A TRIBUTE A SOLIDER

Good Evening All,

It has been sometime since I last wrote...

Yesterday was the first day for the rest of my life...I haven't been attending Church as I should. U see there have been somethings going on in the Church that I didn't agree with and I decided until I could cope with it I needed to step aside for the time being...but, I didn't step away from GOD let me express that also...I have been walking the life in which I hope that GOD could be proud of me..I decided that I would go to Church yesterday... oh my goodness I have never in my life felt this way for so long that I really feel as though I am walking on air...the feeling that I have is so thrilling that I just want to keep this feeling forever...I also started going to bible study on Wednesday nights we are reading the book PURPOSE DRIVEN...( what on earth am i here for)? oh man the reading is just so wonderful that it is hard to put it down but, you can read something today and come back to it tomorrow and still learn something new that you didn't see in there before..we have a new Pastor at our Church and he is leading the bible study...he is just a happy go lucky kind of guy and I am so excited to be able to learn from him.....this feeling is just so hard to explain....

 these next words are from David: I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the LORD..

I want to sing praise to GOD for all the days of my life..he knows me the best, only he knows what is in store for me in my life and i can't wait to see what he has planned for me next...I have said this before and i will say it again I don't fight with my family i take what they dish out at me but, now i will take it a little different this time around i take it and give all of it to GOD and ask him to help me understand what it is that i need to do to make my life better for me...I will not change for my family I will only change for GOD i want to be the person that he has wants me to be...i want to help others and make things for them a little better which i think i already do by taking care of people who need me the most...

may GOD work in ur life the way that he is in mine....

until next time: GO WITH PEACE AND MAY GOD PROTECT U NOW AND FOREVER....LOVE TO U ALL, Val

Good Afternoon All,

May u have the happiness in ur life that u all deserve...may u know what it is to love someone so special to u that u can feel their pain when they r hurting or when they r happy...

Yesterday was such a wonderful day that God made for us that my husband and I and our daughter decided to go ice fishing we also asked my husband Dad and Mom also our niece's and nephew's if they would like to join us and some of them did while others had homework to do and couldn't join us...oh what a really wonderful day it was the sun was shining there wasn't much wind when we started but, by the time we were done it was starting to pick up but, it was alot of fun....(smiling)....we ended up bringing home 4 fish and we r having them for supper tonight... that will be a wonderful treat for i haven't had fresh fish in a while...

As for Stormy she is still in the barn with no baby as of yet and i am getting really worried about her...but, the vet isn't cause the baby is still in the bag so everything is ok for now she says...ok....i hope it is going to be soon cause i really need my barn back so i can get working with the 2 head that we will be selling in April....the bull won't be to bad but, i am not so sure about the heifer she is the one with the attitude and i am not looking forward to dealing with her... last year at this time is when i was hurt by a heifer that was in heat and being a little snot i ended up having surgery cause of her so i am not really looking forward to her...but, in the end she will be gone and i won't have to worry about her any more...but, anyhow i still have 11 cows to calve yet...so i will be busy most of the spring and summer between the cattle and my new grandbaby that will be here in June and i can't wait....

but, any how hope everyone is well and that u r having the time of ur life....

thought to leave u with: may ur rainbow lead u to ur pot of Gold and LOVE...

until next time, Val

GOOD MORNING ALL,

If that is what I can say at this time...it's seems like the more i am careful as to what i am doing i seem to get hurt more...it just doesn't make any sense to me...i am such a clutz that it isn't funny any more...i mean let's take Friday for instance i came back into my house cause i forgot something and what did i do fall up the 2 steps on my face and tried to stop my fall with my hands bad mistake let me tell u..my hands and arms hurt so bad and then i went to work what did i do but, take trash out and tripped over the little bump in the sidewalk and i went back inside and started the laundry and what happens i SHUT my fingers in the door.....so far this day had sucked big time...and then i had to go to Mason and do some running around everything went good there THANK GOD and then came home and did some house work and then went to do chores and what happens i climb into the grainery and hurt my knee...( i am such a clutz) well my father in law was here and he came out with his truck to get me and bring me in the house where i spent most of the weekend...now remember this is still Friday...when i woke up on Saturday i could hardly move and i do believe i was hit by some kind of truck oh boy do i ever think that and sure felt that way...on Sunday morning i was woke up by one of my migranes and it has been a long time since that has happened but, i got up and oh my goodness i could move less then the day before...i am so sick and tired of this all let me tell u..

but, on to a different subject: i brought Stormy one of my cows in the barn on Tuesday cause she was in labor had the vet come at noon to check her and what does she find a cow that is fully dialated and no baby ready to be born the baby was still down so we didn't do anything at this time....we have just been watching her closely she is still in the barn where she will stay until she calves...the reason is cause every calf she has had we have had to pull so i need to keep a really close eye on her....well friday night the vet came back to check her again cause she is so miserable and this time she tells us that her cervix is compeletly closed but, that the baby is in postion and ready to be born....what a day Friday turned out to be cause we still have no baby as of today....

here is what i think STRESS means to me:

S: something that is always there even when people won't admit that it is

T: trying to always please the ones around u and u forget the most important one U.

R: running in circles and not finding a way OUT.

E: expecting things in LIFE to go really smooth for a change

S: stressing over things that u can't do much about

S: standing on ur own 2 feet and trying not to fall..

something to think about: does someone in ur life make u stressed all of the time..if so y not just say to urself as i do ONLY I CAN MAKE MYSELF have a bad day and by that i mean yes, they said something that bothers me but, i am the one that let it get to me...that is something that has helped me get through all of this stuff going on in my life...

I SEND MY PRAYERS UP TO THE FAMILY THAT JUST LOST THEIR LIFE IN A HORRIBLE FIRE THE OTHER DAY...a family of 4 lost their life to a fire may GOD be with those who r cleaning up the mess...and trying to make sense out of what just happen...

until next time, May GOD go with u all, Val
