Today I finished up the study at church on an Ezer. Over the next few months I am sure that you will hear more and more from me on this subject as the leaders of Grace roll it out to the church body. This study has had a huge impact on my life and could not have happened at a more crucial time in my life. I am so thankful that God sees us right where we are and knows our every need. Stay tuned for more details!

Date night with little man...
Tonight has been one of those nights when I realize a few things....
1. Eli is growing up way to fast.
2. Bleeze is a sweetie pie.
3. I am getting old fast..LOL!
I dropped Eli off tonight for a Bonfire with the Fusion group at church. He had fun other than falling into a briar patch. We removed 23 thorns plus all the ones the leaders removed at the event. Poor fellow! While Eli was off enjoying what he thinks is the "teen-age" life. I was off to spend some time with my little man! I took him to see Dreamworks Megamind. Such a good little movie. He was precious. After the movie we joined Tommy for some dinner and then picked my big guy up! Glad that they both had such a fun day!
a few things I know.....(well do I ?)
I closed my last blog in hopes of becoming better at blogging. The thing is I do have a lot to say and a lot in my mind however, I am not a liberty to say many of those things as of right now. In the past few weeks, I feel like a have been on a journey like no other. A journey filled with so many different emotions that it is overwhelming for me to even think about them, much less write about those feelings. I can however, put a few things I know for sure. Things that are certain in my life right now....but then again is anything every "for certain". I think God has been trying to teach me over the years that the on thing that is certain and "for sure" in this life is HIM! Isn't it wonderful to know that his "mercies are new everyday". With that being said, I can give you a quick update of things in my life right now and hopefully keep up with this blogging adventure again. I have to say that when I was a faithful blogger it was so nice to go back and relive the experiences in my life.
1.I am no longer with the LOOM at cotton mill place.
2. I am excited about new opportunities.
3. I am very excited about being with my boys more and being able to focus more on their education.
4. I have been disappointed by MANY people in the past few weeks but at the same time God has reminded me of his redemptive power in relationships so there is no need to be discouraged.
5. I have learned when you have done all you can do to stand...JUST STAND! (I am just standing)
6. I have a husband who is amazing. That has been VERY supportive of me in the past few weeks and I can never thank him enough.
7. I am so thankful for a church body that lives Biblically.
8. I am growing and learning more and more everyday in the ladies leadership gender study at church....can't wait for the spring for it to be passed on.
9. I would not want to be an attorney or a CPA. (I appreciate all that each of you do, but you couldn't pay me enough to have either job.)
10. When my integrity has been questioned, I have learned to stand firm in my beliefs and know who I am as an individual as well as in Christ.
11. My boys are the best,most patient children on the planet.
12. I realized the other day that I have to cherish every minute with Eli because he is almost grown..... sniff...sniff.:0(
13. Halloween is fun when spent with friends. :0)
14. Halloween candy is best when shared with friends. :0)
15. That I am very grateful for friendship (TRUE friendship). For the friends who have reached out to me in many different ways the past few weeks. You are all truly amazing.
16. That I have had some wonderful family time in the past few weeks with my parents and my brother, sister in law, and niece. I love them and I am so grateful to have their love and support.
17. There is nothing like seeing my sweet Bleeze face light up when he received his new puppy "Bella". She weighs less than one pound and is simply precious!!!
18. That I enjoy Charlotte Bobcat games! (ha..I really enjoy looking at Michael Jordan) LOL!
19. That I really appreciate my husband's love for politics.
20. I love fun times in the car with friends singing songs!
21. That I am truly excited about going to see Lady Antabellum this weekend!
22. Really excited about a new opportunity that has come my way and is allowing me to be creative.
23. That I love Ed Hardy perfume.
24. That if you stay in Hobby Lobby long enough listening to the music you can actually feel like you have been to church for worship...ahh....(I was sad yesterday when I went...they were playing Christmas music... I was looking for some spirtual uplifting..LOL)
25. I love our new small group! Great people and I love feeling apart.
26. That I do not like the time change.
27. That I wish I were on a tropical island most days lately..LOL!
28. That I am having trouble getting into the holiday spirit this year. It is not that I don't like Christmas...but I just think we skip Thanksgiving now. I want my kids to know Thanksgiving. What it means to be thankful and to realize the true meaning of Thanksgiving. To understand what it means and the true significance of the pilgrims and their journey. If you think about all of it, it is truly amazing and I want them to experience being Thankful first....then we will think about Christmas.
29. Halloween candy seems to mulitply on it's own...LOL!
These last are the most important.
30. God IS good all the time.
31. God IS faithful all the time.
32. I would be NOTHING with out JESUS!
33. Jesus paid it all!
34. When I don't understand life and the troubles and trials that it brings my way, I know that I can trust in the one who is the creator of this life and he will sustain me.
35. He calls me friend!
36. In the words of my friend Tiffany..."Jesus knows my heart".
37. Just as people never cease to amaze me.... neither does God!
So there you have it....just a few of my latest thoughts and feelings. I am going to try to keep this blog going. I love posting about my God,hubby, kids, and day. I love sharing with those of you near and far! I also love to look back on my life and see how God has moved in my life and provided for my every need. (I also love seeing my boys grow). I will try to keep you all informed!!! For now...happy Tuesday and lots of love sent out!!!!

Trying to keep my promises....haha!
I am trying to keep my promises on the entire blogging thing...LOL! So what's up today. Today I have been busy...SUPER busy! I have to say huge shout out to my parents for being there to help me the past two days. I have had several very important meetings and lots of decisions to make. They are awesome! Also a special thanks to my hubby. He has been wonderful lately. So supportive and I am so happy to have him involved some in my business. I have to admit that it was super nice working along side him all day yesterday!
We had a spectacular lunch today at Zamorah's in Simpsonville. I just love that good old soul food. The best meat and three around....we splurged and bought three different pieces of cake to try them all. We had red velvet, chocolate, and Italian Creme. All three were WONDERFUL!!!
I had a couple of meetings this evening to but one of them was for church. I just love the ladies on the ministry team at Grace. It is an honor to serve along side them. They are always so encouraging and I am SUPER excited about all that God is going to do in the upcomping weeks/months through our new study!!!
Well, that is a brief little update on little ole me. For those of you who follow me and are believers. Say a little prayer for me. I have lots of VERY important decisions to make and I need lots of wisdom, strength, courage, and clarity! For now....for all you fall lovers out there.. enjoy this fall weather!

playing catch up
Well, I know, I tend always write on my blog and make a bunch of promises I that I will continue to blog and then I never do. I have decided that it is for sure the thing that I need to do! I think it is somewhat theraputic to blog and so I shall continue. I am not really going to try to play catch up but maybe just go through the past week.
This past week has been somewhat of a challenge. I am faced with several changes and I have decided to take the motto of Matt William's opening remarks in his message last week at Grace Church that "challenges equal opportunities". Now don't get me wrong, these challenges are for sure opportunities and I am excited but at the same time faced with all the emotion of it all.
In the mean time, I am enjoying living life. Lately, my little Bleeze has been a real treat to homeschool. Eli is at the point where he does a ton of independant study but Bleeze has to have the one-on-one attention right now. He cracks me up. I am reallys starting to notice the differences in their personalities. He is just so "matter of fact". He keeps us laughing that is for sure!
One thing I have picked up on Eli is that he is truly growing into a man. On a recent trip to the lake I saw he take such a leadership role and jump in and help his Dad with real "man work" he is not afraid of a challenge and I truly am starting to admire him for it! He is an amazing boy that is full of passion for life and the people and things around him.
This week I did get to enjoy a girls night out with Candy at Salon 864 & Boutique. If you haven't visited there you have got to soon! So awesome! We enjoyed all the pretty clothes, jewelry, etc. and lucky Candy won the door prize that night!! Wow! I also enjoyed dinner and Target run with my buddy!
I also enjoyed 17 different meetings for the LOOM. I am excited about all the upcoming events at the LOOM and can't wait for this upcoming week! We had spectacular weekend. Read all about it here www.theloomatcottonmillplace.blogspot.com.
Today we enjoyed a little "time-out" and spend some time as a family up at the lake. Tommy, has had yet another ebay adventure and got us another new boat...LOL! He just trades off and on all the time. It is really funny!!!I really enjoyed today's ride though. (just wonder if we will have it in the spring (probably not) if he sees another opportunity, it will be out of here) LOL!!!
Oh me... so for now... I am heading to bed. Gotta get back to showing my gratitude so I am going to show my gratitude now before turning in and then off to bed. Early morning tomorrow and an exciting week ahead.
So Grateful for....
God- He is my everything
Jesus- For saving my soul
GRACE (there is nothing else to say about it...there is no other word for Grace but Amazing)
Tommy- other than God...he is truly my rock. He keeps me level headed and is always there for me.
My boys- they keep me laughing and I fall more in love with them everyday. (they are also great workers and very patient with their mama)
Sweet hugs from my sweet niece this weekend and hearing her say "sit, sit assy" LOL!!!
(she calls me assy....easy... I know their are those of you who will agree with that)
Netflix on my ipad- It has been great for Bleeze this weekend.
friends-you all know who you are!
Trips to the lake....to just lay back and take in all of God's wonderful creation and be so "grateful" for just God being who he is!!!
Oreo cookies (no matter the shape) I splurged and had some! LOL!!! (and milk)
