  • GOOD NEWS

    Sorry it has taken a few days to update.  Needed a few days to get a reality check an to start to LIVE AGAIN.  Yes live again, after almost three years my son is free.  All of the charges against him were either acquitted or he was found NOT GUILITY, except for one.. Which we can live with.  The God we serve is an awesome God and IS in control.  However those two days I will never forget...  They were heart wrenching, and heartbreaking for all involved.  From the victims family, to the witnesses (who at the time of the accident were just teens themselves) and for my son.  Words will never be able to describe the feeling nor emotion of those two days.  I thank each of you who have been praying for my son and my family through this situation.  May God  bless each and every one of you.

    TRIAL DATES

    Good morning Just a reminder for those who are praying for my son.  The dates for his trial are 2nd, 3rd and maybe the 4th of Sept.  Please pray for all those involved in  the situtation,  including the victims family.   Pray for the jurors that feelings and emotions will not interfere with facts as the case is being presented.  My daughter and I (as stated in the movie "Facing the Giants")  are preparing for rain.  God is in control.  But we do ask for you continued prayer, that God's precense may be felt in our daily lives over the next week or so  as well as in that courtroom.  Thank You to those who have covered us so far in prayer.

  • PLEASE REMEMBER

    My dear Xanga readers please pray tomorrow, as jury selection for my son's trial begins.  Days have been in a blur.  Sun nite was especially hard I was really down and teary all day then at night when my girls were sleeping I let the tears flow, only to have my son hear me.  But being the man he is he comforted me and asked me not to worry about him.  I cant not worry about him even though he now towers over me.  But he said we will be ok. Thank you to those who have been praying.

  • Please Pray

     It is 5am not too bad only been up since 3am this morning.  Most nites as of late has been no sleep at all,but when your sons life will be decided by 7 strangers you will tend to lose some sleep.  Yes as stated in my last entry, we are going to trial with the charges against my son.  I knew it was coming but know that it is here the feeling is undescribable.I have felt everything from angrer  to fear to helplessness over the past three years.I myself have lived through trials and nightmares, but it was me, I was ok, but this is my son and I am having a really hard time with it  There are days I am okay with it, thinking I gave it over to my Sovereign Lord and am at peace.  Then there are days I just grab it back and feel I can take care of my son better then the Great I Am.  How foolish we meager humans can be at times.  But as a mother it is still heartache.  As I read over all the sites with young children and babies, I remember how I felt I was the protector of my young children when you can just take them in your arms and shelter them and keep them safe.  I can no longer do that and need to leave the sheltering up to Christ.  Yet as I am typing this and telling myself this the human side is there and the thought of my son spending time in prison is heartwrentching and unbearable  From a mothers heartfelt plea my son is a quiet , sensitive, who at 20yrs old is still not ashamed to give me a kiss in public.  He is not prison material.  My heartfelt prayer is that he is found inocent of the charges against him but if found guilty no prison time must be served.  The jury selection is set for 27Aug to 29Aug and trial dates are 2Sept till 5Sept.  The few suscribers that I have please remember my son in your prayers and please add him to any prayer lines your church may have or anyone who would be willing to pray for him and the situation, the jurors and judge.  His name is Joe.

    I leave you with a few photos of the local Cruise Night I spent with my son and my girls.

  • Life the Past Three Years

      Summer is here finally time for a long overdue update..  Thought I would review the past three years if I have any new subscribers, and to update those who may be praying.  I thought I would attempt to post a few pictures and and go from there.

     

    My life was finally getting back to normal after 31/2 years of separation from my husband.  We were back together and trying to heal our marriage.  Then on Dec 29 2005 my son Joe was in a car accident.  Only by God's grace and protection did he and his girlfriend survive.  A day does not go by that I do not thank the Lord for sparing his life.  However the man in the car my son hit head on  (not by his fault) died.  Therfore my son was charged with a mountain of charges that could put him in prison for up to 15yrs.  (we are still battling courts)..My son is out on bail.

    We made it through to prom and graduation, which were two wonderful events.  I was a very proud mother.

    And Graduation!!!!!

    We continued on as best we could reaching to God continually for strength and asking for prayer from many of our faithful prayer warriors.  My son has been working and waiting to actually get on with his life.

    Last summer I was able to go on a mission trip to the Ukraine, I struggled whetehr to go or not but decided it would be good.  Iwas so blessed my going and hope to go back one day soon.

    Oct of 2007 my husband has decided to leave again I am once again a single parent.  As of May of this year we were informed from our attorney that come the fall we will most likely need to go to trial, for my son's case.  Afew months ago I once again gave everything up to the Lord, because I know only he can handle this.  I can not.  My faith does waver at times but I try to remember God is in control.  Now if I may I will leave you all with just some random pictures of my family.  I will try to keep updating  more often.
