When I don't have the answers.

My mind is processing events of my day...it is one of those days that I again was God-placed into a situation where I was like screaming in my heart, "Jesus, just do something!  The burden is not mind to carry however and I am learning that sometimes that just to sit, pray, listen, eat and laugh IS the doing something.  The video is a throwback to my teen years when Casting Crowns first came out, but the story in it of the heart behind this song is so so true!  This is what my day was about...to be Jesus with skin on and now its up to the Spirit to grow that seed.  He is the Savior I am not!  "The love of her life is drifting away  They're losing the fight for another day  The life that she's known is falling apart  A fatherless home, a child's broken heart  You're holding her hand, you're straining for words  Your trying to make - sense of it all  She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view  She's looking to you. Just love her

Meet my sisters...

My 3 Sisters and I Christmas 2013 I grew up in a home of 6 kids. I was #5 and the baby girl!  The beauties in the left  photo are my sisters and I.  When I look at this picture it is hard for me to hold back my smile... & then I think beyond the picture!  I think of the days when we all lived together...shared rooms, moments of anger, moments when we laughed so hard the tears ran down my legs :) I think of how I viewed them being the youngest...I watched their every move, how they did their hair, how they dressed, how they sang...I wanted to be just like them!  I was there when they had their first crushes, when they fell off their bikes and when they got sick...I was watching!  I also think of the struggles they've had. They had to deal with having a sister who is handicapped and maybe did not always get the attention they needed--carrying walkers, putting on leg braces, having to explain me...and yet they did it and I would not be here without their support.  These faces
