Hello EJ,
I noticed that you like nature,walking,and animals. I do too. In fact they are my favorite subject to paint and draw. Im a muralist and artist. I do alot of art for alot of churches here in Utah. God has blessed me with alot of work and i have met the greatest Christian brothers and sisters. Its soo good to have such a great group of people to fellowship with and get the encouragement I need. Especially when I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I see that mothering is challenging for me sometimes so I crave all the mothering advice I can get. Anyway, again, I am glad you are here and I would love to be your friend. Ill see you later,maybe??

Hello EJ,
How are you?? I pray that the spirit of the Lord be upon you today to have peace in whatever you do and wherever you go. You are dearly loved by me and all those around you. I am soo lucky to have a friend like you. I am honored that you want to be friends. I hope you had a really great Thanksgiving. I cant believe it has already come and gone. Now make way for Xmas!!! Im not ready at all for it. Hey, cant do much if you dont have alot of $ to go around. But God always provides and if people dont get waht they are used to getting from us this year, and they dont like it, then its thier problem.right?? Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend and that the peace of God that surpasses our understanding be upon you!!

Hello friend,
May god richly bless you today!
How have you been? I pray that all is well for you and the family. How has the holiday season been going so far for you? This time of year is kinda hard for me because my uncle commited suicide just recently and my mom is selling the home I grew up in, so Im mourning over alot. Its been hard, but I have to get over it eventually. Pray for me and my family. Losing my uncle has been hard. Anyway, so , I hope you are having a good time so far this December. What is your tradition usually this time of year? Well, since Xmas wont be at moms house anymore, we have to come up with our own traditions. Any ideas?
Well, sis, I pray that you are doing good, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!!

Hello EJ!
Thank you for the comment. I am sorry that it took me soo long to get back to you. I have been really focusing on getting ready for Xmas, and all the birthday parties coming up for the people in my family that are born this month. My sons birthday is the 18th and my birthday is the 27th. My step dads is today, and my brother in laws son is coming back from Iraq for a visit and his birthday is this month too so we are having a party for him. So I have been busy painting.taking care of kids,church stuff,things around the house, shopping,decorating,etc. It takes alot of time to do just about anything when you have children.
But anyway, thank you for your understanding what I have been going through. Suicide is such a hard thing to comprehend. I am saddened by the whole thing. Itll be a hard Xmas.
Well, take care, and remember Im here for you too. Thank you for being a good friend. God Bless you!!

Soul Food for the day: ON PURPOSE
“All things work together for good…to those
Who are the called according to His purpose”
-Romans 8:28

Are you passing through the deep waters of trial and disappointment?
Does everything seem to be going against u?
These apparent misfortunes are not accidents.
The Lord allows such things for a blessed purpose!
So patiently trust Him. If you know the Lord,
Someday you will praise Him for it all!

God transforms trials into triumphs!
Have a blessed day to you, my friend.

Hello my friend,
How are you doing? It has been a while since we last connected and I just wanted to stop in and say hello. Did your holiday go well? I hope so. Ours went ok. It wasnt the best and it wasnt the worst. I hate to be negative about it but I am honestly saying that it was hard. I was blessed enough to spend time with my husbands family and thier children(My husband has a 30 year old and a 24 year ol and they have children) but my family didnt make much of an effort to see me. I dont live that far away from all of them at all. Maybe 20 minutes, but they still complained about the drive. My mother was "too busy" to celebrate Christmas with the kids and that really hurt. Oh well. Life is always full of good and bad surprises, but luckily I have someone whom I can depend on 24/7, who is always there when I call who doesnt complain, and always loves me. and that Is God. WE are lucky that you and I are in Christ because we have a hope when the rest of people who arent Christian dont have much hope at all in these last days. I hope that the future Christmas's for my family and I will be better and memorable.
Well, what else has the Lord done in your life? How is your husband? and your "large menagerie"? I would love to live in a rural area. I now live in a much more safer and peaceful area then where I lived a year ago. Salt Lake City used to be such a great peaceful,place for families to raise children when I was growing up, but in the last 10 years, Salt Lake City has gone downhill and it is sad to see. Too many people,too much crime, and too much construction. Old cute houses have been torn down and made into condos. Parks have become Wal Marts, and little ma and pa stores have become strip malls. So we moved our little family to Layton Utah where it is much more livable and with less crime. If you were to visit, you would probably think that this place was a metropolis but, its not compared to alot of cities. Anyway, Praise the Lord that you are blessed with a great husband and alot of animals. I have to go, so keep in touch with me and let me know how things are. God Bless,
Paige
