New Song...again

Ok, yes I know I had a really long break (and I still have to continue with my 31 day thing). It's been a weird, strange week (and some odd days). But I have to share this song that I found tonight. I've heard this song before, but I've never really "heard" this song. Scott and I decided I need to add it to my song list (of songs I sing of course...lol). So it's now gonna be on the Stevens Park list. It's also on my playlest below..so enjoy!

We Can (by LeAnn Rimes)
They'll try to stop the dream we're dreamin'
But they can't stop us from believing
They will fill your head with doubt
But that won't stop us now
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block
We'll just run right through it.. Cause...

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got
To make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can

They say the odds are stacked against us
But that can't hold us back, we will be relentless
There's a voice they're gonna hear
A voice so loud and clear
So let them say we can't do it, give us a mountain,
and we're gonna move it.. cause..

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands, and we won't stop
Cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, Two hands, we can

We're gonna make a change today (make a change today)
Because we've got the faith it takes
To win this race, so let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block
And we'll just run right through it cuz..

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands and we won't stop
Cos we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart Two hands, we can

I can (oh I can)
Do the impossible (do the impossible)
I have the power in my hands, and I won't stop
Cause I've got to make a difference in this life
With my one voice, one heart, two hands, we ca

Day 5 (of 31)

Day 5, except that it should be like day....I don't know. Life got a hold of me...it got busy...and I kind of quit blogging (for the most part). I've had some issues that have had my attention. I've been worrying, stressing, and trying to cope. It's all good (and no I have not blogged about these issues). So I will start again with my 31 days starting with day 5. Here goes:

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory




I have so many favorite memories. But I guess I'll say that my wedding day is at the top of my list. It's the day I married the best man in the whole world, and I've never regretted it. Even when times got tough. We are going to renew our vows at our 10 year anniversary, which will be in 2013. I can't believe that's only 2 years away. I can't wait to wear my wedding dress again, and make renew my vows publicly one more time. I fall more and more in love with this wonderful man everyday.

Day 4 (of 31)

Day 04 A picture of your night.


This is a picture of me sleeping with my puppy. This is what I do at night. My puppy, Spencer always sleeps with me. He's my baby, and he's way too spoiled. My big german shepherd, Krissi, will sometimes lay with me in bed, but not often....only when Scott's not in bed.

Day 3 (of 31)

This one was hard, because I have a few favorite shows.

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show
Umm.....let's see. I have a few favorite shows...I'll narrow it down to three.



Saved By the Bell


Full House


NCIS


Ok, I cried when she died on the show (not the actress) and I miss Kate. She was replaced by Zeva. As of this weekend I got further in the shows, and now there's another character change that literally made me cry. I'm totally way too addicted.

Heaven is for Real

I read a book last night and this morning. It amazed and excited me. I reccomend it to everyone to read. The title of my post is the title of the book.

It's about a little boy of almost 4 years old who has a ruptured appendix and goes to heaven while during surgery. His dad wrote the book and shared what his son told him in the year or so after this event happened. The details the little boy gives are just amazing. He's so young to know some of these things...but there is scripture to back up pretty much what he says about what he saw in Heaven.

I won't share everything of the book, because you just have to read it. And it's a very simple read that is so full of child-like faith.

To read about what was seen in Heaven...the way he describes things. I understand my family doesn't want to lose me, and deep down I don't want to leave them...but I'm so ready to get to heaven. The little boy talked about seeing loved ones, seeing some kinds of animals (including dogs...I was glad about that) and described God and Jesus...even Jesus' cousin (John the Baptist).

What really got me was this boys mom had a miscarriage in between his sister and him (at 2 months along). His parents never shared this with him. He told them one day that he had met his other sister and that she looked like the mom. She was excited to see him and waiting for everyone to get there. But that because she died before her parents knew her gender or anything, she didn't have a name. This is my promise to see my children in heaven! Hallelujah!

This just proves that heaven is real, that God is real. To deny it is just plain ignorance.

Do you know that you will get to this place called Heaven? Do you question at all? I suggest that you find God, accept Christ's gift of eternal life so you can spend eternity with Him and with me (and my family).

I guess all there is left for me to say is...."Amen".

Day 2 (of 31)

Ok, day 2 and so far so good. I'm so excited to be doing this. It's fun to look through pictures and try to decide what I want to use. Today's was hard to find because the person I needed a picture of, I don't have many pictures of him. But I found one from a few years ago that works. He hasn't changed a whole lot in looks.

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest


*pictured here with my niece Jaelyn. This was taken in Minnesota when my Grandpa passed away (don't worry, more about him later)

This is my dad. He's always been there for me, even when I wasn't a “good” girl. He's been the best example of God's love that you can find on earth. He's not perfect, trust me. But I love him so much. I remember when I was little he would come home from work and I would run to him yelling, "daddy, daddy pick me up!" And he would pick me up and love on me. The older he gets...and the more grandchildren, I see so much of my grandpa in my dad. He is the new "Grandpa Pollock". My grandpa would be so proud of him.

Day 1 (of 31)

Day 1 down, 30 more to go! I can do this. Would you believe that I just spent an hour looking for the flash drive that I keep all my pictures on? I was totally panicked, but I found it. I was gonna totally go off on someone if it was missing...it has ALL of our pictures on it. But it's all good, no need to worry now. And I will keep it in a safe place from now on.

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts



ps...the picture is of me around my 28th birthday (2010) with my family at Red Lobster. fact #1/2: I love crab legs and shrimp!

1) I'm 29 years old (with an almost 16 year old daughter...does this make sense...lol)

2) When I'm nervous or anxious I bite my fingernails down to nubs (they actually hurt and will bleed at times)

3) I have not yet conquered the fiddle (sorry if you wanted to hear "Orange Blossom Special")

4) I have like a million siblings....no, just 7. But I only count 5 of them on a regular basis. I also have sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law that make the count up to...well, I run out of fingers to count..lol.

5) I love to make people laugh...even if it means it's a little at my expense. I don't let them laugh at me, they laugh with me.

6) I have 2 dogs and a cat. And my doggies are my babies. My smallest, youngest dog is the baby, and he's treated like one. (The cat is Scott's "cancer" cat)

7) Along with the siblings I have 4 nieces and 4 nephews...wait, one more nephew on the way. I guess boys now outnumber the girls!

8) I work at a grocery store and I love it so much. I love to see people on the days I work, to greet them with a smile and hopefully make them feel a little better. I will also admit I love to clean and organize the shelves...am I OCD or what?

9) I've been married for 7 1/2 years (that long already...lol)

10) Oh, I gotta make this one good...it's the last one...umm...I hate cleaning. Seriously, I hate it. Sometimes I wish it would go away, or I could just give it up...but I continue because it's what I gotta do.

So that's a little bit of me.
