Discouraged!

I have been tying really hard to loose weight and get in better shape.  The getting in shape part is going well but the loosing weight seems hopeless.  For weeks I have been stuck at the same weight.  For all the work and counting calories I've been doing I expect more results.  Maybe some day!

Life

Well its been a while since I posted.  Life is good!  I have the most amazing children!  They bring so much joy to my life.  They have chosen wonderful partners and have produced the most amazing children.  being a grandmother is the reward for making it through the teenage years.

Justin is an amazing computer programer and his wife Amanda has a wonderful way with words,  Charity is so talented and intelligent, Everett tells the best jokes and his amile lights up the room and Jacob love to copy every little thing his siblings do, he watches them carefully.

Stephanie is so talented with hair and pretty much everything she touches and her husband Sal is such a blessing in her life, besides being an amazing cook and strong will power.  Isaak has great comedic timing and can keep you laughing for hours, Makai is a busy body and loves to explore everything and the new baby when she arrives is going to fit right in to their little family and bring so much love to their lives.

Whitney is so artistic and creative and a great mother and her husband Matthew has such a zest for life and all it comprises.  Juniper is the most anazing girly girl ant the most beautiful red head I have ever seen.

What more can I say?  I have it good!!

We are all beautiful!!

Days will come when you don't have the strength


When all you hear is you're not worth anything

Wondering if you ever could be loved

And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much



You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful



And praying that you have the heart to find

Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight

For all the lies you've held inside so long

And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross



You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful



Before you ever took a breath

Long before the world began

Of all the wonders He possessed

There was one more precious

Of all the earth and skies above

You're the one He madly loves enough to die



You're beautiful

You're beautiful

In His eyes



You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

What Faith Can Do!

Everybody falls sometimes


Gotta find the strength to rise

From the ashes and make a new beginning

Anyone can feel the ache

You think it’s more than you can take

But you are stronger, stronger than you know

Don’t you give up now

The sun will soon be shining

You gotta face the clouds

To find the silver lining



I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn’t ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I’ve seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That’s what faith can do



It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard

Impossible is not a word

It’s just a reason for someone not to try

Everybody’s scared to death

When they decide to take that step

Out on the water

It’ll be alright

Life is so much more

Than what your eyes are seeing

You will find your way

If you keep believing



I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn’t ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I’ve seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That’s what faith can do



Overcome the odds

You do have a chance

(That’s what faith can do)

When the world says you can’t

It’ll tell you that you can!



I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn’t ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I’ve seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That’s what faith can do

That's what faith can do!

Even if you fall sometimes

You will have the strength to rise

Come to Jesus

Some of my favorite lyrics!! Thanks Chris Rice!! Weak and wounded sinner,


Lost and left to die, O, raise your head for Love is passing by Come to Jesus,

Come to Jesus,Come to Jesus and live Now your burden's lifted,

And carried far away, And precious blood has washed away the stain... so

Sing to Jesus ,Sing to Jesus ,Sing to Jesus and liveAnd like a newborn baby,

Don't be afraid to crawl,And remember when you walk sometimes we fall... so

Fall on Jesus,Fall on Jesus, Fall on Jesus and liveSometimes the way is lonely,

And steep and filled with pain,So if your sky is dark and pours the rain... then

Cry to Jesus,Cry to Jesus,Cry to Jesus and live

O, and when the love splills over,And music fills the night,

And when you can't contain you joy inside... thenDance for Jesus,

Dance for Jesus,Dance for Jesus and liveAnd with your final heartbeat,

Kiss the world goodbye,Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side... and

Fly to Jesus,Fly to Jesus,Fly to Jesus and liveFly to Jesus,Fly to Jesus,

Fly to Jesus and live

Fall Post

Well here it goes.  My update...
I have started to play with the New Horizons Orchestra again this fall.  I really love playing my viola.  Just wish I could afford one that has a better sound.  I'm the choir manager for the Wasatch Chorale.  Right now I'm singing 2nd Soprano but I'm trying to work my way back to alto.  I auditioned for some solo parts for our up coming concert on the 28th in the Covey Performing Arts Center, I don't know if I got the part yet.  I will be singing with a small group of women on one of the songs.

I've started my spring cleaning.  I guess you could say early, please!  I have a lot of stuff going to DI  Yeah!!  I did some fall arrangements for a stake RS meeting for the general womens conference and liked them so much I made one for me.  I took it to church last week and got lots of compliments.  I've also dome 3 weedings.  Small ones thank goodness.

I took a day trip with some of my single friends (Demion) to Huntsville.  We had some really good Texas BBQ.  Real Texans cooked it and everything.  Brought back good food memories.  We have also had some Texas sized thunderstoms lately.  MY FAVORITE!!!

I have been really busy at work.  So not much has changed there.  I love my job!!!  I'm so greatful for my job.  Between work and babysitting grandchildren I also have been kareokeing alot.  Not as much as before because we are going to some of the single dances again.  Not much has changed at those.

Life

Life keeps changing!  Justin just moved to Austin and took my daughter amanda and my 3 grandchildren.  I think he deserves a big spanking for that.  I miss them so much!  I'm glad he has found his dream job though. Love you all so much!!
