Hello everyone! Last wednesday I decided to join the choir at my church EGFIRST baptist, I had an audition and I made it as a soprano 2!!! I was really nervous when the choir director handed me a huge stack of music to learn for Sunday. Well I use to sing way back in the day and I was actually pretty good, but because it's been over a decade since I sang I was nervous. But the rehersal went well and it was amazing the feeling I got singing in the church with the band. Sunday came and it was my first performance. So I invited my best friend to be there because I knew no matter how horrible I did she would make me feel better, and because I wanted her to come to church, it's been a while since she went and I have this new found passion and I wanted her to share in it! Before the service I prayed that God would reignite the puropse for her in her heart and that she would be moved to come back to God so to speak! Ther performance went great and afterwards I went to sit with her and my hubby in the crowd and the sermon that pastor ralph said couldnt have been more perfect for her. I felt like he was speaking right to her, not to mention how she must have felt!!

I'm so glad that you came to see me Sunday and I hope that this fire stays with you, you don't know how much I love you and how much I've missed you in my life. I hope you come back to church with me and I am soo blessed to have you as my best friend.

It's amazing how little changes can impact your life as a mother. This weekend we redid Natalie's bedroom and got rid of her crib/ toddler bed and got her a twin bed and all new sheets and decorations and totally made her room a BIG GIRL ROOM! I was so excited to do this, we went shopping together and she picked everything out herself! After tom and I moved furniture and got everything together I just took a step back and broke down! I can't believe how little milestones can make you realize how fast life goes. I can't believe my little baby girl has a big girl room. It just went from a little kid room to this so adult looking room, minus the dora play box. it looks so grown up. Goodbye are the days of needing a crib rail and crib sheets and infant decor! Dont get me wrong I love the fact that she is this perfect little independent girl, who goes potty by herself and brushes her teeth and doesnt feel the need to hang onto me, but there is this little tiny piece that wishes sooo much I could just hold her tiny little body in my arms and rock her to sleep again. These years have gone by so fast it makes me want to grab her and hold on tight, because there will come a time when mom's kisses and hugs wont be so frequently needed! I love being her mommy soo much, more than I ever could have imagined, it's the most perfect thing in the world!

Well, Well the past few months have been a little crazy around here! I have moved into my OWN establishment for my massage buisness, and it is beautiful! It is called Health For Life and it is like a little co-op. There is an acupuncture physician, and an esthetician, and me to round up the wellness center. It is very modern and very high end, but our prices are very affordable. All of my old clients that were with me at the clinic say I have moved from the trailer park of offices to the tahj mahal! I was soo blessed to find this office and meet Dr. Silvee who runs the center, she is truly an amazing person who does wonderful work and her patients rave about her. She is truly in the health buisness to help people and greed is no where on her radar. She is really a great person, and I am so happy that she has given me this chance to finally take my career where I never thought it could go.

Last Sunday I finally made the decision to get baptised which was incredible. God has done soo much for me and my family these past few months that it was the least I could do. I am truly amazed at what can happen for you when you wholy decide to surrender and give your life to follow in the path that God wants. I went to a womens retreat 2 months ago and there decided that I was trying to carry too much on my back, I was depressed and anxiety ridden and physically in pain for all the stress. When God finally answerd me,(which believe me was not the way I had in mind) he basically hit me over the head with a two by four, which God knows how stubborn I am that was the only way to get my attention I am sure! It was then that I knew FINALLY what he wanted  me to do, and everything for then on has fallen in place! It is AWESOME!! I share this with you because this has been one of the most amazing times of my life, I am not a Bible thumper, or a jesus freak, all my friends will attest to that, but it has been such a positive twist in my life that I want to tell everybody, because I resisted it for so long. I always thought you know I should really go to church or I should really take time to pray, and I always found an excuse not to do it. Oh man how I wish I had done this a long time ago. Since my life was so suddenly changed last month, I have hardly any stress and I havent had to take anxiety medicine or a pain pill since, I am virtually PAIN FREE! Which to me is a true blessing. I have been battling that for 2 years now, and it is GONE! So back to last Sunday, my wonderful, incredible husband went to see me get baptised and I have been praying for years now that he will want to come with me to church without a battle to get him there, And he told me after we left church that he WANTED to go to church from now on, not every sunday but now he sees the importance of surrounding ourselves with true genuine people and I almost fell in the floor, if any of you know my husband you will know what a big deal this was. So I just wanted to tell everyone about our amazing step from where we  were a few months ago, sorry it was so long but I have alot to say! Love you and God bless, and just know right when you think all has been lost, you truly have just finaly been found!
