World of FACEBOOK!

Well...I finally thought I had gotten with it & I was getting HIP...then I found out I have NO CLUE!!!! It's hard to realize you will NEVER BE HIP OR YOUNG AGAIN!!! Well...I finally...by doing some odd search....fell into the world of Facebook....I felt like such a DOPE! There were people I know...twice my age...with TONS OF FRIENDS & ALL HIP AND WOW....Boy...I got to get out of the house more (besides just to the park!) Well....for those of you who are HIP AND WOW...check me out...I am too, now on Facebook & finding all sorts of friends. It is AWESOME! Well, just had to share that little tid-bit real quick....before I head off to bed for the night. I have 1 class to go for CASA GAL & then to do a mock-trial & be sworn in by the Judge. OH..and God has already given me a new friend, who I got to pray for tonight! HE IS SO SO SO GOOD!

PS After all the things that have been going on in my life & some close friends, I want to just encourage all....to live today....in the moment & know that you are here for a PURPOSE...believe it or not...you are not here....just to breathe & make it through the day! Enjoy the day & live it. I recently watched IRON MAN (movie) and the man in there stated something so awesome....Robert Downey Jr.s character was at a point where he essentially had 1 week to live...he wanted to just sit around...but the other character said to him...(paraphrased)"well, if you only have one week to live, you better make it a good one"....I loved that....so profound & so important for all of us to remember....(tomorrow is guaranteed for no-one). Love ya...and the professor is off to bed....so you can now put away your notebooks! Joking! Sorry....I get a little preachy....teachy (? on my literacy) lately....it may be boring to you....its exciting to me....if I bore you too much....well, just don't read what I write! :) Everything aside...have a wonderful day or night & God bless!!! (please excuse my writing....I really dont try to follow any rules of grammar as I type along)

Let it SNOW!!!

It's so nice having someone who shovel's the walk way for you!!! Thanks, Adam!

FINDING THE TIME???!!!!

Well.....I know we are ALL busy.... be it running after little kids, doing dishes & laundry all day long, trying to balance kiddos, hubby, the paycheck, life & all..... but as most of you know right now....I am taking a series of 10 classes (30 hours) in order to be sworn in as a "guardian ad litem" (click on my CASA CAN link below if you have NO CLUE as to what that is)....each class I find myself being "awoken" to the things around me! BOY OH BOY.....I have been living in such a sheltered little world, as I am sure alot of us are....to hear the stories in our community....the hundreds of cases of abuse, neglect & so forth....actually I cried tonight listening to one of the stories. As I sit in this class (by the way, very few of the volunteers are christians) listening to how we are here to volunteer to make life changing decisions on behalf of these children & families (spec. for children in GAL case)....it makes me want to get on my knees & be open to the holy spirit to guide me as I sit with the volunteers (who many are going through their own trials) but are here....giving their time....because they care about what happens to the abused children in our community! Well...I just wanted to LET SOME WORDS FLY OUT! My heart is heavy & I can hardly begin to take in all that I have been learning...so I am going to do some extra studying....so please...PRAY FOR ME.....PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY....OF YOUR COMMUNITY....THERE ARE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF KIDS IN OUR OWN STATE....WHO HAVE NOTHING....NO-ONE......ARE BEING ABUSED IN MANY WAYS.....I HAVE TO PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR MY OWN IGNORANCE I pray I dont fall blind to the things around me in such a way anymore. Lord, Please help me to be all you want for me to be & use me in ways you have laid before me. AMEN!!! Thanks for listening to my "pouring out".....I am sure there will be more! Bear with me!! Have a wonderful day....hug your kids....kiss your husband & thank the Lord that He has rescued you....that you have been able to experience the miracle of New Life & Hope through Jesus Christ! Love & Blessings...Heather!!
