Start the year off right

Second day of the year...had an odd phone call this morning that my ex husband had given my phone number on a credit card. Of course, my OCD kicked in and I had to call the CC company to find out what was going on. Turned out he probably didn't give them the number, it came up in a skip trace. Now, I read Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels, so I know what that is...I think. Well, I guess it makes sense since he was arrested for selling drugs last month... Anyway, didn't make anything to eat till 11:30 am, so that was good. Breakfast and lunch in one small meal and I am not hungry. Took my car to have the brakes looked at...I fear it will not be good news. Had a great time doing Karaoke with my friend at her house last night. Playstation is great, we can sing and make fools of ourselves without having to go out in public.

Was just thinking about this cool website my dh found...if you like music, check it out:

Feeling blessed

I was thinking about my perception of my past. When I go to Celebrate Recovery and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life. It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about. Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person. He had some good qualities. He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous. He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better. We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape. We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

Happy Monday! Not quite as cold today - but still fall-like. Left work early today to go to a Dr. appointment - now I have a little extra time to relax before heading to Celebrate Recovery tonight. I will tell you more about this wonderful ministry some other time, but feel free to Google the name to learn more. My husband looked back at some pictures he took this summer when my sister and her husband were visiting. My brother-in-law passed away a couple of week ago, after a battle with cancer. DH cropped down this pic for me - I love it! Have a blessed night! Missy

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting
