Jersey seems to be just fine! Praise the Lord!
Today is exactly 5 years- to the day- since I graduated high school. Weird! It totally feels like yesterday!

What's Up

I just love this picture of The Jerz from the weeks that I was babysitting the Cokenour girls! I love the colors, and of course I love his precious face! :)


Jersey has not been feeling well lately, so tomorrow he has a vet appointment. It might be something small he is fighting off, or something bigger like a thyroid issue. Please pray that it is nothing! :)

Jersey's health is about the only exciting thing going on at our house as of late, well except for these two details:

1. I got my first edits for my book and sent in my response yesterday! It should be done near August! Wahoo!

2. I have begun training for the half marathon this January. Sign up is not until July, so I have been leary about making a huge announcement, (what if for some crazy reason I can't sign up then I would look stupid)! lol But, I am pretty sure I will have no trouble, so I am letting you all know about it now! I am pretty excited! I will have my hubs by my side, as well as some great friends and their hubbies too! Over 13 miles does still seem a little crazy, but I know I can do it! :) (think positive, think positive) lol

Please do pray for Jersey! Thanks! ♥

Cinderella ♥

Today is the one year anniversary of the accident that sent Maria Sue Chapman to be with Jesus, and a day that changed thousands of lives- including my own.

I remember the day so vividly, and I remember feeling silly for mourning for this family. I don't know them! Why am I crying so hard? God gave me a gift that day. He showed me that the reason I was mourning so for them was because they are my siblings in Christ. I had always heard about being brothers and sisters in Christ, but it really didn't hit me until this day. It was such a wonderful lesson for me that this day made my recap of 2008.

To Steven and Mary Beth: I have been praying for y'all ever since the accident. I will continue to. It is such a blessing to know that we are siblings in Christ, and one day we will all meet and dance for Jesus together. Your Cinderella is already dancing there, and I am so proud of your family and the testimony that y'all are spreading to the world!

To Will Franklin: Brother, when I heard about the accident I didn't know many details. I just remember sitting at my computer, tears streaming down my face praying that the driver was a family friend, not a family member. Later when I heard what you endured, my heart broke for you. I am so sorry that you had to go through that, but just know that you had so many brothers and sisters praying for you that day and until today even. Here is a giant cyber hug from your sister in Christ, and a little encouragement. God knew what was going to happen that day. He knew how you would handle it and so that is why He allowed it. He knew you would glorify Him! I am excited to see what God will do through you through this.

To all the Chapmans: My prayers and love go to y'all today, as they have many times over the last year. I have experienced a loss of a sister, so I do know some of the pain y'all are going through. Hugs from your sister in Christ!

Below is a video I found on Youtube that is so beautiful! The song is from SCC, and it helped/helps me greatly with the mourning of my sister.

To Maria, I can't wait to meet you one day!
