And she is....back!  Hello, again.  I cannot believe its been almost three whole months since I have posted anything.  Good grief..so much has happened since that time.  So many things have changed in my life since March.  You have no idea how much!!!  (Speaking of changes, did you notice that I changed my background on my blog?)

In case you did not know today is Father's Day.  I love this day because it has such a special meaning for me.  I enjoy spending time with my Dad on this day.  I love seeing his smile and hearing him laugh.  Well, I try to enjoy this everyday, actually.  I am so grateful that my Dad is still here.  I appreciate him more the older that I get.  Because he contributed to my craziness!  Ha-ha...Yes, I am my father's daughter.

I wanted to share with you the other reason why I get excited on this day.  About 14 years ago, I sat in a little church in Cincinnati, Ohio and gave my life to Christ.  I won't get into the whole story because that would be way too long.  I was happy, emotional, exhausted and confused.  I wasn't quite sure what was happening to me on that day.  I had a feeling that my life was never going to be the same.  And you better believe that it has not been.  And I am so thankful for this.

This morning, as I sat in church with my parents, many things were racing through my mind.  My mind was full of too many unnecessary things.  As I settled down and listened to the sermon, it all came back to me.  It's no coincidence that their pastor's message had to do with coming back home to God.  I instantly remembered what happened to me 14 years ago.  All of the emotions and feelings came back to me.  It was such a beautiful reminder for me.  It is really what I needed to hear and experience today.  Sometimes we forget all of the mountains that God has brought us over.  We forget about all of the late nights on our knees, praying to him.  We forget about the miracles he did in our lives because we get too busy with our own ways of thinking.  I know I am guilty of this from time to time.

So, what can we do?  Let's start with making him first.  This is the most intimate relationship we could ever have in our lives.  Nothing in this world compares to the time that we spend with God.  NOTHING!  Let's never forget this!
Well, that's my time.  Alright, stick with me people...I've got a lot more to say on the next post!
But for now, to all of the Father's out there....Have a blessed Father's Day with your family!!

Did you notice.... Well, a very big HELLO to all of you.  It seems like it has been so long since I have sat down and written anything on th...
