Out of the Mouths Of Babes..IS THAT GOD?

Happy Sunday Friends!
I hope your day and weekend went well.Kolby stayed this weekend with us,well he always does,lol,,If he is out of school.little man is here.He arrived with a little extra Friday...A 2 month old poodle. :0
He says'' NannaBee,i can't have this at mommies but i can have him and he stay here while i am at school and i come back and he is here,,Make sense??????? ;0
Remember he is only 4!Needless to say there is a ,maybe a pound,puppy laying on Kolbys sleepwear in the floor beside me.Yep he is missing his master and he sleeps where he smells him.I am afraid he is going to be whining tonight!
GOT TO TELL YOU A STORY!
oK...We are setting in church and Kolby has his money to give to God in church.One of the deacon's was passing the bowl taking up our tithe's.He comes to Kolby and he carefully places his money,counting it out,into the bowl.Lane passes on and Kolby says''where is he taking the money'',I said it does not matter baby,it is God's money now and it is used for him....All at once,Kolby looked straight at me and said Nanna. THAT'S GOD?????????? referring to the deacon taking our tithes...I almost busted up laughing right there.I said no no Kolby...That is not God.Yes he spoke it loudly too.Several got a good tickle out of him!!!!!RIGHT OUT OF THE MOUTH'S OF CHILDREN.I have decided i need to talk a little more about who God is in Sunday school...lol....

Ever get behind???Grandparents is this your life?

Blessed morning everyone!
Are you like me and seems like more and more you get behind?I think it comes with age,i really do.Stress and health plays a large part too i know.The reason i decided to name this blog starting again is because over the past 10 years i feel i have started agin.I could make a book here,but no worries,i will not.
I have a 29 year old son,who is a certified termite exterminator as well as a computer whiz,and lead singer in a band and a bass player in another,He has went on tour with the bands around the usa several times and can play dang near anything he wants too.Loves the hippie look but at the same time,one of the sweetest guys you could meet(most times.lol)He is now the father of one of my granddaughters 16 months old,and with my precious daughter in law Julie!She is such a blessing to our family.I do love Julie!She is a wonderful partner for my son and the best mom i could ever have for Charlize mae.She is visiting her family in Arizona now with little princess and we do miss them.
I have a 27 year old daughter that could be a model if she had so inclined.She is very good at decoarating and arrangine things together,something i wish i had more of.She made some very bad decisions at one time in her life with meth,that almost cost her her kids.Through a hige struggle,determination ,God and family ,she has been clean now 24 months!Thank God.Her story is looking better every day.She is now very involved with her kids and school activities ,as well as the mother of 3 of my grandkids.Age 7,4,and 15 months.She has her hands full,yes....
When they were teens i met ,now hubby Jeff,along with his 4 year old that his mom dropped off at my house just a few short weeks after me and Jeff were dating.One of the reasons we went ahead and married were because of this.I believe a child needs the care of a mother or mother figure.Through these last 13 years Zacks mom would come in and out of the picture and his grandma just enough to make this little boys life a mess,full of lies and deceit.Even to the point of telling him we kidnapped him,etc,because she chose not too have anything to do with him for 2 solid years..no calls,xmas presents nothing,and she lives only 15 miles away!!!!she chose her life,that did not involve raising a child,but would not let him be happy!Now at age 17 he has chosen to be with her and now is in trouble with the law for shooting out windows at her trailer park!!!!They have literally destroyed him and do nt care!I could write a book here on just this BUT,,,,and yes through the years we have tried using police,jail scares,church,juvinile persons and none could help us with him.So now,we have an almost grown son who you can do nothing with but pray!
Back to my grandkids,in 2002 Billy was born.By age 8 months we had him over half the time.Kolby was born in 2005 ,june,when he was 5 months old he was left with me for 5 months,most all time.Drugs had started now.He went back when she got clean at 13 months and then came back at 18 months and billy was 4 .For 15 months i did not hear from my daughter.Did not know if she was dead or alive!I would not wish this on anyone.She came back that october pregnant with my granddaughter ,2 1/2 months along ,and through a tough battle has got her life and kids getting along pretty good.She knows this is something she can never forget ,nor them,but she can keep it from happening again.Talk about stress and learning to depend on GOD! Yes prayer can help and get you through...Now the kids are with Rita and with me on weekends.I miss them while they are gone,but a well needed break when i know they are ok.Grandparents are suppose to be grandparents..not parents.We are missing out on a special role with our kids anymore.But i must say we are making bonds that we would not have any other way.So any of you starting again with grandkids you raise as kids,,I understand!There are so many women now that from just selfish,to drugs,to physical mental problems,don't keep their kids.Bless the little one's in this generation but aWARDS TO YOU ALL THAT DO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THESE PRECIOS LITTLE ONES!!!!!!there are a lot of kids that even grandparents will not take...

So when i am behind,,,IM SORRY...life is the way it is!This is my life.. ;)

Have a good one readers and thanks for coming by..Leave me a comment..Is this your life?????

Got too stop making a book,,,,So if i do get behing ,please forgive me.

Grandson's testimony and mine.What are you waiting for Church?

Good afternoon friends,
I am so happy to feel better today.I had an awful night last night.My temp actually dropped to 95 degrees!I checked this 2 times to be sure.If you have never had that happen ,let me tell you,your body and mind feel terrible!I was dizzy,exhausted,sleepy,fighting not to lay down because for a while i was scared to go to sleep here alone!It was frightening.Then to top that off i got sick on my stomach with terrible heartburn...
Then i find myself outside about to throw up ,which i so hate to do because it takes my breath away,asthma.I literally at that point start praying to God and and taking a faith stand against the sickness.IT IMMEDIATELY WENT AWAY!!thank you God ,ALL GLORY TO YOU!!!!within 10 seconds i was thanking God....The nausea stopped immediately people and a lot of the weakness and dizziness.Within 20 minutes i was laying down and ready for sleep!God is amazing and it is such a gift that he left us his word,the living bible,so that we would know what to do and what to ask for.You may not get the answer you need when u think u need it,But he is in control....
My grandsons prayer life inspired me all over again Saturday.His fish,yes his fish,was dieing.It was already floating and he and kolby were upset by that.With no spoken words billy (age 7) set down in front of the aquarium ,put his hands under his cheek,lowered his head and was silently praying.Kolby (age 4)saw it and fell in right behind him.What words they said,i do not know,only the lord knows....BUT...i do know that their fish is swimming like nothing ever happened to him today!GLORY!!!!
He told his story at church Sunday as a testimony..YES...even fish matter to God,how much more you do!If the simple prayer of a child works to reach God,why not think yours and ours do????I don't mean just tossing words or demands out there ,i mean prayer from the heart with a trust that he is hearing!He is listening dear friend,,He is...Only you and i can limit God.Believe in Jesus and lift up your hearts and hands to God..You will be amazed at what will be unleashed...Come on Church..What are you waiting for?JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
