Cold day here is East Idaho...
The snow plow has just come down the lane. The water in our house started to freeze; Todd has gone to go start the heater in the well pit. This is easily one of the coldest days of the year, but yet Todd and I are enjoying our time together. I enjoy any time with Todd, we play Yahtzee and cards and laugh and talk. I am truly blessed to have him. Seems like I cherish him now the way I should have been all along. I realize this is a journey, that my LIFE is a journey and as long as I continue to press on seeking God's face, spending time abiding in his will, I am right where I am suppose to be.
So I will continue to be joyfull all of my days, (all of them) the best I can, and even though some days I will fail, I will start all over the next morning with renewed grace from my Lord.

Till Next Time, God Bless

Ummmm hello

I know it has been another month of nothing. I had and have great plans, in my head, to get up and running with consistent blogs to share my everyday life. About 2 months ago a really good friend of my husband Todd called to share that he has excepted the Lord and his Savior, can we get a great big Hallelujah!!!!! and then Todd's friend said.......I'm dying...............wow, right?
My husband said that we all would be praying for him and his wife and if there was something he could do to just let us know and Todd's friend said well unless you are O positive there is nothing more you can do. Todd then said well, I am O positive......we filled out 16 pages of Live Donor forms and faxed them to Stanford University to start the process of testing Todd to see if he could possibly be a donor for his friend. We fly out on the 5th to San Fransisco for two days of tests and consultation. The past two months have been a roller coaster of emotions for Todd, our daughters and myself. I wanted to be angry, upset, frustrated,even insulted about this and then God said to me "what if it was Todd that needed a liver?" I know that if this was my husband that his friend would do the same thing for him. We know that there is no greater gift than to lay down our life for a friend. I have to trust God for each day and that He will be Glorified through this. If my husband is the best possible match I will be trying to post as often as possible so that you all can share in this everyday life...
Stay tuned for updates....
