Want and Desire

Preface
Yesterday I wrote about not wanting to go to church anymore.  The word WANT then, was on my mind all night and day! I desired to find why.  I see slight differences in the words Want and Desire both by definition and in the scriptures, this is the result.

My Psalm of Want and Desire!

I Acknowledge thee Oh LORD, I know that thou exists and without thee I am nothing. Lost for sure. Help me.
I Come to Thee in remiss of my mixed emotions, wants and desires. Help me.
I search the WORD for answers and guidance. I seek to know Thee and Thy ways. Help me.
I want so many things that I forget to acknowledge what I have. Forgive me.
I forget to see the truth and the honest desires of my heart. Hear me.
Then recognizing the foundation of my life and the Joy that is therein. I Thank Thee.
I am thankful that the desires have been met of family, freedom, health, and that of being able to go to Church and worship when, where and however I can. Forgive me.
For truly my desire is to Live this Life completely and to find Joy in it with Family and Friends. Thank Thee.
I want in my desire to be fearless and take courage. Hear me.
I desire to see my family on the other side and want for us here in this life still; to be restored as a family forever and for always, to be forgiven and united. I Thank Thee
I want in friendship and desire to be a friend, Help me.
I want to know thee better and understand thy ways I desire to be at Thy side and at Thy feet when You come again, Help me.
At age 8 I did want to be baptized, I desire now to live up to my covenants, Please, Help me!
I am wanting in my habits for good, Forgive me.
I desire to have a change of heart, to not be a sluggard, slothful and greedy but willing to commit, and not willfully rebel, to be honest and have integrity not have the want to be commanded in all things, but the Desire to Daily Choose to follow the commandments. Hear me.
I want to give wholly my sacrifice and offerings; in doing so I desire to be humble, simple and endure to the end. To not want to look back longingly but instead go and do, showing my desire through actions to plant seeds having the desire to see the roots and harvest of the future that is Thy Will for me, I thank Thee.  Amen.

Death and it's reflection

I reflect about life and death;   "There is more to life than death..."   The man from snowy river


this is me and my sister
There is something about a sister.  A best friend, a judge, a confidant, an example, a mother, hugger, a bridge between mom and me, a bond that 
from childhood can never ever be touched, broken or forgotten.  I miss you Sis
this is us on easter
yep! that's us!

January ...

it's an interesting month.  It's suppose to be when we start over, get a fresh start on new habits, goals, out looks on life.  It's not to me, even though it's the month I was married in January causes me to reflect on death.

My brother Tom, Sister Judyann and Mom & Daddy
thats me on my wedding day.  Timmy wasn't there.
See them?  they are my syblings a relationship that is suppose to be the longest you have on this earth.  see the baby in the middle?  that's me, I'm the only one left.  I've lost them all to death.

step into my blog, and meet the family
That's my Aunt El!
She was my
bestest auntie ever.


this is her with my Uncle Blackie
on their wedding day in Wyoming.
This is my Uncle Otis.
 He was the best Uncle ever, he had 4 wives that I know of and no children.

this is my nephew Tim with his
Uncle Tom (my brother) his dog and donkey!
I know I've shown this pic before,
but it's one of my favorites


Thats my brother Timmy, we were the last two left.
We were having a memorial for my brother Tom
This Jaci is was Timmy's wife, she made him very happy.
  Without Jaci we would have lost Timmy much sooner than we did.



1 Corinthians 15:
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we haveatestified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is avain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are aperished.
19 If in this alife only we have bhope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is aChrist brisen from the dead, and become thecfirstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came adeath, by man came also thebresurrection of the dead.


these are them; Uncle Otis, Aunt El Mom and her parents  -
How amazing is it that in my life time I knew everyone
except my grandfather in this picture and this is how they traveled!?!?!?

I believe, The spirits of all man are taken home to God and we will live again and all be together as a family One Day  and that's how I reflect on death.  Miss you all.

please enjoy the attached video

I am Grateful for "Y" - Yesterday



I am grateful for Yesterday


 I am grateful for Yesterday because of the Music I was raised on from Old School Western to Rock to today's Country and everything in between!

Speaking of Yesterday .... here's a few


Because all of the yesterdays make me who I am today!! (like it or not!!) 




“Life, he realized, was much like a song. 
In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, 
but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides that makes the whole thing worthwhile.” 
--Nicholas Sparks


This video collage of music of my Yesteryear defiantly is the middle and full of emotion!!! 
As with every other decade you are raised in.
 I can "feel" where I was and what I was doing for every song.
I have no regrets for yesterday --
 for I would not be who I am today without Yesterday.

"Music expresses that which cannot be said
 and on which it is impossible to be silent." 
Victor Hugo

 enough said about Yesterday

Apryl



I must reminese...

31 years ago My Richie and I came out the Hospital (yes anona - a hospital!) a much more complete and humble couple!!!  For we came home with Apryl Ann Sobczak A little red headed beautiful sugar bear!!!


I asked Richie just now, all these years later what he felt and how he feels now, he said;

He almost passed out and the birth! 
She interferred with his watching of the Space flight STS-2!!!
That Was so long ago!  
How did we pay for that? 

We spent the day together Dad and Mom talking and bonding, thinking about our kids and how much we love them.  How we are praying for them and we want them to succeed to find happiness.  The conclusion was Apryl Ann we are so grateful for you - YOU kept us together, kept us striving, you are "a girl who saved a generation"!  thank you for coming to live with us!!!! <3 appy="appy" birthday="birthday" nbsp="nbsp" p="p">
