January 1st I felt like this year was going to be a break through year for myself and my family. Be careful what you pray for. LOL
January 8th my cousin Ronnie Luman aka Lil Ronnie died. He was my age and we played together every year at our family reunion. I have a lot of memories of us as children. Going to his funeral was very hard. When someone is your age and they die it hits close to home.
February 5th my Granddaddy, Charlie Luman, died. He was my last living grandparent. He touched a lot of people's lives. I did not know this but he is the reason my cousin Roger Dale is a UPC minister today. The Lord was so good to me; I had just made the trip down there for my cousin's funeral so money was tight and all three of our cars were broken; he blessed us with enough money to rent a car and make the trip.
A BLESSING IN THE STORM
March 2nd Kevin got the Holy Ghost!!!!
March 3rd my dad had a heart attack they revived him and put him on life support. We got to stay with him for a week in ICU. The Lord really blessed us.
March 10 they took my dad off life support and a few hours later my daddy, Robert Luman died.
April 15 Nathan turned 4yrs old. WOW how time goes by.
My babies are growing up.
This year so far has been the hardest physically and emotionally but it has also been by far the BEST SPIRITUALLY. They say that during the trials that God is molding you and I truely believe that. God has blessed me this year far more than I could have imagined, and it is just the BEGINNING. There may be more trials but I feel and electicity going through the air and I am excited. Yes, I still have days where I think about my dad a lot and it makes me sad but the Lord said I will send you a comforter and he has. God has been so very good to me and my family.

I'm so sorry for all the things that have happened in your life this year, but I'm rejoicing with you over your spritual victories! Your positive attitude about everything is so refreshing! You and your family are in my prayers. Love you!
Dearest Lynda:
I have checked your blog everday for the last 2 weeks. I knew you would be writing soon. I love the pictures you posted ...all of them.
God has always had his hand on you mightly. You were raised to look at the good things God has given you, even when there are so many disappointments all around you.
There are so many things in life that's so hard to understand. Some things, I don't think we ever will fully understand. People have failed you (and us). One thing that is certain, God never has and he never will.
I am very proud of the woman you have become. So many times you laugh, when you feel like crying.
I believe that God loves us all the same - no matter how much money we make, the label of clothes we wear or how many degrees we have hanging on the wall. There's something built into each of us that wants to be accepted, loved and respected. In the end, all that really matters is that God has his stamp of approval on us. We can, in fact do without the rest.
Say hi to Kevin, little Kevin (don't know when we'll stop calling him that....he's certainly NOT little), and Nathan and Braeden.
I love you so much and I am so happy & blessed to have you in my life.

Sis. Seymour, you have been through a lot and I feel for you. I know the sadness that comes at times like this, but I also know the strength God gives us "through it all". I admire your strength! Love you!
