He is coming home today!!!

Oh, I can't wait for him to get here!!! And I know that I will have to restrain myself from grabbing him and hugging him as tightly as possible!!! He texted me yesterday and told me that him and a group of kids went for a 5 mile hike up a mountain with and (and I will use his words) "an awesome old man"...hehe He was a bit upset that he missed the group he wanted to see, 1000 foot crutch, but he was very excited that Jeremy Camp was playing and he would see him. And I was on weather.com and I watched the rain in the area where he was, and I kept praying, "Lord, please don't let it rain on them"...and you should have seen the rain. It was like the parting of the Red Sea, or the rain would go right around them!! It was AWESOME!!! and I was praising God!!!

Well, when he gets home and I get all the details, I will surely pass them along!!!

Blessings to you,
Ronnie!!

Thursday's update

Well, Coty called last night and he is having a blast!! He told me that he has taken alot of pictures, and he may have to go through them and delete some of the ones that aren't so great, so that he can have more room. I am praising God for protecting him and being with him, He is so faithful!!! I will update again, but for now I know that he is having a great time!!!


As for me, I am having a yard sale, but right now it is on pause. There are some rain showers coming through the area, and I have everything covered up. But while I am not outside, I am cleaning up in the house, which is good for me. I haven't done too well this morning, but the showers should be gone in about a half an hour or so, and I will be back outside.

Well, I have to run right now, I will give you an update when I can...


Blessings,
Ronnie

He's there!!!

Coty arrived at Creation about an hour early, Praise Jesus!!! We were texting back and forth the whole way up there, and he was telling me how beautiful the trees and mountains were. And he also told me that he took alot of pictures, so I will have bunches to show when he gets home.

I just wanted to give you a quick update!!! I am so happy that he arrived safely!!! Thanks for your prayers!!

Blessings,
Ronnie

Asking for prayers

I am asking for prayers for my son Coty, he is going to Creation, and if you could pray for his safety, I would greatly appreciate it!!! He is so excited to go, and I am excited for him to go. I told him to save his cell phone for only texting, so that he can save his battery...hehe

He is leaving Wednesday morning and will be back Sunday afternoon, and he is going with the youth group at Church. I pray the Lord will be with him, and touch his heart and brings him closer to the Lord!!


Thanks for reading and I will be updating about Coty's experience, as soon as he tells me!!!

Blessings to you!!

Got some great news!!!!

It has been over 12 days since my last cigarette, and I really have no urge to smoke at all!!! Hubby and I have been using Chantix, and it is great!! I have quit before, but not like this, I truly have no urge to smoke another cigarette, and it is AWESOME!! Don't get wrong, it was reallllllllly hard in the beginning, but with an enormous amount of prayer and willpower, I have not smoked for 12 days!! The biggest thing for me to do is to be constantly doing something, because if I sat still, I wanted a cigarette. Hubby and I decided to start this when we went down the ocean for our vacation, and it worked great!!! We both have stopped. The decision, besides truly wanting to quit, was it was getting down to the point where we had to decide whether to buy cigarettes or to buy gas. And at that point, I knew that we really needed to stop, and we have.

Hubby and I have noticed a difference in our life without smoking, and we both have probably put on a few pounds, but I would much rather put on a few pounds then to continue smoking. And since we have quit smoking, things don't taste or smell the same as before. So I don't know if that is a good or bad thing...hehe

Well, I had to give the great news to ya!!! And I should be back to posting regularly after today!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had to share this with you today, you have probably seen this one before, but I love it!!! Have an awesome day!!!
