Prayer Request


Hello all!! Just need you all to pray for my nephew Easton. Everyone from church may remember Easton, I brought him to church and had him prayed for because he was sick when he was born. He was premature by a month. He has had lung problems ever since. Easton is an amazing baby and my Godson so it is my responsibility to pray for him everyday and be there in his walk with God. Therefore since everyone who reads this is a part of helping me with my walk with God I ask that you would help me by praying that Easton's lungs would be healed and he would not have any more problems in relation to his lungs. He is only a year and has had pneumonia I believe 6 times or more. Please pray for him and his mom and dad. Pray that God would touch his lungs and help him breath easy from this day forward. Thank you. Love you all.

I have a new sister!!!






Chris and I went to Miami for the weekend to my brother's wedding. One of my older brothers Matt got married to a beautiful woman named Wendy. They were married on a Carnival cruise ship going to the Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Our family had the cruise ship all to ourselves for the first three hours, it was so fun. I am so happy for my brother and Wendy, I wish them luck in their marriage. Chris and I discovered while we were in Miami we never want to live there. It is way too big and busy. Congratulations Matt and Wendy, make Chris and I some beautiful nieces and nephews!!!

Thankfullness

I know I have posted about being healed before but in my eyes I could never blog enough or speak enough about what God has done. Today I was driving to pick Chris up from work and it hit me. Sometimes I will be doing some simple activity or what some people consider a simple activity. What I am trying to say is, to some people it is not a big deal to be able to drive, but to me it is. To most it is no big thing to walk a mile with a person they love on a beautiful night, to me it is. To most it is not a big deal to swim in a pool without being afraid of getting to tired to me it is. To most people walking down three flights of stairs instead of taking the elevator is not a big deal but to me it is. To most people it is not a big deal to walk their dog, to me it is. To most they wake up and take a simple shower and don't even think about it, to me I am able to shower and not have to rest afterwards. I could go on all day long telling you these types of things but what I am trying to say is simple every day things are miracles to me. They may seem like small things to some and things that people do without even thinking but for me I smile each time I do little things like this because my God healed me and I can once again do such simple things. I just wake each day still thanking God for what he has done, and every single day at a moment when I least expect it I just look at Chris and say do you remember when I could not do such and such, he will say yes and then we both just thank God. I want to encourage anyone who needs God to move in their life that God works in his own time and be thankful whenever he does touch you and never forget to say thank you. I really never thought I would be healed but now that I am I feel awful for doubting my God. So I will spend every day thanking him and speaking my testimony to show him my gratefulness. Thank you Father for my healing, thank you for letting me see what living life really means.

We met a friend????

Chris and I were taking our nightly walk around our neighborhood. We were startled when a police officer pulled up next to us, I thought what did we do? He started asking about Vegas and was very interested in getting a dog like him. He has a narcotic dog but his dog is retiring soon because of age. The simple subject of dogs brought us to talk with this man for a couple of hours. He pulled into a nearby parking lot and spoke with Chris and I about many subjects. Some of the topics scared us because he was telling us all the bad places in Orlando and where to stay away from. He took our names to call us about some housing information in his apartment complex. The conversation seemed to never end and he was talking with me about personal stuff when he found out I was an oncology nurse. I found out he had even had a prostate exam, which I did not want to know. So after that subject Chris and I decided we would try to politely excuse ourselves and continue our walk, but every time we tried to excuse ourselves some new subject would pop up and he would talk for another 10 minutes. We wanted to just walk away at some points in the conversation but he was a cop and I would like to stay in good with our neighborhood police officers. By the end of the conversation we came to the conclusion this guy was just really bored. It was an interesting nightly walk.

We Made It !!!


Chris and I arrived in Orlando FL two days ago. We are getting our apartment all arranged and it is going to be cute, well at least I think so. Yesterday it was so nice out it was 92 and sunny until about four and then all of the sudden down pour. It rained the rest of the night, non-stop, which was OK because I love the rain. Living in Orlando I get the best of both worlds my beautiful sunny days and my rainy nights. Today we have just been running around, and swimming at the pool. The weather channel is saying we are going to be getting another tropical storm. It has not turned into a hurricane yet but could. I am a little excited to go through our first storm, but a little scared. If you could all just keep Chris and I in your prayers, we are trying to find a church and we really hope to find one fast. Please just be praying that God will open up the doors wide at the church we are suppose to call home, we really want our new church to have similar beliefs and practices as CFC so please pray that a church would be brought to us. Have a great Labor Day.
