Just Pray

Sometimes you just have to cry yourself to sleep, this is one of those nights for me, please pray.

Mountain of God

Of all the times I've heard this song on the radio, it never reached me the way it did just now on my drive home. I've been dealing with a lot in my life. A lot of personal struggles and opportunities to lean on my Heavenly Father! It almost brought me to tears truly hearing what was being said, and I wanted to share this with whoever choses to read this!


Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


'Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God
As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again
Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
But of all I've had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what's in front of me
With what's in front of me

Clyde Makes New Friends!

One thing I love about Tim, is that he knows just how to make my day. A couple of weeks ago I went to a specialist I've been seeing for a year. The news that every patients dreads to hear was delivered to me. "There's nothing more that we can do" I was a wreck. I called Tim just bawling my eyes out, looking for some sort of comfort. At the same time I was having to drive to my second appointment for the day. Oiy!

At this appointment we discovered the reasons my arms and legs have been going numb is that I had 2 bulging discs. I was almost relieved to hear that, it meant that I'm not crazy. I haven't been imagining this stuff and there is a cause. They told me we can try to correct them with physical therapy. So we went ahead and did a session.

Those silly little "exercises" hurt. It's so embarrassing, there are no weights, no cardio, no sweating.....but ooouuuccchhh! I was beat.

After everything was all said and done for the day I headed over to Tim's house to hang out, maybe rent a movie. When I got there, he said 'Put your shoes back on.'    Huh? I was confused. He proceeded to tell me we were taking Clyde to the DOG PARK!! :O

I've been begging nagging asking Tim to let us go ever since he decided to keep Clyde. One thing you should know about Tim, he's stubborn. Very stubborn. Usually once he makes up his mind, there is no changing it. So when I heard those glorious words come out of his mouth, as painful as it was, I started jumping up and down. It immediately lifted my spirits!

We grabbed my camera and Clyde's leash and headed to the dog park. I wish I had taken more pics, but I was so busy having a blast I forgot. Here's what I did get:

Clyde drinking out of the CLEAN water bucket. There was a dog that kept peeing in the other one. G-ROSS! The water buckets were a popular spot. Some dogs liked to bury their heads in the water and blow bubbles. It was hilarious!

 Clyde made friends with "Q" He was a 12 week old German Shedder Shepard that likes to wrestle as much as him. The white dog is the "Pee-er." Not only did he pee in the water, but also on another dog- GASP! We watched him very closely!

 Clyde also liked to watch all the new dogs come in the park. He was very attentive to all of the happenings.

 He didn't pace himself very well though, so he had to sped a lot of his time catching his breath.

 Here's Tim and Clyde. I love the smile on Tim's face and how content Clyde looks here. <3

 This is Tim giving me the infamous, "Really, Marsha?!" face. I had only taken about 20 pictures. So I didn't really feel it was necessary.

All in all, Tim made my day completely better. I was able to forget about the bad report from the doctors and all of the other stuff that's been stressing me out for a few hours and just relax and have some fun. He's the best!
