The ride in the car with my girls

My husband and son left after my son got home for school yesterday for deer camp, and I was headed to Cabot to take my oldest ( Emily ) to her Nanny's for the weekend. Then it would just be Hannah and me. I am so excited about that too, some bonding time. Well we are in the car and just talking about school and friends and just stuff, when Emily starts telling about this book she has got from the library, and has already read half of it. It is about this girl who basically ends up in the hospital with some type of bone disease and the Dr.'s think she is going to die. Well Emily starts to tear up and looks at me ask why things like this happen and why it happened to me ( my MS). Well I am trying not to cry and I answer her with this. God has a plan His timing is perfect. He allows things to happen for reasons that you and I may not understand till we are up in heaven with Him. Emily let me tell you a story that happened to me not to long ago. When I was having a very slow and weak day and could not do things on my own I had to have someone help me walk and get me dressed and do my hair and just do about everything for me I had someone say to me " I just don't know how you do it,How you make it through the day" I looked at them with a smile and said I don't God does it HE does it ALL. and I give Him all the glory for it. Emily just kinda looked at me. I said Emily I use to wonder why I had MS why I had to have it. I am a mom of 3 kids I don't have time for it. But you know what. I really think God allowed me to have MS (1) b/c I can handle it (2) I can use it as a witness tool to reach out to other people. You know I do not want to be pitied at all and I don't want attention drawn to me and that makes me strong. It was recently brought to my attention how my faith in God through this Illness has help someone else with there illness and that Emily is what I would like to know that I can do is to help someone else know that they can climb there mountain with God's strength. Because our God is so merciful and gracious.

Things Have for sure been a Wild Ride These past few weeks. From sickness,death to quitting of my job. To top it all off my emotions are going off the chart. My employers have been so great to work with me during this time, and it was a hard decision to make. I love working I love just getting out of the house, but God and my family comes first before any job. At this time I need to take care of my heath and my family. The fatigue and pain with my MS is my major problem. God has a plan for me and I can't wait to see what it is. Yes sometimes I have those bad days, that is where the faith is. Thank you God for your mercy, wonderful Grace, precious love.

I lost my PeeWee Last Friday Oct. 17th 2008 He was 94 with no sickness. He never took anything for anything. No blood pressure problems or heart, or anything he just got old and his earthly body gave out. How marvelous is that. WOW I would love that. He was so special to so many people so kindhearted always had a smile on his face. He gave me his warm hands. He had 5 kids 10 grand kids and 14 great grand kids 7 great great grand kids. He was so blessed. He loves his little puppy dogs Gracy and katie, They will help keep Mary busy now. She is so sweet. I thank God for blessing PeeWee with her, she took such good care of him in his life and loved him as a wife should. God is so good his plan is perfect.

This is what happens...

...When they allow ME, Billie, to guest post on their blog!

I was thinking...what can my first guest post be about? I thought. And searched. And thought some more.

Then, I remembered I had this:


Aren't they cute? I first met them in 2002 and this was the first directory picutre I ever took of them.

I just had to do it once I saw it! I mean, after seeing those 3 kids as grown up as they were on Sunday...wow...

Good Morning, I know It has been a few days but I am just learning how do this, so bear with me. I want to introduce you to my niece and NEW nephew. Taylor just turned 2 in August and Nathan Andrew was born on Monday Sept. 22nd. As you can probably tell, Taylor is a handful already, but she is so sweet. I know that Nate will give her a run for her money.

Hannah gave us a scare yesterday afternoon the school called and said they think she broke her arm. She fell off the monkey bars. Praise the Lord that she did not!!!!! She just bruised it real bad the Dr said, but that if the swelling does not come down to bring her back in or take her to her Dr. for another X-ray b/c hairline fractures don't always show up right away. DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW DON'T SAY THIS STUFF IN FRONT OF HER!!!! She is counting down the days! How did I get so lucky to get the privilege to raise one beautiful Drama Queen. Her prince better be prepared for her when he comes on his White horse! I think her daddy is making him an instruction book. This is one lucky prince I don't know of anyone else who is getting an instruction book, Do you?

These are my Babies

Emily, Hannah,and Clay. They are such a blessing to me and Dusty (my husband) the greatest man ALIVE!! Yes I do get dramatic at times, You have to be, living in this house. We have drama and attitudes, you name it we have it. We have preteens here, strong willed, cry babies sometimes, Dusty is trying to grow out of that. No just kidding. My life is great I love it. The Lord has Blessed me.
