God's Way is ALWAYS the Best!

Just when you think God has answered your prayers and things seem to be going ok, God puts a twist in it and it is better than you had prayed for. I thought God had answered my prayers and it seemed it was the way I wanted them to go. But God had His way and His way is always better! Thank you God for taking charge and forgive me for not letting you have total control of my life.

I've not posted much since the new year. I was out of town at a meeting for a week. It was nice to get away even if it was with work. Saw old friends and that is always fun, like a girls getaway! The weather here in Texas has been cold, dreary and rainy. I'm having a slumber party with my little girls Friday night, can't wait!!!

BAH HUMBUG!

After being off work for 2 weeks really made it difficult going back to work Monday. I've moaned and groaned all week. I am thankful I have a job though! I loved having that time to spend time with the grandaughters and just relax time. We finally took the decorations down New Years Day. Now we are having very very cold weather! Below is a recap of the things I loved about Christmas this year!
