To all my BEAUTIFUL friends! This song has been on my mind for some time. I LOVE IT! The message is awesome and has helped me through many difficulties these past few weeks. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I'M NOT AS YOUNG AS I THINK I AM- SIGH!

I just realized I am not getting any younger! Ha- when did that happen! I had to have a "minor"  little   out patient procedure today. When I was in my twenties I had the same procedure without any problems. Today though I truly felt beat up after all was over- and then it hit me (no pun intended) - I'm not in my twenties anymore! Man has age made me smart! But through all the FUN today I can truly say I am blessed and that my life is full- I had beautiful, wonderful people surround me with love and support, a wonderful doctor, and fantastic, out of this world, awesome, caring nurses! I also have a kind and loving Heavenly Father who took my fears and turned them into STRENGTH , took my doubts and turned them into knowledge , took my life and made it into something  wonderful !
               "We see ourselves as yesterday and today. Heavenly Father sees us as forever."

Joy

It has weighed a lot on my mind lately- finding joy- where in the world do go to look for that? Well, I have learned that you only really find it when you are too busy having fun  to go looking for it. This last week I have struggled with discouragement- sometimes it is so hard to accept God's will in our lives- especially when what you have been praying for so hard does not happen. But I continue to pray for guidance and the humility to learn what He would have me learn. He's not finished with me yet...I've found that out! I am grateful for all the blessings I have and am learning to find JOY in the little things and in whatever moment or circumstance I may be in.                                           Vikki
