very helpful. We were given the wonderful opporuntity to

2008-11-14T20:51:00.000-08:00

On November 8, 2008, Mike Prioa and Robbin Wilbur were married
at Magnolia Manor, in Mobile, Alabama.
It was a beautiful afternoon wedding. It was nice a cool outside and
the flowers were so colorful. Everyone enjoyed celebrating with the

happy couple. The Grand Band really put on a
show. They danced and danced.
Their was plenty of delicious food
from Tyner's catering. I really love their hot chicken salad

casserole. Miss Judi made her yummy cakes.
There are two bright memories I will always remember
from this wedding. The way Robbin and Mike looked at each other as
they said their vows. There was so much love in their eyes.

My next favorite moment was watching Mike's grandmother dancing
with his grand father. You could see how much they loved one another.

Best of all, they still knew how to have fun with each other.

In God's Hands

2008-10-09T01:34:00.000-07:00

Today, God showed me he was there. I was at Wal-Mart checking out.
Nothing out of the ordinary.. I was pushing my buggy to the exit.
An older woman in a scooter was walking next to me. She smiled sadly.
I said,"hello." Out of nowhere, I got the idea to ask her to race me. Her face lit up light a christmas tree. We pretended to race each other. At the exit, we were both laughing.
I asked her if she was alright. She told me she was in a lot of pain. She has fibermalysia
Her only hope has been pain killers. I told her about the medication my mother is on.
How it has helped her feel better. I also told her it was important to get rest. She told me her mind would not shut down. I suffered from the same problem. I suggested yoga.She is going to call her doctor about other alternatives to pain killers. She hoped I had a nice day. Then another older lady, gave me the biggest smile.

At that point, I knew God had used me as a instrument to reach out to this woman.
Why? Because, he designed us in his image. He is constantly helping us. He wants us to be like him. He wants us to connect with one another. He can guide us to be angels on earth.
It felt great. I could really see God in my life today. God is so amazing.

Yes, I do believe in heavenly angels. There are also angels on earth.
They look like you and me.

We are all in God's hands. We are just like this baby.
Lost, scared, and looking for understanding about the world around us...
We need God.We need each other.
