missing my mom

Today marks 11 years since my mom has been gone. It was an okay day, but as the night draws to an end and not a mention of her name from anyone in my little family, it makes for a sad lonely night. Justin has no possible clue how losing a mom feels. He can't comprehend the aching in my hearrt and the yerning just to talk to her on the phone. How many times I just want to call her and ask her for advice, especially when it comes to my children. Nor can he comprehend how much I just want a hug from her. It doesn't matter how many years pass by you still ache for them to be with you. It doesn't matter how much faith you have nor how much you know they are better off you still miss them, you always will until the day you meet again at Jesus feet. With that being said "God be with you til we meet again  til we meet til we meet at Jesus feet." I love you mom mom and miss you very very much. Love, your chub

We arre truly Thankful!

Today here in our home town/valley we are having a blizzard with artic tempatures.  The kids were released from school early, before the storm was to hit. They were home safely as well as Liz, Beverly and myself.  Justin however was at work and scheduled to work until 5:00 pm; sometime around 4:15 I  got the urge to pray for Justin to make it home safely, I told the kids to stop what they were doing and get on their knees. All the kids who could got on their knees and  I told them why I wanted to pray( I wanted to pray for Justin that he would make it home safely.) We said a prayer and about  10-15 minutes later  Justin came pulling into our driveway. A few minutes later, We all with Justin this time got down on our knees and said a family prayer of Thanks that he was able to make it home safely.  Justin told me there was a strech where he could only see a foot in front of him.  Several minutes later I was by myself in the kitchen and the spirit told me he was on that strech when you were praying for him. When I told justin about that he said, he had planned to go a different way, but ended up turning around and going a different way.
We are truly THANKFUL that he was able to make it home safely. I am grateful for our Father in Heaven who watches out for us and protects us and who answers our prayers.
