Journaling Reads:

I may not know what the Lord has in store for me, but I do know that I am still here so my work is not finished. Today has also reminded me what is important in my life...my husband and my children. I may have a splint on my ring and pinky finger, but I have no broken bones. My children are fine shy of a small goose egg on emily's head, and we managed to get out before the fire really got started. Things are things, and can be replaced if needed....hold tight to those babies and tell them all the time how much you love them, even if you do have to discipline. I praise GOD that we are still here and can Praise Him for keeping us safe!
