35 Degrees this morning.
It's Cold.
I just Do Not like the cold.
My heart goes out to those who now
find themselves having to live out in it.
My Prayers go up
and tears fall down my face for them.
I Am Blessed
to be sitting in my nice little WARM bed
with all the covers pulled up around me,
as I sip on a Caramel Macchiato "flavored" cup of COFFEE
in my snowman coffee cup,
as I type this.
SMILING
We've had a rough few days and nights so it really
feels good for All things to be calm right now.
My sweet David is all tucked in his bed, sleeping
like a baby as he holds tight to his two favorite
sock monkeys.
Trammell, my Precious son, my HERO is on his
phone uploading a song from the old Lion King
movie that will be sure to jar him straight out of bed
in the morning. "The Circle Of Life".
LOL,
Turn it up and Listen to the beginning of the song.
We are both excited about teaching
our Sunday School Class in the morning
(as we always are)
and want to make sure that no matter how rough
the night goes we will be up early
and at Church on time.
The new theme for the Kid's Department
is a Circus Theme called
"Off The Rails".
It begins in the morning at 9:15.
FUN!!!
By the way, if you are ever in the
North Myrtle Beach area we'd Love
to have you come and join us at
BAREFOOT CHURCH on Main Street.
You Will Truly Be Blessed.
Trammell and I just hate that we will miss
Church next week as we drive to the Upstate
but we excited and are looking forward to
meeting our family for dinner Sunday
afternoon in Easley. This will be our first
Holiday Season without our Mom & Dad.
We lost both of them last year.
This year begins yet another "New Normal"
in our lives.
Trammell and I feel So Blessed to have the
opportunity to appear on a show called
Dove Nite Line on Channel 16,
WGGS-TV Monday night, Nov. 4th at 8pm.
We will be sharing our story and Testimony.
Trammell and I began Praying for God to
Enlarge our Territory in July of this year.
We read The "Prayer of Jabez for Teens"
book one last time before Trammell turned 20.
We've been Praying the Prayer of Jabez
since then.
God is Truly answering our Prayers
and opening doors.
We are
PRAISING HIM FOR IT!!
WE GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY!!
1 Chronicles 4:10
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel,
"Oh, that you would bless me and
enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me,
keep me from harm so
that I will be free from pain."
And God granted his request.

Please Continue to Pray for our
family.
It cost us $10 per hour in nursing
care for David for every hour
Trammell and I are away from home.

LIVING UNDER HOUSE ARREST
Trammell and I are in Duluth, GA, right outside
of Atlanta. We drove up yesterday so that we could
appear on a TV show called Atlanta Live to share
our family's Testimony.
We believe that God is opening doors and leading
us down the path to our dream of helping more
families who are living through the same nightmare
we have been living for almost 7 years.
We have begun filming our documentary which is the
first step to having our show called
"LIVING UNDER HOUSE ARREST".
We are Praying for the funds to buy a RV so that we
will be able to take David with us so our family can be
together as we travel, spread the Love of CHRIST,
help families in need and film our show.
I hand it ALL over to our Lord Jesus Christ.
May HIS Plan be our Plan for each and every
day of our lives.
Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, Who is able, through
His mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might
ask or think.

LIVING UNDER HOUSE ARREST - Advice For The Young
I'm STILL PRAISING GOD for allowing me
to attend a Wonderful Women's Conference
at our Church (Barefoot Church)
last night called THREADS.
What a True BLESSING!
Ladies, If you EVER get the chance to attend
PLEASE don't pass it up.
I'm already looking forward to next year!
One of my passions is teaching children.
ALL ages.
For over 20 years I taught Modeling and Etiquette
classes. 90% of my students were teenage girls. I
still have many of the thank you cards and letters
from girls and parents thanking me for giving them
the self-confidence the needed to become graceful
young ladies.
As I look back though, I think about another kind
of Grace I should have been teaching them.
The Grace of our Lord Jesus CHRIST.
I long to share with young girls the mistakes I made
as I entered my 20's, thinking of only ME and my
Career, with no concern of the plans GOD had for
my life.
No longer being the kind of roll-model I should have been.
As I have aged and become wiser with the years I
now understand what I should have realized so many
years before, that GOD'S PLAN is ALWAYS BEST.
HIS PLAN is what we should seek even from an early
age.
Girls AND guys need to also understand that the mistakes
they make now can alter the rest of their lives.
When I was 17 I received the greatest complement a guy
could ever give a girl.
Although I didn't see it as one at the time.
His name was Ray and he was my first real boyfriend.
I was in love for the first time. My heart would flutter
each time I heard his voice on the phone or when I saw
his mustang turn the corner onto our street.
Just to be near him was a joy.
BUT I had stick rules. Not my parents rules but my own.
I would only hold hands. No kissing or anything.
I believed that ALL that was to be saved for my honeymoon.
After a few months of dating, to my dismay, Ray broke up
with me. I was crushed. So broken hearted. I couldn't
understand why.
That's when he told me, "I really do
like you BUT you are the kind of girl you MARRY,
NOT the kind of girl you DATE."
Of course I was devastated at the time and did not realize
he was giving me the greatest complement a girl could ever
get.
I tell you this to make a point.
Girls, That is the kind of girl you should strive to be.
And Boys! That's the kind of girl you should strive to date
AND marry.
When peer pressure tries to tell you to do otherwise
that's when it's time to WALK AWAY.
Being a member of the IT GIRLS may be fun right now
BUT they are not going to be a part of your life in a
couple of years. Most of them you will never see after
High School, but the mistakes you make as you try
to be ONE OF THEM may haunt you for the rest of your
life.
My advice to you is to Follow a
TRUE FRIEND,
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
HE Will Never Lead You Wrong.
And
HE WILL Be By Your Side For Eternity.
Hebrews 13:5
....Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.

Living Under House Arrest - Turning 55
I have to say that turning 55 didn't hurt at all.
In fact it was one of my Best Days ever Thanks
to so many thoughtful people.
Trammell stepped up first, as he always does,
and took care of David for the entire night so
I would feel refreshed on my big day. He then
did all my morning chores, made COFFEE
and brought me a cup in bed to start my day. :)
I then got to take a 25 minute drive alone
(Moms know how wonderful that is) to the
quaint town of Calabash, NC where my dear
friend Karen owns a beauty salon called Totally
Chic Salon & Spa, where they gave me a Free
Birthday Makeover. It was SO Relaxing and
SO Much FUN to be pampered for hours.
After that I drove to the post office where I
had 3 birthdays cards to brighten my day also.
Then headed home where Trammell had baked
me the most Delicious chocolate cake with
chocolate icing. He had it sitting in the coffee
table waiting for me And had the Happy Birthday
banner hanging on the wall.
I also received sooooo many Birthday wishes on
facebook and by email. I enjoyed relaxing and
reading them and answering back as Trammell
took care of David so I could take care of me.
All in all "55" has been Fabulous so far.
I PRAISE GOD for ALL my BLESSINGS!
I PRAISE HIM for ALL my FRIENDS!
I PRAISE HIM for my LOVING FAMILY!
I PRAISE HIM for Giving me The MOST PRECIOUS
GIFTS HE Ever Gave me 20 YEARS AGO.
I Call Him TRAMMELL.
I Call Him my HERO.
I'm SO BLESSED to call him My Son.
THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THIS ONE
OF my BEST BIRTHDAYS EVER!!
Deuteronomy 28:12
The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure,
the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in His
season, and to bless all the work of thine hand:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and
thou shalt not borrow.
