There is always hope for me and for you :)

God called David a “man after His own heart!”  One might read his story and wonder what God saw in him.  He fell as often as he stood. He stared down Goliath, yet ogled at Bathsheba.  He could lead armies but couldn’t manage a family.  Raging David.  Weeping David.  Bloodthirsty.  God-hungry.  Eight wives.  One God.  A man after God’s own heart?

That God saw him as such gives hope to us all.  David’s life has little to offer the unstained saint.  Straight-A souls find David’s story disappointing.  But we need David’s story…most of us do.  Giants lurk in our neighborhoods.  Giants of rejection, failure, and revenge.  We must face them.  Yet we need not face them alone.

Focus on God.  The times David did, giants fell. The days he did not, David fell.  Lift your eyes, giant-slayer!  The God who made a miracle out of David stands ready to make one out of you!

Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:18, “We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see. What we see will last only a short time, but what we cannot see will last forever.”

Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Today Kristyl and her babies plus Me are going to the new American Girl Doll store in Columbus!! My first trip to this fun store was in Manhattan with Marla and Caitlyn when they were living there....it was so much fun. The excitement is contagious!!

Tomorrow we have an appointment for DH with an ENT DR.....sinus problems have followed him from VA to OH...ugh!!

Have a wonderful day :)

Jesus said to Jairus what He says to you: “Don’t be afraid—just believe!” “Trust Me,” Jesus is pleading. “Just trust Me.”

The Huber Family Reunion

All of the siblings (even Aunt Irene who is 93) but Mary who is in a nursing home in Portland OR were there. But the number of cousins who attend is dwindling fast. There were probably only about 20 or so of us. From my siblings only Joe's family, me and my daughter Ashley with her family were there. A vote was taken on whether to have it next year and no one raised there hand to host it......after the second vote....I raised my hand, what the heck was I thinking? I was thinking of my Dad.....hopefully I can come up with something to generate activity for next year....I have a helper who I think is my Godfather's youngest daughter! It would be so sad to never see my Aunts and Uncle and their families while they are still here to hug!!

The Fulton babies spent the night on Friday so that Dad could compete in a gun shoot in the city of Marietta. Marla and family came to visit  Saturday and the 7 grandbabies had a good time....the house looked like a cyclone had gone through it....BUT we had a really good time... I love our visits :)

This week I will play catch up on classes, cleaning and such....

Have a blessed day!

Hello sinus infection!

Yesterday the afternoon was spent waiting in DRS' offices with DH. One for his current misery with a sinus infection (early in the season for him) and the other one we have waited for 2 months to see. His regular DR has decided that he needs to have a sinus scan and an appointment with an ENT...he gets so tired of seeing all these DRS.

The Wellston babies are spending the night tonight so that Mom and Dad can have a little R&R....bad timing but that is life :) we will just have to be a LITTLE bit quieter than normal!!

I am mowing today and then a quick trip to the grocery store...have to get those Bagel Bites for Kaeden you know!

Be blessed!

Luke 24:27, Jesus began to tell them the story of God’s plan for people, “starting with Moses and all the prophets, and everything that had been written about Himself in the Scriptures.”

We, all who believe in Jesus Christ, we are the Body Of Christ. Jesus came to earth and gave His life in exchange for ours so that we could have an abundant and eternal life. We are His hands and His heart meant to show others the love of God and the gift that He gave in the salvation of Jesus for all of mankind. We need to be about our Fathers' plan and spread the Good News :)

DH has an appointment with another specialist today!! He has been feeling punk (doing nothing totally unlike him) the last couple of days  (sinus infection an ongoing issue) but did not want to cancel since it took 2 months to get in...so away we go!! Prayers are appreciated!!

The weather is absolutely beautiful!

Be blessed..

Love and all that stuff!

Yesterday about 11AM I got a call from my 2 daughters that their 64 year old father had a stroke. Their father and I were married for 24 years and had our only (4) children together...it was a difficult marriage to say the least but it was a LONG time ago. The girls needed someone to stay with the 7 grand babies...it happened at the time I had the cable company setting in my yard to bury a cable that had been cut and  I was waiting for a call from the electric company concerning the lack of electric at the Quarry....not good timing but No one is willing to watch that many children but grandparents. As soon as Pooh (DH) got back from the Quarry we made the trip to Columbus to watch over (play with) the kids. If you ever pass an older lady pushing a double stroller with 2 babies and 3 children whizzing past her on bicycles it might be me :) the neighborhood will never be the same. Thankfully their father will make a complete recovery and I had a chance to talk to his wife and offer my prayers....she has had a difficult year.

We never know what life will hand us but love can cover a multitude of hurt if we allow it :)

Blessings!
