Good Things Ahead...

It has been a while since I posted anything so I thought that I would take a little time today to do so. Life for me is good... Many exciting things coming my way for which I am so thankful.. I have been so amazed how God is leading and guiding in my life. They say things happen for a reason and I am true believer in this...
I am finding peace in my new life and looking forward to all the new things that God is sending my way. He has NEVER failed me, always been right there when I was sad, mad and all the other emotions that go along with sudden change. I'm so glad that I can start to see light at the end of my tunnel. I have so many people to thank for being their for me.. My wonderful kids.. Katressa & John & Kyle what would I have done without your love and support and understanding, my dear church family, I have NEVER felt so part of a church family as I do right now, those people there really love me, and of course my dear Wal-Mart friends they have helped me so much also. I hope that I can be of help to others by what I have learned from my experience.. Reminds me of the song, "Ain't God good to give us so many blessings undeserving that's what we are"...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hard to believe that my little girl is turning 29 today. It makes me feel so old. I can still remember that cold Feb. day that she entered the world. I was young and ignorant not knowing the first thing about having a baby and what all the responsibility that goes along with becoming a parent. Luckily for me she was a very gentle and tender child,( but with a very independent spirit which sometimes got her into trouble). I thank God everyday that He allowed Katressa to come into my life. She has been such a tremendous help to me learning to deal with what life has given me. I want her to know that I love her so much and am very proud of her and the way that she is doing everything in her power to have that happy family that she so deserves. Hope that you have a Happy Birthday dear Katressa...don't forget to come and get your cheesecake..

Right Place at the Right Time....

This past Wednesday, I was on my way to work and I thought that my car was making a strange sound on the passenger side by the back wheel. I had noticed a little sound the night before on my way home around 10:00, but I had forgotten all about it by the next morning. I pulled over 3 times and checked the back tire but couldn't see anything, I drove on a little further and it just sounded worse and I decided that I should stop, so I get out of the car not really knowing what I am looking for, and started immediately worrying about what to do, I then hear a truck honking its horn and see this little black pickup pulling up behind me and waving and I thought " Oh great I've got some redneck weirdo stopping to pick me up (ha) and it turns out to be dear Duane Lewis to my rescue... He says Nettie what do you think your doing? I replied "I haven't a clue" so he checks out my car and then he proceeds to tell me what he thinks it might be. He asked me to drive slow and follow him, so I do and he takes my car to his place and gives me the keys to his other vehicle and tells me to go on to work and he will fix my car and try to have it ready for me when I get off. He happened to be off that day so he ends up fixing my car and brings it to work for me. I really believe that Duane was meant to be there at that exact time.. He even had to go to Greenwood to get the part that was needed. Another interesting thing he got my car finished at 3:10 and still had time to go have his radiation treatment.. God so cares about the things in our life, so it looks like I owe someone dinner at Red Lobster.....

Great Quote! Had to share...

I ran across this today and I felt it was worth sharing.....



Let your past make you better not bitter....



I am striving very hard to make this a reality in my life.

Time to be Thankful

I know that the next few days are going to be crazy so before they start I want to give my thanks to my Heavenly Father. I want to make it known that I love Him so much, not for the things that He has given to me but for His gift of salvation. I'm so glad that He didn't discard me like an old shoe but He looked ahead in time and saw a shattered life that needed His love and He gave to so freely for me.

For the blessings that He has bestowed in my life, I am ever grateful for. My wonderful parents, my children, my grandchildren, my son-in-law, my sisters and my nieces and for all of the many friends that have come into my life. I just want to say that I feel so blessed.

Hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.....

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.. NAME THEM ONE BY ONE......

Packing Away The Past.

I've heard it said that time is the best healer of all, and I really think that is true. Over the past year I have been changing things, parting with some and even pitching some out.. Going through things brings back memories and makes you realize some things are gone forever. Asking myself questions "Do I keep this, what about that, or "I remember when we got this.. Some things have been easy to let go and others harder. I have it down to just pictures and certain special dishes that I'm need to deal with. The pictures I'm pretty sure how to handle but the dishes still thinking that one over, after this I feel like I will be able to shut the box and that be the end. Never thought I'd get to this point, and I'm NOT looking back....
