It's not a Good Friday, it's a GREAT Friday!

In honor of Good Friday.

I believe what I believe and that's not up for discussion.

I used to be a lost sinner who didn't believe in nothing.

Then at an Easter drama back in 2002 I saw things that moved me.  

A depiction of the death of Jesus that brought tears to my eyes.

This made me question things and began a stirring in my heart.

I was a "good" person, but being "good" does not get you into a right relationship with God or get you to heaven - Jesus does! 

I am the same old me, but with a different set of convictions and trying to live by the Word of God and trust me, I fail every.single.day. (This is where grace comes in!!)   Once you belong to Him, who is HOLY, He's the one who changes your heart.  It's hard most days.   The evil one out there in the world wants to drag you away and get you caught up in ungodly things, making you feel even more guilty.  Being a Christian isn't easy and it isn't promised that all your troubles will disappear, it just means you learn better ways of handling them and you have a hope and faith in God.

Wanna know about Jesus?  Ask me! 

It's been a while, but I'm still here

As a person who absolutely LOVES to write, I have not been writing much at all lately, not even in my journal!  Life has dealt it's fair share of glitches and I'm been feeling like a one legged cat on a frozen pond trying to bury a turd!  Everything has just seemed hopeless, but it's looking up finally.
Been dealing withI he loss of my mother, being in a financial bind and just feeling very bleak and low.  Trying to keep myself busy - which is currently working to keep my mind off of things..... I got a puppy!  After 11 years of not having a dog, I thought I just might be ready to be a pet parent again.  A friend of mine had a female italian greyhound who was expecting puppies with his male chihuahua, so I just couldn't help myself!   My puppy was born January 6, 2013 and we "met" him on February 20, then the next night we picked him up and brought him to his forever home, with us :) He's awesome!  He is very loved and he's a very welcome addition here.  He gets lots of love and attention.  Guess I was more ready than I thought I was.  So glad I got him!   He's been very healing to me, takes my mind off of things, gives me something else to focus on and take care of and nurture.  I just love him to pieces.

I have another blog in honor of my kids, it's www.mydirtynerdys.blogspot.com.  Therefore, my pooch is referred to as my "therd nerd". (Misspelled on purpose)

I LOVE MY THERD NERD!!!
