. some are thinking.. if it sounds to good to be true..probably is..NOT IN THIS CASE..

After running a few errands..I sped home in my soccer mom van..steamed full ahead to my desk here.. and plugged her in(my pc)and oh she is B-e-a-t-i-f-u-l!! I was dancing with the laptop..really I was hugging it and crying because I was so thankful, I mean so grateful for ones kindness to do something for others that they by no means had to do..

So...now i'm waiting to get a router for it**wheew**some are expensive..but I can't wait to use it..No more having to worry about my school stuff dissapearing with a poke of ones finger!!

So in that thought.. With all the odds and ends items around here that are getting dusty I'm posting them on freecycle for others to use..

And so I'm thinking...I encourage each and everyone to do a random act of kindness..no you don't have to go way above and beyond..a little goes a LONG ways!!

Last thought..my last post..had something to do with reading...and I was told ..books are on the way!! So shopaholic reading here I go!! In some ways not a shopaholic..others yes..I guess for corny things like fabric and yarn..eventhough I have yet to sew a stitch or continue ones blanket I started..it is like it calls you near..HA.. So..Mrs. Jill ..I'll be watching out the glass door!! HA..

I need to be shopping for a new purse..that is for sure ..soon real soon!!

So..K called awhile ago to say Goodnight..To hear her excitement and how much fun she's having is all worth the quiet here!! I think she just likes the use of that phone..hopefully she'll remember when she returns mommas taking it back..HA..lol

Hugs & thanks for stickin it out through this long post!!

Missin My Girl..........

I miss my girl.........

I wrote on facebook.....I miss my Girl.....One wrote grab a book(which i'll admit isn't one of my most favorite things to do, it has to be very real and catch me at a HELLO!!)..lol

Next. Sewing..Uh..the thought gives my blood pressure some raising..HA..Sounds like ALOT of fun though..
....................................................

My 10 year that thinks she is tooo BIG for her skirt...

She called this afternoon ..which was about 2 p.m. ..

I heard her voice say Hi Mom..and yea I'll say it ..I teared up..

I was strong this morning..I just teared a minute or two........I was driving her to church and looked in my rear view mirror and she smiled so beautifully...

Time has went slow today..

I need to really find something to keep my brain busy...

Or I'll be wondering if she's:
Minding in Service

Eating

Bathing

Brushing

Sleeping

Consuming Food of any Goodness

Checkin out Boys

Minding her manners..lord knows she tends to slip at home..

Hopes to all goodness she thinks before she speaks..

O well..Nothing I can do about any of this but pray, pray and more prayer that she comes home blessed with a fresh spirit(and not as much attitude).

Love & The evening is Drawing Near..

Hugs,

Stephanie

Happy 4th!!

I am sending Wishes for a Beautiful Happy 4th Independence Day!!

I hope everyone is having a Blessed Day and a Relaxing Weekend!!

K is packed & ready for Camp!! Everything is ready including a phone for her to take for need be..

She's off to a week of refreshing,praying,worshipping,activities,meeting new friends swimming, and everything else she'll be doing for 5 days!! I think the thing that gets me is she has for the most part been at home. So for 5 whole days I won't know what she is doing at what times. I just leave in Gods hands that she will have a great time and get out of camp whatever it might be she is searching for(excluding boy looking)!!

So.....Wishing you happiness on this Holiday....

Hugs,

Stephanie
