Like seriously ill... I just took some pepto - have my trashcan close because I feel like I'm going to hurl non-stop! WHYYYYY??? Maybe I'll feel better shortly... If not - I'll run tonight...

Finding my way home...

Wow... I haven't blogged in awhile - because I didn't have the right words - or maybe the time wasn't just right... but I feel like it right now... I've SERIOUSLY gone through a spiritual transformation of sorts... I guess that's what you call it... I have no idea... But I know... I know know know... You want to know what I know???? hahahahhahahahahha...

I know that I have been blessed beyond blessed.... Beautiful healthy children, a wonderful, loving, 'stand beside me', does everything on the planet to make me happy husband, beyond fabulous sisters.. blood and non-blood... ( my T, Stacey, Court, Brit Brit, Amanda, Bran....)sheesh - in my moment of losing my brain... I have just been blessed - and realize that I've been taking ALLLLLLL of this for granted... Like ridiculously...

Have you ever written a letter to God? If you haven't - I ABSOLUTELY recommend it. It is something that I learned in Bible study - writing a simple letter.. And taking the time to let him write back... IT IS AMAZING.... SERIOUSLY...

Anyway - it has been A LONG time 'a-coming' for me to be back in this place.... And I'm really happy in my heart. I struggle... ALOT... BUT I am trying to be whole... Whole in the spirit of Christ... And our Lord - and the Holy Spirit...

A few months ago I was questioning why there were 3... Like - who am I suppose to pray to???? Ummmmmmm... duh!!! I pray to God... In the name of his Son - Jesus Christ who spilled his blood for me... for us...

I am very very thankful to Tracey for asking me (and signing me up) to go to 'Stones of The Heart'.... In a MILLION years - I didn't think that it was the place for me... But in truth - it was the absolute place that God wanted and led me to be... I met some wonderful women there... And I learned SOOOO much about myself... And my place in this world... Oh - and whether I was a sheep or a goat.... OR a sheep with goat tendencies....(VERY important!!!!) I have ALOT of goat tendencies... BUT I am NOT a goat... I am a precious part of a beautiful flock... I am a sheep... I will follow my Shepherd...

The Lord is my Shepherd -
I shall not be in want...
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside quiet waters...
He restores my soul.
He leads me in the righteous path for his name' sake...

Although I walk through the valley of death
I fear no evil
Your rod and staff
They comfort me
He prepares a table before my enemies
He anoints me head with oil
My cup overflows...

For surely - goodness and mercy
will follow me all the days of my life...
And I will dwell in the house
of the Lord FOREVER....

(wooooooooooo hooooo!!!! LOVIN' IT!)
