Answered prayers today!

I am still in awe of God's timing and answers to prayers. I can also tell you that I am so grateful for my church family today. I started going to Centerpoint Church back in 1998. I remember telling Pastor Jay when I hadnt been there for a series that they were all about family issues and he used to tell me that I would need the messages someday. Little did I know that in 1999 I would become pregnant with Demi. We are so blessed to have our church family and I am so grateful that Michelle got one of my bestest friends Donna married by Jay. I have been enjoying Jay's messages for the past 11 years and I know Demi has grown into the beautiful child she has because of our church and our friendships there. I always say it takes a village to raise a child and I truly mean that in today's world. If you are not in a church family, I would so recommend finding one in your area. You can also visit our website at http://www.centerpointchurch.com/ each week for the weekly message and series. If you live in the HEB or DFW metroplex and are looking for a church please come by and visit us this Sunday. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks for all your continued prayers and love!

On to another subject, I have been without our directtv since last Wednesday and I have to admit for the few days it was tough not having the tv and noise. But after a week of no tv, bad news and activities outside of the home, I am really not missing the tv anymore. Actually I think I get so much more done and am really taking part in things I love like reading and getting out to visit with friends.

Also I am incorporating a new goal for everyday. I want to give something, a gift to someone daily. It can be as simple as a card, trimming my neighbors hedges or just calling someone in need. I also think that praying for others is one the best gifts you can give. So do you want to join me? Demi and I really try to Pay It Forward everyday anyway, it has become a way of life for us. It is cute to see her friends get into it too when they are here or with us while out. Isn't that a great life lesson and it doesnt' have to cost a thing.

I am reading this book again called "Expect to Win" by Bill Glass. It is such a great Christian read. My spiritual goal for everyday is to engage in some kind of reading either my bible, a bible study and or christian book. This really excites me and I hope to start my day with this as well as end it on the same wonderful note. Anyone want to join me on this one? I hope so.

So I will be back shortly to post some fun and cute pics from Demi's bday yesterday and her party last weekend. I also hope to get one week of my project 365 by Becky Higgins posted. I am still loving taking a POTD as well as documenting our lives. It really does change the way you see your life and more than anything the way I appreciate ours. I love our life and am excited to see what great things God has in store for us.

Hugs,

Diana

Pictures of our week and weekend!!

So it has been a great week. We ended school on Wednesday and on our way to dinner and our annual end of the year celebration we saw the IZOD car and drivers. Demi may be the smallest Indy driver yet. We also celebrated her 9th birthday a little early yesterday with friends and family and she is sporting her new swimsuit from Target and her new peace necklace from Groovy's in Forney. It is really hard to believe that she will be 9 on the 15th of this month. And finally there is Brylee, my niece of almost 4 months. Isn't she just the cutest and so stylish. By the way my lil sister Sheri makes all of her bows to match each outfit. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and enjoyed their time with family and friends and like us got to hear a great message about HD moments at church with Demi being blessed with a series of games about how to deal with life experiences, forgiveness and zooplosion. My good friend Shari delivered teh message today for our youth and was fabulous. Hugs and love!!!
