friday...finally??..is it really true?!

Today was a good day. I woke up feeling good which hasn't happened in awhile. I believe Joel is trying to start sleepwalking. In the meantime, the dogs(Darla and Paris) are going nutts at night(I'm guessing theres more creatures coming out in the summer). I had a doctors appt. today that I've been waiting on!! I had been put on a lactose-free and gluten free diet at the same time to see if either would help and I couldn't tell any difference. Today he told me I could eat whatever I felt like eating.....PRAISE THE LORD!!! All the major tests came back ok which is awesome because boy! there were some scary ones. Ashton is graduating preschool tonight ...man! that blows my mind!! It seems like yesterday that he was in diapers...trying SO hard to reach doorknobs and now he goes in and out of them like its nothing. Time flys-don't it!?! Anyways, Joel and I are doing well. Working on the house and praying for what God has laid in our future. Hes leaning towards Hwy. Patrol as a option but we're still open for others. Just keep us in your prayers...we're doing fine...we just have went from no bills hardly to an infinity amount of medical charges at several places that was just unseen for us. But we're doing good...enjoying time together as usual. Hope all of you have a great weekend!


As Always,

tuesday

I feel a lot better today thank goodness! I have my appt. Friday that will tell all my test results...please pray that they have found the problem. Joel and I are doing good...he trying to stay devoted to working out and watching what he eats...I'm very proud. The weather today looks really nice so far..in the midst across the street from where I work...gas went up a lot more. Don't forget to pray for our nation as well. Have a good day

I was thinking today of how far I've came. Its just so amazing. I was so far from the Lord in my early teens and didn't want any different. Now, despite it all...I am in church, married, and trying to work on my faults everyday. I am so thankful for God's grace but most of all I think...his mercy. He has picked me up, sat me down, held me, rocked me, loved me, and protected me in days that most would have had a parent as well..I had only him(which is all I do need).I shouldn't be here today but I'm thankful for his mercy. Pray for my grandmother...she (since of recently breaking her hip) isn't able to do much yet and with my papaw passing away...she can't do much to keep her mind off of it. I've been staying most of these week nights(this week) with her and trying to do all I can to make her smile...even though its hard for me at times being in the bed I used to watch TV with him and being in the house in general...I know its much harder for her(Would have been married 60 years in August). Also, I'm suppost to get some test results today..PLEASE pray if nothing revealed that maybe it will just leave me....its going on 6 months now...I do good at work mostly ....its mainly at night and morning time. Pray for Joel..hes woke up sick..his chest hurts so bad even just when walking...especially when coughing...but he doesn't have other issues(I HOPE not) ...it could be broncitis or pnemonia. Hope all of you have a good week!

As Always,
Joel and Victoria
