I am in the living room working on my PC and LaShanna comes in and say look mommy look at me. Well I did and could not stop laughing for a very long time the Lord has blessed this child with a wonderful way of making people laugh. She is such a love . So a few day later she comes in and asks me to do her bangs . I comply and as she stands there she says to me I need to see my bangs mommy and what you see is what I saw I had to ask her to do it again cause I needed a picture she had know idea how funny it was what a hoot.

Sorry the pictures are not in order I have a hard time posting pictures..

LaShanna's pet worm

LaShanna loved her worm she made it a pet for 24 hour the pictures say it all.

God's T.V.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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 ?

I don't know how to handle the grief I feel for my dear sweet friend. 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

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

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
