Lord send the Rain

Posted by Charlotte Ann at 11:05 AM 0 comments

Wow! So it has been raining here in Corpus Christi, TX. for about 3-4 days now and we just heard that it isn't going to let up till at least Thursday! It's starting to get scary because the water is already coming into our doorway and the swimming pool that is right in front of our front walkway is already flooded over into the sidewalks and the entryway!

I know that it is Hurricane season and all, but it never rains like this!

A friend of mine posted on her Facebook this morning that she swears that she thought she saw all the neighborhood animals stating to line up 2 by 2! lol

OK you and I both know that's not going to happen.

God put a rainbow in the cloud and that is His promise to us to let us know that wont happen again!

I love the rain, don't get me wrong; its just that in this much quantity its ridiculous!!

I said a few days ago that I am looking forward to the cooler weather that comes with Fall, but I never thought that all this rain would fall the way that it is.

Lord send the Rain, pour out your spirit!

Let the fire fall, heal us one and all

Fall fresh on me!

Glory to God!

Where Were You??

Posted by Charlotte Ann at 1:58 PM 0 comments

Where were you 9 years ago today?

What were you doing?

What were you thinking at this very moment?

9 years ago today our Country was shook by an evil presence; a evil experience.

I remember I was working in a little donut shop and listening to K-99 country music and had the small TV on above me and all of a sudden the news broke that a plane had crashed into the first building!

What were you doing? What can you remember from that day the most?

Please take the time today to remember the ones that were lost that day and the lives that were taken from us so suddenly! Please remember our loved ones STILL fighting for our freedom!

Please PRAY!!!

Posted by Charlotte Ann at 5:46 PM 1 comments

Please pray for my blogger friend Traci's sister in law Jessica!!

She is in desperate need of prayer! Jessica is 17 weeks pregnant with a son, Gabriel Zachary! Here's where the prayers are desperately needed:

At her routine 12 week visit, the doctor found 2 hemorrhages inside of her womb. In the course of 5 weeks, one has passed but the other has grown. It now makes up 75% of the uterine lining.

It is attached to the placenta which is lying partially over her cervix. The placenta has torn away from the uterine wall.

The doctors say that every week she is pregnant is a miracle, and they are truly baffled when she returns pregnant.

Her specialist, who is also a Christian, said that it will be a miracle if she makes it to viability (24 weeks), and that there’s nothing he can do to help her get to that point.

Thankfully he knows that it is our miracle-working Savior who can remedy this whole situation for His glory. As of today's visit (September 9th), they just want Jessica to get to 22 weeks ( 4.5 more weeks) before putting her in the hospital for daily monitoring and steroid injections.

They don’t believe she'll be pregnant by Thanksgiving. Gabriel Zachary has grown on track thus far.

There will come a time when what’s left of the placenta won’t be enough to keep him growing...

Will you join US in prayer?

If you want to join in prayer and also show your support and help us to reach others to help us pray please go to Traci's Blog and grab the button and add it to you Blog as well!

Thank you!!

Just a few bows that I have made!!

Stress and the way I feel at the moment!

Posted by Charlotte Ann at 2:49 AM 0 comments

Here I am and I feel hopeless!

I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way, but I don't like it!

I feel as though everything around me is crashing down and I can not do anything about it. Its hard to think that its been over a year that my husband lost his job and has yet to be able to find something! I feel as though this is a test or that there is something that is holding us back.

I know that the Lord has a way of doing things; Especially in His timing.

I know that when one door closes another one is opened and that He will never give us or have us go through anything that we can not handle.

Even through all of this I sit here still in amazement for what He has done for me and the best thing is that I know that He is always there for us!

I want nothing more in my life right now than to follow Him and to be in His will not my own!

My main goal is just that!

I have a hard time right now though!

My weight keeps me from so much at the moment!

I don't want to hide behind what I look like and feel like anymore. I want to be able to go to church and not feel as if people are judging me (I know that my church family isn't that way)! I just want to feel normal and accepted!

I thank the Lord everyday that He placed me with a husband that loved me for who I am and not what I look like... I know that he cares for me more than anything and that he wants me to be happy, but I know he wouldn't mind me being thinner either!

I dream of being 100's of pounds lighter, but I don't know if that will ever be more than just a dream!

I worry and I stress and for me that leads to more stress eating and then more stress!

I don't know what to do or think half the time!

I want to be here for my family! My husband and the kids!

I want to be here and be happy!!

Lord help me!

My 365 Project CHANGES!!

Posted by Charlotte Ann at 11:06 AM 1 comments

I have decided to just do it by weekly account because I am swamped at home right now with the kiddo's having started school this week and just life getting in the way when it does.

I have quite a few pictures that I can share with you and Im sure that its not enough to make up for what I have missed, but its going to have to do because its all that I have time for. I hope those that actually follow my blog (though few) will uunderstand.
