Single mothers, stay at home moms, soccer moms, etc etc.

I have never taken my mom's hardships for granted, I know it was a struggle to raise two wretched girls on her own, to work thru her heart break, and we did not make it easy for her. I also know that she wished she could have stayed home for us when we were younger. Wanting to have money so we could do the stuff that we wanted to do, or needed to do so it would benefit us as we became women.

Since, my sis has been gone quite frequently as of late, and with Gram being in the hospital...I have had the extreme privilege of caring for the kids...I give honor to those mothers who stay home for their children, who give of their time so their kids can play soccer, gymnastics, tennis, etc. To all the single moms, who struggle making ends meet, I know it's hard, and a blessing.

Ladies take pride in your accomplishments, and be not discouraged all the hard word that is put in, all the love given to raise your children will be doubly rewarded in heaven. The Lord cherishes you, you are His beloved.

New Year...same ole' same ole'

I love new years, the feeling of starting over, new starts, new beginnings. It's a comforting feeling...but I relish the fact the every day with Jesus is a new beginning and it gets better then the days before! His mercies are new EVERY morning and flow abundantly.

As usual I have made the same resolutions that I have every year since becoming an adult who strives to become the Best Amy she can be. Pray more, fast (just do it), become more faithful, as a Christian, friend, daughter, sister, lady, employee, and runner etc. Use my patience instead of losing it, hold my tongue, stop being a push over...with tact "...a soft answer...", defend those who can't defend themselves, see the beam in my own eye, get out of debt, talk more, sing more, judge less, welcome what/who God brings to my door, see God's hand in all, even the most uncomfortable situations, know "myself", be comfortable in my own skin, continue to be happy being single, not to rush "things", Bless His name more, bring my family to Christ, Trust more in Jesus! I could seriously go on and on!

I am so glad the Lord has brought to where I am today! I look forward to what He IS doing! My expectation is great! I don't want to miss a thing...

It's been a long time...

Apologizes are in order...to my followers, sorry for slacking for the last month or so. The holidays seem to be the cause of...well it can go two ways One: We ether draw closer to friend/family even those we haven't seen in YEARS! We contact them outta the blue, or Two: We get so busy with the holiday hoop-la, (buying gifts, then going into debt because of said gifts, money is a stress er) that we lose sight of the important things. Ahh! But still I love the holidays! To all my friends, and you know who you are if you feel neglected or ignored, Haha! so sad! I love you all! I am so blessed! I hope in the future I can become the faithful friend you all have been to me, if you need me to name names, see the following...in no particular order...

Tanya, Josiah Lopez, Chelle, Sis. K. Rick, Krista Valdez, Kimberly, Alicia, Rene, Sis. Woodward, D.J, Aaron, H.G, Kevin, Jess, Sis. Kim V, Kim W, Jen, Krista Ford, Casey, Cheryl, "My Home Girl" Ange, Crystal, Glenn, Steven, Josiah K., Alana, Nina, Kathryn, Stacey, JeanAnn, Jenny B, Sarah, Amber Dodd, Bro. Josh Lopez, J, Laura C., Sis. Theresa(The whole Fisher Clan) Etc...

I am not so ignorant or arrogant as to believe that your world revolves around Amy. The opposite actually, my world revolves around all of you. Just sometimes my rotation gets outta sync. Much love, and happiness to you ALL!

Things we've lost...

Boys helping old ladies cross the street, vs. zooming past them on their skate boards.

Gentlemen standing when a lady walks into a room, vs. sitting and making rude gestures.

"Yes Sir, yes Ma'am", vs. "Whatever"

Dressing up to go to town, vs. the wearing of Pj's in Wal-Mart

Opening doors for ladies, vs. shoving past them to get to Starbucks.

The Pledge of Allegiance in schools, vs. taking out "...under God."

So sad, when had independence become such a sought after commodity? Why is it so hard to accept help, to be treated with respect and to give respect, to have dignity?

Jesus

...is the answer.

For the problem...

...for the sickness.

Simple, but true.

For my sister's life...

...for my loneliness.

Quick update...

Vegas went well...but I think they need better rest spots in between towns. That was the only awful thing! You have to go 100 miles to the next town...if your lucky  you might find a gas station...and maybe a place to eat. 

But GOD is good!!! My sister is coming home! Thank You JESUS! I'm so excited. 

No other highlights in my life...

...we (my church family) are still trying to find a Pastor. It's going alright, no tingling up my spine about any certain one. I am just praying the Lord will let us know, we want to be in His will. So all will be alright.

Mom and I did our first night singing just the two of us...we were a little nervous about it. The Lord blessed and we did really well. Again, Thank you JESUS!

Might go to Camp Meeting...if the Lord makes a way. I'm a little tight on money...*wink*

I miss my friends.
