I am blessed beyond measure and I know it well! God has brought me through so many storms in the past few years and has taught me so much. No way I coulda made it without Him!

As usual...its been a while since I posted a blog!  No excuses, just has been!  I have put a few more things on 'Everyone's Apostolic', but have neglected this site...poor, poor blogdrive! :-D

My life has taken some interesting turns as of late. :-)  So here's some updates!

Church- I spent this last weekend at my church's annual church retreat in Hartford City, IN. WOW! What an awesome time in the Lord!  Besides that I was blessed with some awesome friends who helped me when my brakes got all crazy on the way to the retreat.

God kept His hand upon me and my kids, that is for sure!! The brother that fixed my brakes (and wouldn't even let me pay for it!!) said it was a serious problem I had and that it could have caught fire or caused an accident!

I finally feel as if I am becoming a 'member' there :-) Yeah, I know...I am slow!  Been attending there for 10 months, but still!! 

Family- I absolutely can not believe thatit is time for my kids to start school again!! AND, I absolutely can NOT believe that I finally have all of my kids in school all day long every day! LOL Woo hooo!

My work hours have been getting sooo much better! More day shifts, and if I do work an afternoon shift, I am getting off closer to 9p which beats those 4-12 shifts I used to do! This has been a blessing for the kids and I as we get to spend more time together now! YAH!!  

I guess under this topic, I would also share that I have a 'new friend'. He is a very, very nice man from Louisiana that I met on Everyone's Apostolic. We started out just joking around, and we really hit it off! :-) Then we started talking on the phone for hours on end...ME...The Anti-Phone Queen!! Time flies when we talk. I am not sure exactly how he does that! ;-)

He recently came allll the way up to IN to visit, and I was very pleased to find that he was the same in person as he was over the phone. We had a great weekend together, getting to know each other more, laughing, eating and playing Putt-Putt. I only mention the Putt-Putt 'cause I won! LOL

I don't know what the future may hold for me, but I thank God that He has brought me such a wonderful friend!
