Happy Blessed New Year!



Happy New Year!  What a year it was!  BJ had two surgeries and is on the mend to a healthier 2019.  Beau and Angel celebrated their first year of marriage and a move to a great place.  Beau starts school for getting accepted into the Union.  Angel is working with little children and we are so proud of both of them.  Maria moved closer to school and got a car.  She is getting ready to graduate and is still working on her business.  We are so proud of her and love seeing all the wonderful changes coming her way.  Ireland is Revving up for a new semester at Franciscan and loving being on campus more.  She was so extraordinary in helping renovate part of the house, so talented. We are so proud of her and all the things she is learning.  Trinity is very much in love with ballet.  Taking it three days a week and on the home front working with her lamb for Farm Show.  She loves her on-line classes and is moving so fast!  She can’t learn enough.  We are so proud of her.  Kate is going into the second half of her school year.  She loves school and is quite popular I have found!  Seems all the teachers and therapists know her.  She is wearing her glasses more and starting to use a communication device.  We are very proud of her and her triumphs. 

 After I have told you all about my family, you see I am busy.  The best thing to happen was getting closer to all my siblings and always my Mom.  I feel that peace can be difficult but through God anything is possible.  I’m humbled and grateful for all His blessings.

 So here is to 2019 being a loving, peaceful joyful year with much anticipation with what is to come.  Soon to be married 24 years and they all said it wouldn’t last!  Well it has and again God has blessed us with so many many gifts.

Don't Judge a Special Needs Family

Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever tried to do the right thing and have a whole bunch of wicked come hurling at you? What did you do? Did you start to endlessly explain your motives so it could be twisted by the few people that dislike you? Or did you stay silent? Staying silent is not my strong point, thus the blog.;) When I became pregnant with Looly (Kate), I noticed some big changes within myself. I had to fight to keep her alive because of a difficult pregnancy. Then at the end of my pregnancy I had to fight to keep us both alive. Then we were told Looly had Down Syndrome. At that time, we were grateful to God that she was alive and later we were thanking God that her heart was healthy and there was no neurological damage. She just has Down Syndrome. Just Down Syndrome. Say those words...just Down Syndrome. That is what I do, I simplify difficult things, then reflect and think I'm crazy. I was connected to this child at conception. I begged God to let me car...

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Happy New Year! Life is Good!

Praising God for all His blessings in our lives this past year and asking Him for His graces in 2018! This past year was busy and very telling.  Kate getting into her special school and thriving!  We can't wait to see what 2018 brings.  This school is better than we imagined and we are so grateful for every single person at this school. This New Year is the year for true forgiveness.  To forgive.  Forgiveness is not a feeling, it’s an action.  I find myself drawn to love and forgiveness more this New Year than ever.  To be free of condemnation.  To support BJ in our new business endeavors!  We have such high hopes and the future is bright with promise.  God has this!  He always has this! So Happy New Year everyone and may God keep and bless you in 2018 and always!
