Merry CHRISTmas!

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

The kids are excited about going sledding and being with their cousins for the holidays. Have to admit, I am too.

Shopping has been interesting. We, Mom, Marcus and myself, went to South Pointe yesterday and you'd think it was black Friday all over again, actually we decided it was worse than black Friday. I was very sorry I had to go to Micheal's. Inside wasn't bad, the parking lot on the other hand was awful. All the stop signs had cars lined up and getting in or out of there was a nightmare. Yikes. We couldn't even get out of our parking space. I just wanted to get out of there. Not that Target was much better, but not as bad as that.

Michaela is holding her own so far, still up and down with her weight. We are doing some more tests on Monday and Wednesday of this week. Yeah, I know Merry Christmas to her. But we have got to get to the bottom of this. Poor thing was so excited to turn 13 on Thursday, we went to Applebee's, where she wanted to go and she was doing pretty good and by the time her supper came she was hurting, she went to the restroom, they came to sing to her and she wasn't there, I went to get her and she was sobbing in the restroom. I felt so bad, for her, what a way to spend your birthday, not feeling well. I hate that this is taking fun things away from her and that is what hurts the most. I just want her well, this has gone on for too long.

My prayer for 2010:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before today to thank you for the joys of 2009. I pray for health for all my family, immediate and extended. Lord please bring Peace to the world, I pray for even one day of peace for those surrounded by violence daily. I pray that all the hardships of the last year are behind all of us and we trust that God has had a purpose for them all and will guide us through to the end and teach us what we need to know. Father, be with all who are traveling this holiday season and with them the whole year through. Grant us wisdom and knowledge to do your will.

In your name I pray,
Amen

Merry Christmas everyone, REMEMBER JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
