Not Me Monday!



So this is something new I am starting thanks to MckMama who I just love reading her daily blogs. She is about to deliver Baby Stellan here in just 2 weeks. Check out her blog and please pray for Baby Stellan!


So here is my Not Me Monday...

I did not stop by Church's Chicken on my home to buy corn on the cob so that I can use it for my Pot Roast on Saturday!

I did not just go Saturday morning garage selling and drive around to 5 houses and didn't find a thing! I did not just go to the last garage sale and it was one you were able to walk into the house to buy whatever she had in it. This is the truth, I did NOT buy anything!

I did not turn on the water sprinkler yesterday at about 5 p.m. and turn it off this morning at about 7 a.m.

I did not drink 5 cokes yesterday!

I did not just leave the house a mess this weekend!

Ok so this is my Not Me Monday post and I did not just sit here at work and think of everything! LOL

P.S. this is just to much fun!!! Thanks MckMama for starting this...

Oh my Friday past!

Oh my I can't believe I forgot to do my Friday Blessings post! Yikes... Ok so here I go... This past week was quiet BUT blessed...

Saturday - a blessed one (I can't remember what I did)

Sunday - OF COURSE a blessed day since I got to praise & worship & hear His word.

Monday - blessed day

Tuesday - blessed day

Wednesday - blessed day

Thursday - blessed day

Friday - My 8 yr old cocker spaniel Destiny decided Thursday night that she was in pain so I woke up early Friday morning to call the vet and get in ASAP since I had to work. I was able to get an early morning appt and they kept her to xray her and well when I saw the prices of xrays I just had to run to work and pray that I wouldn't have to pay alot. The dr called and said "she is not showing me any signs of pain" in my mind I wanted to go and woop her bootie...LOL She cried half of Thursday night! Ok so the dr thinks it may be the beginning of Artheritis (sp?)... Well she is 8 yrs old! So then she tells me to pick her up when I can and so I did hours later and my bill was $50.00 since they found infection in BOTH ears! If you want a Cocker Spaniel just a reminder: Ears get infected at least every 2 months (at least my cocker does) So it was BLESSED because the Lord knows my finances and she didn't have any xrays done just the visit/ear stuff/and some other thing I can't remember. Praise God!

Ok hopefully I will jot down everyday starting oh my TODAY for next Friday! LOL...

And I want to thank each of you that comes and leaves me a sweet comment on my posts!

God bless.. Melanie

My siggy

Ok so I am a member of a website and well signatures at the bottom of messages is a BIG thing on this particular website... I have been asking around to see if anyone would make me a siggy for October 15th Pregnancy Awareness Day and this nice girl made me one!! I had/have tears in my eyes now... Tears of Joy knowing my angel is in the arms of my Heavenly Father and many other little angels of my Sisters in Christ!

Here is the siggy...


I call myself a Christian!

I hope everyone that is in my life will understand what it means to be a Christian. At times we take for granted what salvation is all about. When we give our life to our Lord & Savior that is not where we stop! We have to walk beside Him even when our hearts are hurt, hard, discouraged, etc. We have to be in His Word and give him praise and honor for giving us LIFE! When I say I am a Christian im not telling you to live my "religion" because I don't claim a religion, I am just a believer in Christ who is my Lord & Savior.

When I say I am a Christian...

"When I say, 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting I'm clean livin'. I'm whispering I was lost and now I'm found and forgiven. When I say, 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say, 'I'm a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need HIS strength to carry on. When I say, 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need Jesus to clean my mess. When I say, 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible but Jesus believes I am worth it. When I say, 'I'm a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches so I call upon His Name. When I say, 'I'm a Christian' I'm not holier than thou. I'm just a simple sinner who received Christ's good grace, some how."

I received this from Tammy Trent who is a speaker for Women of Faith and also a singer and many other things. I was able to hear her speak, sing, dance and also I was able to shake her hand at the Revolve Tour with Women of Faith. She lost her husband to a scuba accident in 2001 and since our loss of our baby I have been emailing her and she does email me back! She is a sweetheart and her heart for Christ shines!

She sings beautiful and if you ever get to see her in concert or conference you will have a blast with her when she starts to dance and you will also cry to hear her testimony!!! Watch it now!! LOL I love her....

Here is a pic of her and her hubby...

What to say...

Ok so today hubby came home to tell me his coworker and his wife just miscarried. After so many months of hearing how many people in my life have miscarried its just so sad. I know the Lord has a plan and His plan is for the best, but at the same time not knowing this couple and since my hubby just got promoted it's now my job to send them flowers, card, and go see them. Please keep me and the family in prayer. I don't know anything but their last name. I will find out everything else tomorrow and hopefully go and see her. Please pray that the words that come out of my mouth will be from the Lord and that I will be able to share my testimony. Thank you friends... I will update after I go see her.

Awesome website

I found this website of a friend of mine that lost her baby this year as well due to "stillborn."

This video is beautiful and made me cry...

I spoke with my child
