If Ever...

Friend, Sister, Love.

Friends 'till the end,
Help each other mend.
When the tree is too weak,
And just cannot bend.

A crack may occur,
Or even a break.
But this true healing friendship,
Will act as a stake.

When the waves of sorrow,
Make you feel like you're drowning,
A friend paddles up,
And keeps you from frowning.

When the struggles of life,
Seem too much to bear,
A truly real friend,
Will ask you to share.

I hope that we have this,
My friend, you and I,
An incredible friendship,
Building more by and by.

You're more than a friend,
Like a sister you are,
And I hope you know that,
Either close by of far,

If ever I hurt you,
If ever you cry,
I hope that you know,
You can come tell me why.

It would pain me to know,
Of one second you suffer,
Or that I made your life,
Not better, but tougher.

I'm here if you need me,
Please can call anytime.
Although we don't talk much,
You're still on my mind.
 
We're friends 'till the end,
Helping each other mend.
When the tree is too weak,
And just cannot bend.

BUSY... who? me?

Okay, so I am about to be extraordinarily busy. In addition to my already busy work,  I am starting a new business which I am completely thrilled about. I am also about to begin fundraising for my chruch, so that we can start a care team to reach out to the members of the church, as well as, the community. I am kicking off the fund raising with a giant garage sale in October... It is going to be AWESOME! Not that bad.. but on top of that I'm adding two/three college courses. And.. Crossfit..

I am excited. So many changes, such a schedule. Fall is my favorite season, let's just hope that all of this stuff deosn't make me fall... lol

Ode to 13

Today my Sweet daughter Charissa turns 13.

HOLY CRAP!

I suppose, if I were to tell her how I really feel, it would go something like this:

My sweet daughter, your beauty is immeasurable. Both inside and out, you exude the better qualities than I could ever wish to portray. That my dear, makes me a very proud mother.  Charissa, you have the best heart of any person I know. I would like to think that your empathy and loving nature is a virtue that I taught you; but I don't think I can take the credit for that. Your heart is a big, beautiful gift from God. I know he is proud of you.  You are the best daughter that a mother can ask for, and I am blessed everyday because of you! I really can't believe you are 13. WOW!

I love you!
Love,
Mom

A Fruitful Tree

May I be the type of friend I would like to know.
May I be the type of wife my husband wants to show.
May I be the type of mom who shows her kids the way.
May I be the type of model they will want to protray.
May I be the type of daughter a mom can't help but love.
May I be the type of worker who rises far above.
May I be the type of Lady who women emmulate.
May I be the type of writer who editors highly rate.
May I be the type of Christian, the Lord will recognize.
May I be the type of student teachers think as wise.
May I be the type of example God wants me to be.
May I be the type of seed that grows a fruitful tree.

a time for the season

Time for the Season

This must be the time,
Time for the Season,
The season of Prayer.

Depression running wild,
Among those I love.
I'd give it all,
To see them smile.

Illness causing mayhem,
Breaking down reason.
Confusion sets in,
Dancing as it destroys.

Faith is hard,
When destruction torments.
Wishing for a break,
Praying for a season.

A season of light,
Where health and joy,
Stroll peacefully,
Hand in hand.

This must be the time,
Time for the Season,
The season of Prayer.

Lord,

 I ask you to heal the broken hearted in a way that only your touch can. Touch the mind of those who need you to sift through the sands of thier own confusion, like a gold miner sifting through the dirt, and allow the clarity they desire to shine like polished gold.  I ask that you touch the hearts of those whom I love. Those hearts that are broken in many different ways, heal them, and make them whole.
Thank you Lord, for your everlasting, undying, unconditional love. Wrap your arms around them, and don't let go.  Help me be a reflection of your love to everyone.

Amen.

sweet days of past

Looking in to the past, reminiscing of recent events. The solitude of the ocean, the fish, seemingly joyous as they swim and eat. Not a care in the world has these fish captive.  They are completely content not knowing from minute to minute if a shark will swim along to eat them, or if they will be caught in a someones net.  I suppose, no fear = joy.

 The rush of excitement jumping off the edge of the boat, into the cool water was an unsuspected delight.  Seeing the creations of God, swim freely, beautifully was an amazing release I will not soon forget.  Sharing moments like this with such a cherished friend made them that much more real. Had i been alone, it may have been imagined.

Tomorrow!

Okay so I am a little more than excited to be heading out into the open seas tomorrow with our best friends! This is going to be the best vacation EVER! I sincerely cannot wait to be on the boat, but I think I am even more excited to see KC and Ashley's reaction to the incredible ship!  Relaxation, rejuvenation, and be best friendships for 4 1/2 days... What more could this girl ask for? 


On a not so happy note, My Husbands grandmother is suffering from sever Alzheimer's and Dementia. I ti breaking my heart to hear how last night she wondered out of the house in the middle of the night, and went walking down the highway.  I pray that God will protect her in her fragile state. And that God helps my in laws have understanding and peace as she travels through this difficult change in life.  I truly wish there were more I could do.
