8 years can you believe it! What a joy she has been. I am consistently amazed every day by the light she brings into this world. I am forever grateful by the faithfulness of our Lord that he has given her the strength to persevere through so much and keep SMILING. I was reminded just yesterday by a mom who’s little girl lost her life how blessed we are. And we are so blessed each and every day. Thank you all for you faithfulness in praying for her. You all have be warriors in this battle and without you we would not be on this mountain top. Enjoy sharing in part of her day yesterday we wish we could of shared it with y’all.

Sleep…. What is that? I think my body has forgotten how to do this vital thing. For some reason this past month I have been waking up between 2 and 4am and have not been able to go back to sleep. I was sure it has been the Lord needed me to pray for the many tragedies that have been going on in the lives of my nearest and dearest friends. So I pray, then I work, then I facebook, then I clean, then I lay back down and pray more…. and pray I sleep. What is my place? Is my place in this world meant to be the many sleepless nights spent doing the odd things I do, or am I doing something wrong? Am I just not sleeping because I am spending my kids college fund at Starbucks? I am thankful for the many hours that I have had with the Lord this last month. I am sure I never would of had if he would of not waken me up and asked me for it… As embarrassing as it is I have had the most time with him this last month than I have in a year… So maybe if I give him time during the day he will let me sleep? Words for thought for my soul. I will try tomorrow to spend time with him during the waking hours and let you know if I sleep tomorrow night! I guess if the worst thing happens I get to have awesome naps during the days and quite times with Jesus in the morning. Praise God for the Little things….

I am praising God that my kids went trick or treating this year. We have had many Halloweens where we spent them in the hospital and Ty’s trick or treating was in the “play room”. Not that he cared, I don’t think he remembers… I do it makes me feel like crap. I hate that he has always missed out on things because of his sister. We tell him that what families do, we make sacrifices for each other… and they do. But he has made plenty. So this year I am BLESSED that we were all healthy and went trick or treating. They have a ton of candy they are going to be sick and maybe get a cavity but I don’t care!!!! Whoohoo!!!!!
