He is Risen indeed!!!!!! Praising Him all day long!!!! We had a great breakfast at church then a nice service. After church we had dinner with Sarah's side of the family here at the Dike Baptist Church. Then we came home and met the family that took the bunkbed out of our way. I moved a couple of things to make it walkable and more spacious now that the bed is out of the way. Alex and I are loving the space and keep walking in it. I don't have a before pic except on facebook but I do have the spacious picture. Bunkbed was where the white dresser is and had an inch in between the end of bed to couch. The dresser was at end of my bed and next to couch with little walk room in between bed and dresser.The table that is at end of bed now was next to china cupboard in corner. Space between china cupboard and bed was a sideways body and was tight.

After that we went to Don and Sarah's for Alex to roast marshmallows and hotdogs while Sarah and her cousin Anna and I visited and played Dutch Blitz. I had a headache most of the day and ended up with a small migraine this afternoon around 5pm. I took a maxalt before going over to their house and then had a coke there and by time I left (with 9 people there) it was gone. Don't know if it was the medication or coke or company but grateful it is gone.

I am so glad to be home for a change and able to worship with my church family here. I am looking forward to this month as I continue to grow in the Lord and learn what He has instore for me as well. I am grateful to tell you that I am Lovin Life and enjoying what I have around me. Thank you Lord. I love you and thank you for bearing my punishment on that cross.

Tomorrow is Easter and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Father that cared enough about me that He beared my pain on that cross I nailed Him to. Looking forward to the celebration of the Risen King. I can not wait to be in the presence of the Lord amongst others. Where two or three are gathered there He will be. I can not thank God enough for sparing my life and bringing me through some difficult trying trials. I am in awww of Him.



Tonight Alex and I painted our nails to match our outfits. We had fun today even though it was a laxed day due to me not able to sleep last night. Last night we enjoyed the evening with our cousins that live 6 miles from us and enjoyed dinner and game/movie together. It has been awhile since seeing them and it was nice to see them again. Hopefully, not to much time passes before we do it again. Today Alex and I spent a laxed day together. I pray that she will see and know the love of God for herself and that she will hunger for Him and follow His ways. She is so sweet and caring. She is giving up her bunkbed,which I didn't ask her she told me I could get rid of them if I wanted to, so we can have more room in our small house we are renting. She has been sleeping on floor anyways due to rolling around so much her sheets come off within 10 minutes. Even though I am eagerly wanting a house that I can actually unpack in, I am thankful that God was able to give me the time and money to save so that when this set back came I didn't have to wonder or worry where was I gonna get the funds from,that I had it. Thank you God. His timing is always the best.

I see the doctor for my foot checkup on Monday. It is doing better than last time but still swells alot and sometimes causes pain. I am not worried though because I have a friend who has had the same injury that even after a year it sometimes gives her problems. I know in God's time it will be healed and in the meantime I am doing what I can to do my part in the healing process.

Alex and I are still having our date nights. It has been a blast. I look forward to it each week and always eagerly awaiting. It is less than 2 months before we meet up with Jennifer and go to Disney World together for a week.

I pray and hope each one of you will have a blessed Easter and rejoice and be grateful in Him. Happy Easter.

I took my nephew and daughter easter shoe shopping two weekends ago and when at mall took them to see easter bunny as well. It is very rare for grandma and grandpa to have a picture of both grandkids together so we got them an easter gift of a picture together.

Well, these past couple weeks have brought me down. It was like I couldn't breathe with everything that was coming at me to make me question my faith again. Thankfully God revealed Himself to me just when I needed to have a sign to stay strong in Him. He used others to help me press through the storm and be able breathe alittle better. I can say that I am doing much better now as several of the situations are settled. The one remaining will probably remain for awhile yet and I am praying it will not hit me as bad next time.

Since I have had to dish out alot of money to do taxes and pay Uncle Sam, it has put a big dent in my savings for a house. But God knows my desires and will have the funds and right home for us at the right time. It will be hard to find one that we both will like since we liked the one back home.

Alex and I are still doing our date night once a week. I am enjoying the time we have. We have had our ups and downs this week though as I got frustrated with the fact of difference of idea of what is clean and not. So I errupted and pointed out the uncleanliness and it was not a nice tone. I felt sick to my stomach afterwords and she went to bed crying. But this morning she woke up and apologized and so did I. So we are doing life and it gets better each time but still have ways to work on.

Since going home this past weekend, I have had a hard time breathing and feeling ill and then today even had to be in bathroom towards end of day quite often. I think it is from the train derailment of the coal cars and breathing in the air of it. Not sure as another employee has been sick for the past two days as well to where she hasn't been in to work.

Alex and I went and got our picture taken tonight for the church directory. I was not pleased on the poses but I am never pleased. I wish I would have had my hair down but still looked good. I just hate my picture taken.

I am thankful to God for giving us His Son so that we may live. I am grateful for His mercy and compassion. I am delighted that He loves me for who I am. I am unworthy of His forgiveness but am very much appreciative of His forgiveness.
