Hello Again!

It's been over a year since I did this blog. I'm sorry to admit that I didn't continue to write about the bible plan I was working on. I've since completed quite a few bible plans since then. Ever since I left CCC I feel guilty for not spending a good 30 minutes or an hour in prayer, reading scripture...even if I don't understand what I'm reading. I'm a better person for it, even when I'm just praying and asking God for things that He knows are already on my heart:

• Dad's health: he's been hurting so much and we can't figure out what is wrong. A different doc appnt every week. Mom's frustrated and just wants Dad to feel better. I'm hoping a change in the dialysis will do the trick. 
• Maw Maw to be ok and taken care of in the Nursing home. I know Chris is the admin there and Jenny Theriot is there doing therapy for her but still it is sad knowing someone is not with her every minute like it was when she was home with Mom. 
• Mom: I just ask for blessings to be bestowed on her and everything she gives to others so unselfishly with nothing in return but maybe a little time with her family. That's all she ever asks for. Time! 
• Good work days. 
• Carey's heart. I want him to quit smoking and I want him to want another child. I want a baby so bad. One. Healthy. Baby. I want Claire to have a sibling. 

I'm so thankful for all the blessings that God has bestowed on Carey and I. The greatest of these is Claire. I love her so much and I hope she is making the Lord proud. I hope I'm doing right by her. I also hope for another one like her. Maybe a little boy. Maybe Carey and I can adopt a child later. Maybe one that is already a little older potty trained and well behaved. I know there are children out there who need love. I know I have love to give. 

I'm also very thankful to God for this amazing opportunity he's given Carey and I to build our dream home. I would have never though it possible. I don't think I could have dreamed it any better. We may have a slab by the weekend, God willing. Lord I ask right now for good weather this week so progress can be made and I pray for a not so rainy rest of 2017 and ask for quick and as perfect as possible completion. I know we can use this house for the good of people and the Lord and I know it will be a blessing to many. 

I can't wait to have girls nights and pokenno games, and bible studies, and sleep overs (for me and Claire) and just family gatherings at our house. I want to bring everyone together. 

Thanks be to God for all he's done.
