Torn!!!

I'm so torn up deciding to sell my house, as I clean the clutter that has built up over the last 3 years of living 1 mile from my church (one of the main reason's I bought it). I struggle to know if God want's us to stay here, or move. Ovously the finances I make in the summer will tell if I've even financially able to stay here or not. And this fall I'm going back to school to re-earn my EMT liscense, then I have to wait until the following fall to earn my Paramedic license, so I won't be able to get a decent job until 2 years from now!!!!! I have an ARM on my mortgage that hit's it's point in May of 2010, so I have to re-fiance before then, or I for sure won't be able to make the payments!!! Money money, where does it all come from.. the Lord has brought in enough for us to stay here, and I have not been late with any payments so far, and I pray that he blesses this summer, I'm signed up for 4 shows, hopefully I'm going to do another one in New Hampshire, a few hours from my best friend who lives in Boston, so I'll go spend a few weeks visiting her after that show. I'm going to start setting up my Jewelry in my garage and do "garage type" jewelry sales, so hopefully that will bring in some extra $$$$ until June when my shows start!!!

Thanks for checking up on us, and God Bless you today, for he has surely blessed me, more than I can imagine!!!

Plan B

Ok.. so the job situation did not work out, I'm on to Plan B.. I'm putting my house up for sale!!! I've thought about/ prayed about this for a few months now, and I think it's the right thing to do.. as my mortgage payment is way to high, and I could rent something just as nice, or nicer for about 1/2 of what I'm paying now!!! So I have given myself a 2 week deadline to paint and clean up all the clutter that having 4 children accumulates and put my house up for sale BY OWNER..so if you know of anyone in Waterford looking for a nice 4 bedroom, 2 bath have them give me a call!!

And please pray that the Lord will bring a buyer before June, that way I won't have to make house payments for 3 months, because we'll be on the road for my business!!

Thanks for checking out my blog, and thank you for your prayers!!

Love, Shanda :)

Happy Spring/Easter Everyone

Hello, Happy Spring & Easter to everyone!! It's freezing here in MI today, and we still have snow on the ground, but hopefully it will warm up soon, my children have cabin fever, Tristan asked me the other day "When do we get to go on bike rides again?" and I am like soon.. soon.. Spring will be here!!
The celebration of the death/ burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus is this weekend, I pray that you, reading this have a personal relationship with him, as that is the ONLY way you can go to heaven when you die, is through Christ. Thank God for him, dying on the cross for my sins, so I could have eternity in heaven. Our lives here are so short, time flies by so very fast, we are here only for a moment, and then we are gone, with an eternity to live, will you choose Christ today? I hope so, and I hope you and your family are blessed with the newness of this year coming up!

God Bless You,

This is one video you have to see. The song comes from the Broadway play "Rent", and although I can not recommend the play, this one piece of it is a gem. The setting for the song is an AIDS support group. From what I've read, the idea for the song came from an HIV support meeting a few years ago where a man stood up and said, "I'm not afraid of dying -- I'm ready for that. I just want to know this: Will I lose my dignity?" This song hit me pretty hard, as many days I wondered if cancer was going to take my life, I would have to leave my children, which truly broke my heart in two. When you listen to this song, think of all the children that are orphans in Africa, or even here in the USA because of AIDS!!! I had all my children listen to this song, while closing their eyes, and then I asked them what did you hear, and my daughter said "They are singing about dying, arent they" and I said Yes, and I explained the best I could as a Christian mom about the diseases AIDS and HIV, and how many people die from them each year, I hope this song touches you as it did to me!! Blessings :) Shanda ;)
