Life

Life is full of ups and downs and lately I have been hit hard with the downs.

I know I was having a pity party last week about no car and all the crap that I need to do to fix my house, but I'm dealing with real issues today. I'm not a materialistic person anyway, but there was some frustration on my part that came from not being able to get from point A to point B, but God has made sure that I'm back on track.

I picked up one of my adult children yesterday evening and stayed awake most of the night trying to find a treatment center that she could go to that didn't require 10, 000 up front. I understand now why it's difficult for the average person to get treatment.

So our task today is to continue looking because I'm not comfortable with her detoxing with me. Did you know there's a home remedy online to detox - no way! Besides, it's not just about doing a detox - I believe counselling needs to be involved, don't you?



Have a blessed Monday,  and if it's in your heart, send some prayers my way for my daughter.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
Ayn Rand Quote for Overcoming Addiction

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time having a littl

My Ministry

Yesterday was baby shower day for my daughter! It was a great time with friends and family. I'm so thankful for my Tucson family that always manages to join our family gatherings. Thank you!  I sustain myself with the love of family. -Maya Angelou It will be the tenth grandchild for my husband and I -which is leading me to believe the pastor that pulled me out of a crowd 26 years ago to tell me that I was going to have a ministry of children was correct. Looking back at my life I now tend to think that perhaps his prophecy was right on track since I seem to always have a ministry of children closely connected to me on my journey. I would have never guessed this would be my life, but I'm thankful for all the young souls that I've touched. For me that's what life is all about - touching lives and leaving an imprint on their hearts. Peace, Love & Hugs!
