Just a quick thank you to all who have given words of encouragement, advice and sent prayers for us and my niece whom we recently found out was pregnant. It is greatly appreciated. We are all still numb and shocked, but are starting to process. Thank yo
Oh my friends. Just when I think life is starting to settle down, my niece (the one that was released from prison in May, who is living with us until she is able to get along on her own, and who's children we have been raising for the past 5 years), dro
Today is a day of firsts for my niece. It has been a rough few months for her since being released from prison, but God has been working in our lives and shown many blessings. Today she was able to send her kids off to school for the very first time eve
Life seems to be throwing lots of curve balls lately. But on the upside, My Mom's cancer seems to be stable and we don't have to go back for 4 months. She'll never be rid of it, but as it is very slow growing, she may never need any further treatment

Seems like I have been gone for a long time. I have missed my Cutie friends. I have missed so much of what is going on with everyone and it will take me a few days to catch up with everyone. I keep asking the Lord for life to slow down, but evidently H
Haven't been on much lately. Ultra busy with family stuff going on. My Mom was finally able to have the biopsy of the mass they found in her abdomen yesterday. They tried two weeks ago but found that she was so constipated, they could not get a clear
UPDATE Another prayer request for our prayer warriors. Tuesday, I took my Mom to ER because she had uncontrollable nausea and vomiting so was also dehydrated. She is doing better in that aspect and will probably be discharged tomorrow. But, one of th
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! My hints paid off because I got a renewal to Cute for a present! Have a blessed day.
