Man, I feel like I got hit with a load of bricks this morning! I slept horribly last night. I guess it all started when Ashton came into my bed at 2:30 this morning…he was coughing up a storm, just wouldn’t stop. I finally gave him some medicine, and he stopped coughing so I was able to go back to sleep. But I felt that the whole night was spent tossing and turning, not getting a good night sleep at all. I can already tell that I’ll be dragging today…big time!

Today my sister and my nieces are coming over to spend some time with us. We’re heading up to the MOPS Supersale, and hopefully we can find some stuff for Addisyn, or any of the kids really. I’ve never actually been to the Supersale before, but I heard they are pretty big, and there’s always lots and lots to choose from. Then the kids will just be busy riding bikes, playing basketball, whatever having fun…if the weather cooperates *fingers crossed*!

Shawn’s working night turn all weekend…so not much going on with him this weekend, we’ll be two ships passing in the night pretty much. We see him for an hour or so here and there. It’s tough…but hopefully won’t be too much longer that he’s full time on the helicopter. We’re still praying for that!!! :innocent0001:

Saw this over at Dru’s so I thought I’d give it a try…

Your Life is 83% Perfect

You truly have the perfect life. And you probably feel like the luckiest person in the world. You have a great career, family, and personal life. You have it going on!

Well, I’m off to blog hop…then make macaroni salad, and get my day started! Wishing you all a blessed day!

…until we blog again…

I’d like to share with you my walk with Jesus Christ…someone who is by my side 24/7 365 days a year. I had a testimony on my old Grusofsky’s Grove site…but that’s long gone now, and I feel that my faith is something that needs to be shared on this site as well. Now please forgive me, I’m writing from the heart…so I may ramble a lot, and I don’t have the exact date…or the exact feeling…it’s kind of been a long drawn out process in the making.

Before I get into my actual testimony, I’d like to share with you a little bit of my history. My mother was a stay at home mom to my younger sister and I…she was in an abusive marriage and had no choice but to leave our father when we were very young. I was 4 years old and my sister was 18 months…we lived by ourselves for a few years until she met my “daddy”. Even during the difficult times that she had with my abusive father and our times alone…we always went to church. Jesus was always a part of my family. Jesus has always been a part of my life.

But it wasn’t until I was a late teen that I realized how much of a part of my life he actually was. I didn’t know about giving my life to him, eternal life, and all that jazz…so I kind of just listened, wanted to do it…but didn’t know how to take it from there. I had my moments, I’d go to church, not go to church, on and off…up and down. Just kind of going through the motions.

Every time I would hear the give your life to Christ prayer, I’d pray it…I still to this day pray the prayer if I’m in a situation that is saying it. But it wasn’t until I became a mother that it all sunk in. Here I am holding my dear precious baby boy and thought about all that God gave us and did for us by sacrificing His one and only Son so that we can have eternal life in His Kingdom. Wow…what a powerful thing! Looking at my baby boy thinking I would give anything to protect him…and God loved me and you and everyone else so much that He gave it all to us…ALL OF IT!

So…if you ask me when I became a Christian…I’m not exactly sure when to tell you that I did. I wish I knew the exact date…but God knows it…and if I was to be in a situation tomorrow where someone was praying a prayer asking if anyone wants to give their life to Christ, I’d pray it again. Because everyday with Christ I feel renewed hope…renewed faith…and renewed love.

If you’ve never prayed the prayer…it’s simple. God doesn’t need you to be all fancy. Just talk to Him, like you’re talking to a friend…the BEST FRIEND you can imagine. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, to help guide you from this point forward to be the person He wants you to be and just ask Jesus Christ into your life…you will never be the same again, trust me…but most importantly trust in the Lord!

Can someone please tell me why Sanjaya remains on American Idol…can someone please tell me what has happened to America? My husband told me today that Howard Stern is telling all his listeners to vote for him…so I just don’t get it. I also heard that if he wins, Simon is quitting…it will be the end of American Idol as we know it. I just don’t get it. Please people…let someone with REAL talent win American Idol… :hissyfit: Someone like Blake or Gina, who can have great careers…I just can’t stand to see him anymore. I’m like so ready to stop watching it, because it’s becoming a joke. Did you hear Chris Sligh tell Phil last night when he was hugging the other contestants “You owe me $50″…wonder if that was cause it was him eliminated…or that Sanjaya was still on. I just hope that everyone starts voting for the BEST…not the worst! :insane:

I had an awesome morning today…today was the first day of a women’s bible study that I am hosting in my house. I’m not necessarily leading the study, but hosting it in my home. It was so awesome to have everyone here…we kind of just sat around, read a couple of devotions, shot the breeze, and decided what we’re going to do for our study. There was myself and 4 other women that came to the house. We decided that instead of using an actual book or anything, we’re going to study the book of John.

Hope you all have a blessed day! Can’t wait for Survivor tonight! The synopsis of tonights episode sounds interesting…can’t wait to see who finds the immunity idol and replaces it with a fake!!!

…until we blog again…
