Finally...

What a beautiful day. After toiling through 33-38 degrees (with the humidex 46) for the past week, we are now sitting at 22. Hallelujah... I'm thankful. It's to wet to work outside, so I think I'll just sit and relax. Cheers to you all, who have made it through the heat wave.

Congrats!!!

Congratulations to my sweet hubby who won first place in his division at the Paintball tournament this weekend.

I know he did most of this for me. It's my passion to go out and watch Sheldon play. He had decided to skip all the paintball tournaments this summer even though he loves being out there, and he was only going to work on the paintball field. I was so angry with him that I told him to sell the paintball field if that was his only plan.

Sheldon is a great paintball player and I didn't want to see him through it all away. It seems that any thing that guy does, he becomes a pro at, it or he gives up. He's a perfectionist!!!

I love you Babe, and I hope I'll see you out there Kicking some "bum" soon again.

I know I"m a little behind, but I wanted to share my weekend with you.


I took a long weekend off and we headed off to Pinowa. We had been invited out to a surprise 40th B-Day Party for a friend of ours. The evening was great, but the next day was awesome. We spent the day out with a ton of friends, white water rafting. I haven't had such a relaxing day in a long time. I got to meet new people and got to know some of my distant friends a lot more. They are so much fun. Thanks to who ever participated in my day of fun, I had a blast.

I love this Picture of Louise and I.

Howdy Cowboy!!!

Sheldon, Jadden and I went out and faced the heat on Sunday afternoon.The temp went as high as 35... Sweaty... We had a blast...


We went out to Morris for the Stampede. To watch though's cowboy's risk their lives for a little fun was quite intense but I'd go see it again. LOL...How do you like my hat?


MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Jadden and I had planned before we even got there, that we each wanted our very own bag of Donuts. I have to say... that's got to be one of my biggest weaknesses.

Visions...

Ok,
This might sound weird, but I have never experienced something like this in my life... If anyone has any insight for me, I ask that you please answer some of my questions.
This afternoon as I was spending some time with God, I was asking God to reveal what I was supposed to do with my life. I have been spending this year finding my purpose in life and it was a question that I asked many time's, but I never got a response.
Today He gave me a vision. It was a very clear vision.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw I glow grow larger and larger until I saw a face, two faces. It was of me sitting and playing patty cake with a little girl. This girl was only a year or so old and looked just like me. She had beautiful red curls and crisp blue eyes. Her chubby legs peeked out of a little yellow sundress. She was filled with smiles just as I was. I felt this wonderful warmth come over my body. I felt joy and tears welled up inside me as I watched us play on the quilted blanket.
I closed my eyes and I could still see the two of us on the blanket. I asked God what this was and He answered "Zion".
For though's of you who don't really know me or my husband, we are unable to have children. We have been trying to find a way to expand our family for almost eight years now and we haven't found the answer. This last spring we physically gave it to God with a bunch of loved ones surrounding us. We felt led to work on a marriage more then or fertility problem and we've been walking on clouds ever since.
My son has never given up on having a sibling, but Sheldon and I have felt enough comfort that this problem has been left in the dust. "PRAISE GOD" Is what I've been saying. God has freed us completely from our pain.
Going back just a little... During the years that we've been trying, Sheldon and I had found a name that meant a lot to us. You want to guess what it was?
"ZION"
I was filled with so many questions after the vision left me and God is staying quiet.
I know a little about reading dreams and seeing visions and I don't know if this really was God talking to me. I have heard that the feeling that you feel during a vision can answer a lot of questions... I was happy and satisfied and as I said earlier, I felt a warmth come over me. If I was feeling scared or angry, I would know that this was Satan trying to destroy the new content me. But I didn't feel the anger...
What is this?
Is God talking to me?
Am I imagining this all?
If you have any answers on how to read visions, please let me know.
If you don't, I ask you to pray for me that I can finish this conversation with God and see what he's saying.

Green Featherd Buzzer

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting outside enjoying the shade when out of the blue, a humming bird came to visit my garden. It's not all that often that I get the chance to share my garden with such an unusual bird. What a beautiful bird, Sheldon and I couldn't believe our eye's. In the six years that we've lived here, I've only seen a humming bird three time's. So I freaked out, and tried to get my camera out of the car that I could get a picture. I have to tell you, only thinking about that picture wasted enough time that that little bird could leave without his photo being taken. LOL... That little guy buzzed from blossom to blossom feeding off of the flowers and was gone in the blink of an eye.
So I don't have picture to share with you, but I'm on the lookout, and I will get that picture. I'll just have to work around the yard holding a camera in my hand. hehehe...

But Sheldon and I did get the chance to admire the little bird. Though's green feathers are truly amazing.

Sheldon

So this is the other half of me. My love and best friend.
He has helped find who the true me is. Through many frustrating moments (i'm sure). He holds me when I cry, he prays with me when I'm afraid and he makes me laugh like crazy. I'm so thankful that God has given me Sheldon. He is the bestest friend I could ever have. Only he can stand me every day. LOL...

If you read my comments form my last post, you will understand this next comment. It's amazing what you can do with cameras now- these-days!
