I have really enjoyed this tag because when I followed the rules and got to the 4th folder and picked out the 4th picture it was a very special one. This picture was taken the day of my baby girl Anna Maire's Baptism. This is a picture of Bro. Webb Armstrong and Anna on January 28, 2007. A very special day in our lives. Bro. Webb and Louise will always have a very special place in the heart of my family. This picture brings back a lot of good memories for me. Thank you, LEON for the tag!

Dixie National Rodeo

Yesterday was a great family day! Everyone knows when the Dixie National Rodeo is going on you become a "Real" cowboy!






































Yes, I said a "Real" cowboy....Noah William had been wanting to go to the RODEO all week, so I surprised him and his sister with tickets for Sundays 3:00 pm show. It was worth it all watching my baby boy be a "Real" cowboy. (Ha!Ha!) He had a ball.

We played hookie from church to enjoy a family day. (I think the Lord would not have minded) I guess I should back up to Saturday. Noah wanted some new boots, boots like Thomas Patrick, you know green John Deer and nothing but! So we got up early Saturday morning to go to town to find some GREEN John Deer boots, and we did. He has not had them off sents we got them.

We let the kids sleep late Sunday and then off the Jackson we went. We were going to eat a light lunch in Brookhaven and after the Rodeo we were going to eat supper. When we got to Brookhaven the lights were out and NO fast food, so on we went. We got as far as Byram and stop to eat a the Backyard Burger for lunch, which Noah loved because it had a inside play ground, but the GREEN John Deer boots had to come off to play. He made the sacrifice! After lunch it was on to the Rodeo!

When we arrived I went straight to the box office to get our tickets, after talking to a machine I was a little scared of where we would be sitting. We had great seats! Noah's eye were big as coins the whole time. He watched everything that happen and will give you a play by play if you ask him!

The Oak Ridge Boys were the entertainment! Old as the hills and still got it, or so Anna and Emily thinks. (Ha!Ha!) The girls got to be right up at the stage when they were performing. They thought that was really COOL! We all had a great time. I am really blessed to have a wonderful Godly husband and father, along with a beautiful young lady for a daughter and lets not forget about my "Real" Cowboy.

May God bless you all!

ORDINARY DAY

I don't even know where to start!

Today is just another day, but today God answered two prayers. I have been praying for peace and joy in two situation in my life for about 4 months now, PRAISE God and thank you, Lord! HE answered two today...

It is amazing to see God work. Just when you are sitting there going "HELLO, do you hear me?" and feel as if HE is not on you main line at the moment, HE IS THERE! Just call, HE answers! That reminds me of the song "JESUS on the main line".

Ordinary day with an extraordinary friend!

Fear

Do you sometimes feel that although you've been spending time with God, nothing happens? You wonder is God even there, or worse, if He has left you?

Guess who produces this fear of being alone with God? Rest assured that the last thing Satan wants is for us to spend time with God. He will attack in all sorts of ways because he knows that the more time we spend with God, the more we will recognize all the lies and fears that he has worked so hard to firmly plant in our minds.

When I decide to really seek God and listen for His voice, more than anything else, Satan will do everything he can to keep me distracted. He knows I will become a powerful adversary when I begin to listen to God. Don't let him fool you though; God will meet you any place, any time, no matter what's going on!

Ask HIM to meet you today. . .

"Don't be afraid. Stand firm and see the LORD's salvation He will provide for you today" Exodus 14:13

Happy Birthday, Tanner!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope you have many more!

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY HEART!

I love you,
Aunt Jill

Thanks!

A very special "Thank you!" from my family to yours, as some of you know my Dad had hip replacement surgery New Years Eve. He is doing very good! Everything went well and he is on his way to a long recovery period, so I want to say "Thanks" for your prayers and please continue to pray for him and my Mother. He is still in the hospital at Baptist in Jackson. We hope he will get to come home to the Franklin Co. Hospital on Monday to continue his recovery and therapy! He will be in the hospital for 14 to 21 days so he needs your prayers. . . Thanks!

In His Grace
