WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY

Sorry i didnt make it on here yesterday but got called into work ....so just didnt get to it. sorry. ...

Have you ever wanted , prayed and wished for something for years and years....well i have cried and begged and pleaded for God to help Michele, my daughter. I had finally gotten to the point that i said You know i have just given it all up to God cause i sure cant change her mind and make her be what i want her to be. ..as you all know she went back to that jerk....i finally after lots of tears and hugs and begging sent her off with a kiss and telling her i love her and that i will continue to pray for her everyday....I love that girl so much...
God sure does like to surprise us doesnt he? She went back down there and she said they talked and talked and talked some more and guess what???? they both got on their knees and gave their hearts and lives to God. they had a friend of theirs that is a pastor to come to their house and helped them pray and give their lives to God.....they are going to church, to AA, to NA and he has a JOB something he didnt have before ....wouldnt work for someone else. ....Michele is still looking for something but he told her she didnt have to work if she didnt want to. but she said she needed to have something to do. They are making amends to people they have wronged. ...anyway it is like OH WOW !!!! I am having trouble getting a grasp on it. I keep saying God is this for real? I know they always say all in Gods time....but  WOW ... Am i being ungrateful for doubting? I am thanking him but at the same time im saying , wonder how long it will last....of course i know about all the miracles that God can do , and yes i do believe him when he says he will take care of all of our desires of our hearts. ....Im happy but , and im praising God but. ----Thank you all for all the prayers love you for them .

Hope all of you are doing well...good ....Tammy hope all is well with you. Jeanie...glad to know you are doing really well. Yeah a loss of 2 pounds of week is great. ..

 Jan you have to believe its real and she is on the right track. We will keep praying.

Went to KC and got a quote to have my face done. 7300. A bit more than I hoped . I haven't firmed it up but will most likely. They want  a report from Dr Hawes about what he did to my eyes first to see if they can go back in and get rid of the bags. Time will tell.

Headed out the door early today. Hope all is well.

Susie, well im like you i was hoping a face lift would be less that that, it isnt a whole lot less than a lot of dermatoligist charge that i have checked with. but it is less...

Hi, Mama Jan & MO Peeps:

Our small town community has been deal two tragic deaths within the past two weeks.  Yesterday afternoon a 7 year old boy was struck and killed by an SUV right across from the High School.  The boy is the child of the Vice Principal of the High School.  Apparently, he was crossing the busy street to go to his Dad's office (which he did everyday after school).  He wasn't on the cross walk and he walked between two cars.  The driver didn't see him.  Two weeks ago a 16 year old boy was killed when he ran a stop sign and was t-boned by a truck.  The boy was killed instantly.  The father/son who were in the truck are still in crictical condition.  Please pray for our community.  We are griefing.  The day after the teenager was killed, there were over 100 kids who met in front of the high school to pray for the family.  Jake told me last night the Football team prayed for Mr. Meyers family (the one who lost his 7 year old son last night).  I am so thankful we live in a community who still turns to the one and only GOD!!

One of my "girls" have been sick this week.  Roxie was vomiting and had dierriah.  Took her to the vet Wednesday.  They ran bloodwork and everything looked okay except she was severly dehydrated.  The lady vet gave her fluids and two shots - one for vomiting and another antibotic shot.  She sent home antibotics and pills for vomiting.  Thankfully she is a lot better today.  I'm thinking she's going to have to have a bath and get her teeth brushed today!  :)

I've gotta get busy and pick up my house.  We are watching our grandson, Kameron, today.  His Mom and her Mom, Grandma, Aunts and Cousins are all going to NE/IA to go flea market shopping.  We haven't seen Kam in quite awhile so we're looking forward to it.  Just hope he behaves himself!!  I'd hate to be having to correct him all weekend!

DH is sick.  He's got that bronchotis again.  He's on antibotics and is getting a little better.  Just hope we dont get it.

Luke is coming home for the 3 day weekend as well.  That means Brad will probably be here too!  Needless to say, I've gotta get my kitchen and living room picked up.  Doesn't have to be perfect but it definitely needs to be cleaned a little!

Mama Jan - I will continue to pray for Michelle.  We've got to trust that God is in control and that He has brought that pastor into their lives to help guide them.  Now if they will only do what He (God) tells them to do!  One day at a time...that's all we're suppose to worry about.

MO Peeps - Hope you all have a good and safe holiday weekend.  Remember to tell the ones you love that you love them and if you can give them a big hug and kiss EVERYDAY!  You never know what will happen in this world we live in!

Love all of you!

Debbie D.

Debbie D so sorry for your community...that has to be hard to lose 2 young people in such a short time.
I know those parents are hurting so much that all we can do is pray for them...no amount of words can make a difference for them now.

thanks for the encouragement about Michele...

Jan, I can surely relate to you and your doubts.  You have to think positive and believe both of them will turn their lives around.  Since I learned my son is an alcoholic 5 years ago, it's been a roller coster ride.  All the time he was in rehab this summer, I wondered if it would work.  He has had so many legal problems and it's all because of his drinking.  I wondered if there really was a God and did he ever listen to me.

Greg seems to be doing well.  My DH and him have gotten really close and talk every day.  Greg is able to open up to him and Max seems to have a calming effect on him.  I'm beginning to relax a little. 

My GD is coming over tomorrow afternoon and we're going to play.  We will watch movies and I'm not going to worry about any housework.  I was going to start painting tomorrow but now I'll wait until Tuesday. 

Jo thanks for the encouragement, i keep thinking of you and your son and know that so many things are the same with Michele and I ...and yes she has a lot of legal problems too. after giving her life to God  she went to the police station and talked to them and she has most all of it straightened out now. She said it was such a sweet feeling to not be looking over her shoulder now.
So far she is doing great. has been a week now that is a lot longer than she has gone in a long time without the beer and pot since she was a young kid....im praising God ...

Sorry to hear about the loss in your community , I will pray for you all . Glad to hear that things are turning around for you ladies children, Hope eveything keeps going in the right direction !! I hope I never have to have those troubles but my boys are only 9,7, and 5 . So my problems are menial, not listening and fighting , Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend !! Five more days
