I will "Walk by Faith,even when I can not see" I hear this song even when it's not being played..."Trust In the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him" ...is a verse that reminds me that by trusting God...I am giving HIM all control;even with out understanding what that might mean....which brings us back to "Walking by Faith" ...Amazing Grace is a song;that as a child I thought was sang just about me for me...Well that's far from true..."Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wrench like me,I was lost but now and found was blind but now I see.....oh Amazing Grace,so Amazing"I am NOT Amazing Grace...but continue to be Amazed by The Grace of God in my life and my hope is for you to see and watch my life and maybe even find the Faith,Trust and Grace that Only God can give you!
Saved by Grace(NO not me Grace)-through Faith in Christ Jesus!!Wife to Joe;Mom of 4 miracles,a mom that has been gifted with special needs children,Home School teacher of 2,Advocate to ALL,friend to many...I have ADHD....and dyslexia....and have
learned through my challenges, that all my strength and growth has & does come from God....
I think I better understand my kids and their challenges because of my challenges!
When I was younger I hated to read....because it was so difficult for me ...now it is one of my favorite things to do....medication to treat my ADHD, has been a great tool for me.... but it's not a cure all!
I love and appreciate my husband Joe; who I have been with since I was 16yrs old....Through the years we have learned SO many things...one thing is that we are a team...even if we don't always like what one another may say....we are still a unit(team) and need to stick together...We put God first then each other!
We love unconditionally; the way Christ loves us!!
My life may have it's challenges, I'm glad God trusted me with them....God has blessed me:)
Hey Grace! I came across this poem and thought of you...Hope you enjoy it!

One Flaw In Women
Author Unknown
By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
However, If There Is One Flaw In Women,
It Is That They Forget Their Worth.
Thank you for thinking of me....you are very kind, a beautiful poem indeed!
