1. I was once voted Girl Of The Year at the church I was attending. It was a fundraiser for our new building. Every dollar counted as one vote. I didn't even realize that it was going on. What a shock it was when they announced my name. I didn't have any family there except for my sister so it made me feel good that someone else likes me besides my family. LOL
2.I took a picture of my husband at camp five years before I ever met him. I was taking a picture of his best friend for my friend and he just happened to be in the picture. Right after we got married we were looking through my pictures and he says hey that's me. It was really neat.
3. I had three different sunday school teachers at three different times( when I was 10 yrs 13 yrs and 16 yrs old) tell me I was going to marry a preacher. I told each one of them they were crazy. Apparently I was the one that was crazy because I did. I am so glad that I did because I got the best husband in the world.
4.I have a heavy foot. I can not help but speed. Why do they make cars that will go 100 if we are not allowed to test it out. I have gotten so many tickets that I could be a ticket attorney. I know almost every way to get out of a ticket. A little advice anything over 95 don't even try there is nothing you can do. Anything else you can pretty much keep it off your record. However, my husband has been good for me because I have not gotten a speeding ticket in 4 years. He is anti-speed.
5. I never took Alg. 2 or Govt. in high school. I wanted to get out of high school as quickly as I could so I took credit by exams from Texas Tech. I completed high school in three years. I have no idea why I was in such a hurry.
Now I tag the most interesting person that I know my husband Kevin Seymour and someone I just met Sis Stephanie.

Easy believism isn't easy
Let Go and Let God
Easier said when it is someone else's problem
Not easily done when it is your own
(My favorite verse)
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not;I will help thee
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not;I will help thee
Isaiah 41:13

Kids are Cute
I am no different from every other mom in the world. I think my kids are simply adorable. So I am posting to share some of the cute things they do and to hear about some of the cute things your kids/grand kids do. I know I will think of more but hear is a few.
1.Neither one of my children call me momma. Nathan calls me Mom Mom and Braeden calls me MeMe. I have no idea why.
2.Braeden is so hot natured he will sit by the back door and play so he can feel the breeze coming through.
3.Every night after supper Nathan will say "Thank you for supper mom mom."
4. Nathan said something cute one time and Kevin asked him where he got that and he said Wal-Mart.
5. Nathan just hurt his head and Braeden started holding his own head and crying.

Just a few thoughts
1st thought
I love to help people, but sometimes I wonder if their intentions are pure, do they really want help (to change) or am I just wasting my time.
For example, a couple of years ago I was saving money for a new dress. We had a new convert in our church and she didn't have any church clothes so I took my new dress money and bought her one instead. A few months later she backslid and I never saw her again. That got me to thinking how do you know who to help and who not to help. A few months ago I got my answer.
On the radio I heard someone say "Kill them all and let God sort them out" WOW what a statement! And then it hit me BLESS THEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT.
It is not my decision who should get help and who shouldn't. It is God's. So the next time God gives me the privilege of helping someone I will not fret over intentions or anything else. I will just pray a little harder for that person and thank God for choosing me.
2nd thought
I hear a lot of women saying how they wish they could be young again. NOT ME I wanna be a grandma. I love my kids but they are a lot of work. I think grandparents have it easy. They get to buy all the presents play with the kids and go home and take nap. I want to be a napping grandma. However, I understand the importance of my influence on my children now. If we put the right things into them now when they are adults we can enjoy our grandchildren instead of worrying about our children. I am sure that that theory has been proven wrong several times but that is the game plan in our house.

Laughter Bonds
Tonight, as we were checking out of Wal-Mart, something happened that I thought was funny and I could not stop laughing. The lady checking us out thought my laughter was funny so she started laughing. When I went to get my grocery bag she gave me a quick one arm hug. Why would a complete stranger give me a hug? Laughter Bonds!
Last month at Mom's night I talked and laughed with a few ladies and now I consider them friends. New friends but who knows we may become old friends. The good kind.
Anyways, final thought. What a witnessing tool. LAUGHTER!

Quote of the Day
Before a child can say kindness, he can understand the forgiving smile on his mother's face; before he can spell God, he can sense his mother's anxiety dissipate as she talks to Someone he cannot even see. Before he can understand the concept of love, he can snuggle near his mother's heart, closed in tight to the solid security of belonging. -Jill Briscoe

It is a miracle
Nathan and Braeden took a nap in there own beds all by themselves without me rocking either one of them. I just put them in the bed said their prayers and walked out. Five minutes later they were a sleep. That has NEVER NEVER happened!!! Praise the Lord!!
