100th Post!

My 100th Post. It will be short and sweet! Thanks for all the inspiring posts it really helped me run back to "God" this week and reach out for help and guidance instead of staying in my darkness. Thanks you so much xoxoxo

And, my dd, I am so proud of you. She had a fabulous year. Perrfect scores on both state tests, math and english which get you into highschool, mvp for the school softball team, played the drums at Carnigie hall, discovered how good of an artist she is, met a friend that is a real "best friend", made sure I had the best birthday and the list goes on. You excelled in everything and you are growing up! I love you so much, your are a great kid and I couldn't ask for a better daughter. You have made my life 10,000 times better.

I love you, love me xo

Climbing back up

Wow, I guess its true sometimes you have to let go of that damn rope to be caught, I found this on a lovely girls facebook page today. And I just remembered its Fingerprint friday. I had a really bad week, among other things, the bottom line is I can barely afford to keep a roof over our heads and this week it really got to me. Really. But God stepped in by putting some new friends in my path. Fingerprint Friday happens every Friday. A day started by Beckie at Pampering Beckie here. How does God touch your life share it on your blog and paste the link on Beckies.

FingerPrint Friday

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel, stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel and sometimes we just have to go with 'Whatever happens-happens'"

Everything happens for a reason: to touch someone's heart, to open someone's eyes, to bless a life. Take nothing for granted; Live everyday to the fullest and have no regrets. Tomorrow is not certain or promised and our last breathe is not determined by us. Life's too short to be anything but happy.

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
- John Mayer

Daily Quote

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen

Faith Lost

I always considered myself a very spiritual person. I always had faith and was always able to pull myself up off the ground when things got bad but somehow that has dissapeared. My faith is gone.
There are 2 things I can point my finger to that made this happen, one my friend Larry died of a heroin overdose--he was big into 12 step programs and seemed to be really trying, he had over a year clean. I saw him in the morning and that night he was gone. The next thing, I was reading on someones etsy shop. Her brother and his friend were hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq, the girl said Thank you Jesus thankyou everyone for all the prayers, my brother survived. But what about the friend, he died so did one live because people prayed harder. I don't get it anymore. I don't get the grace thing how can one person have God's Grace and not another it doesn't make sense. What good is praying if both parents were praying for their sons and one lived and one died what good is the prayer.
I hate being far away from God, my faith is what kept me goingall these years now I feel so alone and abandoned and hopeless.

Just finished!! And in my shop!
