I have the best husband ever...no, really.

miracles

This picture is of my family at Easter in 1971. My oldest sister, Tammy (on bottom left), my dad, Billy Hornsby, my mom, Charlene Hornsby, (she is pregnant with my little sister, Shary) and myself (on bottom right).

The miracle in this picture is my beautiful, pregnant mom who was 21 at the time. She was dying of cancer, sent home from the hospital after many failed treatments ...the doctors could do nothing else to help her. When they could help her no longer, Jesus healed her!

She will turn 60 this weekend!
Happy Birthday Mom...you are a blessing and a miracle! I love you!

My daughter also celebrated her 20th birthday this month. Time flies.

Life is a miracle .... enjoy it!

help, please

From now on, now that I have a new blog skin/format, I will choose font colors that coordinate. Wait!!!! Where is my tool bar to set my font color/size!?!?!? Sheesh...I need help.....Natalie!!!!!!!!!

no thought of tomorrow

Enjoying another day of summer, free from a job, but not from work. I am supposed to be cleaning my kitchen, instead, I am looking up restaurants for my date with my ^^hubby^^ tonight. hee hee! I can always clean my kitchen! :)

I have been thinking a lot lately...life makes you do this. Been thinking about the future... what will I be and where will I be....who will be with me to enjoy this life and who won't. We dont know the future and sometimes thats good. It leaves me guessing. I just have to cling onto that scripture in the Bible, Matthew 6:34 "Take no thought of tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself." Thats peace from the Word.

Anyway, I am happy to have the life I live. God chose me and I am glad I chose Him. He blesses me and makes me who I am. He gave me the most wonderful husband, daughter, sisters, parents and friends! Couldnt ask for more!

home

Home from vacation. I actually feel like I needed a break from having so much fun. Is that possible?

It was so fun being with my family with no distractions. It was a super bonding time and just plain fun. But any day should be fun with family. It makes me think about each moment we are together....We should make the most of it.

I am so happy to be back in B'ham. So thankful God placed us here. I thank Him everyday.

(My daughter, Natalie and nephew, Michael)

I know I havent updated in a while. Now that school is out, I will try to collect my thoughts and jot them down. Do people really want to read these things? LOL!

I am really going to enjoy this summer. I have the beach trip coming up next week. In June, I will plan some short day trips with my friends, Mom and sisters. Basically, shopping trips. But thats fun, right?

Really going to miss my students! Being with them everyday was fun and I feel like they are my own. I will have to look for them at church. Now I am so anxious for next year. Blessed to know that I will see them in the halls.....

This summer, I am going to set my alarm clock. Really. No beauty sleep for me. No sleeping until lunch time approaches. No sleeping in! It messes my life up going to bed late and sleeping late. So early to bed and early to rise. Now, dont get me wrong, early to rise isnt actually going to be early. It means 8:00am.

So, I hope you enjoy your summer like I will. Spend some time with your family. It's going to be awesome.

Oh .... John 16:33 "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

advice

i want to help people who need help. i dont like giving advice when i know its all in vain. i want people to change when they ask for help. why does it seem so easy for me to change? why is it so hard for someone to come out of something so painful and hard? can't they just say "no more" and move on? i struggle with this...i shouldnt.

anyway, life is good...work is good.
