Me, Betty, Dwyght, Kevin and Lil Kevin

Diane, Betty, Dwyght and Jackie. Betty's daughters. I didn't get a good picture of Betty's sons.

Kevin's Birthday

May 9th Kevin turned 17yrs old. We had a little BarBQue for him because he wanted STEAKS!! They were really good too.


Miracles Still Happen

I was making the cake for Kevin's birthday and I turned around and saw Braeden, who is 2yrs old, had gotten into a bottle of blood pressure medicine. It was in a child proof bottle but I think that those are only adult proof!! I asked him if he had eaten any of it and he said that he had but he didn't like it. I called poison control and they said to get him to the emergency room NOW. We got there and they took us straight back to the doctor. (I have never gotten service that quick before, they were faster than Mc Donalds) WE WERE SO BLESSED!!!!! He took just enough medicine to make him completely cooperative but not enough to hurt him. He drank the charcoal, he let them hook up the EKG, the blood pressure and heart moniter with no problems at all. His stats all remained fine. God was truely with us that day. Here are some pics of the emergency room.

The medicine made him sleepy.

Oh yea to top it all off, Kevin couldn't come to the emergency room because they had a chemical spill at work and they wouldn't let anyone leave.

Nathan's Birthday

April 15th Nathan turned 4 yrs old. He wanted his friend Jonathan to come to his party so we had it at my mom's house.

Another Death

I just received a call; another one of my cousins died this morning. I will post more later.

Please keep the Luman family in your prayers. This makes the fourth Luman to die this year.

I don't know what God is doing but I do know that "..... all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

This Year So Far

It has taken me a while to be able to make this post.

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.
