Let Go and Let Love

'Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth, "You owe me."
Look what happens with a Love like that!
—It lights the whole Sky.'

Love is amazing, it brings Joy, pleasure and delight! It is magnificent! It opens our eyes to truth and it even prolongs our lives!

Love is healing and restoring for both the giver and the receiver. Why would you choose to hate or choose to hold resentment? Unforgiveness is an acid which first destroys the vessel in which it is contained... that vessell is you! Are you holding unforgiveness in your heart? Do you have hatred toward someone? If so just think: You are destroying yourself, that acid is burning away at you, not the person you hate. Choose to forgive, and choose to love, love brings true life.

'I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.' MLKJ

We are called to love people as Christ loves us!

Loving and being loved is the greatest gift that can be given or received!

My Love for Madilynn is so great, yet she doesn't even know it, and even if she did she wouldn't be able to fathom it, yet it brings so much joy to me just to be able to love her. A mothers love is amazing. I never really understood what an unconditional love was like until I gave birth to my daughter, God revealed to me some amazing things through her life. Now I have a better understanding of Gods love for us and it blows my mind.

She is just too cute! She loves taking her baths, every time she gets into the bath tub now she grabs those two toothrushes and plays with them, she prefers them over all of her other toys :)

A veryy Happy Valentines day

To Tamrah and Cory.


Tamrah Came over for Boundaries and she was the only gal who showed up, so we decided to have some fun with my cricut and make Cory the gift that Tamrah had been planning for Him. I had a fabulous idea to cut a cute box with some adorable personalized tags, all of which were cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. We tucked the little 'Coupons' inside the adorable box. They were made especially for Cory from Tamrah.

It turned out fabulous and Tamrah left with a big smile on her face, I was smiling as she left too... What a fabulous Day that I had!
They are planning on spending the day together as a family with their two little guys Avery and Parker. I looove that family, they are amazing :)

(Yes, they are the Photographers who have taken all of the amazing pics of Madi!)

A little birthday gift to myself

I decided that one night wouldn't hurt. So i slept with Madi in my bed last night. I so desperately miss my little innocent, dependant baby who used to cuddle with me. She is so independent now, and although I let her be independent, there are times when she still likes to be close and cuddle next to me though they are few and far between. Among those times are when she is sleeping. So last night was fabulous to snuggle up to her all night, although my sleep probably wasn't as quality as usual, leaving me very tired today, it was great, and started off a wonderful birthday!

I am going out with a bunch of my girlfriends from church, who are all so dear to me. I love them so much! They truly bless me so much more than they know. Emarie and Loni were so sweet to set up a little 'Party' for me. We are going to Kincaids in downtown Saint Paul from 4-6pm for apps and drinks, then heading to my place from 6-9pm, I can't wait! I cannot think of another way that I would want to spend my birthday than in the company of great friends and Family, I wish all my friends and Family could come!

Thanks for all of the wonderful wishes everyone.
Much Love

Amazing Love

Tuesday is the court hearing, and after getting all of the papers from Dans lawyer on Thursday, I must say, I was feeling quite overwhelmed... His papers said many things that I feel were stretching the truth or just down right not true! I can tell you one thing for sure, my church is NOT 'cultish'! I was feeling so overwhelmed, he is requesting 50/50 custody as well as requesting child support!

After work I called Bev, and we prayed, I desperately wanted to feel Gods peace, because I know that ultimately, no matter what happens, he is in control! I know that no matter what happens he will work all things out. I feel comforted knowing that my life is in his hands.

What a busy weekend... One filled with Love and laughter, with family and friends.

Jessica was soo thankful for the shower that I threw her on Saturday, and it really was a ton of fun, hanging out and visiting with all of my girlfriends! It made me feel good when everyone there told me what a wonderful job I did, I really do love throwing a party, but who doesn't??

Saturday night Naomi and Molly spent the night, it was a wonder-full time of connecting. I felt like a young girl again when we all 3 slept in my king size bed and giggled at each others stories, it was very refreshing.

I missed Madi so much, there wasn't a second of the day that she wasn't on my mind!

Sunday was great too, I met with Meredith for lunch, poor girl her cornea in her eye is eroding and it is causing her quite a bit of pain!

Sunday night was amazing, I was able to pick up Madi then go to The Annual Vineyard Family Christmas. The kids were, as usual, hilarious in the Christmas play. The talent show was amazing, so many people are talented, I had no idea!!

All throughout the weekend I was reminded of all of the people in my life who love and support me, I am so thankful for all that God has given me :)
