Inspired

Thanks to a friend who just moved away I have decided to start blogging here and making note of all the great things God has put in plac ein my life. I have been bloggin for years. Sometimes just private entries for me to look back on and remember.. sort of like a diary, but this blog is for me, my family and friends who I wish to share how awesome life truly is and how Gods grace will SHINE on you no matter what it feels like you are going thru IF you allow it to happen. Stop trying and start trusting is always my favorite thing to say!
Anyway Im glad to be doing this here now. I love to write, but I will warn you when I get to going type way too fast and make major typos, so either just hang with it or if they annoy you too much dont read! haha!
Right now in my life im attempting to jumpstart a small catering business with a friend. So far we have a full menu, which I may post if anyone is interested so I can get feedback. Ive gotten letterhead designed and business cards ont heir way. Int he process of getting the legalities of it all done for just small events so far (probably 50 or less to begin with like showers, parties small weddings, office meetings, etc) and then we will see where it takes us.
Ahh my children. I had to smile as I just looked over at my camera and realized i need to unplug it. I downloaded some adorable pics of Vivian this morning. My youngest little chub.. she makes me smile from ear to ear. So adorable. Lexie and Deuce adore her as well... they make my life so complete.
We are currently missing Daddy a lot. He has been gone for nearing 5 weeks and its wearing on us, but we will make it the next 10 days or so until his return. I usualy do not do this wellw ith separation from him, but I am giving myself a big pat nt he back (and a HUGE thanks to God for my strength!). Let me tell you, thigns sure are easier when you can rely on Gods word to speak life into your circumstances rather than believe what the devil throws at you.. and BOY has he thrown some crap at me lately. It seems just before Doug left I wa sknee deep in hurt, anguish, anxiety and just unexplainable attacks in my ilfe... but I feel like I have rose above all of it and did what was right. I apologized for any wrong I may have done, I prayed diligentl about it and I pressed on. One thing i have learned int his short walk I have had so far with God is that we cannot change others.. we can only pray for them and hope that the wisdom God has for them in their walk with life comes to them. Wrong or right it is the truth.
So Im off to get the smallest of my 3 kidlets out of bed and then Im off to the grocery store. That can be quite an adventure with a 3 and 2 year old AND an almost 6 month old. Wow.. Vivi will be 6 months old on July 11th.. HOW is that possible???
Ciao for now my lovelies.
