Well

I said I was gonna post more but dang it if life didn't get in the way again! I'll try harder!

Only grace. Matthew West lyrics

Love this song!!


There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame

What happened yesterday has disappeared
The dirt has washed away
And now it's clear

There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy
And believe me it's enough

Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace

You're starting over now
Under the sun
You're stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy
And believe me it's enough

Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace

[ Matthew West Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand

Get back up, get back up
Get back up again
(Get back up)
Get back up again

There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy
And believe me it's enough, it's enough

Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only, there's only grace
(Get back up)

There's only mercy
And believe me it's enough, it's enough

Your sins are gone
(Get back up)
Without a trace
(Get back up)
And there's nothing left now
There's only, there's only grace

So get back up
Get back up again
(Get back up, get back up )
Get back up again

The Way to Begin - Krystal meyers

"The Way To Begin"

Dear God
It's me again down here
Don't wanna sound insincere
I'm lost
Sometimes you're so unclear
What can I do?
I'm feeling so far from you

Frustrated
Irritated
Disconnected from it all
The weight of the world
Has pushed me to the wall

[Chorus]
I surrender
To you I'm giving in
Come take me
Save me
I want to start again
I'll open my broken heart
'Cause I've reached the end
And you are the way to begin

I've seen a million empty smiles
Living in denial
I don't wanna live like that
Where nothing's real
I hate how it is to feel

Frustrated
Irritated
Disconnected from it all
I'm breaking
I'm aching for something beautiful

[Chorus]

All the riches in this world
Couldn't fill this great big hole
It takes something so much more
Only you can take me
You can make me whole

[Chorus]

Ickyness

I've been sick today! Sinus infection! Slept all day thanks to my mom watching the boys and my hubby working in the garage! Woke up at 3 pm feeling alot better! After a nice shower and hair drying we are headed to get boys and go to dinner with my dad and sister!

Ready by Third Day

I'm ready for the winds to change
I'm ready for a brighter day
I'm ready for the sun to shine down on me
I'm waiting for a song to sing
I'm looking for a brand new thing
I'm ready now to live a life that I believe

I want the world to turn because of love
And mercy to find each of us
Doing what we can to just believe
I want the world to know that You're the One
Who fills me up and gives me hope
And brings about this change that's in me
Oh yeah, I'm ready, yeah
You know I'm ready now

I'm ready for the truth to be
Something that can set us free
Does anybody still believe we'll make it through
I'm ready now to take a stand
To live life for more than myself
Tell me now, my friend, are you ready, too

I can't sit around waiting for it all to change
It's gonna take every single one of us doing what we can
There's lots of fighting in this world but there's so much loving, too
So take my hand, I'm ready now for you

Lord knows I'm ready
You know I'm ready

I'm ready for the winds to change
I'm ready for a brighter day

Tuesday.

Tuesday is just another day but it felt like a good one. I really think my changed attitude has made all aspects of my life better! Just feels good! Today was productive. Uneventful really, but productive. I maintained my cheerfulness despite an occassional bump here or there. Some people are apparently unhappy in their life so they go out of their way to be evil and vindictive and try to bring others down. But it's not gonna work on me and my family. This one will back fire in a big way!

"God is love, and He speaks through you, you've got something to say, and no one says it like YOU" ;-) love Matthew West

Jaxon.

Jaxon is 3 1/2 months old and weighs 17.8 lbs!! He is wearing 6-9 month clothes!! He had to go to doc today because he was coughing alot and wheezing! He has bronchitis! And has to do breathing treatments every 4-6 hrs. Poor guy did not like the first one, will see If he likes next one better!

Like petals in the wind...

Today is gone, like petals in the wind, just flew on by! Busy busy but not bad. Pretty productive. Living on the cheerful positive side. Nice neighborhood ;-).

Lots of home projects on my mind. I wanna get my comforter recovered, couch recovered, new curtains too! I just feel fresh n shiny n new and wanna make everything reflect that!!

Let your light shine through me onto everyone in my life!

I love TobyMac and Matthew West! Geez I'd love for them to both be in concert together at the House of Blues or Nokia theater!

Busy Week

This has been a busy two days at work. But very productive. I like feeling accomplished and on a good roll. I like clearing my desk off and marking things off my list! Next week I start another quarterly report! Fun!!

Jaxon is growing way too fast. Wearing some 6-9 mth clothes and he is only 3 1/2 mths old! He is a big coo'er!! He smiles so much. On week days he sleeps almost all evening and all night except one quick feeding around 3-4:30 am.

Our morning routines are getting easier. At least when Chris helps they work good. The older I get the more I realize I THRIVE on routines.

Also addicted to post-it notes ha ha ha.

Jaxon seems to be teething early. He gnaws on his hand ALOT and gets fussy and loves to chew on my fingers! I've tried to feed him cereal with a spoon but he pushes it all out with tongue or gets choked on it.

Jaxon has bad reflux. They also think he has laryngomalacia. I'll discuss at later date more!

Gavin is growing into such a sweet young man!! He knows his yes ma'am, no ma'am, sorry, yes sir, no sir, thank you's real well. He has normal tantrums too like any kid. Some important things about Gavin right now:
* loves his Mickey mouse and puppy blanket still
* he loves fish sticks, chicken, spagetti, macaroni and cheese, chips, peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, French fries, pizza, instant breakfast w muffins, donut holes, ketchup, Salisbury steaks(snake) lots of things!!
* he LOVES watching movies, especially on his lil DVD player that he calls dbd player :-).
* he loves cars movie and toy story and shrek the most.
* he has slept in his own big full size bed for like 2 yrs now.
* he is not really afraid of anything in particular
* he loves gum and cupcakes and ice cream.
* he loves to have mommy read him stories and loves for mommy to sing him songs
* he can kind of sing itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, 5 little monkeys, and you are my sunshine.
* his best friend at school is still Hunter, since infant class! He also says Layla is his girlfriend.
* he is having a Very hard time potty training. :-(
* he loves helping in the kitchen w cooking or dishes

I'm sure I'll think of more later......

Church.

Hi God. It's been great feeling you around lately.

Today I went to church with Michelle K. We are both trying to straighten our walk right now and it's awesome to share that with each other! I'm in love with alot of Matthew West songs! I love Something to Say and To Me alot!! I may have walked in the wrong direction for almost a decade now, but God forgives me, so I have to let the guilt go.

I pray everyday that God will shine through me onto Chris. So he can see and believe what he sees.

I want my boys to grow up loving God and knowing no matter what he us there for them just like I am.

Today's sermon was about clearing our innate conscience. If God has been asked to forgive our sins, then he has done his part, now we have to let it go and move forward.

Saturday Night

Went to eat yummy dinner at Applebees with my dad and sister. Then we hit Orange Leaf for delicious frozen yogurt! Gavin really enjoyed it! Then we came home to play in the yard for a little bit. I love when the weather starts to slowly cool off! Niiiiiice! Now inside to watch a movie together. Love my family time.

Nasty Boys!

Gavin did the most disgusting thing ever this morning!!

I thought he was being a sweet boy, laying on the couch watching his movie, letting mommy sleep in a few minutes. So I woke up at 8:45, went in the lving room and he was sitting on couch snuggled up watching his movie! I knew he would have pooped in his pullup but I was still willing to do that for a little extra sleep! I laid him down to change him and there was poop down his legs. Gross. Put him through shower and then relaxed for a couple hrs.

THEN he came over to me and shoved his new pointer finger toy thing in my face and said "ewww smells like poopy". Sure enough it was covered in poop. I said WHY is it covered in poop. He said "I painted!!!" ohmygosh!! I said "what?!" he said "my cars!" i said "show me right now!" and he took me to dining room and showed me how he had painted poop all over his little tykes ride on car!!! Gross!!! So I went to wash it and wand in the tub and he came up to me. I said is there anymore poop you'd like to show me "yes" where? "table" sooo he took me to show me how he painted the legs and underside of the kitchen table!!!

Absolutely nasty!!

I had to shower myself after!!

New Leaf

It's been a really really long time since I blogged. I used to love it. I'm gonna try to start up again with this handy dandy blog app on my phone!

I'm not about to try to catch up on years worth of stuff so I'll just give some big highlights so future blogs will make sense!

Gavin just turned 3 yrs old this month! He is so big and sweet! He is very funny! We are very stubbornly working on potty training still. VERY difficult with him.

In June I gave birth to my second son, Jaxon Chandler. He spent the first two HORRIBLE weeks of his life in NICU for breathing problems. He came home for the first time on June 30. He is surprisingly the happiest baby EVER. Laughs all the time.

Chris, my husband, left and spent my whole pregnancy gone. We were going to truly get a divorce. Until the day jaxon was born. It changed everything. Now we are together since that day and working through our problems. Just yesterday I finally came to the decision to truly forgive him for so much and to really give our marriage this one last chance.
