Little Birdy

My little bird elephant died on March 9, 2007 in the wee hours of the morning. I cried and cried and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I loved him.

May you sing your beautiful songs forever little birdy. You were in our lives for a short time, but you truly did make an impact on us. You always had a sweet demeanor. You loved to sing to the heavens. And once, you woke me up while I was asleep in the bathtub ~ even though you normally did not sing at night. For that, I thank you little birdy. I hope you liked it here with our family. May you rest in peace and always know you were loved.

~Sunday Drive~

As I was driving home from Mississippi this weekend, I had a self-realization that ~ loving yourself is not about accepting every part of your "body." That loving yourself is loving your inside ~ your heart. A friend asked me recently if I loved myself ~ I did not have an answer until now. Yes ~ I love my soul.

(This picture is of me playing with my sweet little niece Annie B. I pray that she always loves herself on the inside because her little soul is so, so beautiful.)

The Beauty of Friends

You could search the whole world looking for a friendship like ours, and you would only wear out a good pair of feet. -Bradley Trevor Greive

The faith in our friends grows as each of us helps the other move foward in life.

I feel so blessed by God to have discovered such amazing friends, who accept me as I am~all while motivating me to be the best person I can be, for my awesome faith filled friend Rach, I love you and believe in you girl!

Writings

AS I continue to run, I turn away, I hide my face, I am ashamed. I do not want God to know that once again I have failed. Please leave me alone, I cry. I want nothing to do with you anymore. He is there - but not in my face. When I turn the radio on, even on secular; he is there. When I pick Zaid up from school he is there; he speaks through a teacher. I am in awe. I continue to see a Christian friend that I do not see very often. I know that EVERYTHING HAS to be given to God; not just part. I don't want to. Today-I can do this, God can do this-only if I give up myself to him. I read about children of the light. I ask for forgiveness. I give my heart, Tuesday, January 30-Peace comes to me. I pray ferverntly for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Kites

We flew our kite at the park on Sunday, April 1, 2007. It flew so high!! Zaid did not like for it to fly so high, he wanted it lower.
