I have been reading some of the other blogs on my site and boy does it give me hope!! Take little Miss Faith , for instance. God has blessed her mommy with 8 terrific days and ones that Im sure she is cherishing every minute of every day. I saw her picture and she is so beautiful. I cry every time I see her but then Holly will tell you I cry easy over anything and everything. But, then I am a woman and thats what I do. It helps me release stress.
It's the thing I pray for. Valuable time with our Carleigh, and lots of it. I pray for the other mothers who have yet to have their babies also and hope they have the time they long for too. I feel in my heart God won't take these precious children without giving something back to remember. I Love You Lord for all you do for us, hearing our prayers, and wiping our tears, and whispering to us when it is in the silence of the day.

Comfort
Trying to find something that would help me I started looking in my Bible for answers
and came acroos these few verses.
Psalm 34:18
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
John 14:1
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, trust also in me."
Isaiah 25:8
"The Sovereign Lord will wipe away
the tears from all faces."

Baby
This is absolutely beautiful! Enjoy!
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending
me to earth Tomorrow, but
how am I going to live there being so small and
helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will
take care of you"
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here
in heaven I don't have to do
anything but sing and smile to be happy>"
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and
will also smile for you. And you
will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to
be able to understand when
people talk to me if I don't know the
language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most
beautiful and sweet words you
will ever hear, and with much patience and
care, your angel will teach you
how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands
together and will teach you how to pray>"
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if
it means risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not
see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you
about Me and will teach you
the way to come back to Me, even though I will
always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
but voices from earth could
be heard and the child hurriedlyasked, "God,
if I am to leave now, please
tell me my angel's name."
"You will simply call her, "Mom."
Lift a mother's spirit, send this to every mother you know

Audrey and Kyndra
I just wanted to say how much I love these little girls and how much they mean to me. I'm the grandma but they are my life and I would lay my life down for them. I can never get enough of them. They come and I love to play with them. And when they leave I miss them and they may not even be out of the driveway yet. Isn't that love? I know when they are here I soak it all up and dont want to miss a moment. They are walking now and jabbering (which is a favorite) and somehow they capture my heart everytime.
I am so sad I wont have that with Carleigh, that it is all taken from us. Maybe some blog I will write more on Carleigh, right now I cant it just hurts to much. Why does it have to hurt so much? And when the girls come and they come running (if you call it running) to me and I scoop them up and give them hugs and kisses it helps with my pain. They are a big help to grandma and they dont even know it, they just love you unconditionally. I thank God for our little miracles every day.

Grandma's Heart
How do I heal? Where are the answers I am looking for? I know they are there and I know that my God answers prayers and heals the hearts that are broken. My heart feels so broken and my spirit beat down. And I love my LORD so much. But, some days are good and some days are bad, and I try to be strong. I guess I was a little nieve to think a GRANDMA'S HEART wouldn't hurt as much as my daughters. But it does.
I need to get to the place where I'm comforted and I'm not there. Guess, I need to take more time for me and devotions and prayer. Oh, my little Carleigh, I Love You so very much, and I know that someday you will be healed and whole. And I am so happy for that thought of you. But, I am living in the now where it hurts. I can't wait to see you,hold you, and kiss you. I love you my darling daughter for the gift you are giving, the strenght you are showing. Forgive mefor breaking down when as your mother I should be strong for you.
My love for Carleigh is so deep and strong, as a grandma's should be, that I know I have to get to that place to find the strength and comfort I long for.
Help Me JESUS!!!!!!!

Church
I just wanted to write something about today at church. We have found a new church and we have absolutely fell in love with the pastor and his family, the new friends we are making, and the great atmosphere that surrounds it all. I believe that the Lord put us here for a reason and we are so happy. For the first time in a LONG time we are truly happy. We are the lucky ones I think because Katrina, Jason, and Audrey attend the same church too. And when Holly, Anthony, and Kyndra are home they attend there also. I am so lucky that we all can go to church together as a family to worship and fellowship.
I don't know why we wait so long, but, as we get older we realize time is going by so quickly and our mortality becomes so much clearer. I hope that we have taught our daughters the importance of worshipping God and regularly attending church. I think we have since they are both strong in the church and attend also. Now we are seeing our grandchildren being raised in the church. Talk about making your heart proud!!!!!!
I have always taught the girls the importance of being there and giving back to the Lord. He will bless you if you give it back to him. I tell them he understands your struggles and when it is difficult to give but, when you can then you give more. I truly believe with my whole heart that John and I have what we do because we have been faithful and given to him and he has rewarded us for that faithfullness. I certainly have seen others struggle with life and all it can throw at you, and for the ones I know most are not where they need to be. So, this is my learning tool for my children, because they see it not just hear it.
But, the thing that I told the girls the most growing up was that I wanted them to grow in the Lord and do what the Lord asked of them so that when we leave this earth I know that someday we will all be together again. I don't ever want to be apart from each other. It's important for me as a mother to want us ALL to be together as a family in HEAVEN.
Again, for the first time in a LONG time I enjoy going to church so much that I can't wait for the next Sunday to get here and that is all because of our new church and new family.
A great big THANKS to our new family for making us feel welcome and loved. We can now say we have a NEW HOME CHURCH!!!! One that is well grounded in our Lord and Saviour.
THANK YOU JESUS for Leading us HOME!!!!!

Motherhood
I have been reading all the blogs lately and decided I wanted one of my own, so my daughter Holly set it up for me, since I am not very computer savy. I started thinking of the things I could write and motherhood came to my head first. You see I am the proud mother of 2 very beautiful daughters, Katrina and Holly. From the beginning of my marriage I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom because there is no greater job on earth, and the blessings are bountiful. I thank the Lord that I was able to achieve my goal.
I think the question I always encountered was "What do you do all day?" or "Oh, you're a stay at home mom" like it was or is a disease. I know many would argue and it would probably bring on a big debate but there is no greater joy and I think many who are in my shoes would agree with me. Believe me, there was plenty to do, as a matter of fact there was never enough time in the day to get it all done.
Looking back now I even wonder how I got anything done. My girls were 14 months apart and besides all the usual household things to do I canned from our garden on top of it. Amazing what we can do in our 20's!!!!!! There are no words to describe how happy and blessed I am. Being a mother has been my greatest joy and accomplishment in life. The graduations and weddings brought tears to my eyes but, the day my grandchildren were born was indescribable. The tears would not stop flowing.
I have now watched my grandaughters grow up to be a year old already and time really does fly as we get older. I love Audrey and Kyndra so much that once again it is hard to find the words. I love spending time with them, playing on the floor with them, feeding them, rocking them (my favorite) giving them a bath and anything else I decide to do. They are like little sponges and absorb it all and the smile and laughter is worth it all. They are at the age where the jabbering is a constant and that is sooo cute, I usually talk back to them the same way and it is like we carry on a conversation, only between grandma and child. I love the bond we have and I am very thankful for it. I thank God for ALL the blessings he gives us every day because it can be gone so quickly. So I just want to say a big "THANK YOU" to my special girls Katrina and Holly for giving their mom the greatest gift of all------GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
