Pretty Woman

I love blogging, I didn't think I would and was nervous about it at first. Marisela told me I should start but I didn't think it would be fun. I love it, it's kinda theraputic. I am at my brother Bobby's this weekend, and I am so excited. Heather was DRIVING tonight. If you don't know them you should know they were in a head on collision in February. Heather was told she would never walk again, but she's doing that also, she does use a walker but oh my the power of the lord is great. Tonight as they drove up the Long John's I almost cried, and for people that don't know me, I almost never cry.
Anyway, as I set here tonight I counted my blessings. And a couple of other peoples. God is so good to us. I know a lot of times I look at only the bad, But I need to center on the good and maybe the bad things in my life won't seem so bad. I thought tonight about my kids and how they are so very healthy right now, and that's such a blessing. Also how we have Billy J living with us and how that came about and we really thought this would never work out, but now that he's here he's interested in the faith and hasn't missed a meeting in 5 months, even when we don't go he does. But mostly I was thankful for my family. I thought about how all 3 of my brothers have wonderful wives, they take very good care of my brothers and they really fit into our family. It really feels like they've always been there and have always been my sisters. I was also thankful for Sister Betha, she hasn't had to have someone stay up with her for a little over a week and that is awesome. Also with Bobby and Heather, they could have been killed and they are up and about again.
I really want to tell you about my step-son. He was raised almost solely by his mother and we had no contact for over 6 years. In February of this year we were thinking about moving to Wichita Kansas, I really didn't want to go, and I prayed god would show us if we weren't supposed to go and help us get in contact with BJ. I had tried over the years to find him and had found it impossible, I had searched numerous times and he was not findable. Anyway, about 3 hours after praying that the phone rings and BJ asks, "hey Barbara can I talk to my dad?". He had found our number from directory assistance. It was so awesome I almost cried. Billy talked to him a while and then he decided to come see us. Anyway he had a horrible childhood and lived through some terrible things. But he never has a bad attitude, he helps me around the house, and with the kids. He helps me cook, and he helps his dad. He never uses bad language, and he's interested in the faith. I couldn't ask for any more where he's concerned. He's such a good kid. And I am thankful.
Well I think I've bended and ear or a keybord something anyway. And it's late so until next time........................................................................................................
