Family that prays together, stays together....





I've been kinda down in the dumps lately, So my mother In Law said that she listens to K-Love on her Laptop through out the day and it keeps her going....So I tried it out starting last night...I love the songs they play. They are all very much my style of worship music....I turned it on from my laptop and layed down in bed. Jeremy layed in my arm and fell asleep (as usual) and then I just closed my eyes to relax and began to just pray. For him, for me, for us as a couple, Our family and friends, everyone and anything I thought of to pray for. Of course then I began to cry, I don't really know why, I guess I was just touched but the music and talking with God. I used to pray all the time but somewhere along the way I lost sight of all that is important in this world. And that is that without God we are nothing and although non of us are perfect we should consistently be trying as hard as we can to live for him and yearn to be more like him everyday. Sometimes its hard to trust God and live for him and continuity thank him for everything in your life. But thats what we have to do, we have to thank him thru the good and even through the bad because even if we can see it right then, or understand why, it doest matter because there is a reason why we are being put in that situation. Because God knows what is going to happen before it even is a thought in our minds and he has a plan. Right now I just pray that God shows me what my plan is. What is it that he wants me to do in my life. I am trying really hard to get back to where I used to be with God. Because he never left me I left him and I believe he has been waiting for me to come back to him all this time. So God I am listening, Tell me what it is you want of me and I will listen. You are an amazing God and you do amazing things in so many peoples lives. Every time I breath I want it to be you that I breath. This song just came on K-Love and it touched me. I hope you enjoy it and it blesses you too.

Big Daddy Weave - Every Time I Breathe
From the album Every Time I Breathe

I am sure all of heaven�s heard me cry
As I tell You all the reasons why
This life is just too hard

But day by day
Without fail
I�m finding everything I need
And everything that You are
To me

Chorus:
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never want to leave
I want to stay in Your warm embrace
Oh basking in the glory shining from Your face
And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart
I realize it�s true
That You are so marvelous God
And I am so in love with You

Now how could I after knowing One so great
Respond to You in any way
That�s less than all I have to give
But by Your grace I want to love You not with what
I say
But everyday
In a way that my life is lived

Chorus:

Wrapped in Your mercy I want to live and never leave
I am held by how humble
Yet overwhelmed by Your majesty
Captured by grace and now I�m finding
I am free
You are marvelous God
And knowing You is everything

Chorus:

Who's in charge around here?? Doggy Power!!

















Me and Jeremy are like old people already,
We do the same thing every night before bed. We get in our jammies, shower, brush teeth and get ready for bed, then we hop in a snuggle in. Then is the compromise part. Jeremy likes to sleep with the TV on which I don't mind for awhile because it helps me relax get sleepy and settle in, But after awhile I don't care to hear the TV talking all night while I am trying to sleep. I have a sound machine and I love to play the ocean while I sleep (which Jeremy has learned to like too) But he still wants to fall asleep to TV. So we play the TV and then when he starts to fall asleep I gradually turn the volume down less and less and my sound machine UP....But I do actually like the flash of the TV. Anyways back to my point which is basically the TV stays on all night every night so were all just kinda used to it. Well I'll start by saying this....MY DOG IS SPOILED ROTTEN.....Of course I take FULL responsibly.

I was laying in bed when there it was, the cold nose nudge on my arm from Rocky wanting to go out for his morning bathroom break if you will... This was about 7:15am. So I turned off the TV put on my shoes and jacket then we went out he did his business and then we came in. Of course we got back in bed with Jeremy, hoping I could sleep a little more before starting the day but for some reason rocky would not settle back in, so I thought well what in the world he always lays back down and sleeps. I thought maybe he needed to go back out again so I asked if he needed to go out and he didn't wanna go. So I said well lay down then...But he kept pacing by the bed then he stated whimpering at my nightstand. I had some water by me from the night (always have water by me) so I thought well maybe he needs water in his bowl or he ate all his food in his dish and wants more. So up I went to check the bowls and they were plenty full. I was clueless to what he could want now, He had been out he had food he had water so I didn't know what he needed.I even tried to give him all his toys... I petted his head and talked to him and was asking him what is it boy what do you want? Then he looked at my nightstand looked at me looked at my nightstand looked at me and I was like what what is? I kept picking things up on the nightstand and say this you want this? FINALLY I picked up the remote to the TV and said this ? is this what you want ? and sure enough he started barking like crazy and licked my hand So I turned on the TV and turned on some cartoon and to my surprise he jumped up on the bed layed at my feet and fell asleep. I was just shocked that all of that just to put the TV back on so he could go back to sleep. INSANE DOG... I guess like father like son. Does that apply for animals too?? LOL What a morning Needless to say I was up already for the day. So I just layed there thinking what have a gotten myself into. Cant live with um' and you cant live without um'. Thought I would share my morning!! Have a nice day and love your animals!! They always love you no matter what!!

My Name is Heather, and you are?


















I decided to make a blog because my mother in law has one and she inspired me to have one too.

My name is Heather. I live in Cary with my husband Jeremy. He is the love of my life, the other half that makes me whole. I am thankful that God has placed him in my life to love and be loved. We have a beautiful puppy that we adopted a little over a month ago. His name is Rocky! Its crazy how you can fall so in love with an animal and on your worse day they can make you feel so much better. My husband works in the IT field. He is very smart. He also enjoys singing and playing music, and we enjoy doing that together. I am a licensed Hair Stylist. I am currently doing hair from home. In fact my salon chair just got here today and will be used tomorrow!! I also enjoy making jewelry, taking lots of pictures and also writing lyrics or poetry. My life is pretty simple but I like it that way. Drama free. I have a husband and family that loves me and more important a God that loves me no matter what. So I guess thats a little about me and I am sure you will learn more.












Well I guess thats an ok way to start a blog. I guess theres no wrong or right way to do it. You just talk right?
