I am trying to get my blog started again -- it has been awhile. Michelle has fixed me a place on "myspace", but I want to keep this one active.

So be patient with me and maybe I can get into the swing of things again. It is a little hard with a two year old running around. Sometimes I have to wait to do anything until he is asleep.

So will be talking to you all later. God bless.

Since I have moved to Tennessee I have not been to church. It seems to be impossible to get up and go to church. I became acustomed to going to a certain church, hearing the music I liked, hearing the msgs. that inspired me; and now it is hard to start all over again. I need prayer to fight the complacency that the devil has put on me.

I had to call my neice(thank God for her) to even find my user name and password. Isn't that pathetic? Anyway I am back and will be visiting you all and trying to write. I have missed being on here and hearing from everyone.

Talk to you later and God bless each and everyone of you.

Hello everyone; it has been a long time since I have posted. I am babysitting Meesh's kids and using her computer.

I just wanted to let you all know that Seth and I are doing fine. He is almost 11 months old and will have his first birthday party on July 22nd. He is 20# 4ozs and almost thirty inches long. He has plenty of teeth in his mouth ( well gums) but none have broke through yet. He is crawling all over and pulling himself up and has actually taken a couple of steps.

Seth is a joy to have and he has truly been a blessing from God. I haven't adopted him  yet because of the money situation. My pastor's wife said if it is God's will then it is His bill. I am so tired of listening to people's little sayings, like God is a book of sayings that Christians just toss out at random. Especially when they don't have a clue as to what is going on. My own family acts sometimes as if it is nothing important. I believe that God put Seth with me, and that by doing this, I don't believe that He would allow Seth to be taken from me. Someone told me that maybe it was a test that God was putting me through --- I don't believe that either. I believe completely in God; I believe that His will will be done in this affair. All people are doing when they throw their little sayings out is causing me a lot of pain. IF those same Christians would take an active part and help, then maybe I could understand what is going on. I do not need another scripture or saying tossed my way.

I did not intend to complain on the first day of writing . Sorry about that. I just need a lot of prayer in this situation. I also need prayer for Seth because he has a lot of food allergies and reflux that causes him a lot of problems, esp. at night. So we spend a lot of sleepless nights. I asked God to let me sleep once in awhile and  He does. God has such a sense of humor -- I think I have slept three full nights in ten months. LOL.

Anyway love to all of you. I still don't have my internet service so will use Michelles or my friends to write when I get a chance. I forgot how busy a baby can keep you and what fun it can be. I  told God the other night if He had any more babies out there that needed a home He could send them my way.

Till later -- God bless you all.

I read an article in "Focus on the Family" yesterday about respect. It was about respecting the elderly instead of throwing them away. At the end was a quote by George Washington Carver ---

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these."

First of all I want to thank each one of you that has visited my blog. Second, I would like to apologize for not visiting your blogs. I have really missed doing that.

I have been very busy since August -- when I brought Seth home but I also brought Seth's mom home with me. That has been a challenge since his mother is mentally challenged. You know sometimes God gives us instructions that we really don't want to listen to -- maybe it's a test of our obedience.

I know that that is not really an excuse for neglecting my site and all of my friends but I do hope you all will forgive me for my slack.

I probably will not be on the p.c. for awhile because my service will be shut down as of today. When Katrina came through and then Rita there was a lot of damage done. We did not get cable bills for months and now they send one out for three or four months at a time. With my bills and taking care of Seth I do not have the money to pay it. Right now my most important effort is to raise the money to legally adopt Seth -- his future is kinda in limbo with his mother's condition.

I hope you all will understand and keep us in your prayers. Prayers that I will do  the task that God has set before me; that I will raise Seth according to His instructions. You know, God opened the door and I walked through in obedience to what He wanted and I pray that I will always be humble and walk in obedience to Him.

Pray for all of Seth's physical problems which may be due to his mother's lack of prenatal care while pregnant and an addiction to pain meds. Pray that I will always walk in God's grace. Pray for our financial blessings. Pray for my healing from all of my medical conditions -- I don't believe that God wants us to walk in sickness.

Thank you -- all of you-- for being such good friends, for your prayers, for your love .

I will try to stay in contact with you all through Meesh's site. I babysit her kids now and then so I will let you all know how things are going. Pray for my little Seth. He is a gift sent from God -- straight from Him. I will try to send pictures of him also.

Love you all and God bless.
