2011 into 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

well, i am ringing in the new year on the couch with strep throat... but the Lord must have known that i needed a little extra rest before heading into 2012! i am pretty confident that this year holds some some exciting changes for our family... but for now, i just want to sit here, looking at my christmas tree, and remember... remember all the sweet sweet times i was blessed with... i've been a little teary all evening just thinking about how much Raybo and B mean to me... and how seriously blessed i am to have them in my life...

there is no one else in the world that fills my life with so much laughter... when i want to cry, he brings my smile out; when i want to get angry (usually at him), he makes the giggles start; and when i want to bust out laughing, my mans got the jokes!! my heart can barely fit all the love i have for you, honey... xoxo

and then there's this little football player that loves his mama, and he completes my world...

so glad that the Lord allowed these 2 precious boys to color my world with so much fun!

mommy's boy... man i'm one super blessed mama

thankful for all the "smiley faces" this little one has given his dad & mom

Psalm 23:5-6

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

a little update on my sweet friend Kim... last week, because of so many GENEROUS people, i was able to take her and her husband $800 and many presents for her 2 children! It was a precious moment as we opened the card with the money... her husband, had tears running down his cheeks and Kim kept mouthing, "You all did not have to do this for us." Nhu, Kim's husband, wanted everyone's addresses to send thank you notes. When Kim saw all the presents for her kids, she was overjoyed! They were both speechless and grateful! Thank you all that gave out the goodness of your heart. Above all, I know it was a fragrant offering to Jesus. Each of you hold a special place in my heart, and now in Nhu & Kim's heart... so thank you, thank you!!

Please continue to pray for Kim to have strength and motivation for the days to come. Her recovery will require much grace and strength... She also asked for prayer for her back pain, as she sits in bed most of the day, and also for her itching from certain medications. Above all, pray for salvation!! Jesus is in the midst of this suffering... I see His hands...

this is the only picture i have of Kim, from a while ago..

but its precious, and its a beautiful picture of such a sweet woman...
