Life....

Live life to the fullest because you never know when you might just take your last breath!

Love those around you, you never know who around you is feeling un-loved!

Listen to your children, these moments slip quickly away.

Listen to your spouse, and cherish their voice.

Leap for joy if you find your running low!

Take chances, take risks, try new things, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

Make memories, be adventurous!

Love God with all of your heart and no matter what comes your way, He promises to never leave your side!

I choose to take life one step at a time, one day at a time and cherish the moments I have with my loved ones!

Blessed
By: Rachael Lampa

I may never climb a mountain,
So I could see the word from there.
I may never ride the waves,
And taste the salty ocean air.
Or build a bridge,
That would last a hundred years.
But no matter where the road leads,
One thing is always clear....

I am blessed,
I am blessed,
From when I rise up in the morning,
'Till I lay my head to rest,
And I feel you near me,
You sooth me when I'm weary.
Oh, Lord,
For all the worst and all the best,
I am blessed.

All along the road less traveled,
I have crawled and I have run.
I have wandered through the winds and rains,
Until I found the sun.
But watching eyes,
Asked me why,
I walk this narrow way,
There may never be a reason,
For the hope I have today....


You've given me joy,
You've given me love,
You give me strength,
When I want to give up.
You came from heaven,
To rescue my soul.
You are the reason,
I know,
I know.

I am truly a blessed person….

Richly blessed in Faith, Family, Love, Joy & Peace!

Homemade Taco’s with fresh garden tomatoes = Delicious!!!!

I love homemade tacos! Last night I had the pleasure of hosting dinner for my family after service!!!

I have to admit the food was delicious, but most of all I enjoy time with my extended family (husband, Alana, parents, brother and sis-in-law) .

Each moment we spend together is a JOY!I am very thankful for my family (both sides Hale’s & Loo’s).

My mom offered to keep Alana for the night so we could get some much needed rest. Jeremy has been sick with a viral infection and I have just been tired (lol), my poor mother said Alana finally went to sleep about 1:20 this morning. Oh the wonderful wee hours of early childhood! Yes, I know she should be on a better schedule…we will work on that!

Alana definitely has tons of ENERGY!!!! I sure could use a few doses of that energy!

I am truly blessed!

Have you taken the time to count your blessings today?

^{Last night I was reading in the book of Joshua and these scriptures really stuck out to me in chapter 2,}

¹⁰For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

¹¹And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

When I finished reading, I began to express my thoughts out loud to my husband………….and here they are.

The people of Jericho HEARD the testimony of the wonders the Lord had performed for the children of Israel, the mighty miracles he performed in setting them free and delivering them out of the hand of the enemy.

I began to think their God, He is MY GOD, He is the SAME, YESTERDAY (in the Bible Days) as He is TODAY, and He will be that same God TOMORROW.

The same God!!! I knew that before, but it was like a light came on, the same God that delivered them, is the same God I serve today, and what he did then, he can do now. NO matter the situation, no matter the circumstance, He is able and willing and desirous to perform on our behalf.

As I think of those around me, co-workers, neighbors, friends and family….who has heard what the Lord has done?

I am amazed at the number of individuals who DO NOT KNOW the examples from the bible, growing up I thought everyone had to know the stories I knew, but I am amazed at the number that don’t, tell them your story, your testimony of what God has done for you and where God has brought you from.

When we serve the One True Living God, with all of our heart, mind, soul & strength, the enemy melts, and his courage (if he has any) diminishes because he knows that my God is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath and in my soul today!

Don’t limit God and his abilities. For what he did back then, he can truly do it again!!!!

The old song says.......

He'll do it again, oh yes

He'll do it again

Just take a look, at where you are now, and where you've been

Hasn't He always come through, for you, He's the same now as then........

You may not know how, you may not know when,

He'll do it again!

Blogworld.....
What a horrible habit to start......missing daily blogging. That equals a BORING BLOG!

I do have a thought to post and will do so after lunch!
