I tried to start a new trend the other day.  Derrick and I and the two little ones left the house to go run some errands and after getting about 10 minutes away from home I looked down at my feet.  I immediately shouted, "Derrick we have to go home!"  He of course thought something was terribly wrong. (You would think after being together almost 20 years he would know that I over-react sometimes!)  In my  distress I threw my feet up in the air so he could see the major problem without having a wreck.  He laughed and said, "Absolutely not!"  Fortunately our first stop was to the large Goodwill store off of US1.  I made a bee-line for the shoes and would you believe they had two great, almost brand new, pairs of shoes for me that day!  God is so good!

Looking at the picture, you can tell I probably needed some new shoes anyway.  These were my oldies but goodies.  So comfy...I didn't want to give them up!  God works in mysterious ways!  Even to get us out of our comfort zone! 
I don't think a trend will transpire from my mishap, but I was reassured that when God is prodding you to give up the safe and familiar, He will always have something better in store!  Notice I said they had TWO almost brand new pairs of shoes.  He could have just provided one pair for me to have for that day so that I would not make a fool of myself, but He provided a replacement pair for each of my oldy but goodies! 
Don't be afraid to let go and move on!  God wants to bless your socks off!!!

I can't believe I've gotten so behind on blogging!  It got quite crazy before Christmas with all of us getting sick, shopping, getting ready for company, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior and then leaving town for a week.  I hope everyone had a wonderfull Christmas season and that you are enjoying your new year so far.  I had a wonderful time getting to experience a 90th birthday party for my Nana!  Our family got together with all of my mom's family and had a blast in an 8000 sq.ft home right on the beach for 3 days!  My Nana is one wonderful woman, definitely worth the celebration!  She has given our family so many treasured memories and we look foward to many more!  Thank you Nana for dedicating your life to your family!
I finally got our Chirstmas stuff down yesterday.  I don't think I've ever left it up so long, but I figured my kids needed some clean clothes first, so that was my first task after getting home last week.  Things take even longer now that my Ciera is crawling everywhere! 
After unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping,taking down decorations, and getting kids back in school, my first mission is to get my 3 1/2 year old potty trained!!!  Thank You Jesus, Jesse has used the potty all day today!!!!  What a great way to start the new year!  :)
My next mission is to get busy planning for the infertility support group that I feel the Lord wants me to start.  Please pray that God will open doors to a facility (Our church is selling our property since we have outgrown it, so we are portable meeting in an elementary school.  That leaves us with no place to meet throughout the week.  I am going to look for a quaint place that hurting women that might not step foot in a church would go.  Maybe an apartment club house or something like that.  If anyone has any ideas please let me know!  Also pray that God will continue to give me vision for this and use this ministry for His glory!
I am looking foward to this year of 2010 to see what God has in store!  Be willing and available for Jesus and He can do great things with your life!
Happy New Year!
