Hoppy Easter!

Really Trying to keep up here :)

Let's see in our household this week we prepared for company Sunday by Spring Cleaning (by we I mean I). Saturday we went to 2 egg hunts. At one we mostly spent our time standing in line (I got a sunburn) the kids were very bored and whiny. They even had the kids standing in line to egg hunt??!! Like an hour there and an hour in the hot dog line to find out 5 people ahead of us they ran out :(

Olivia got lost at the one in Greenwood. We were standing there when a helicopter came with the Easter Bunny in it and he was throwing out eggs, candy, and MONEY!! Every single person there swarmed around us for the money and Olivia was just gone. I panicked and almost bawled but a little girl found her. She had went across the parking lot (thankfully avoided by moving and backing up vehicles) to where the bunny's helicopter had landed. Still a little freaked out.

I woke up at 3 am Sunday to complete the finishing touches: Shampooed the carpet, decorated the table, prepared the Easter baskets and washed the rugs. I worked until 10 am then had to get ready for church at New Life (LOVE it still!!!) It is definitely a chore in itself to get 3 little girls ready for church alone. I miss just picking out the clothes and handing them to Blaine :(

After church we had lunch and company canceled due to it looked like rain so we came home and they got their baskets and I read the Easter Story. It's important to me that they know why we celebrate. My Savior Lives!!!!

We were all sad that Blaine wasn't here for the first time in 6 years. But I just try to look forward to the day he will be home and we will be financially secure. i could care less about having anything other than a roof and facebook (lol) but I want the kids to have everything. Keep on Swimming.

He hears us even when we don't speak

Isn't God amazing??? I don't even know how else to begin this post other than amazing things are happening for our family right now.

Yesterday I had made up my mind about something. I had been deeply hurt, like the "how can I ever move past this?" kind of hurt. I cried for 6 hours. I did not want to go to church all swollen eyed and red faced but I went.

Had I not, man, this blog would be totally different. I would be totally different. I posted on my facebook before church how I was hurt. I didn't say why, I won't. My couple of close friends they know. God knows. I said in my post how supposedly time heals all wounds. Then I leave facebook and go to church. Red swollen puffy eyes and all.

And the message is all about being HURT! I didn't even ask God but He knew what I needed to hear. I kept looking around waiting for hidden cameras to be revealed and someone saying "You've been punked" Like seriously I was like okay did this guy have my phone tapped???

Marcus (the Pastor) told us exactly how not to deal with hurt, and how to heal. He actually said Time doesn't heal wounds, God does!!! How right on is that?? It was so amazing I cannot get this feeling out of me. I took my hurt and I gave it to God. It's His. I am done hurting. I am done holding on to anger and resentment. I am done being bitter over everything. Yeah my life has been crap. Yeah I lost my mom and my son and my daughter lives 16 hours from me. But I am alive and I have a husband who loves me and our kids and is working hard to give us everything. I have a home and friends and I have my God!!!

My whole life changed because of one decision. One choice not to let satan hold me down and keep me locked up and hurting at home. I am just so happy today and I want to stay that way. My life is about to get a whole lot better. :) I am so excited!!

Anyway nothing else really went on this week so I will check back in later on :) I hope everyone has an awesome week and a wonderful Easter! It is a day to celebrate!!!
