Motivational Monday-Overcoming and doing amazing things

I have seen this video many times but it always touches my heart.  Overcoming many odds and heartache to do an amazing thing!!!  I only hope I can do that in my life.  Life has been kicking my butt lately so I hope to look back and see the new growth and renewal after all the fires.

Motivational Monday-Jeremiah 29:11

This is a scripture I have placed everywhere around my home. It brings comfort and peace.  It is always good to look to the LORD and his word in this life.  It is what I try to live by.  I do fall short for sure but I try.

Working on my blog style

I have a hard time coming up with things sometimes as I get  busy as everyone else and sometimes I don't have pictures that would make the post better so I have been trying to come up with a way to keep more in touch with my blog and post more often so I thought I would try some of the day of the week blogs.  I am not stylish so what I wore wed would NOT be pretty:)  I am going to pick some days and make them a regular thing.
 So my first day will be Motivational monday.  What better way to start a week than being motivated.  I will use things from my life, others lives, the internet, etc.  Hope you will enjoy this:)

Doing more with this blog

I have said it before and I need to really make more of an effort to keep this blog up.  I love looking back and remembering all we have been through.  I have slacked and also been a little intimidated to write somethings.  I am who I am and that is all I will ever be.  So I want to make sure I spend more time updating and sharing:)  I love blogging and am so grateful for the friends I have made here.  I learn so much from reading about others and what they are going through.  I love the people that are real and share the good, the bad and the ugly.  The ones that stand up for what they believe in no matter what others say.  That takes guts and I appreciate that.  So I will try and remember that when I hesitate to share things.  Thank you to everyone who reads my blog and comments.  It is nice to have others share their opinion and experiences:)

My heart is in south dakota

My heart never left south dakota when we left.  I truly feel like that is where home is.  But seeing all the pictures and reading all the articles my heart is with everyone there.  I can't even put into words the sadness I have for all that are going through that.  It will affect people in SOOOO many ways.  I have checked in with all of our friends in the area and some did alright and there were a few that just started to cry and all they could say was they are gone in reference to the cattle.  So as we go about our days please lift these people and their livestock up in prayer as this is going to change peoples lives forever!!!

October already!!

Man every years seems to go faster.  This has been a crazy one for sure.  October is my favorite month and Halloween is my favorite holiday.  To top it off it is my husbands birth month so it is all around a good month:)  Not to mention hunting season:)  We have been busy with getting ready and now hunting, working, and keeping up with family and friends.
   My body on the other hand is not keeping up and trying to kick my butt.  But I have found a group on facebook for hashi's sufferers and am learning SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.  There is so much to auto immune disorders that I did not know and that I am appalled and irritated that doctors don't know or emphasize.  I am having to make huge changes in my life diet wise, medication wise, etc.  This disease can lead to very bad things such as diabetes, heart disease, ms, and many many other issues.  There is no cure and it is something I will battle for the rest of my life but all this knowledge will help me make it at least better.  Now we are working on trying to get insurance so I can get in for check ups and have some help in all the tests I need.  We have found spots on my kidneys, ribs and now enlargement in my throat so we are trying to find affordable insurance so we can get the MRI and CAT scans done to make sure the cancer is not back and has not spread.  It is scary to say the least. So we will see what happens.  I keep praying for the best and a long happy life with my husband.
   I am ready for the cool weather but not the record amounts of rain:( ICK!!!  I Hope we got a lot of it out of the way for the winter then:)  But it is Oregon so I am sure it will give us plenty of rain the next 9 months:)
