Love Languages

  I heard of this book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I knew I needed to get it and find out my Love Language. I also needed to know Jeremy's Love Language. What do you know we have the same top two Love Languages ( If only we could speak the same dialect) Acts of Service and Physical Touch. I really didn't think the Physical Touch was one of mine because I was never a huggy person or liked being really close to others. Ask my Aunts and Grandparents I never wanted to hug them. LOL I grew up and now really like hugs.

  Things have been rough to say the least since we got married. Between a new born and the Air Force life was crazy from the start. Moving to Alaska was going to be better we thought. Our problems followed us and added another sector in to that relatives living close by. The Lord has got us through some stuff and well continue to grow us closer to him.

   Its hard to believe that things are as good as they are now. From time to time things still come up. The Lord reminds me of what I have and what I can do to make it work. A family that prays together stays together was the theme of my devotional this morning after a confrontational night God knew what I need to hear at just the right time. I look to God at all times because with out him I am nothing. The Lord gives me strength in the storms. I well praise him always.

Finding my voice and being me

Sidney at tolmi state park may 2009 
As I wake up before my girls to start my day right in the word of God I find myself growing, learning and finding my voice in this world. I have conquered a lot of demons in my life. Ones that keep coming back to haunt me. Not any more. With the power of prayer and praise. God well guide me and mold me in to the women he made me to be. Learning to let go of many things that I can not control has been hard but I am at peace with life and those things I can not control. Only God is in control. I hope as I share my story and struggles that others we learn and grow as I have. God is not done with me yet. I well continue to grow and becoming a women of God.

Humble is wisdom

 I am truly blessed to say I am a Technical Sergeant select in the Alaska Air National Guard. My devotional for March 3rd was titled Scientific Selflessness.When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2  
Tech School 2001
 Everything that lead up to the happenings on Saturday were all Gods doing. I was informed of this opportunity to sew on another strip in October. My first thoughts were I have lots to do to get prepared. I started to prepare myself and my resume. I also started to get overwhelmed and scared. How was I going to do this interview process. I have never done it before. With Gods help and letting him work in me. I got though every step of this process.
 I am so thankful for all those who encouraged me and let me know it is OK to humbly share what I do and what I can do. Many people struggle with sharing there talents etc. I for one didn't want to boost or be filled with to much pride.

 Authority makes some people grow- and others just swell. I well use this opportunity and blessing to grow in every way I can. Thank you for all that prayed encouraged and showed me the way. God is so good.

A time for everything

As I sit and read my Bible in the morning It opens up to Ecclesiastes 3 A time for everything. This is one of my moms favorite passages. It is becoming mine too.
