So..ok..it ain't the end...

Ok Sis Amber...you talked me into it...haha...I did enjoy blogging, just kinda thought it was useless to blog to myself..but I appreciate your interest in my life and the comments you left...Kristen informed me that she had been reading it also, but had no way of leaving a comment...haha..that might be a good thing!..she has laughed at me over my "Star" story...and Tony hasn't helped either..he really got on her bandwagon, making fun of me and my gullibility...but...as I pointed out to them, I got the guy, the others can have that ole stupid star! LOL....
We just got back a few days ago from Florida...it was a great trip. Every trip we've taken to Disney has been a good one....the families we took this time were Br Chris and Sis Kathy Moore, and her sister, Sis Joann Lea and all their kids. Sis Joann is a single (never married) mother of 2 of the sweetest little girls you'll ever meet...their ages are 7 and 6 and so well behaved. The youngest one is so funny..she's a doll..and the other one is kinda quiet..then Sis Kathy has 2 lil girls of her own and their ages are 7 and 6 also..so we had 4 princesses. She also has a son who is 14. We all went for breakfast at Cinderella's Castle and they loved it. It was everyone's first time to Disney except Sis Kathy..she went when she was 11, but only to the Magic Kingdom, and barely remembered anything about it. Tony and I have been so many times you'd think there was nothing left to explore or that we'd be tired of it...but we don't get our enjoyment from the parks...well, let me rephrase that...we do love going to Disney, but NOW, most of our fun comes from seeing the faces of the people and their reactions to everything..we LOVE taking 1st timers.....we love seeing their reactions to the rides and shows...and if you've ever been, you know Disney doesn't skimp on anything when it comes to decorations or attractions...once you've done Disney, the other parks just don't measure up..IMO. Our 40th anniversary is in 2 yrs, and if the Lord permits us to live to see it, I would LOVE to renew our vows there! At the very least I would love to have a reception of some sort...
I'd like to take the time to make a post about the blessing the Lord gave me last Sunday nite...it was so unexpected..and so needed. I thought I would journal it here, so that on another day, when things start going downhill, I can read back on it and maybe relive that moment when I was over in the spirit and knew very little of what was going on...that kind of blessing only happens to me every now and then...most of the time when I testify, I just stand in my place..I'm not much of a shouter...not that I wouldn't love to...just doesn't fall my lot often to get to...and when I stood that night, I really didn't expect anything....but this time I decided to walk around..and if I killed the service, well...it was getting late anyway..lol. After a few rounds, my mind struggling all the way, I felt a little of the power come in my hands...and it was just like we tell the lost people..I got ahold of that, and in an instant, He covered me up!...don't remember a whole lot after that...now, I really have a fight with my mouth getting dry as cotton when I testify or while the Lord is blessing me...it has hindered me so many times...i've even testified about it thinking maybe I could overcome, but anyways... I REALLY needed a drink of water, my mouth was so dry...but I really wasn't ready to stop, I was feeling so good...so I just asked for a drink and someone had already gone to get one for me and had it ready!...I got me a sip, and took another round...I was feeling so good...but this ole body could only handle so much...I sat down and Tony got right up, and he shouted all over the place..the Lord also blessed Br Duane, Br Stanley, Sis Janice...someone said it was Elder night...lol. All I know is the Lord is gracious, and full of mercy. He knows what we need, and when we need it....
well...til next time....
