It's Been A Long Time.....But I'm Back Baby!

So much has happened since I was on here last. Probably too much to tell and I would burn up the keyboard or something. LOL

Just to keep it simple, we have moved into the house that was so graciously offered to us by some dear friends. We are renting/taking care of their "stuff" til they get back from a 3 year PCS.
School has started, so has football, so has the Teeny Boppers running us ragged, so has the church stuff and so on and so forth.

I have quit my job and on to find the next adventure, hopefully with less drama!!!!!

And now I sit here in a quiet house while everyone is off to do their stuff and it is time for my scheduled break down that I said I would have after all the moving and shuffling and friends leaving and drama and well you know......

God has show himself faithful in all of this. He was in it from the start of all of this mess....BIG HOT MESS!
And yet I still have times of fear, doubt, worry, questioning and yet despite all of that He still chooses to give me just a moment in His arms to tell me He loves me. He's proud of me. That He is truly there and He always will be.
You see just when I think my tiara is too tarnished to step anywhere close to His presence, He lifts my chin and polishes it up a little and straightens it and brushes my tears from my cheeks and says He's still there.

I know one day I'll get it right and it won't be such a crazy mess my life. But for now I'm so thankful for His grace. For just knowing that He's there.......

So now I feel a challenge coming out of this lesson. Who will I be "there" for. To show them that same grace. In times when that person doesn't have a close relationship with PaPa can I be the bridge to Him.

How about you? Will you be used in the same way?

Working Again!

Well I am in the workforce again.
This is a good thing I guess-financially it will help.

But, the one thing you cannot put a price on is time with friends, family and yourself!

Time with friends keeps you sane....well, ok somewhat sane! LOL My friends are the greatest! We laugh, we talk, we listen, etc. It just makes this journey easier to have that time with friends.

Time with family, I don't like not seeing my kids during the summer. I feel like they need me there still even if they don't think they do. We hang out, we talk, I get to know them. They are growing so fast and I don't want to miss a moment of that.
And spending more time with my husband. We see what it's going to be like without the kids when they are grown and gone. I don't want to wake one morning and wonder who this weirdo is next to me! LOL (Just kidding, I love my hubby dearly)

Time with yourself, yeah I know as a mom you don't get much of this, but it is a good thing. You have time to think, pray, reflect on how truly good God has been to you. See where He's brought you from and see where He's taking you.

The distractions of this life take all of that away. Sometimes it can be prevented but sometimes it can't.

Our teeny-bopper is about to start driving. Which means more gas, higher insurance so on and so forth.

Now all I have time for is to sit back and say, "Where did the time go, How did we get here so fast."

June 20th Happy Father's Day!

WOW what a day! We had an amazing day today with friends.
I got to thinking about the friends I had BC (Before Christ) and the friends that I have now LC (Living With Christ). The comparison.....well it is ridiculous!
The friends I have now have been Heaven Sent and there is no doubt about that! I AM BLESSED!

The greatest thing is that I didn't have to work on who I was or am to get these friends. God already knew who I needed in my life, in my families lives.

God does that for us because He gives His children GOOD gifts! He looks at who we are and takes into consideration all of our likes, dislikes, silly things, hard things....etc and He sends us people to compliment who we are, to sharpen us, to give us love in hard to love areas and to give us a joy that is unspeakable and full of Glory! It is a glimpse of Him....WE ARE JESUS WITH SKIN ON! (That is something to shout about!)

So I'm sure your asking what this has to do with Father's Day? My husband is my friend! I count him as one of those friends that I just talked about. It took us a while to get there, but the fact that we are getting there is all that counts.

Have a great week everyone! We will talk again soon!

Hey Everybody!!!!!!

Well, here we go! I have started a blog. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing because I tend to put more of my thoughts on paper than I speak.

I am currently a SAHM blessed with 2 children and a great husband of 16 years.

Those 16 years have not always been the greatest but we are learning together. I think that is what makes a good marriage. If you can learn together, grow together and make it without killing each other or giving up then it should be pretty good!

We are active pursuers of Christ! Once again this has not been all that easy, but we know that there is no greater love on the earth than the precious love and gift that Christ has given us.

My purpose for this blog is to share that gift with others. To unveil a destiny, to embark on a journey and to run a race that can be won!

So I guess you are wondering where I got the name?

I have had a hard life, full of disappointments, abuse, anger....etc. Who hasn't? But what I have figured out in this active pursuit of my Lord is that when I gave my heart to Him He adopted me and gave this Royal Blood Line and that I was no longer a peasant but a Princess of Kingdom. Not an earthly Kingdom, but a Heavenly Kingdom. A Kingdom that will not fall, will not fail and will not keep me as a peasant or a pauper.

I'll share some stuff as we go about myself and then share with you what I've learned about becoming and believing in this Royalty. And I hope that along the way you will see that your destiny is to walk in freedom, victory and royalty!

Thanks for following, now let's walk together.......
