SOCCER AND AN EXTRA PRAYER

 TODAY WAS CARTER'S LAST SOCCER GAME OF THE YEAR. HE DIDN'T PLAY MUCH THROUGH THE YEAR BUT TODAY HE WENT OUT THERE AND GAVE IT HIS BEST AND KICKED THAT BALL! HE RAN WITH HIS TEAM AND DID SO GOOD! WE WERE VERY PROUD OF HIM. JUST WISHED HE HAD DONE THAT ALL YEAR LONG. HE WAS THE VERY YOUNGEST ON HIS TEAM THOUGH SO MAYBE NEXT YEAR HE WILL DO BETTER. CARTER WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT HIS TROPHY HE RECEIVED!

 LOVE THOSE TWO SO MUCH!

JAYCIE AND DADDY BEING SILLY.

THIS WEEK GENE AND I WILL BE CELEBRATING OUR 4 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! THOSE 4 YEARS WENT BY SO FAST! I LOVE THAT MAN MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY!

TODAY I'M ASKING FOR A FAVOR. I AM ALWAYS PRAYING FOR GOD TO KEEP MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAFE, HEALTHY AND HAPPY ALWAYS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT BE THE ONE IN NEED THIS GO AROUND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA PRAYERS, PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY. I'M WAITING ON SOME TEST RESULTS AND I'M LEARNING I'M NOT A VERY PATIENT PERSON. IN A TIME LIKE THIS, ITS SO EASY TO DOUBT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LIFE BUT IN THE MIST OF ALL THIS, I STOP AND I THANK HIM AND PRAISE HIM! HE IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN ANY DISEASE OR MEDICAL CONDITION THAT WE MIGHT EVER HAVE TO FACE. HE WILL NEVER GIVE US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE AND IF GOD LEADS YOU TO IT, HE WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH IT. 

IVE BEEN HOLDING ON TO THIS VERSE TO GET ME THROUGH THIS WEEK WHILE I WAIT. 

"DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD." ISAIAH 41:10. 

AT THE WOMAN'S CONFERENCE I WENT TO, A GUY SPEAKER SPOKE ABOUT THIS SAME VERSE AND THE MEANING IT HAD IN HIS LIFE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM READING THIS VERSE AND HE SAID, THERE IS A COMMA AFTER DO NOT FEAR, AND IF YOU DON'T NEED THAT COMMA RIGHT NOW, YOU SOON WILL, SO PUT IT IN YOUR BACK POCKET AND KEEP IT. MEANING IF YOU AREN'T GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW, YOU SOON WILL. ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS HE WAS SO RIGHT. WE ALL WILL NEED THAT COMMA ONE DAY, YOU JUST DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE AS SOON AS IT COMES. 

 SO LIKE NATALIE GRANT SAYS IN HER SONG "HELD" IN WHICH I LOVE, THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LOVED AND TO KNOW, THAT THE PROMISE WAS, WHEN EVERYTHING FELL, WE'D BE HELD! 

THANKS FOR THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WHO KNOWS, IT MIGHT NOT BE ANYTHING, BUT WE DO KNOW ITS ALL IN GOD'S HANDS AND HE IS THE HEALER!
