Good Morning God

Good Morning all! I have had a crazy few days and my body is tired from all the hard work. As you all know we are in the middle of a make over on the outside of our house. With Trevor's back and having surgery again on it we have been slowed to a snail's pace. I did get the outside washed down yesterday thanks to my precious dad. Trevor and I are having a lot of problems not arguing through all of this. He hates not being able to help and then wants us to just stop but that really isn't an option. We are praying that God continues to help us through this trying time. All of my problems seem so small but when you are the one living it, it seems awful.
Speaking of problems I would like you to pray for a friend of mine. Beau is a 37 year old man with a wife and two young kids. He found out about a month ago that he has brain cancer. This family is a God loving and fearing family but their faith as really been tested. I would ask that you bring them before the Lord in prayer.
I am really feeling defeated today and hope that your prayers will go up today.

I'm Back

Hey everyone, sorry it has been so long since I blogged last. Life has been crazy. I am feeling a lot better and I'm going to have surgery soon. My gall bladder is causing me all kinds of problems so it is coming out. My husband is also having surgery on his back for the second time in 5 months. We are going through a lot of life changes as he is going through the process of being disabled. We are hoping the surgery is a success but at this time it doesn't look good. My life as a preschool teacher and director at a private school gets really busy in the month of May. We had our graduation ceremony last week so my year has finally came to an end. It is going to take me a few days to get caught up on every ones lives and get you caught up on mine but, I'm looking forward to it. Just a side note, We have not been to a church service for weeks and really can't seen to get the energy to continue our hunt for the perfect church for us. I know we will never find a perfect church but just finding out were God wants us and needs our services at would be a great start. I pray that everyone is doing well and God Bless!

Asking for prayer

Just a note to ask for prayer. I hate asking people to pray for me because I know there are greater worries and illness that need to be prayed for but I know reading every ones blogs that God is hearing your pleas. I have not been feeling very well at all and yesterday it came to a head. I have not had any energy for some time now but put it off to stress. I had severe stomach cramps yesterday at work and ended up in the er. We were there for ever and not much was found. My thyroid was very low and that could answer the low energy but no answer to the cramps. I had vomiting and pain in my abdomen so severe that I actually couldn't stand up. I was so upset when the doctor came in to say they could not find a thing wrong. Not that I want anything to be wrong but this has been going on for months now off and on. I ask that you keep me in your prayers and that this will not happen again. Thank you in advance.
As to the remodel, it is going good and dad says we should be finished with the outside by the first of July!!!

Slow down life!

OK so we are in the middle of this remodel and things are going good. I must tell you that my husband and I have a great relationship but, this remodel has just about put us under. We have not agreed on a single thing. We are working on the outside of our house right now and we can't even agree on the stain color for the porch. We have decided to allow my father, who owns a construction company do make all decisions. So, I ask that you all shout out a little prayer for us that mt dad will not make the outside of my house look like a retirement home. He is so looking forward to retirement these days that all he is talking about is going to Crackle Barrel everyday for breakfast. My journey of surrender is a work in progress when it comes to surrendering to God and I must say I am doing much better on that front however, surrender to my husband is a completely different story. I know that the Bible says to submit but was He meaning about stain and siding colors too?

Keep praying for this surrendering mom as I am praying for all of you and your journeys in this life.

Indiana Jones is Garrett. Wyatt is Batman.

Garrett is the smart one of the family. He is always making us laugh with his jokes and tricks. He ia an awesome baseball player and we never call him by his name. It is either G-Man or

G-Money and my favorite is G-diddy. I have no great pics of him because, it never sits still long enough.

This is my daughter Shelby. She won the Ms. Ashland Kentucky pagent. Shelby has many talents. She has a wonderful voice and travels all around our tri-state area signing for Christ. The Lord has really blessed us with three great kids!!

Spring Break is over!!!

Yes, I have been on spring break for 10 days and today was "back to reality". I had so many plans for my break and didn't finish hardly any of them. We have had a Really bad stomach bug in the Blake household and I got it not once, but twice in ten days. All of the family had it except Wyatt. He said "Mommy, I didn't get it because my belly is to little for that". I wasn't sure weather that was cute or not, I am after all on a diet journey as well. I have lost 27lbs. since January and was thinking I was looking pretty good but, out of the mouths of babes.
I had a wonderful piece of news on my face book today! One of my friends husbands gave their life to the Lord yesterday. We are all thrilled. Lisa, my friend, has been praying for her husband for many years and he just didn't even feel the need to give himself over to Christ. He was a really good guy so, he didn't feel the need to get saved. We are thrilled Lisa that he finally took that step.
We are working on our house and we had our hot tub delivered today and we are so excited! The hot tub is mainly for Trevor but, who am I not to make him happy by getting in it with him, right? We are putting new porches on, three to be exact , new landscaping, the hot tub, and then work on the inside. We are doing all this ourselves so pray that our marriage last through it.

The Lord has been so good to me today and everyday I have been on this journey I have learned something new about myself. Today, I realized that God is always right on time. I know I have always known that fact but, remember that this journey is to apply Gods teaching and ways to the most intimate part of me. My friends husband has always been one of God's priorities and He knew the time and place for him to make that decision. I pray that I will listen and wait on God in my life and not just do what I want. Be patient Heather and wait upon the Lord. So, take a moment today and just be still and wait upon the Lord.
