Guilty

I feel so guilty at this moment. I had signed up in early December to help with the Children's Choir program at my church and tonight was the kick of party. I just can not seem to make myself go. The thought of being around a hundred tiny children is overwhelming. I just don't think that I can be there and not cry. I feel so guilty though because I know that this is for the children and I am putting myself first. I did let the director know that I would love to help make the costumes or decorate for any of the performances, anything that keeps me out of direct contact with the children. Am I making a wrong decision for not being there??

Thank The Lord It's Friday!!

Well after a long hard week I am finally going to kick back my feet and relax. My Hubby comes home tonight from a week away and we are heading to our friends for our weekly Pizza and Beer Night. I just wanted to wish everyone a great weekend!!

Love,
Kacey

2009 Word of the Year!!!

My word for 2009 is HOPE.

HOPE - It seems like such a simple word. Just four tiny letters. But those letters, those small insignifigant letters create one of the most powerful and amazing words that I know.

The definition of HOPE is:

a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life.

Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.

That is amazing to me, Hope is the belief in a positive outcome, I love to believe that all I need is to believe! It is just so simple and easy. Just believe, just have faith. No matter how bad it gets, how far down the latter we fall, even when it seems that there is no chance of a positive outcome or when all of our resourses have been exahusted, we still have something, we still have Hope!

One of my favorite songs is Our Hope Endures ~ by Natalie Grant, It is so powerful. The song talks about suffering and still holding on. It talks about standing your ground when the world around you is crumbling.

Our Hope Endures ~ Natalie Grant

Versus 1 ~
You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?

Chorus ~
But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

How can Hope not be my word this year with all that I have to be hopeful for??

My Hopes for 2009:

To accept what God believes is best for my life!!
To be blessed with pregnancy!!

To have a healthy pregnancy!!
To have healthy baby(ies)!!
To have a most fulfilled and loving marriage!!


Whatever you choose as your word this year. Always remember that it starts with HOPE!!

Love Always, Kacey

Things I Need to Take Care of...

Well Michael headed to Baton Rouge this morning to teach Drug Recognition and Alcohol Recognition Classes at the State Police Training Academy this week. I will be all alone until Friday!!

I decided last night that since I would have the house to myself this weekend, there are a few things that I need to take care of...

Take Down the Stockings...

Put Away the Christmas Presents (finding a place is the problem!!)...

Take Down the Christmas Tree...

And Put Up All of the Other Christmas Decorations (there are so many)...

Not to mention that I still have Christmas Lights up outside!!

Hopefully between my IVF Orientation tomorrow night at 6pm and Bible Study Wednesday night at 6pm I will find time to attack this list of to do's!!

P.S. This does not include the normal house hold chores that I have neglected lately!! Oh well, at least I will not be bored!!

Michael and I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to all of you who have been there for us in the past year and who will be there in the years to come. You help us more than you will ever know!!

We also wanted to wish everyone a

Happy New Year!!

New Year's Eve 2008
