I am forever grateful.

It's funny, as you get older there are more and more lessons you just get. It is true that old saying "if I only knew then what I know now", imagine what you could do, or what you might not do ~

I know I don't ever want to look back and wish I would have done this, or wish I would have done that.

I know that I love my family dearly and truly feel blessed that I have them in my life.

I know that my journey on this earth, in this life has been full of twists and turns that I never ever believed I would endure, but each day I feel stronger yet weaker.

I know that I am not in control as we each like to believe that we are. Why is this so important to us....

Why do bad things happen to good people?

*What is twitter and is this similar to what it is? Random thoughts that some how fit...

Isn't that how life is!

As I have said before 2009 has not been the year we thought it would be, but we have each other and that's really all that matters.

Life

Life has been teaching us a few things the past 4 months, and we only hope for some good things to come in 2009. So far this year has brought some heart-break to our family as well as lots of testing of our faith.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.
