GRAM MOM OF ONE

2011-11-06T12:26:00.001-07:00

Well Lets see I think I will start with what God did for me yesterday . My moms house is just above a very steep hill and yesterday I was going to work with my 4 wheel drive on and I hit that hill and lost control of my car I had LaShanna with me. We did Broddy's and hit the ditch and jumped out of the ditch all the way down the hill there was a car in the ditch and I figured it was a miracle from God that I did not hit it. We came to a stop and LaShanna says mommy that girl had her flashers on we should help her so as this was a strange thing that happened to me ( I rareley have trouble in 4 wheel drive) I thought why not I have four wheel drive so I turned the car around and went to check on the girl in the car. She was facing down hill I was going up hill I stopped rolled my window down I was maybe 3 feet from her and than it happened my car slid right into hers fender to fender and than proceeded to slide back wards. Well as you can all imagine there was metal scrapping and all kinds of ugly sounds. I though well God you know what I need so help please. So many thing where going through my head like there goes my savings and shoot I am late for work lots of thoughts in a very fast amount of time. So I get out of car to give the girl my info and make sure she has help coming. We look at the cars and there is no damage nothing not even a scratch!!! nothing I am so happy I can not even believe it. It was like when God took smoking from me it was hard to believe there it was my very own miracle to share with a stranger on the road. So I said do you believe in Angels she said yes and I said good because you just witnessed God putting one between our cars is that awesome or what she said it was awesome and she had help coming. She than said it was weird because she had made a call to her parents where there was no signal and she was right there is no cell signal on that mountain. So there you have it my miracle from God to share with you all.

My sweet sweet Sister Janie I love you

2011-10-09T11:17:00.000-06:00

I have a very dear sweet Sister in God that has passed and I want to say how much I loved her. Her child like love for the Lord was an inspiration to many many people she was such a love to be around and now she is with our Lord as sweet as that is I am sad that I will not see here again until I meet the Lord myself I will miss her smile and her sweet hugs and her words of encouragement. I pray for her husband and her Brothers and Sisters that God help them through this loss, (Sister Janie I love you see you soon) Love your Sister always, Sister Charlene

I am back

2011-10-09T10:44:00.002-06:00

Well after some thought I decided to come come back to my blog and as odd as it may seem it is about my mom she has hurt her back again and I may need to make some choices again this year.

These choices will be put in Gods hands for I have not the strength or knowledge to make them myself. My flesh wants to run but not my heart so I was up last night crying and praying and now I ask you to pray for me.

Taking care of my Mommy

2010-10-11T14:55:00.002-06:00

Well some of you might know and some may not know that I have spent the last 3 months taking care of my mommy and it has been awesome. I have learned more about her and learned to love her more. I really didn't think I could love my mom more but I do. God has also used this to teach me to be graceful and kinder and patient I have learned how to speak to my Sister Sister and learned that I can do anything with God. I have laughed cried, giggled and stayed up to watch my mom sleep. I have held her and hugged her and cooked for her and just been there for her, all though she has been in pain God has used this to teach me and her so much. My little girl has also learned to be a helper and to have compassion for others. God has manifested himself to us more than I thought possible and our faith has been so increased. If you were to tell LaShanna that God did not exist she would and could give you many reasons why he does and why he loves her and she would tell you she even talkes to him all of which she has learned through this incredible time with my mom her Grand-mom as she says. I received a prophecy almost 4 years ago about God wanting me to take care of my mom at the time I didn't realize what it all meant now I do and I am thankful for God choosing me for this task. I am learning to love and to let go at the same time I am so thankful that God loves me enough to teach this lesson and to help me and hold my hand while I care for my mom.
Well there is my update God loves me and I love him with my whole heart... do you?

I am missing you all

2009-11-30T18:17:00.000-07:00

OK Here is what's on my mind. I am missing my family allot really allot and that includes my church families from all over even those I have I not met. I had a Sister tell me that you can not love someone right away and that people say I love you to freely well not the case here because I love you all God gave me that ability and so there I said it I love you and miss you sooo much ( you all know who you are my friends and church family and kids)

A new chapter in my life

2009-10-17T23:09:00.005-06:00

Well were to start I have left my job after 13 months and my sister Jennie and I are opening our own store I am so excited to be doing this. As with all good things the Lord provides satan tries to take it away and boy is he working hard to do that this time. I know the store is God given it all happened so fast and everything has fallen into place very smoothly and every prayer to God about things we have needed has been answered so yes satan is mad and after me I am so very glad that I have God and all my Sister and Brothers to pray for me.
Our store will be a kids second hand store and some fun collectibles for moms as well it should be allot of fun and God willing we should do well. I was telling Sister Charlotte and Sister Darlene that I will fill successful if Gods light shine through me to the people I come in contact with and to my sister all I want is to let Gods love flow through me to his people and be the person God wants me to be.

On another note I was blessed in a way only Gods people will understand one of my fellow homeschoolers has lost her husband to ms as I read her journey with him to the end I was blessed to see Gods love at work. I wish I could repeat the wonderful words she had but I would not do them Justis as her sweet husband lay in bed on his journey to meet God the love for the Lord that flowed from her was awesome. I feel touched in a way I have never been touched before. It was so sweet to read her words and to feel her love for God and her Husband all though she will never read my blog I feel compelled to say that through her God has shown me what kind of wife and mother and Sister he wants me to be and shown me that all though death is sad for us left behind it is a sweet blessing for those going to meet God. I do not know if this all makes any since but I had to talk about it and share with the ones I love the great and wonderful things God has shown me lately. In my own trail with my husbands health I pray God can give me as much grace as he did my fellow homeschooler for all she saw was Gods love for her and her husband and there children and to take time to share her love for God as her husband lay drifting closer to his heavenly home with the grace she had was truly Gods work and I feel blessed to have been a part of that.( Thank You God for your love and guildance I pray you will help me Lord to be all that you want me to be and that in my times of dispair and sorrow I can have the grace I need and shine only your love to those around me Amen)

It took me a minute to get excited but soon I saw the wonder through her sweet child eyes and yes it snowed last night and it really is pretty to see. Only God knows why it snowed and he has his reasons. Thanks again to God for a wonderful day and for a wonderful little girl to see the day with..

My sister Jennie told her she need to be a part of the big girls club and that did it she is fully one hundred percent potty trained. She has also went into a big girl bed. It was a sweet time but a sad time my baby is growing up and I am sad yet I am glad because she is becoming such a sweet little girl with a soft heart. All though she sure looks tiny it the single bed wow what a confliction of emotions I am having. Hum well here are some pictures of Easter and her bed I thought you might like to see. She in now 41 1/2 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds tall and thin but never to big for my lap hehehehe.

My Thoughts and My Mommy

2009-04-04T23:03:00.005-06:00

After reading the comments on Sis Lori's last post I have decided to post this. I was feeling like maybe my post were dumb but I see there not because they are my thoughts so here is another one. I am not sure how to say this I have never been more scared you see my mom is heading to Idaho with Sister Charlotte my sister sister. I know she will take good care of my mom without a doubt. But I might not see my mom again she looks great and seems well her meds are adjusted so that is great but what is going on inside her is a different story. She has really really bad P.A.D. her arteries are very thin and full of junk lots of junks. I know it is all in Gods hands but I am scared. I am glad she is going she needs to see our Brethren and be blessed by there love and if God did chose to take her I know she would be with all the people that love her. I guess I need your prayers for grace. My mom is my best friend I tell her everything we laugh we argue we cry she is always there for me no matter what. I never really have to worry cause I know she loves me even when I am a boob. through out my life she has taught me to care for my babies and cook clean a house help people in need be caring and giving. Well I am not sure how to end this blog except to ask God to be with my mommy and please take care of her.

Thanks for your prayers

2009-03-21T16:05:00.002-06:00

Thanks for all your payers mom is doing way way better than they thought It is awesome to see God work in our lives and heal our brothers and sisters all though there is still not a full healing my mom is better. God had allot of mercy on her and on us please if we come to your mind pray for us. Thanks
I love and miss you all so much. Love Sister Charlene

Love Dare

2009-03-06T19:52:00.004-07:00

If anyone gets a chance to see the movie Fire Proof you should do it. I did and it changed my life. I will not go into detail on my marriage but will say that I was so unhappy I prayed daily to God to save me and he did he sent the tools I needed to follow his word and become the wife, friend, daughter, and child of God he wants to me to be. I can not begin to tell you the difference in my self and my family life and I am on day 13 only I am so excited to finish and see what great things God has in store for my marriage. As I read the book I follow the Bible. I have learned more about myself and my walk with God in 13 days than I have in 3 years. Being here in Montana is a blessing to me now. It has allowed me to become closer to God than I thought possible. I now know what in Gods timing means and am able to endure my separation from my Brethren with a happier heart I feel like God wants my marriage to be on firm ground before he will allow me to move. I feel like he knew that I would not have worked as hard on my marriage had I moved before my sweet marriage was saved. God really really dose know what is best for us. I have realized that I was not the woman God wanted me to be and that for my husband to truly see God as the way I need to be all that God wants me to be at that time I feel in my heart that God will call my husband and he will follow Gods will and come to God with open arms. I know this is really long and I am not usually this somber but the past 13 days have been one of the most eye opening times in my life. I just want to tell people that God will help. I feel in my heart like God sent us this movie and the Love Dare book as a tool along with the Bible and his word to help in a time when marriages are failing and the devil is using this to tear apart our families and our brethren families so if you know someone who is struggling Please pray and than spend the money and buy them the book and the movie it may just mean saving a brother or sisters marriage. I know that is just what I am doing. After much prayer I chose someone not in the church to do this for I felt moved by God to choose this couple. I give all glory to God and the tools he sent for me to use. I am so excited to see what happens in my marriage at the end of 40 days. God is good and he will provide you with what you need. I want to make it very clear that I know only with God will this work and I give all glory to God and his love for me......

Home Schooling fun

2009-02-22T07:42:00.004-07:00

Well just a little update LaShanna is doing so good in school and so am I. I love teaching her to see how excited she gets when she catches on it is so fun. I was talking to a sister the other day and she told me about Bob Books I found a home school mom here that has a set like brand new. I am going to buying them I am so excited to see what LaShanna dose with them. Right now we are taking 2 words a week and I write them on these cool strips of paper I got at the dollar tree that is a home school moms best helper that dollar tree store anyway than I tape the word to the object it seems to be working really well soon I will have a house full of words hehehehehe but that is OK too it is all fun. Well I will write more soon.
PS I am reading my Sisters blogs and there all great sorry it is hard to post on them all right now but they are awesome. Sister Stubby I am here and praying for you..

Faith, Charity and Blessings

2009-02-15T17:29:00.008-07:00

There's 2 things I want to post about tonight so here goes I was watching Faith and Charity sleep in there bed together today and I thought how wonderful it would be to be able to have both faith and Charity in my heart so easily than I thought well Charlene your silly you do. God gave you faith and he is and has and will give you Charity so they do lay in my heart together with ease. How sweet God is to me and I am humbled by his love for I know I am not deserving.
So here is the 2nd thing after I read Sister Charlotte's blog and read about Sister Stacie having Jessie count blessing. I thought how many times do we think I need to write down my blessing and we don't. :( So I decided I am sure this was from God to make a blessings book for LaShanna so when she needs it her blessings are there to read. Right now she tells me her blessings and I write them. LaShanna made the decision to color her blessings until she can write them herself here is her book and her first blessing.

Her first blessing she thought of was having her friend Izzybella.

Glory to God

2009-02-05T21:31:00.002-07:00

As for my back it is not well but the Good Lord has answered my prayers and yours I am able to work and take care of my family so I am happy with that as for the burn on my left wrist I have Lupus and I heal very slowly but the Lord answered your prayers there he healed a very bad burn from a clothes steamer on my left wrist in 5 days. It was 1st, 2nd and a small 3rd degree burn on most of my wrist and hand. I was healed and pain free in a week. I love God and the mercy

Little Girls Prayers

2008-12-28T08:46:00.002-07:00

I am so excited LaShanna has started to really pray sometimes with my help others all by herself. My mom Sister Darlene stayed with us for Christmas and LaShanna chose that time to start praying by herself it was sweet to see my moms faith grow as she watched this little 4 year old pray thank you sweet Lord for using my LaShanna to strengthen mine and my mothers faith. As her small little voice started to ask God to bless the food and to help the brethren that were sick tears of joy ran down my checks to see her faith and love for the Lord. (Thank You God) As I raise my little one in the faith at the same time I am growing in the faith I have prayed daily for God to show me that I am doing what he wants and raising LaShanna as he would want me to I often feel that I am lacking and than God gives me the answer to my prayer and Little LaShanna prays wow God is truly the very best father and teacher as I do all day every day I want to thank God for his mercy and his love.

Thank You

2008-12-28T08:40:00.002-07:00

OK to all who were worried about my being to close to the deer I was inside the house behind a window I am really very nervous about deer even though there so cute. I need to ask this of all my Sisters and Brother I need your prayer please for some time I have had trouble with my left eye. I thought it was from a past eye injury but I don't think so now the last time it flared up I lost some sight in it. It has flared up again and I am losing more sight in it. I know this doesn't seem like it but it hard for me to ask for prayer for myself but I am asking now please pray for me. I am going to tell you all thank you now because I have peace in my heart that you will pray for me so Thank you so much and Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year May God Bless You All

This year I get to teach LaShanna about Jesus Birthday. I am so excited to do this with all my heart. It will be the first time in my life that there is true meaning behind my teaching a child that Christmas is a celebration of Christs birth. oh I have taught it to my 3 boys but not with a heart full of faith and love like I have now for God so I am excited about the holiday this year.

God is so good to me

2008-10-25T23:05:00.002-06:00

I think I pulled a rib up under my shoulder blade Last Tuesday.When it happened I was in the shower.I prayed that God would have mercy and he did. I was able to get out of the shower and get dressed and sit in my chair that is when I realized I was in to much pain to go to work. So I went to bed. In the past when I have had back problems or gotten sick my husband seems so mad and kind of just leaves me to fend for myself and I always feel so alone.
This time I prayed to God to send me a Sister or Brother or to soften my hubby's heart. I just didn't want to feel so alone and guess what he softened my hubby's heart.
My husband was really really helpful and took such great care of me and LaShanna he was just super awesome. God is so good I just love God so much. Later I was talking to my sister and she said to me maybe John gets so upset because he is scared and not mad at you.You know I really think she is right.I am so thankful God showed her this so I could understand my husband more. God is so wonderful I feel so grateful to God for his love and mercies. I am very thankful for my husband and his love and I am here to tell you it is all God I give God all the Glory on how my husband is treating me now. Oh yes and here is another way cool thing at dinner my hubby is starting to pray he use to always say you pray Charlene. Thanks to God and all the prayers from my church family God is working in his heart yahoo.

God answers my prayers

2008-08-03T09:05:00.005-06:00

Hi everyone
It has been a long time since I have blogged. I read all your blogs and I love them. I am working full time right now so I am tired but at least God provided me with a job that I love. I just had a visit from Brother Richard and Sister Saudra and they brought me my Sister Sister Charlotte what a blessing the visit was wonderful and so full of the spirit. I love to hear the word and share I get so excited and to have my Sister her is awesome. We are taking the bus to Idaho and than driving to Oregon I am so excited. I had been praying because I was a little afraid to ride the bus but I didn't tell anyone I was scared except God and than it worked out that he brought my Sister to me to ride the bus with yahoo God is so great I just love him. God is so good to me. I have not even shared this with my sister yet hehehe. My Sister Sister will be surprised because she thought it was just her pray God answered but he was busy he heard mine too. I am so excited for sky camp and my visit to Oregon I just know God is going to bless all of us. Well I was going to end this blog but I got to thinking on how God answers even the littlest prayers and how he loves us so much he even answers our thoughts
I have been in the faith 2 years and it still amazes me that he is so awesome and love us so much that even a hang nail on our finger he will fix it for us and take the pain away wow OK now I have to go I love you all my sweet brethren. Love, Sister Charlene

Happy Fathers day to the Ultimate Father

2008-06-15T12:16:00.006-06:00

I have had 3 fathers in my life one is my birth father thanks to him for bringing me into this world the second was my step dad Bob he was wonderful but has passed. The best and most important is God. So today I want to honor the father who never leaves me, nor forsakes me in good times or bad. Who loves me enough to teach me, be stern with me and patient as well. He listens always and is never to busy for me. He knows my every thought and every hair on my head and sees every tear I have cried and will cry. He holds me in the palm of his hand and comforts me even when I do not know I need it. Here's to my father God whom I love and will hold close to my heart until the day comes I get to see his wonderful face.

God's T.V.

2008-06-03T09:26:00.010-06:00

This lake is one of the lakes we fish at. We were out fishing when I took these pictures so I thought I would share them with you. I think of them as Gods TV. It was such a beautiful day even with the clouds to see how Gods hand moves in the world is so beautiful hope you enjoy these as much I did when I took them. We were sitting there as a huge thunder storm moved in it was just awesome. The ground shook when it thundered it felt as if you could reach up and touch the clouds they were so close. I tried to put all the pictures in a slide show but couldn't figure it out I took like 20 pictures I think.

Answering your comments

2008-05-31T13:52:00.008-06:00

OK this is a little different. I thought I would answer your comments on my last post and use it as a post so here we go.

Brother Russell your are so sweet and yes you could win a pageant a pageant of the heart not that your not beautiful because you are. After all you were made by God and hey he is perfect so he can only make beautiful people right. Sister Lori I know you pray for me and LaShanna all the time God has shown me that and I thank you so much for those prayers. Thank you also for all the wonderful scripture I love it keep it coming. I need it hehehe love you and yours too. To all my other Sisters I love your posts and thank you for all your sweet comments as strange as it may sound I can feel your love for God and your Brethren in your words and that is so sweet also you help me with my walk in the faith with all your comments thanks ladies love to you and your too. I just want to say to all my sweet Sisters and brothers that God has used you to comfort me everyday since I am here in Montana without brethren God has heard my prayers and brought me you guys from all over. I sometimes wonder if I was not here would I be so into blogging as I am now. God has definitely used our blogs to meet each other and to be a comfort to each other and I think that is really really awesome. So ok I am a mushy mush hehehehe gosh I am not sure how to end this post so I will say God bless and Thanks.

P.S. Sister Jackie I am sure if we lived closer our little ones would be friends too. All our little ones are so precious and cute I just love seeing pictures and hearing about them growing up..

God working on me again!

2008-05-27T17:55:00.004-06:00

Well here we go again as you all know I posted awhile back about LaShanna being in a pageant and winning. Than Sister Lori sent me the sweetest comments with scripture. Well I read the scripture and being as hard headed as a mull. I decides I could teach LaShanna our Fathers way and still participate in the ways of the world. Well that is a laugh. I entered her in the state pageant and off to Butte Mt we went with high hopes and God watching. Let me tell you first off the reason I was doing this was the prize money for LaShanna in the future for school or a home or what ever she may need (I should have prayed about that stuff and left it up to God ) I really did believe that I could still teach her good sportsmanship and how to be giving, loving, humble you know all the things we want to teach our little girls so they grow up to love God and be good wife's, mothers etc. Well God had a lesson for me. I will not go into weather she won or not because that is not important. What I will go into is that we entered a world of fake and evil and unhappy people, we entered the world in a big way and I was scared to see how many Mommy's treated there little girls badly and to see how mean they were to them and to see little girls exploited for there beauty and made to feel that they had no worth was more than I bargained for. So I began to pray and God showed me that you can not walk in both places. You have to stay close to him and away from the world. God showed me once again why it is so important to seek the company of your brethren and to attend church and to pray and seek him in all we need big or small. God tried to show me this when he sent Sister Lori to my post last time and she gave me the scripture I needed but I was not faithful and did not head his word. I am so glad he loves me enough to keep teaching me and loves me so much he sends me wonderful Sisters to learn from I feel very blessed to be in the faith and to have the Bible to follow so I know how to live my life. Our Lord is so sweet and loving. So I am here to tell you I wont be doing that again. I have at last learned this lesson. There are so manymore to learn I am glad I have my family in God to learn from and with..............................................

Great Visit but to short

2008-05-04T22:47:00.002-06:00

OK I know I sound like I am wining but Brother Richard and Sister Saundra where here only 1 night boo hoo but it was great. We had my moms wonderful tacos for dinner and for desert my mom made upside down pineapple cake. Well It is not my favorite so I decided to use Sister Tiffy's Kitchen blog and I made Sister Janet Pelkeys cream cheese cake oh my it was wonderful(Thanks Sister Tiffy) I had never made it and I don't really cook or bake and that is another blog hehehe but I pray and I prayed it would be good for my guests and it was. OK OK I know enough about the food and on to the visit it was so awesome I had been praying about some things in my life and the faith and God gave Brother Richard the words I needed and the scripture too it was so sweet as you can tell from my posts I like to talk so I asked a ton of questions and kinda took up the evening I feel. No one else felt like that as far as I know but I felt kinda of guilty so it was OK with my when I woke up feeling very very tired and stayed home for breakfast. I am sure my mom had a wonderful visit over coffee in the morning with them so it was good all the way around so to end the post my visit was very short but very very sweet and greatly appreciated.

Just Catching up

2008-04-26T21:39:00.006-06:00

I have been really really busy working so not much time to post. I have worked 12 days in a row and have a few more to0 go. I am very tired but that is ok God knows what I can handle. Now for some good news. God has been very good to me he has brought people into my life that I can share my love for him with here in Montana wow that is so awesome to me. God knew I was at my end and provided what I needed it is so sweet to share my love for God and my belief and my faith these ladies. They are not in our church but they love the Lord and are very sweet so until I get to be with my brethren I am going to hang out with these ladies and share my love of God with them. Who knows maybe some of them will come to the faith. God has also made it so I can share more at work too and I am loving it. There is so much more peace in me at work now that I can be who God wants I just love God he is my very best friend..

I have a question

2008-04-19T00:02:00.003-06:00

I was talking to my sister Jennie and telling her that I could not sleep the other night and had to keep telling satan to go away in Jesus name. She asked me if I told him once than why didn't he stay gone all night and why did I have to keep telling him to go. I told her because saten kept coming back to torment my mind she said that I should of only have had to say it once but I don't think so saten likes to keep on tormenting us so what is all your opinions on this? Also when I did spell check it said I had to capitalize the word saten do I really he dose not deserve that kind of respect.

My testimony

2008-04-15T21:36:00.002-06:00

After reading Sis Jackie's testimony I thought at this time it would be a comfort to hear other Testimonies so here's mine please Sisters share yours too. When I was a small girl we were made to go to church and to Sunday school I too did the whole say the pray thing and thought I was good to go. I fell for the lies that the I was being taught by false profits. When my older sister Charlotte was 18 she was Baptized in the church in Long Beach and I went there off and on but continued to live in the world and sin. I would watch my sister and the people she went to church with and they all had this love for God and each other and this peace and I wanted it. I always said I wanted to be like my sister when I grew up she is very sweet and has a faith like you wouldn't believe than she moved to Boise and I really saw the love that the brethren has for God and each other and man I wanted that but the Devil kept me scared. I went to a sisters tea and was outside smoking yes I said smoking and Sister Renee came out to talk to me and told me she loved me even though I smoked I was surprised but pleased and than on an other visit to Boise I went to Brother Jimmy's and Sister Paula's house for a visit I was really having a battle God wanted me and so did the devil it felt like there was a real fight going on and I left my mom and Sister Charlotte at there house and drove around with my 1 year old daughter I am not sure for how long but I decided I needed to go get my mom and sister or I would be in big trouble so I went back and Brother Jimmy and I talked and God gave him the words I needed to hear that was a Friday on Sunday I wanted to give it all to God and be baptized so I was and it has been the best thing ever Now I am like my sister I have my faith and my love for God and no matter what no one can take that from me or the love I have with my brethren there is one more thing I want to tell I continued to smoke even though I knew God wanted me to stop and I felt very bad I was letting God down by the way I smoked for 36 years that was most of my life I felt close to God but knew I could be closer but the smoking thing stopped me than a few weeks ago I became very ill and almost died there I was couldn't breath running a fever the whole nine yards and I staggered out to the front door to go outside and have a smoke and I just stopped and begged God to help me and the desire just went away and I am now a non smoker thanks to my wonderful God I am closer than ever to him he is so awesome to love me so much well there it is how I became a sister in the faith

How to handle grief ?

2008-04-14T23:59:00.003-06:00

I have prayed and prayed for Gods help can any one give me advise I am still really a babe in the faith and have never dealt with this situation before not even when I was in the world. I am not sure what to post. I am not even sure this post is appropriate I just need some advise and scripture please also please let know if this post is OK if not I will delete it. Love to all my Sisters and brothers Love. Sister Charlene

Sharing God at work

2008-04-06T19:19:00.006-06:00

I am not at a loss for words today I have about 3 blog posts I could do. I will begin with what an awesome God we serve. I was at work and a Grandma about 73 years old or so came in with her grandson she was fishing in her purse for money for them to had a ton of change and claimed to have forgotten her money at home. Now there are not to many chances at work for me to share God with people now God gave me a chance. I was watching this lady and praying and I knew what God wanted me to do. I went into the back and got my ATM card and bought there food she almost cried. She asked when I worked next. I told her to pay it forward or she could pay me back when she got the money or not it was OK I was doing what God wanted me to do. Now this is not about me it is about God. Can you imagine all the people at my work watching this why I don't know but they were. I was not being loud or anything just all of a sudden there they were watching. After the lady received her food and walk away they started asking questions and all I could tell them was I prayed and God wanted me to feed those people. It opened a way for me to share God and my faith in a place that is full of sin and sadness for me. All I can say is wow I love God so much.

P.S. The little boy had a happy meal and Grandma had a fish sandwich and water that was all she wanted so I know in my heart that this was truly a gift from god to me to be able to share God with the People at work...

A gift from God

2008-04-03T12:27:00.005-06:00

I have been doing allot of thinking and praying. I thought for a while God was not giving me a gift and I figured he thought I was not ready. Than it came to me I do have a gift from God and it is Love. I am and have been able to most of my life to love and except people for who they were and what they where. People would say your a better person than me I could never forgive so and so and I would say it is not me it is God. I would do this even before I was in the faith as allot of you know God has been after me for a long time. When I say I love my brethren it is with all my heart that I do. Even the people in my life as I was growing up that have hurt me beyond what a person should ever suffer I still love them and forgive them but only with Gods help can I do this. I know that people sometimes feel that the saying I love you is giving to easily but for me if the words leave my mouth they are meant from the deepest part of my heart. So I will finish this by saying to my dear sweet Brethren and church family all over the U.S. I do and always will love you and pray for you when ever you need it. Love, Sister Charlene

Well I am not to sure.......

2008-03-31T22:31:00.004-06:00

I am not to sure what some will think but I entered LaShanna in a pageant it was for fun and we did have fun doing it. She really loved it. I was able to use the experience to teach her to be kind and encourage others. When we were done she had won Little Miss Sunburst 2008 of Kalipell. We were leaving and she was telling other kids how good they were and she looked at them and said she would miss them there moms were like she is so sweet and cute I was able to say it was because of God that she has such a sweet heart. Some of you who read my blog wont agree with me entering her and some will but if things like a pageant are done with a good and kind heart and it is fun than I am ok with it.

2008-03-29T22:31:00.003-06:00

My Mom was in the hospital last night with heart trouble we need your prayer please. I took today off work and brought her to my home for a few days so I can take care of her we just need prayer. I am so thankful for our Lord he was right there with me last night and with her it was sweet to him working even when I was so worried and scared it was like he reached out and held my hand I could feel him there with me and could see my mom was at peace too because she could feel him as well. Mom is doing better now she is just very tired I am glad that God has called on me to care for her as a daughter and a Sister in the faith..

Happy Easter

God at work again

2008-03-21T23:32:00.005-06:00

I never get tired of telling how God works in my life so here is another time. My 4 wheel drive on my jimmy has been broken since I bought my car this past summer, The check 4 wheel drive light kept coming on than one time this winter I tried to use it and it went hay wire. The guy at the shop said I needed a new something or another anyway I have not used it for most of the winter. Well LaShanna and I went up to my sisters Thursday on the way up the mountain to her house we got stuck the road was to slippery. I told LaShanna we needed to pray so we did and we put on my gospel music and started to sing oh yea before that I had a CD in that was talking about things in the bible to increase a child's faith anyway than we got stuck on the slippery hill and we prayed and we sang and the car started to move up the hill very slowly and LaShanna got so excited she said mommy God moved our car and by golly he did. We praised God for his miracle and on we went sing and talking tell we came to my sister road were we got really really stuck we weren't going any where LaShanna said mommy we have to walk I said no lets pray God will fix my 4 wheel drive mommy can't walk that far OK so we prayed and wow I hit the 4by4 auto button and it worked off we went I know this long but it is worth it. So we have a great visit and it is now time to leave I admit I was very nervous but we prayed again and off down the mountain we go we get down and it is time to take the car out of 4 wheel drive we pray again and it works. LaShanna got so excited that God fixed our car It made me cry tears of joy God planted such a great amount of faith in my little girl is he not wonderful. ( oh yea he planted great faith in me too)

God answers my prayer

2008-03-19T21:43:00.002-06:00

Hi all thought I would share a really sweet testimony. The other night I was really struggling with my faith and wondering if I was failing God and feeling very alone. I wrote a blog about it but right after I posted it I deleted it I was to embarrassed to keep it posted. I was and had been praying to God about all this over and over again. I had sent a Sister an email but not about this stuff.
The very next day she emailed me with the sweetest email and let me know I was not alone that God brings me and my mom to her mind many times and that she prayed for me These are some of her words and boy did God know I needed them "We pray for you both all the time and thank the Lord for filling your hearts with his Spirit. I'm so comforted by that because I know that you can endure all things by the grace, power and strength that the Lord gives when we call on him." Is that the coolest God heard my cries and answered my prayers. Once again he comes to my rescue I love my Lord so much. Thanks God for always being there for me.

God sure works wonders

2008-02-10T22:40:00.001-07:00

So I have been praying for God to help me. My job has been really hard on my back and on me emotionally. So I prayed for Gods help over and over and God heard me. I was able to transfer to days the hours are good. I go in around 10 or 11 and I either work 3- 5 -6 hours so I get up with LaShanna and I am home to have dinner with my family and to play with LaShanna. The people I work with are so much more friendly and time just flies by. The work is easier than closing. I still need prayer for my back it is really really bad but God hears my prayers and is in his time answering them I just love God so much.

Fun work

For those of you who are my friends on my space you can go to my my space to see the video this about the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Papa loves his little girls so much he plays with her like this all day it is so wonderful to watch. They keep me laughing all the time and let me tell you LaShanna loves him she thinks he is better than candy they are very close. What is hard to see is they are playing on Little kids horns and LaShanna dressed her Papa up he goes along with it there quite a pair.

Seeing life through my child's eyes

2008-01-26T08:07:00.000-07:00

After being up all night pondering life crying and praying that God would show me some sign that it all would be OK. LaShanna woke up and we cleaned her room, I clean when I need to think. She was so delighted to see toys she had missed placed I thought at first how silly she has played with them a thousand times. Than we cleaned out her dresser drawers and again she was in wonder and had to try on all her hats and examine her panties even though she wont were them, Ugh potty training a disaster I might add .As I watch this taking place I realized God was saying look through the eyes of a child at life and enjoy what you have. Well than she decided she wanted pudding I know not the best breakfast but papa will cook us eggs and sausage soon so I thought this one time wont hurt and she loved it. As we got ready to eat her pudding(She still wants me to help I love it) she looked into the spoon and with big eyes said mommy I see me in my spoon I see my tongue she giggled. ( I had to grab the camera she was so cute) At that point I knew God was using her once again to show me to relax he will care for me and my needs just as I do hers she believes in me I need to have faith in him and know in my heart that he will meet my needs just like I will meet LaShanna's needs. Once again I feel the peace I let go of and my Dear sweet heavenly father gave it back to me. I am so blessed to be so loved by him and so blessed to have such a sweet smart daughter to learn from thank you God for my life and for giving me my sweet baby girl.
