Hi all!!

Ok I have never blogged before and I hope I did this right. The picture above is my family. We have started our family tree from scratch rooted in the rock Of Christ because...well because our extended family puts the dis in disfunction.  The cycle of divorce, godlessness, sinful living stops with us. I was introduced to my Lord when my oldest was two months old. She was locked in our car in the dead of summer and the police were taking forever (even though they were literally across the street). As I watched my 2 month old baby turn bright red I shouted various obscenities at the top of my lungs and attracted the attention of my new neighbor who was a believer. She said the Lord told her to go talk to this lost soul screaming cuss words in the parking lot. She did, we broke the window rather than wait for the police, and the rest is history. A friendship born, a soul saved, a window smashed LOL  It took a few months but I couldn't not want to be like her.....happy....I mean happy like I had never seen. Not that she was never disgruntalled but there was valways an underlying Joy I couldn't put my finger on.  I came to Christ and then realized...my husband was not a believer, I could spend the rest of my life with someone who didn't believe and then eternity without him. After trying to beg with no result I started leaving Christian literature in the "library" ( the bathroom LOL come on everyone reads in there) Soon after I noticed dogeared pages...highlters in the book basket. I could tell he was reading. Eventually my husband (who was amazing by worldly standards already) surrendered his life to Jesus and was so on fire he made me look like a matchlight next to a bonfire. PRAISE GOD!! We have since been blessed by the births of 5 healthy children and heartbroken by the loss of 2 angels now with God in Heaven.  Our life has been wonderful, difficult, marvelous, tragic and beautiful.  Becoming a Christian doesn't mean you never cry, never feel loss, never get angry.  It does mean that at the end of the day...for all eternity, Jesus is waiting, enough said.
