Wow! It has been a long time since my last post - what can I say, I found Facebook and have been communicating thru there. I have been missing this so I'm going to start it up again. So much has happened it the last two years - Sis is a Sr. this year and Bub a Sophomore - I can't believe it. Bub broke his arm Spring of 2009 and Scott's brother passed away just before Christmas 2009 - I think we are all still trying to grasp this. After Steven passed, Scott went to the dr. to get himself checked out and we were told he needed open heart surgery very, very soon. Our family was still grieving the loss of Steven - only a couple months had passed at this point, and now we were getting this news. Scott went thru the surgery on March 5, 2010, and is doing amazingly well. He is back at work, and other than a scar and he quit smoking, you wouldn't know we had gone thru this.
You would think that I would have so much more to update after nearly two years, but after the holidays in 2008, Bub broke his arm, work got crazy, holidays again and Steven passed, then preparing for Scott's surgery took a huge toll on this year - plus there was just normal life stuff - basketball, prom, homecoming, work, etc. I was thinking about how in 2008 - just before my "blogging" hiatus, I had gone on a mission trip to China. I was on a mountaintop, and must say, I was a little proud of myself for going - that was so far out of my comfort zone, I sometimes still can't believe I was obedient enough to go. I am so glad God allowed me to go; He so blessed me with that trip, but then immediately "life" happened and I found myself just trying to get by. I have been seeking and growing and thankful to God for that, but using this medium to share just lost its place in the schedule.
I wanted to use this blog to just unload thoughts, update about my family, journal what God is doing and showing me, and just to share life - however, that may look. I have written quite a few devotionals over the last few months and am going to try to get them loaded on here soon.
If you happen to read, please post a comment now and then, that is always encouraging. Hopefully, I will update soon and not in another two years.

I am loving reading your posts. I didn't know you had one already so these are all new to me. I always love hearing your heart.
Write more! I love it!
Thanks to both of you - Karen, you are the one that inspired me again and the Exquisite Conference, getting the devotional emails out was a really sweet time for me with our Lord.
