Please Pray...

Pray Pray Pray. Please if you pray, whether you are just spiritual, Christian, or any other religion of this world, if you pray..please pray for Erica, Steve, baby Orner, Braylynne, and their daughter in heaven, Angel. Baby Orner is very sick and the doctors say there is no chance of healing but if it is God's will, whatever God you pray to, whatever you believe, they just need all the help they can get to perfom God's will and have the hope that God's will is to heal this baby and have it on Earth. Although I am stressed to the max right now, I know that my pain is not comparing the pain they are feeling and I am trying to devote my prayers to them. Please if you have an extra minute just to think about them, just to hope for them, anything will help. They just lost a baby last year and want so badly not to lose another. We can only hope and pray that God will grant them the gift to have this baby on Earth.

Thank you for your help.

Summer is coming...

These last few days have been absolutely gorgeous! I will admit, they have been a bit hot especially because we are stubborn and decided 92 or not, we are not turning on our AC. We did have to break down one night at about 2 in the morning when it was in the 90's while we were trying to sleep but last night we got a fan for in our room and it worked very well. I finally got a good night's sleep although it was not quite enough. I can not complain though because at least I got to sleep. The sunshine is going to go away today but hopefully it will return by the weekend because I absolutely love these sunny, hot and not humid days. Saturday Kevin and I walked on trail behind my college and it was beautiful. We saw this amazing blue bug and we couldn't snap a picture of it in time, but I have never seen anything like it! It's whole body was metallic blue! Sunday we went for a hike and it was hot but, it was wonderful. We sat at the top of the mountain on some rocks that overlooked the cliff. A seven year old girl was climbing across a rope from cliff to cliff and she also repelled. I was amazed although, I am not sure that I would have let my seven year old do that because there is no soft spot, there is no chance for survival if you fall. I will post pictures later, maybe tonight or tomorrow from the walk and the hike. You will absolutely love some of them! The hike that we did on Sunday was a great work out and our bodies felt so rejuvenated although it was much shorter and not as hard as the one that Kevin and I did last year. It was our warm up hike!
Yesterday my two best friends at college and I took pictures on campus and let me tell you, it was beautiful! The blooming trees made wonderful backgrounds and we had all kinds of fun just hanging out together. If I can I will post pictures from yesterday as well because those pictures are gorgeous as well!
I am excited for the weekend to be here again but I am trying to enjoy every day. I often pray to God that he will make me humble because sometimes I am too outspoken. I always let people into my life so much and then get stabbed in the back so I have been praying that I may be able to find the strength that was in me before what happened in November 2007 and that I may be able to sit quietly and observe others and pour my soul out only to those that I know truly care instead of telling just anybody that will listen.
I am thinking about getting a tattoo. I don't know of what and I know that some people are strongly opposed to getting one because God gave us our bodies not to write on but to nurture and love. I however am not opposed to tattoos. I think perhaps I would like to get the chinese symbol for love or something along those lines on my foot. If I do end up getting one I definitely want it to be something relating to love because that is the what life is about. I view love as the most important thing and God gave us the ability to love Him and love others. I cant even begin to express how important love is to me. I could just go on and on about it but I will spare you.
I hope you all are well! I hope the sun is shining or if it isn't I hope that you can enjoy what ever weather you are being handed. I hope life is being kind to you or at least if it isn't you can find the kindness in God and in others. Please pray for Erica and Steve and their daughter, their angel daughter, and their baby.

When will life feel normal?

Life is sooooooo crazy right now. It has been for quite sometime. I just hope that someday I will be able to take a breath and relax. I hope that some day, at least for one hour there will be no drama, there will only be Kevin and I and the world, just at peace for at least one hour. I hope things are going well with everyone. Can anyone tell me, does life ever get more enjoyable? Sorry I haven't been posting much, I plan to soon and I hope this summer life will be a little less hectic. I am starting to doubt it tho. However, usually in the summer things just seem better.
I am praying for everyone out there. Please keep praying for Erica and her family.
Please pray for Kevin and I that we may be able to breathe sometime soon.
Thanks to all of you!

At a loss of words...

Hi everybody. I have been at a loss of words lately. After my last post, so much stuff has happened and I just didn't feel like going into details. I wanted to say I am very thankful for all the wonderful weather we had this weekend and Saturday was lonely without Kevin but I did go to my Mom's and played outside with my brother all day. I have been very overwhelmed with some issues going on in our families and I hope you will keep Kevin's sister Erica and her family Steve, Braylynne, Angel and the baby in Erica's belly. Anyway...sorry this message isn't very inspirational..there is just a lot on my mind and I would appreciate your prayers to help me figure everything out. I am thinking of you and praying for all of you as well.
Thanks.

Sunshine and sore hearts

These last two days have been absolutely gorgeous! The sun is shining, the air is warm, everything is just beautiful! Our plants have been getting their fill of sunlight and they sure are greedy! They love then sun! : ) Although I have no room to talk because I have been enjoying every minute in the sun that I can get. I ate lunch outside on campus today. It was really nice and although my friend could not eat with me, the clock chimed its beautiful melody and the buzzing of the bees and the chirping of the birds kept me company. This weather has truly been a gift from God I believe to lighten everyone's spirits!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and all was well until Kevin's sister called me. She is having some bad complications with her pregnancy and it is quite hard right now because she lost a baby girl named Angel last year. She and her family could really use your prayers right now if would like to help us all out. The doctors believe that she gave the baby an illness that she was not immune to and we are all just praying that the baby has the strength to become healthy again and make to Earth to live with her family.
That was a very sad phone call. To make the night even worse, Kevin decided to stop at his parents house. Now he has been saying that he has wanted this particular dish for dinner for awhile...no big deal, just some day if his mom ever got the chance. Well his sister (the one I mentioned earlier) wanted it as well and they go over to his parents every tuesday and thursday and some sundays for dinner. Well, we walked into their house last night and as soon as we opened the door, we knew she had made it and not invited us. Now it was a hard day and I would never expect someone to invite us to dinner anyway, but his mom had been saying and saying, making a big deal about how she was going to make this dish for him and his sister and all of us. Well, you can only imagine how much it hurt last night when we walked in and all they could do was make one thousand excuses about how there was enough room or that they were going to invite us but..... Yeah. I immediately stopped talking when I found certain that they had done this because I was so infuriated at the fact that it seemed like a deliberate cut to Kevin. I know that it hurt him so much, not that he wasn't invited for dinner, that he had been asking and hoping and then they had the nerve to do it without us. It just cut deep. I am really trying to look at it in a different light but, I just cried for Kevin because he and I have these huge hearts that we bend over backwards and do everything possible, if we offend someone we cry because we never meant to hurt them. We give and give and give everyone the benefit of the doubt and very very few people return that and it hurts so much when you are pouring your heart out to be kind to others and they cut you deep.

Anyway enough ranting and raving because I do forgive them. I mean I am sure we do lots of things that hurt peoples feelings and don't mean to. This day I was just in such a bad mood. I had a hard test today and so much went on last night. I am just overwhelmed. But God sure did bless us with a beautiful day! Thank you SOOOO MUCH God. I hope you all are doing well! I am so sorry for ranting and raving. I hope that you can be happy and feel love! I am praying for everyone! Smile guys!

Can we have a little sunlight please?

Dear God,
Can we please have a little sunlight? Our new baby plants need some light to grow and I think everyone in the world needs a bit of shine to brighten their day.
Thank you and love,
Sarah

Today was a fairly good day. I learned a lot in my classes today. Some days I feel like going to college is worthless, however on days like today I am glad I went. Listening to stories about other people in history really inspires me. I realize how amazing it would be to make a difference, to have somebody remember your name for something. I wish I could go to Africa and help all people. Infact, I wish I could go all over the world and help those people that really need help in the world. Money is so unimportant and I wish everyone in the world could see that. Sometimes I wish we could go back to the simplistic ways and just use our technology to communicate and help, never to kill people or commit horrible crimes, or use it to spread hate. Today I was inspired to make a difference.

I was also inspired to nourish my body. Not just with any food but with food that will do wonderful things for my body. Some days just make me feel so good...others not so much but, I will enjoy this feeling of happiness and inspiration for awhile.

Look at our plants! We put them in their homes last night! It was SO EXCITING! I have something to look after. : ) I am happy about that.
