Congrats!!!!

Goes out to tadpoles & teacups- Cathy!!! she is this weeks book winner.
I just want to thank each and everyone of you for playing each week. It has been really fun and I made so many new friends. I will not have another giveaway for a while but please continue to drop in and visit.
Cathy please email me with your snail mail address and I will ship your book to you asap.
I recieved a newsletter in the mail yesterday from extraordinary women (christian womens conferances) and guess what was on the front cover. An article about a blogging ministry.
The author talks about how much she loves to blog and how many connections she has made.
I know we can all agree there. She goes on to say that she shares Jesus with others as they read her blog. She has had people ask questions and had people to ask for prayer and many other things for her blog family. I have really been on the same line with her, because my desire is to let others see Jesus thru my blog. I know alot of you have the same desires. I feel like when we can share our grief, pain, joy, love and some time tears that we all have some kind of connection. I am thankful that God has put each and everyone of you in my lives and I just pray that at some point whether it be a post or a prayer or even just a kind word that you would feel the presence of Jesus on this blog. I know I have felt his presence when you have said prayers for me and my family and I thank you for taking the time to stop and pray for my family when it is needed. Hubby is completely well, thanks to your prayers and our sweet Jesus for healing him so quickly. I know some of you are going thru some trials right now please know that I am praying for each of you. Know that he is with you also.
Hope you all will have a great Friday. Blessings, Karen

Update on hubby he got up and went to work even though he probably didn't need to(can we say hard headed). I can tell he's hurting by the way he walks. So please continue to pray for him that it wont swell anymore and that it will heal quickly.
Hope everyone will have a great day! I can tell you my day has started off great just by reading your post. Thanks and God bless! Love ya, Karen

Prayers please!

Good morning ya'll. I just wanted to post really quick(babysitting so don't have but a min.) My hubby just called and said he hurt his back really bad at work. So please be praying for healing and no pain or long lasting injury. He is self employed so if he is out of work it hurts us bad ,cause we are already struggling. Thanks so much for all your prayers in advance. He is going to chiropractor now to see what he thinks will give an update when I find out something. Blessings, Karen

UPDATE-- Doc said there are a few disc out of place but he was able to get them back in line. Said there should be swelling for several days and to keep ice on it. He says its still hurting pretty bad. Thanks again for your prayers.
