What I needed today
I am going through a lot in my life. I have been going through a lot this year. My trials at times have had me down on my knees bawling. There have been times I have felt I couldn't move forward. I am doing a lot better than I thought I ever could be though on most days. My life has taken a huge turn that I honestly didn't expect to happen for years (or really ever to be completely honest). I know I am doing what I should be doing, I am where I need to be. I am also so scared for the future so scared for the present. I really needed to hear these sweet words today:
Don’t you stop. Don’t you dare give up. Not even for a moment. Even
through the worst of times you can feel
Him. Do not stop yourself. Help is always there. Comfort is always there.
Christ is always there. Not ever will
He leave. Not once. Not even for a second. Turn to Him. Trust. Listen. Keep going always. And receive
the best ever created for you. You
can do this. And it will be greater than you ever could have imagined for
yourself. And you will look back and be blown away and left speechless with the
direction your life has gone in.
I can't see what the future will hold and what will happen on this path that I am on. I have to let go of my fears and just trust in the Lord. Trust that what I am doing is right and that there is a plan for me. I also have to trust in Him to know that all things are ok. That people who I have lost in the last few months they are OK. They are happy and they are at peace and that there is something more grand in store for them. I will keep going, I won't give up:)

Tuedays Tips
To make blogging a little easier for me I have decided to follow my friend Denise's daily blog ideas. Thanks Denise for making me look forward to blogging and ideas to blog about:)
So Tuesdays will now be Tuesday's Tips. Any craft tip I can share, recipe or really anything I will share with you.
On Friday Brylie had her tonsils and adenoids removed. Which is not fun. We have had to eat a lot of soft foods. So mostly we have eaten soup, cottage cheese, pancakes, mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. The day of her surgery when we got home I found a good recipe for some Cream of Broccoli and decided to make it. It would be something easy for Brylie to eat plus the warmth would help her that much more. I wasn't sure about this recipe because I have one recipe that I love and I hate to try new things. Once I go done making my soup I got a spoon and took a taste. DELICIOUS is what hit my mouth. This soup is so yummy and best of all it only takes about a half hour start to finish. I decided I will share the recipe so you can enjoy it as well:) I doubled mine but the recipe below is not doubled:
1 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken
1 tsp chicken bouillon
Broccoli
4 baking potatoes peeled and cubed
1 cup sour cream
2 cups water
Put your water, peeled and cut potatoes, chicken bouillon, and broccoli into a pan salt and pepper to taste and boil until veggies are soft. When they are done mash the veggies. Mix in your cream of chicken soup and sour cream. DONE! See told you it was super super easy. The only thing I did different on mine other than doubling it was I added an extra tsp of chicken bouillon. You can add cheese or carrots just depending on what you like.
So there you have it some delicious soup for a cold night or just for a wonderful and easy meal:) Happy eating all!!!

Memory Monday
Hi peeps. It has been a while since I have blogged. I am going to change that (I seriously am going to try better this time around.) A lot of things have been happening in my life the last little while. Which is part of the reason I have not been keeping up on here. I have been sad and happy, stressed and blessed all at the same time. It has been a crazy little while here in my world.
With my week being a really crappy one I figured I would make my blog happy. That is how the world should be. So today is now Memory Monday on my blog! Hopefully I can remember enough memories lol!
The memory I chose for today is one of my favorites a memory that has been on my mind a lot lately. I am not sure why but ever since my brother passed away this memory hits me every single day. It is a simple memory but the thing I think remember most from this memory is my brothers smile. I have been trying to find words to describe his smile. Contagious, lively, happy but most important was the way I felt seeing it I felt loved and warm inside. His smile alone made me feel as though my heart were full and everything in the world was perfect. Who knew a smile from one person could be so amazing.
When we were little my brothers best friend Chad pretty much lived at our house. Chad and Mike were always either teaching me how to get into trouble or they would gang up on me although they were never mean, at least that is how I like to think. Whether they were throwing tennis balls at me, teaching me how to slide down the stairs in sleeping bags (by they way this was a ton of fun!!!) or hiding things from me they were always finding something to pester the little sister with. One day when they came down stairs I was in our, at the time play room/ tv room, coloring away in my coloring book with some new markers. Of course one of them ,I am not sure which one started, but the other of course followed in the others footsteps and took one too. I got mad at this point. Hello if you don't know me I love pens, pencils, markers and crayons and here they were stealing my brand new markers. I finally blew, I took the lid off of one and threw it at them. I hit my target and a big purple line ran down Chads face! Victory was mine for about a second if that. Little did I know by doing that I started a full blown marker war. There were markers flying everywhere. As you would run for cover markers would be flying towards you in all directions. I remember laughing so hard. I soon forgot how this whole war started the three of us were just having so much fun. By the time our marker war ended we were each colored with marker lines all over us.
I love this memory. It probably seems like such a strange memory but to me it holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me of a simpler time. A time when all things were never taken too seriously and life was about having fun with family and friends. In my mind I can see both of their faces and it brings a smile to my face. A smile that today was surely needed!
