Someday is ToDAy!

This is my first post since beginning this blog TWO years ago....... There are so many reasons that I decided to start today. (it's the 6th now but I started on this before midnight, now it's two a.m.) January 5th has been a very "constant" and important date in my life. Lots of things have happened on the 5th of January for many years. It's really just a stand out day for me..... You get the point ;)

Here are a few of the reasons.......Random I'm afraid......

In church next Sunday they are starting a new series......
"Someday: Codeword For Never"
Hmmmmm that sounds familiar? I am a true procrastinator. Very fitting.
I have wanted to start posting for some time now but my mind must have said Someday.......

Brie Gomez, no we never met and that is unfortunate for me from what I have heard and read about her. A young, beautiful, Christian Mother that was tragically taken from her precious babies, husband and family one day after Christmas who is now their Angel in Heaven. On that fateful day after what I'm sure was crazy busy with two little girls and a baby on the way.....about to be born to soon without a mother, Brie didn't say "Someday". She said today, now, and I am just talking about her sweet family BLOG like mine...... She took the time to post a song, a song that I love and have listened to many times in the last two weeks, "Forever Reign". What beautiful words to have in your
heart the day you meet Jesus! Brie wasn't to busy, to tired, or any of the excuses I give myself to put things off to strengthen and share her obvious love for her family and Jesus Christ! Now what does that say about me? It's says a lot. It has also reminded me of something we all know and I have even taking for granted way to long, LIFE IS TO SHORT to live in someday. Live NOW with Grace. That is my plan.
Thank You Brie for opening my eyes again. I continue to pray for your sweet family.

David Johnson, yes I was bLESSeD to know him from Kindergarten on and call him my friend. There are to many things on my heart to say
about him, so for now I'll just say that David was a precious person all the way around and I know he'd want everyone to Live NOW with the
GRACE that he did.
He is now another Angel in heaven watching over his beautiful family.

Imagine the day Brie and David are reunited with their families in heaven! At least that's what I have always believed, why would god put
someone in your life that you love with everything you have and just take them away forever? He wouldn't!

Cancer, that's another reason not to wait for "Someday". It took my sweet Daddy and in the last year has threatened to take my Aunt K, and my stepmother Emma aka Granny ;) they are to strong for you! Both beating the odds, Emma practically Cancer free and Kato back at the New Years Dance nappy ho hair and all! Prayer works. I know firsthand! Tonight I found out a very sweet friend was diagnosed with breast cancer too. I know through prayer, faith, and grace she will win her battle too!

Our sweet handsome little friend and neighbor Collier, he has CF, even though you might never know it! He's in the hospital now and
I promise you he is the life of the party. We could all learn a lot from that sweet baby boy. I promise you he's living NOW! He was blessed
with a precious Mommy and a great family that have devoted themselves to their kiddos

That's enough "Now" for tonight! I hope my first attempt wasn't to shabby! I accomplished one of my small goals though so that makes it all worth it!
If you happen to have made it this far please pray for everyone I've mentioned. Everyone needs it! Including me and my little family. There are many challenges and changes ahead of us so please pray for strength, wisdom, grace...
