Happy Birthday Chad!

When we were dating, I played a song for Chad that summed up exactly how I felt about him, how much I loved him and how being with him truly felt like being home. I still feel that way, the feelings have grown even stronger and deeper with each passing year. I'm not normally a Bonnie Raitt fan but one of her songs "Feels Like Home" I found on some random soundtrack shortly after meeting Chad found it's way into my heart, and it still makes my heart burst with love when I hear it and think about Chad. This song still reminds how glad I am to have Chad in my life and how he really does complete me. If you haven't heard it, you should. Happy Birthday sweetheart! I am so grateful that you are mine!

Feels Like Home

Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself in your arms

There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast hope this feeling lasts

The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been and how long I've been so alone

If you knew how I wanted someone to come along and change my life The way you've done

Feels like home to me feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
If you knew how happy you are making me I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Be of Good Courage

I recently downloaded this last conference/church meetings and have been listening to talks on my way back and forth to work and during some lunches. Today while the sun shined I sat in my car and listened to a talk by Sister Ann Dibb given during the Young Women's general broadcast. While I know she was talking specifically to the young women of the church, I knew it was also for me. Granted I know I am not 100, but I feel super old and worn out this week. As I sat in the car she told me things my spirit needed to hear, a gentle daily reminder to be patient...
Her talk was focused around the Youth motto for the year : Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Right before that verse in verse 5 the Lord promises Joshua, “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Sister Dibb said "We can find courage and strength in this promise that the Lord will always be there for us and will never leave us alone. "
Sister Dibb also reminded us that King David said these comforting words: “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry” (Psalm 40:1).
She also said that "No matter what you may face in your personal journey, the first guide found in Joshua reminds us to pray, be patient, and remember God’s promise: “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee” (Joshua 1:5)."
I need to have be patient tattooed on my forehead...

My New Life - Amazing!
