Welcome

Welcome to my blog. More nights than not I am up well past the midnight hour. Burning the midnight oil, some might say. I believe it is because I enjoy the "me time". The hubby and the grandson are in bed, the phone is not ringing, I don't have to stop what I am doing to take care of something or someone else. I can watch what I want on TV or not at all if I want. I can turn the volume down or mute it if I want! It's all about me.....and usually God.

It's usually me and Facebook, until all my friends say goodnight and sign off, then it's me and God. We have these talks and He usually shows me something profound.Usually I am amazed at why I never "got it" before. At that very second, I have an "aha" moment, then find somewhere to record it, whether it be on a blog (I've started a few) or journal, (started even more of those), write it in my bible, which has many profound "ahas", or just write it on a piece of paper,that gets put aside and then years later is found to be read again...at just the right moment! An "aha" moment. It all comes full circle. Just like life.

Did you ever notice how people come into your lives at just the right time? Then you go years without seeing or talking to them, then poof, one day you run into them again and you pick up just where you left off. That's how God is. Even though we are not always faithful and loyal to him, He never leaves us. We may not always be thinking of Him or even include Him into our day, but He is always there for us when we call on Him.

Wow! I cannot believe it has almost been almost two years since I blogged! As I was reading past posts, I thought, who wrote these? LOL This was a very wise woman...This woman is pretty smart! LOL I had to recheck to make sure they were MY blogs. Now I am wondering where did all my wisdom go? Where did my faith falter? When did I lose all that confidence? Where has all my joy gone? Have I allowed the devil in to steal my joy? Has lack of control over circumstances stolen my confidence? Has my wisdom turned into the unknown? This woman had it together! Where is she now?!!! 
Well, a lot has happened. Life changing experiences. Some I will share, some not. Most recently, I lost my Mom, friend, confident. I still have a hard time believing it's real. I pick up the phone to call her...only to remember she won't answer. I think, I have to go by Mom's for this or that...only to remember, she's not there. Every day is a new reminder that I will never see her on this earth again. I miss her so much!
My eldest daughter and her son moved in with us a few months ago. As much as I love my children, it is an adjustment for everyone when two families live in the same household. Especially when they have children of their own. 
In March of 2011, I lost my step-father. He was a wonderful man. The epitome of a gentleman. He put my mother up on a pedal-stool and treated her with the up-most respect. I don't think she was ever happy after he died. She missed him very much. It hurt to see her so sad and lonely for him.

Today I thought I would fill you in on the last two years. It's been pretty much a roller coaster ride. I am hoping we are coming to the smooth part. I know God has been with me through it all, else I would not have made it. I think now I will pull my boots up by the straps and continue on. For if God be for me, who can be against me?
