Good Day! I hope today has been full of blessing already!
I can say I have been blessed tremendously! I woke up! There's number one.
I could still see, speak, walk, and hear. My husband was next to me when I woke up and my children were still safely snuggled up in their beds. I had clean clothes and food to eat this morning. I had a running car with gas to be able to take my son to school. I then drove to my church for a Bible study with friends who care about me and listen to me. I got to learn more about my God today without having to hide my Bible or be in fear that someone would kill me along the way because I love and worship God. I AM BLESSED!
I am learning in my Bible study so far that I have not given my all to God. What I mean is that I have not learned to trust him COMPLETELY. Sure I trust HIM. I rely on HIM, but I have also found that I have been feeling I need God AND my friends to survive. When I have a problem I have felt that the prayer I lifted up to God wasn't enough to satisfy me but I also had to find someone else to talk to. I have learned that this should not be the case. So therefore today I will be spending as much time with God as possible to tell him everything I have been thinking,feeling, etc. TO GIVE EVERYTHING TO HIM.
I encourage you to do the same if you are reading this.
Are you tired, burdened by something or in pain? Tell Jesus. Trust Jesus to help you through it. He won't always heal or erase the problem in an instant but He will give you the streght. wisdom and guidance to get through it if you ask him. He walks WITH us.
Good Day!

HELLO!

I am coming back. I took a day yesterday to just "Play around" break out of routine and just do what I wanted to do on the computer no matter how long it took. I usually limit myself to an hour online at a time. In doing so I came across an old but very familiar link I hadn't visited in years, I can't believe I said YEARS! www.xanga.com.
I decided to read some of it and see what I had forgotten. Quite a bit. And I wish I still looked like the photo on my page. LOL. But my husband looks much better looking these days than that picture does. I WILL definitly have to show him off later. LOL I mean that in a good way, not at all bragging of course.
Anyway 2 years ago we moved to a different house and picked up new habits online and lost some old habits. So that is where I have been the past 2 years. So I reminisced and decided that Xanga is so much more uplifting and peaceful to me them Myspace. Yes I went to Myspace a couple years ago to play with it because my sister asked me to. Now my parents and other friends are there too. But here there is a more open and positive ambience.
So to anyone who visited me in the past, I hope you haven't disappeared. To all others hang around. I hope you received a message from the Lord today. I will be back in a few. Got something to do real quick.

Thanks for the encouragment and the welcome backs. I appreciate you all who visit my Xanga. In a way you help to hold me accountable to keep myself in check because I won't come on here and lie to you and tell you everything is peachy keen when it isn't. So I try to constantly do what I am supposed to in my walk with the Lord so I can help to uplift someone who might come here for encouragement.

Great, now I am hoping that I am not sounding conceited. Its just that I know how much it means for me to read someone else's Xanga and hear how that person focuses on the Lord in the little things, even washing wiondows can be a spiritual thing for some people and I get alot of encouragement from reading stuff like that. I don't want to be one of those who complains about everything. I hope to be an inspiration to someone, even one person in my lifetime.

Anyway, I don't know where all that came from but...

So, sish, here is what I have been up too. While I was out I started my own business, well sort of. We are allowed to call it that. I am now a PartyLite consultant. I am totally amazed and thrilled at myself for taking this leap! It is so much fun! I just came back from a show tonight, and I hope you don't mind but you'll probably hear alot about my shows since I do most of them at night and my husband leaves shortly after I get home from work so I have no one to let my "high" bouce off of. So in advance I will thank all you who hang around to read about my PartyLite adventure.

Tonights party was my 4th party, but my first in front of 100% complete strangers. So far every opther party has had at least 2 people I knew. But surprisingly I did well, I got some good constructive criticism to take into consideration and apply it to my self. I learned what things to never forget and I learned that I did a pretty good job of being the center of attention in a house full of strangers. I NEVER would have thought I'd do well in that kind ofatmosphere.

I thank the Lord for all the confidence he has given me in the past 2 months. I never imagined I would ever be this confidant!

I am having the time of my life doing PartyLite. I HIGHLY recommend it to the SAHM who is bored with staying home all day every day, like I did for the past 5 years. Its such a confidence booster, its fun and exciting.

I won't do my commercial here more than that, but I will say, PLEASE ask me any questions you may have anytime, okay? I am so excited about this new business opportunityI can't wait to share it with everyone who will listen.

So that is al I have to say for tonight, I pray that all are doing well and feeling healthy. In Christ's love, Crystal

I am back again. Our retreat was lovely, I came back with new goals to be a better wife and a more patient and loving mother.

Some of my struggles lately have been giving my husband the wifely affection he deserves, and patiently listening to him when he talks about things I would rather not listen to. But I am going to focus on the positive and try to give my 100% to him instead of only 50%.

My struggles with motherhood is my patience has worn thin, very thin, almost to nonexistance. I am always telling my husband to be more patient and understanding but I have not been myself. So my goal is to pray more, to lean on God more and to take a minute to ask for God's guidance and his patience to come into me when it comes time to discipline my children in EVERY circumstance. So far so good, still need a little more work but I have not lost control in the 24 hours I have been home, and that is a good thing!

My other goal is to spend more time with God, learning his Word, memorizing scripture, and learning to pray more.

On a different note...

My son told me something this morning that make me cry, He is 4 years old and for the first time said something I never thought I'd hear from him until he grew up.

He said he was sitting in his bed last night thinking and wondering what the name of the Rescue Heroes character was on his PJ's and he said he thought and thought and then.... GOD TOLD ME, his name was Billy Blazes.

He actually said "God told me" I love it!!!
