Tonight was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. My daughter, Ashlee, has been going through some rough times over the last month. When she goes to bed, she comes back to me crying, and not knowing why. For those of you that know Ashlee, know that is not like her. She has always been a happy kid but something was going on and it was very frustrating. She was a mess and I was so scared because I didn't know what to do. It was like she was being tormented. I would pray with her at night and she would be able to calm down and fall asleep.
Well, tonight was the same thing. She was crying really hard and telling me she hated what was happening so we went into my bed and I laid down with her and I told her I would pray for her again, so I did. After I prayed, I began to talk to her about how much Jesus loved her and that He is there with her and after a few minutes of talking to her, she said she wanted Jesus to save her! So right there in bed together, she prayed to receive Christ! She hugged me tight and said thank you mom, I feel so much better and I feel Jesus. After we talked a little more, she fell asleep.
Praise the Lord for his answer to prayer! At church on Sunday morning, we prayed for family that was not saved and I said my girls and two days later, Ashlee was saved. I am so happy!

Welcome to 2008
Wow, another year is here! I am a little behind in my blogging but I'm back and ready to go.
Let me back track to Christmas Eve...First, about a week before Christmas my family was thrown for a loop when some news was shared with the family and trust was broken. So, I did a lot of crying that week and asked God for some wisdom and direction and He came through for me and the situation is being worked out and I hope that the trust can be rebuilt. So fast forward to Christmas Eve. My Mom, and sister, and I with Matthew, Ashlee, and Lauren went to my Sister-in-law's, mother's house to have dinner.(Marvin was home with Lyndsey, who was sick)It was a great time with alot of good food. Our church was having its first "baptist mass" at midnight, so we started to head home so we could go to the service. It was cold and icy as we were walking to the truck and I told Matthew to walk with "Memaw" so she wouldn't fall. So, everyone was in the truck, and I was getting in the truck and I had one foot in and my other foot slipped out from under me and I fell backwards, I couldn't grab on to anything so I fell right down on my back and my head hit the pavement and I knocked my self completely OUT!!! Everybody freaked out and came running to me. My brother said I was out for at least 5 minutes, so they called an ambulance and I woke up strapped down to a backboard with all these firemen around me and I was taken to the hospital. Did I mention that I was in Sterling Heights and was taken to some hospital in the boonies? My mom rode in the ambulance and my brother took the kids home and gave Marvin his GPS so he could get to me. It was CRAZY!!! I didn't have any of the kids presents wrapped so my sister did it all for me. So, I ended up with a concussion, and I slept alot the next few days.
It's always something with me. I have ridden in an ambulance so many times I should drive one! So, New Years Eve was uneventful except for the HUGE snowflakes. We went to Malinda's for some DDR, and Guitar Hero competitions. It was alot of fun.
So, I am not making any resolution's this year. It's a waste of time. I am on the weight watcher plan again and I am once again working hard to get in shape. My 20 year high school reunion is at the end of Feb. and I refuse to go looking the way I do now!
During the kids' Christmas break, my dad took all of us to the FRIDGE. It's in Oakland County and it's a outdoor, frozen toboggan run. The kids had a blast, so here are a few pictures of the fun.
