When I picked Aimee up from school on Friday, I had a mother's day book she gave me. It said this..... (oh and btw, this is HER spelling, not mine)

My mom is so speasl (special).
She is prettier then a princess.
She is the best mom ever.
My mom loves cook chicken (she told me later she left out the to in the sentence).
My mom is the best!

A couplet by AimeeMy mom is so cute I hope she likes the floot (flute).My mom is so pritty. she probly likes a kitty.TEARS! This makes all the tough times worth it. Best coffee table book I could ever have.

Aimee has also started karate. She looks so grown up in there going "hiya" and blocking her coach. We had 3 lessons and a uniform for $20 so we shall see how good she does before we committ to it.

Weekend at Carol's

We went to Carol's this weekend.....Saw my dad, stepmother, momma, and D's parents. This is our "Mother's Day" weekend....

Mother's Day is always a hard day for me. There were many many years I longed for just "one" child to hold in my arms. I remember praying, crying, fasting, begging....just for God to let me have a child.

Here is a poem that I want to share with you. You will find it on my blog from last year.....i want to never forget.

…For the married women who desire to have children and cannot.

Also, for the single women who desire children yet are getting weary waiting on a spouse. God understands your situation and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the Holy Spirit will comfort your heart and give you peace and that our Father God would grant you your petition. Amen.” (1 Samuel 1:2-17)

For the single mom. God understands your challenge and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the grace of God will sustain you, the wisdom of God lead you, the love of God encompass you, and the provisions of God overtake you. Amen.” (Philipians 4:13)

For the moms with a child who has chosen a destructive lifestyle and is in a physical or spiritual prison. God understands your concern and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the Holy Spirit would convict them of sin. We ask for the perfect laborers to cross their path. We thank God for their salvation, deliverance and restoration. Amen.” (Proverbs 11:21)

For all the moms who experience grief on Mothers Day because of miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or a childs death outside the womb.

For all those men and women who experience grief on Mothers Day because of the loss of their mom. God understands and we care. “In the name of Jesus we ask that the Holy Spirit will comfort your hearts and give you peace. Jesus bore your grief so you don’t have to. Jesus we thank you for removing the grief and healing the heart. Amen” (Isaiah 53:4)

In the name of Jesus we pray for all of our mothers on Mothers Day. May God our Father bless you and strengthen you and encourage you. May your eyes be opened that you and others may see that your price is far above rubies and may your children rise up and call you blessed. (Proverbs 31:10-31)”

Aimee singing!

This is Aimee singing Yakety Yak from her school performance that is tomorrow! I got a new camcorder so I can do videos of her growing up. Hopefully, this will be a way for our family and friends to keep up with our family.

Let's see what has happened since the last post. We moved to Little Rock for D to take a job at Levy Baptist Church (www.levybaptist.com). Go check it out cause it's a wonderful site! We are enjoying the church fellowship and our new friends, Steven and Theresa (the pastor and his wife). We are going to be good buddies! (Hi Steven and Theresa).

Nancy is coming to see me soon. She was in the last post in case you are wondering. I am also taking Aimee and going to Shreveport this weekend to see Carol and Lexie and my mom and dad. WHOO HOO, Family Reunion! I will also get a chance to see D's parents so all in all, we will have all the family covered.

Hope you have a blessed day.

Friends

Let me show you some recent pictures of my trip with my friend, Nancy. She is my friend from Florida and I just love her. She could pass as my sister (although she is the sister of my heart). We had such a good time just hamming it up for the camera.

In other news.....

We are moving from Eldo to Little Rock! We are so very excited about this move...it will be good for our family. Darrell has taken a job as the Associate Pastor of Administration and Education at Levy Baptist Church. It's very exciting. We have met a large majority of the church family and its as if we are coming home which is always a good sign.

We will covet your prayers for this move. It's always hard to move and Aimee will have to leave during the school year which we have not done before. I am already job searching so hopefully this will happen when we get there.
