People come into our life disguised as angels, and sometimes angels come into our life disguised as people.  It is possible to see God anywhere.  All it takes are open eyes and ears and the willingness to see miracles.  They are everywhere.  God is as available as we are.  Having friends that inspire us to rise to greater and higher levels is an awesome gift.  Surround yourself with people who inspire you to do better and inspire your friends as well.  It is a profound truth that people we spend time with shape the path that we will travel.

Good Wednesday morning!!  How is everyone's week going? I wasn't feeling so well yesterday but am much better today.  I had tried starting the white cell booster shots again and had another allergic reaction to it and developed flu like symptoms.  So when I see Dr. McClay in March we will discuss another option.  God is good......I had to be on these shots during my whole time on chemo and I did absolutely fine.  Another miracle!

Here are a couple of pictures of Tyler and I playing in the yard.  Here I am pulling Tyler and his doggie Rusty in the wagon.  Tyler loved it but I don't think Rusty was to sure about it.

Here we are just playing. 

My e-mail is really acting up.  I haven't been able to send or respond to a lot of them.  Mike is working on the problem for me.  Hopefully some of you received new ones last night.  I apologize and hope it is fixed soon.

Happy Birthday to my cousin Brittany Hobbs!!  Have a super fun day!!

Prayer requests:  Please pray for an 18 year old girl named Haley who just recently found out she has a brain tumor and is having brain surgery today.  They do not know yet if the tumor is cancerous.  Let's pray that it isn't and for her surgery to go smooth.  Also continued prayers for Lorri Bigger Cavins.  Her insurance company denied the treatment.  They said the drugs are more experimental for melanoma and won't cover it.  Pray for a new plan to develop soon.

Jeremiah 17 verses  7 & 8:  But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.  He is like a tree planted along a river bank, with its roots reaching deep into the water--a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought.  Its leaves stay green and it goes right on producing all its lucious fruit.

Question of the day.....Yikes!!  Are your gas prices going up too?  How much are you paying per gallon in your area?  It is like $3.50 a gallon here.

Thank you God for the promises of your word, for they are our source of both faith and HOPE.  Your word gives me great HOPE, faith and confidence.

Good Tuesday morning!!  I had another wonderful 3 day weekend.  Church on Sunday was awesome.  We hung out at Jenna & Ryan's on Sunday evening, watched Amazing Race and Jenna had made a great dinner.  Yesterday we had Tyler with us.  He is a joy and is constantly making us laugh.  He loves to play outside, throw balls and read books.  Mike and I must have read to him 50 times yesterday. We love it.  I am so thankful for each day!

Here is a picture of Tyler hanging out in his back yard.

I would like to wish my niece Audrey a very "Happy Birthday" today!!  Have a super fun day Audrey!!

Prayer requests:  I have an urgent prayer request for all of the prayer warriors.....Could you please pray for Lorri Bigger Cavins?  She needs to start chemo treatments again for her melanoma cancer and her insurance is still not approving it. Apparently the drugs she needs to take are approved for other type of cancers but not melanoma.  Please pray that the insurance board of review will quit dragging their feet and get it approved for her.  Pray that she hears an answer today.  Also as some of you know, medical expenses can get so high and it can be stressful.  Please pray that God will provide for Lorri and her family and that she won't have to worry about money.  Pray for her peace, strength and to be encouraged.  We love you Lorri and are here for you. 

Jeremiah 29 verse 11:  For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.  They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Good Monday morning!  How was your weekend?  I am sure there are many of you still enjoying a long weekend too.  Poppi Mike and I have our sweet Tyler Michael with us today.  Looking forward to a fun play day!

Here is Tyler with his new bright yellow ball that we bought him.  He loves to throw balls.  He saw a big bin of assorted balls at the store the other day.  He kept pointing to one certain ball that he wanted.  It was a football!  I got it for him and he said, "football!"  Awwww.....Nani was proud!  He talks like crazy and can count to five.  He is learning so much.

Happy Birthday to Ethan Cosio and Ruth Cushing!  Have a fun day today!

Ouestion of the day..........Do you like to put together puzzles?  I do.  I have great memories of doing puzzles with my mom when I was young.  I haven't put one together in years though.

Good Saturday morning!!  Ahhhh........the start of another 3 day weekend!  It is a very wet Saturday too.  Lots of rain last night and so far this morning.  It looks like a great day to curl up on the couch with a warm blanket, a good book and a cup of coffee.  Maybe make some cookies too!  Mike and I had scheduled out this morning to sit down and get our taxes done for the year.  But instead, we got a second wind last night and stayed up late and got them all done.  Yay!  So this morning it will be all about cleaning house and doing laundry.  Then we will be chillaxing.  We are going to be hanging out with the family today.

Tomorrow is a busy Sunday morning at church for us.  Then tomorrow night we are headed to Jenna and Ryans for dinner and to start watching the new season of The Amazing Race!  We all love that show.

I had a great time at your house last night Bethany.  It was fun and as always your make great food!

Here is a picture of my sweet grandbaby Tyler on Valentine's Day when Jenna dropped him off at our house.  Look what his daddy Ryan did to his hair! hahaha!  He is so cute!

Prayer requests:  For a young mom (Michelle) of two young children who is recovering from cancer and has severe epilepsy, severe asthma and other health related issues.  Please pray for her health to get better, the seizures to stop and that the quality of her life will improve.  Each day of her life is hard. 

2 Timothy 3 verses 16 & 17:  The whole bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right.  It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

Love means to love that which is unlovable, or it is no virtue at all;  forgiving means to pardon that which is unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all;  and to HOPE means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all.---G. K. Chesterton  (Thanks Terrie for giving me this great quote!)

Good Friday morning!!  HOPE abounds!  HOPE is real!  It is believing that something is possible even when everything looks like it isn't.  God is with us and He is for us!  Don't give up.  Cling to HOPE and hold on tightly to it with your hearts.  Our HOPE is in the Lord!

Yahoo....it is Friday!  I have another 3 day weekend!  I could really get use to having a 4 day work week.  :) The work week just seemed to fly by.  I have another full weekend ahead, but it is all good.
