Brand new day !!
Good morning, hope everyone slept well :-) I only have 2 more days here in Ky with my friends, and I am sure going to miss them..:-( Esp my girl Savannah she is 3..But I finally realized today that God has different plans for me and the are to go back home to NJ.
Today I think was the first time I really asked God to forgive me for ALL of my sins. I don't think I have ever really sat and asked him and felt that he heard me till today. Since i did this I feel so totally ok with all that has been going on with me for the past month (depression). I am really excieted about going back home and reconnecting with some friends and my family and long lost cousins that I hope to see this September :-)
God has been so good to me and has blessed me in so many ways!!!
Love & Blessings

Wanted to share...
A friend of mine on Cafemom in one of my groups shared this and it gave me chills. A great
story!!
THE STORY OF EDITH BURNS...Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . Shewas the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was agentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was EdithBurns.One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because ofEdith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith withher big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sittingbeside her.Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my nameis Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain themeaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse,Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure.Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"Beverly said, "Why yes I do."Edith said, "Well, what do you believe about Easter?"Beverly said, "Well, it's all about egg hunts, going to church, and dressingup." Edith kept pressing her about the real meaning of Easter, and finallyled her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.Dr. Phillips said, " Beverly , don't call Edith into the office quite yet. Ibelieve there is another delivery taking place in the waiting room.After being called back in the doctor's office, Edith sat down andwhen she took a look at the doctor she said, "Dr. Will, why are you so sad?Are you reading your Bible? Are you praying?"Dr. Phillips said gently, "Edith, I'm the doctor and you're the patient"With a heavy heart he said, "Your lab report came back and it says you havecancer, and Edith, you're not going to live very long."Edith said, "Why Will Phillips, shame on you. Why are you so sad? Do youthink God makes mistakes? You have just told me I'm going to see myprecious Lord Jesus, my husband, and my friends. You have just told me thatI am going to celebrate Easter forever, and here you are having difficultygiving me my ticket!"Dr. Phillips thought to himself, "What a magnificent woman this Edith Burns!Edith continued coming to Dr. Phillips. Christmas came and the office wasclosed through January 3rd. On the day the office opened, Edith did notshow up. Later that afternoon, Edith called Dr. Phillips and said she wouldhave to be moving her story to the hospital and said, "Will, I'm very nearhome, so would you make sure that they put women in here next to me in myroom who need to know about Easter."Well, they did just that and women began to come in and share that room withEdith. Many women were saved. Everybody on that floor from staff topatients were so excited about Edith, that they started calling her EdithEaster; that is everyone except Phyllis Cross, the head nurse.Phyllis made it plain that she wanted nothing to do with Edith because shewas a "religious nut". She had been a nurse in an army hospital. She hadseen it all and heard it all. She was the original G.I. Jane. She had beenmarried three times, she was hard, cold, and did everything by the book.One morning the two nurses who were to attend to Edith were sick.Edith had the flu and Phyllis Cross had to go in and give her a shot. Whenshe walked in, Edith had a big smile on her face and said, "Phyllis, Godloves you and I love you, and I have been praying for you."Phyllis Cross said, "Well, you can quit praying for me, it won't work.. I'mnot interested."Edith said, "Well, I will pray and I have asked God not to let me go homeuntil you come into the family."Phyllis Cross said, "Then you will never die because that will never happen,and curtly walked out of the room.Every day Phyllis Cross would walk into the room and Edith would say, "Godloves you Phyllis and I love you, and I'm praying for you."One day Phyllis Cross said she was literally drawn to Edith's room like amagnet would draw iron. She sat down on the bed and Edith said, "I'm so gladyou have come, because God told me that today is your special day"Phyllis Cross said, "Edith, you have asked everybody here the question, "Doyou believe in Easter but you have never asked me."Edith said, "Phyllis, I wanted to many times, but God told me to wait untilyou asked, and now that you have asked." Edith Burns took her Bible andshared with Phyllis Cross the Easter Story of the death, burial andresurrection of Jesus Christ. Edith said, "Phyllis, do you believe inEaster? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is alive and that He wants to livein your heart?"Phyllis Cross said, "Oh I want to believe that with all of my heart, and Ido want Jesus in my life "Right there, Phyllis Cross prayed and invitedJesus Christ into her heart. For the first time Phyllis Cross did not walkout of a hospital room, she was carried out on the wings of angels.Two days later, Phyllis Cross came in and Edith said, "Do you know what dayit is?" Phyllis Cross said, "Why Edith, it's Good Friday."Edith said, "Oh, no, for you every day is Easter. Happy Easter Phyllis!"Two days later, on Easter Sunday, Phyllis Cross came into work, did some ofher duties and then went down to the flower shop and got some Easter liliesbecause she wanted to go up to see Edith and give her some Easter lilies andwish her a Happy Easter.When she walked into Edith's room, Edith was in bed. That big black Biblewas on her lap. Her hands were in that Bible. There was a sweet smile onher face. When Phyllis Cross went to pick up Edith's hand, she realizedEdith was dead. Her left hand was on John 14: "In my Father's house are manymansions. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive youto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Her right hand was onRevelation 21:4, "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, thereshall be no more death nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no morepain, for the former things have passed away."Phyllis Cross took one look at that dead body, and then lifted her facetoward heaven, and with tears streaming down here cheeks, said, "HappyEaster, Edith - Happy Easter!"Phyllis Cross left Edith's body, walked out of the room, and over to a tablewhere two student nurses were sitting. She said, "My name is Phyllis Cross.Do you believe in Easter?" God works in wonderful ways, and tobelieve in his power is to truly be free!!!
I hope y'all have a blessed day :)

Lord as my Savour
Having a hard time dealing with my daughters. they are 22 and 28 married and 22 yr old has a 6 month old son and my oldest is expecting a daughter Sept.1st. I have been divorced since my youngest was 16 . The girls and I moved 2 1/2 hrs away to NJ and the 22yr decieded she wanted to go back and finish school there (york Pa) and live with her father. Well I don't know what happened but she changed really didn't want anything to do with me, would barly talk to me. ( reason for the devorce was my ex got sober and decieded he didn't want to be married anymore and shouldn't have gotten married in the first place this was after 17 yrs )
Then she met her now husband and she would talk to me alot then she got pregnant and everything was good. then this past month we had a blow up where she really hurt my feelings. I would never tell them when they said anything that hurt me I would just stuff it as always, but not this time I told her how I felt and she hung up on me. then this weekend they both were at it and I decieded I had enough!! so I wrote them both letters I told them exactly how I felt, about how they talk to me with no respect and that if they could not talk to me with Respect do not talk to me. I did the best that I could raising them with what I had..at the time I worked 2 jobs , took care of my sick Mom and was married to an alcoholic.
With the Grace of God i got through it!!!! I am learning his word and trying to walk with him..and Im so Excieted to finally say it and Mean it ...He is my Lord and Saviour!!!
So if you could say alittle prayer for me I would be so thankful...
God Bless..
