It has been awhile since I wrote a blog . I have been so busy with my new job and all that entails  plus there were times I would try to log on and I was having issues then the responsibilities of my life would take over again. Today I walked in the office determined to get to my website and I did. I finally downloaded a new browser. So I really just want to say hello and apologize for being away for so long. It has been over a month since I posted anything and what a month it has been. On Memorial Day a new chapter began in my life as I started a new job as a sales counselor with HistoryMaker Homes. It was a somewhat frightening change as I had spent 8 years with Highland and my boss Jeff. But I stepped out in faith and God has blessed me tremendously. I am so thankful , HE has given me the ability to do this job and HE has given me success.  You have to change to grow and I know HE opened these doors and it is because of his favor and my preparation that I am succeeding. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

 

At the end of June we celebrated Riley's 6th birthday . It was bittersweet for me because it was her third birthday without Alexis. She had three with her and now three without. Those numbers and time frames always affect me . But Alexis is forever alive in our hearts and souls. I am determined for Riley to never forget her Heaven Momma. Again I am thankful for God's grace and mercy . He has brought forth the healing in my heart, mind, and soul . I still miss my daughter so very much and there are times it hits me that she is really gone. This loss would be unbearable with the Lord so I just cling to HIM.

 

Last week I celebrated 12 years clean off of drugs and alcohol. It is amazing to remember who I was back then. I can barely recognize that girl. God has transformed me from the inside out. I know that I am a walking miracle . And again my heart is filled with gratitude for Jesus and the work HE has done and continues to do in my life.  

 

Then yesterday I celebrated 28 years of marriage which is only possible by the grace of God .

 

Bottom line is my life would be nothing without the Lord and all HIS amazing interventions. I love how he works. God Bless and I will be better about blogging now that I can log on :))
