Good-bye for Now..,
This week has brought many changes and challenges and without Terri and Lynne and guidance and advice from four special people in our lives I would have crumbled.I know as well that without God or our faith none of this would have happened.I always thought that God was punishing us for whatever reason,however I realize how wrong I was.With all the praying and tears he was there as he always is.I mean there has to be a reason why Footprints is my favorite poem.Bill will be leaving on Tuesday for his job has head cook,which entails him to be gone alot.Jordan almost broke his arm in Lacross,thankfully he only sprained it and had to wear a splint for just two days.He has a game tonight and of course he will be playing.I am still healing but very slowly.Samm has been very busy with school and youth.Somehow through everything the four of us have become very close.So I could keep writing and bore you with all the ups and downs since my last post,but I don't need to.I will explain when I started writing my blog and i am going to be honest I felt thatI needed to have people comment on my blog for if they didn't I thought no one cared or i wasn't interesting enough.Now It doesn't bother me,as I know people care and if they don't, well they don't.As our computer is sick and in the shop I won't be able to post,so I leave you with our blessings.
Thankful Thursday oops a day late..,

Life is Fragile....,
Believer or not,Saved or not.We hang onto the belief that nothing could ever happen to us unless it was in God's plans,that he has already written our lives and our children's.Sometimes it is so hard to really wrap that around my head,when I see so many people hurting,suffering,in accidents and deaths.It always sounds weird to me when peeople say we were born to die? I know that God only gives us what we can handle..,but what if we can't?Then we turn to God and pray and lay it down at the cross.Honestly there are days upon days that I just don't want to get up for i have no idea or control what will happen on that particular day.If there was one question i could ask God(in person) it would be why??? did you choose this life life or path for me.I have recently just started with the arrival kit,so it is making me think long and hard about life and what is next.Lately I can't even watch the news without getting so overemotional.Where has all the respect and consideration for another.If you could ask God one question what would it be???
"Faith"
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Happy Mother's Day!!!!! To All You Mother's Out there!!!
What is left of the marble cake they made after church..,yummy
The card they made,
The card and the carnations.
Surprises not one that really likes them.However after a loong day at church,grocery shopping,an arguement with the neighbour and getting kicked out of the house by the kids,I really couldn't take anymore.This is what I walked into;God bless their hearts

don't like my pic taken
It was a bit cold down by queensway .
Trying to not notice the camera,
I think this is the same as the first one,
This one had to put in for lynne(l0l) had to be there.
Okay people who know me well know i really don't like getting my pic taken but i thought i would let lynne prove to me that i have nothing to fear from it.So a couple of shots.

Jordan's team won two games in a row..,
However not without a trip to the er tonight with a very badly bruised and sprained elbow.He will be fine just needed to wear a sling till Sunday.Tonight Lynne and I went for a much needed hobble walk tonight and it was exactly what I needed fresh air.Bill will be leaving after the holidays may long weekend as head cook in the third camp.I am still on a medical leave and am getting more and more bored and frustrated.I really don't like being laid up,it has been since feb2nd and has lonliness ever set in.I have been reading a lot,doing a collage book,spending time with the kids, going to lacross and spending time with Bill and with Lynne.So between er and the doc's this is what my life has become.Now I am not complaining but i thought i had alot more friends and am frustrated at being left out of a lot things as this is killing what little social life i had.I believe that God in his time will heal me,i have complete faith in that.A person can only press in so far,before they come to a point and wonder why??? keep trying????I also know with my walls i can be very unreachable or seem like a snob,well that is not the case,i'm actually shy and in secure in big groups,however church is really helping with that.I love our church and consider everyone family there.I have said before and i will say it again anytime if anyone needs help just ask me,and i will do my best.If you need to talk,call me I'm actually wiser that thought to be.Remember I have lived my life in the world for 30 years and have seen alot,been through alot,things i will never forget.So on to one of my favorite songs right now.
