What!! Snow in spring

Well this morning I woke up to my sweet LaShanna yelling. she was so excited there was snow on the ground. Only a child could see the delight in this at the end of May. 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..

Potty Training update

Well I just wanted you all to know that LaShanna has joined the ranks of the big girls now. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Well as my Sisters know I have had a few rough weeks. I just want to tell you all that God has answered all your sweet prayers. 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
he has on us. I love God so much. Thank you all for your prayers.

Home Schooling

Well I must say I love to home school so dose LaShanna it is just a joy to see her light up when she gets it. I can not believe I missed that with my boys. Reading her the Bible is so awesome. We have started at the beginning and she loves it. I will have to post pictures of her work I am now praying that there is some way I can stay home even more so I can spend more time schooling her. We do 2 hours in the morning now I think that it is enough for actual class work but she always wants more so 3 hours would be good for her we could do more arts and music well will post again soon God Bless my Sisters love Charlene

Little Girls Prayers

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

Hi everyone I just wanted to drop a note and say thank you all for your prayers. My eye is now pain free and looks normal again. The sight is still pretty bad but thank you Lord the pain is gone.
Again what a sweet and loving God we have I praise him and give him all the glory. Just to let you all know. I no God knows what he doing so the sight problem is OK with me God will do what he will it was the pain and God has taken care of that so yahoo to God.

I Need Prayer

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
