Glad to hear the news about your mother...I hope she will continue to improve...does she have stints yet? Would that help?

It may be something you wrote a year ago, two years ago or any time in between, but I always find just the right words.

My blog is on vacation while I'm finishing up my book so I just haven't made the time to look at my blogger reading list lately. I know it must be difficult going through these emotional times with the illness of your dear Nana, but it is so wise to do what you're doing now rather than when you're in a rush and so terribly emotional.<br /><br />I will enjoy going back and catching up on what's happening in your life. Knowing that God continues to be in the driver's seat beside you (and sometimes doing the driving)will be a great comfort to you in dealing with life's present circumstances. Your words are always an inspiration to me so please keep writing. Reading your healthy living blog has also been inspiring. I've gained a good 10 pounds over the last year and feel totally miserable that I haven't been able to control my eating. I'll be reading your posts each day and with God's help, I'm making a commitment right now to find a healthy eating style that is right for me.<br /><br />God Bless you my friend!

Wonderful to have god blessing us and our families along the way.<br />I have just spent the last nine months shifting..well, preparing to sell, selling, and shifting. The latter came with a bang, and now I am renting for a while near my daughter and her family at the beach, going to help her with a little bit of babysitting, especially as she tries to work ad is expecting baby number three. I am praying that the Lord will make it possible for her to spend and enjoy lots of time at home with the children, instead of rushing back to work as she did with the first two...I feel so sorry for the children when they spend so much time at daycare. I pray I am doing and praying the right things for her and her family.<br />And praying for the right house to buy at the right time.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698343129217681652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529740212643766428.post-87719967446279711022013-06-25T07:49:11.344-07:002013-06-25T07:49:11.344-07:00Miss Jules, I am here to tell you how much you are...Miss Jules, I am here to tell you how much you are loved. How much you are cared for. <br /><br />I am here to tell you yes it is okay to be in shock, to be numb to not connect emotionally. Because I know if you emotionally connect then nothing would get done. Nothing would get done because if you emotionally connect you would be a puddle on the floor with your whole being consumed by the ocean of tears that you have held back from the last couple of years of stress that you have been through. And who is going to feed the dogs if you are a puddle on the floor. <br /><br />Think about it, first there was your dad, now your mom and then there is Nana, there was the wedding, and the ministry you are involved in, this doesn't include the things I know nothing about. <br />Good grief girl, no wonder you are numb. You need a moment to breath. But I know you if you stop and breath there would be no one there to feed the dogs<br /><br />People need you. Your mom needs you, Nana needs you, you girls need you, I need you. Garry really needs you and the dogs need you.And with that heart of gold that you have you never stop giving. You are always thinking of someone else first. No wonder you are overwhelmed. <br /><br />It is okay to stop...................................................<br />It is okay to breath................................................<br />It is okay to take "me" time.....................................<br /><br />I hear the Lord say come away with me, let me heal your worried heart. Let me minister to your weariness. Let my peace wash over you and let the blanket of my love cover all that concerns you. It is there in that place of rest where you can begin to let the numbness of your heart melt into the goodness of your Papa. It is there in that place of peace you will be restored and renewed. <br /><br />Papa understands all of what you feel and His desire is to hold you in His arms so that those held back emotions can flow and flow and flow. <br /><br />You just have to stop long enough to let him<br /><br />Someone else can feed the dogs<br /><br /><br />your biggest fan<br /><br />Kelly <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />kelly annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614008124639098006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529740212643766428.post-40244994784735304602013-06-07T09:31:30.892-07:002013-06-07T09:31:30.892-07:00What a happy season Jules!

I'm so happy for ...Jules - this made me smile. I'm so happy for your daughter and the lifemate God has chosen for her. It reminds me of my oldest daughter's story. She has been my model child and her faith in God through all her years has been an inspiration to me. She always felt that God wanted her to marry a preacher, but as she began dating as a young adult, she was thinking she may have to put that thought aside as none came into her life. She finally became engaged to a sweet young man, but the more she prayed about it, she was finally sure he was not who God wanted her to marry. Even though she loved him, she broke the engagement. A couple of months later, another young man from Ohio took a job in the building where she worked and they kept running into each other on the elevator and it seemed everywhere she went, he was there. On their first date, he told her that God had led him to this place. There had been many job opportunities but God had told him to take this one. She was much impressed since she had always tried to follow God's will for her life also. They have been married twenty years this month. He recently graduated from seminary and after preaching as an interim pastor at my husbands childhood church for a few months, he was called to preach there as their permanent pastor and he accepted. Next Sunday will be his first day as their official pastor. God did want her to marry a preacher - but He works in his own time. They are two of the happiest people I have ever known.<br /><br />I'm so glad that God chose the path he did for your daughter. With God as their anchor, they will be very happy.<br /><br />As usual Jules - you brings blessings into my life everytime I read your posts. God bless you and your family!<br />GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529740212643766428.post-10698668529073072292012-08-29T19:38:27.075-07:002012-08-29T19:38:27.075-07:00Reading your post tonight was a gift from God.

I confess that I'm such a worry wart that negative thoughts about health issues with me and my family get planted easily into my mind and before I realize it, I'm on my death bed worrying about something that is out of my control. <br /><br />As I was reading your post just now, God put this into my mind: "If you pick your worries, pick only those things you have control over - then make up your mind to change them and your worries will be gone - I'll take care of the rest". And He does - if we only let Him.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529740212643766428.post-53877819766902747332012-08-09T18:45:23.533-07:002012-08-09T18:45:23.533-07:00Yay!!
