There are times when we just want to give up and hide under covers and never want to get out, and then we remember there is a reason to keep on going. You start to think of beautiful things and words of encouragement and hear the sounds of the crashing waves of the sea. This is the
SEA OF LIFE.
Open up your hearts with an encouragement to succeed and never give up on life and your dear friends. Pull out a tissue, let your tears flow down, release that emotional tension you have had lately and
HOPE and
PRAY that you will find it through
GOD.
I miss my music teacher
Mr.King. He would NEVER allow me to give up and feel this way as I'm feeling right now. I have put three years into devoting myself to music and learning it. Has my three years been for NOTHING? A couple of weeks ago, I FINALLY performed my duet with my dad, my third duet all together. This was my very first duet I worked on with Mr. King when I started learning to sing and it's a very special one too. Mr King and I put this piece together. My Duet was called, " My Soul is Full Of Troubles". It had been VERY frustrating to work on it and put away and work on it and put away for over a year. How can anybody really get it down and feel the words in their heart? I know I have pleased
GOD and that is what really matters. Have a pure and pleasing heart for
God, he will bless you. I'm not going to fully publish this story on what REALLY had happen, for It is not right and Christian.
I have also experience
chicken killers again. I lost two last year and I have lost two this year, upon the hands or feet of my children. I have broken down again with my girls. This time it was two different times it happened. I got four black sex links first and one of them got squeezed to hard and died. John got two more chicks, red production this time. They were only two weeks behind my black ones and did fine age range being put together with my black ones. Well, I just lost my second chick last Friday, one of my red chicks this time by a child's foot, tripping over it outside. She stepped on its head and it died shortly after that. I simply looked away for a minute or two and this was what happened. I simply don't know how to handle my emotions with my children again. I made them as punishment to dig a BIG hole and bury the poor things. They can't EVEN go five feet upon my chicks at this moment. You would think doing it once would traumatize them but they simply don't understand how to treat things nicely, with love, and respect.
So I'm very emotional, low of patience, tired mama, and I need time to look upon happy things in life. I am sending you happy thoughts and peace of mind for days up ahead.
Let Go and Let GodWhen your troubled and worried and sick at heart
And your plans are upset and your world falls apart,
Remember God's ready and waiting to share
The burden you find much too heavy to bear--
So with faith,"
Let Go" and "
Let God" lead thy way
Into a brighter and less troubled day.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled Whenever I am troubled
and lost in deep despair
I bundle all my troubles up
and go to God in prayer....
I tell Him I am heartsick
and lost and lonely, too
That my mind is deeply burdened
and I don't know what to do...
But I know He stilled the tempest
and calmed the angry sea
And I humbly ask if in His love
He'll do the same for me...
And then I just keep QUIET
and think only thoughts of PEACE
And if I abide in STILLNESS
my "restless murmurings" cease.

JUST FOR YOU - BECAUSE I CARE
WISHING YOU A PLEASANT DAY
A MORNING FILLED WITH FLUFFY CLOUDS SO BRIGHT,
BUTTERFLIES FEEDING ON YOUR LILAC BUSHES
A LADYBUG ON YOUR SHOULDER...SO LIGHT.
WILD FLOWERS SCATTERED ALONG THE PATH
A COUNTRY ROAD TO TRAVEL ON,
A KITTEN TO GIVE YOU LOVE
A MEADOW LARK TO SING A SONG.
FINDING AN APPLE TREE IN BLOOM IN A FORGOTTEN ORCHARD
MAY YOU HEAR THE WILD GEESE FLY OVER,
LOVELY PINK ROSES TWISTED AROUND A FENCE POST
HONEY BEES SEARCHING A FIELD OF CLOVER.
WATCH QUEEN ANNIE'S LACE BENDING IN THE WIND
SMELL THE AROMA FROM A FIELD OF FRESH CUT HAY,
FEEL THE BREEZE AS IT STIRS A TREE BRANCH
ALL THESE ARE PLEASANT THINGS TO YOU I SEND TODAY.
A COUPLE OF BABY BUNNIES - THEIR NOSES TWITCHING
A DOE AND TWIN FAWNS GRAZING NEAR A BROOK,
MAY YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO JUST SIT ON A LEDGE
ENJOY THE SCENE AROUND YOU - AS YOU LOOK.
MAY YOU WITNESS A MEADOW OF FIREFLIES
AS THEY PASS THROUGH THE EVENING TWILIGHT,
SIT ON A BLANKET UNDER THE STARS EATING MARSHMALLOWS
TOASTED ON A BENT STICK ON A CAMPFIRE LATE AT NIGHT.
ENJOY A WALK THROUGH A SNOWY EVENING
THE TINY FLAKES FLOATING DOWN WITH SUCH GRACE,
LOST IN A MAGIC WORLD ALL YOUR VERY OWN
EACH FLAKE DELICATE LIKE FINE PURE WHITE LACE.
MAY THERE BE RAINBOWS IN YOUR SKY
AS THE RAIN SLOWLY FADES AWAY,
AND DEW DROPS CHANGE COLOR
AS THE SUN COMES UP EARLY TO SHINE TODAY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW
LIVE EACH HOUR AND SPEND IT WITH TODAY,
THERE IS MUSIC TO SOOTH THE SOUL
MAY GOD BLESS YOU DAILY...I PRAY.
SPEND SOME TIME IN AN OLD PORCH SWING
GOING BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THE AIR,
I SEND YOU ALL THESE WONDERFUL THOUGHTS
BECAUSE ABOUT YOU I TRULY CARE.
