Happy Birthday Tarrah

Thirty years ago today, God blessed us with a beautiful baby girl. Tarrah Kaylynn Tredway.Where has time gone. I can still remember how it felt to hold her right after delivery.I cried tears of joy! I wanted a little girl so bad, and God answered my prayer. Needless to say she had her daddy wrapped around her itty bitty finger from the moment he layed eyes on her. and she still does!:) Tarrah(Sis) Dad and I wish you the happiest birthday ever, one that you will remember for a long time.:) We love you with all our hearts, and we are so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!

"Your Destiny is Greater than Your Dilemma"

I just got home from church this afternoon and I am still feasting on the word of God that we heard this morning. Our son Josh preached an awesome message, entitled "Your Destiny is Greater than Your Dilemma" Letting us know that our dilemma that we are in or going through should not affect our worship,our praise, our giving , or our attitude. We need to stay focused on our destiny. Where we are going and headed should give us the strength to overcome and keep right on living for God whatever state that we may in at the time.How can we have a testimony if we have not went through a test? How can we say that we are Victorious if we do not have a few battle scars? We cannot avoid our dilemmas to get to our destiny , but we have to keep our eyes steadfast on the goal, which is Heaven and remember that God will give us the strength to make it. Oh Hallelujah! What an awesome God we serve!

Looking Out of My Window

July 19,09 Every morning before we even get up and get around for the day, we open our drapes and sliding glass door and enjoy the beauty of God's creation. Off from our bedroom we have abeautiful backyard and when the sprinkler system comes on the beauty begins. We have the priveledge to watch Bluejays,Robin Redbreasts,Sparrows,and even a gentle old Hawk that feels comfortable enough to sit in our gazebo and sunbath while he sings to his mate. We watch the birds take their daily bathing in our sprinklers,the humming birds feed from our feeders and some even eat Cassie,s dog food. One day I heard strange pecking noise, I knew it wasn,t Cassie our dog making that noise because she was laying at the foot of our bed still asleep. I told you that she feels like family too,so at night we let her in and she sleeps at foot of our bed. Sooooooo I got up and checked out the noise. I peeked out and to my suprise there were three Bluejays in Cassie's food bowl. The pecking noise was when they took the food out of the bowl, they dropped it on the concrete patio and were pecking it apart and then eating it. Seeing this just made me smile and chuckle a little and ofcourse my hubby was curious to what I saw,so I told and he got akick out of it too. Such simple little things like this bring me the greatest of blesssings. It makes so thankful for the many blessings I'm blessed with and they don't cost me anything but just to take out the time to look out my window and see all that's mine for me to enjoy. It reminds me of what an Awesome God we serve and how blessed we are to enjoy the creations of the great creator. It's so amazing how he takes care and provides and even sees when the little sparrow falls,and that same someone takes out time everyday to care,protect and provide for you and me. It reminds me of a song my son Josh sang last Sunday. "His Eye is on the Sparrow". I am so thankful that I know that He watches over me!!!!!! One last thought......Beauty can not be seen through $$$$$$ signs, and you can not hold the greatest riches in your hands but you hold them in your heart, and to find them........... you might just need to take the time and look out your window.
