Blessed be Your Name

You've seen the title before on a post, almost about a year ago.

Now it's time to use it again.

My friend Amy's little brother died early this morning. MP called and woke me up to tell me that baby Jonathan had just stopped breathing. They don't know why, but God does. We will never know why, but God always will.

It took about an hour for the news to really sink in before I started bawling. I had JUST seen Jonathan (the baby) on Wednesday and he was fine. A little pale, but fine. It just didn't seem like the story of his death could be real. Maybe I'm just a "doubting Thomas", but until I see the W family again it won't seem real.

Please, please, please pray for the W family as they mourn the death of baby Jonathan. He would've been 1 year old soon. I can somewhat understand what they are going through since my baby brother died, too, but it's harder for them since they got to spend almost a year with him.

But through it all, we have to choose to say, "Blessed be YOUR name, oh God!"

No more baby Yamasin...

My nephew has officially graduated.

Now before any of you think I have a genius on my hands who has already completed high school, I should set the record strait. He's now officially graduated from being tagged as a "little kid". And how do I know that?

My brother and his older brother let him play the Wii for the first time today.

Now if that's not a promotion, I don't know what else is!!

*sigh* He's no longer my "little Yas" with his goofy grin (now he has a sassy one!! lol). He's the rough-and-tough outside kid trying to act "big" with the huge softy heart underneath.

He's also graduated to being goalie instead of the cheerleader. What more could a kid ask for?

*sniffs*

On Sunday, my sewing machine locked up. *wails* I tried to fix it, but then after that the top thread won't catch the bottom thread and all my sewing projects have come to a stand still. *sighs* To make my impatience worse, I also did JoAnn's 5 for $5 pattern sale yesterday and I have all these patterns I sooo want to try out BUT I have to wait until the repair guy can fix it. *huffs* So, currently I have 2 nightgowns, 2 skirts, and 2 shrugs waiting to be either finished or started. (I couldn't wait to use the patterns so I started cutting out the material...and doubled my sewing tasks. -_^ )

In the words of my dear sister...."Ohhh the drama!!!!"

Back to reality...

After one blissful week of high speed, I'm back to Internet slowness. *sighs* I mean, we still have high speed but we also installed a program called "Covenant Eyes", which slows things down so that it's faster than dial up yet not as fast as high speed. However, it's a great protection program, and I'm glad we got it....even if I do have to be continually asking mom to log on since she now put up a password (when we canceled dial up we got rid of the log on password for full-time always-on high speed).

I feel like I've been neglecting HSB (okay, it's because I am) but in all honesty I really have been busy, and I really haven't gotten FaceBook! lol However, I DID get glasses! Just reading glasses, mind you. I still have 20/20 vision but the glasses magnify the words so my eyes don't strain (like they are now because I'm too lazy to go find the glasses...)

I've been busy setting up new aspects of PLLM, which has been really fun yet rather stressful at times. All in all it'll pay off though! I've also been involved with my dad's ministry so that's been fun too....I've always been a creative person, always coming up with new ideas (as a kid, in order to keep me content for hours all you needed to do was give me paper and a pen and I'd imagine things up like crazy) and now it's starting to really pay off with these ministries. My dad's the same way, and mom's the one who is always pulling us back down to earth with the practical points.

Anyhow, so that's what has been taking a lot of my time. I'm also baby-sitting Jase's 6 kids and trying to get caught up on so much more. -_^ I've been tending to blog more over on PLLM's site rather than on here!

Guitar's going GREAT, still praying for a capo or tuner to come my way but for the time being I'm making due. "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman is now my new favorite song to play, and I'm going through a book that'll help me in my song writing. It's my totally favorite thing when you pray for inspiration and it hits you like a lightning bolt....I was writing a song called "Come Home" and I was praying for the inspiration and God sure gave it to me, and He gave me the right chords to put down as well. It's the best feeling in the world!

So, what's new with everyone else still left on HSB??
