COWGIRL UP

So yesterday my neighbor Cris called me up and asked if I would like to go out on a ride with her. Now, I was thinking bike ride, but she was thinking horse ride. I hesitated for a moment and said "SURE"! Now if you know me well you know I am no where near a cowgirl. It takes some serious flexibility to stradle it yet alone have the cordination to guide the animal where it needs to go.

I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW!

Ash and Cort just had their third little boy yesterday. Carson and Kelton were so excited about it. They kept saying ....."NO WAY". He is one cute little fart. I think he looks a lot different then the other two. Ash is a pro at the whole giving birth thing. She makes it look so easy.....even though I know it really isn't at all. Way to go girl. You are AWESOME. I am so excited to see the litte guy. I just LOVE new little babies. So innocent, sent from above. I can't wait to meet you little Henry. See you soon.

Shut Up and LISTEN

Because this is my personal journal I will document an amazing experience that happened to me last week. Due to the fact that I can only remember things for about 24 hours meant I better document it NOW. I know we all have days when we just need a little extra help from above. You know, God. So I was on my knees giving thanks and also asking for forgiveness of all the many errors I make in life. One specific thing I asked for that night was for the Holy Spirit to be with me. For many, many years I haven't asked for this specific thing, but I felt like I needed to. I don't remember many times of the Holy Ghost kicking me in the butt to say "LISTEN".

I was on my way to work the next morning for our annual inventory day. This meant waking up at 4:30am and heading out the door at 5:00am. I was driving down the main 2 lane highway on my way to the big "BURG". It was lightly snowing outside with a brisk wind blowing the car. I was going my normal speed of 68mph. I always drive 68mph - no less, no more. About 15 minutes into my drive I get this overwhelming feeling "SLOW DOWN". It was almost like someone grabbed my foot and lifted it off of the gas pedal. "SLOW DOWN"! I slowed down to about 65mph. I just kept saying to myself......that's weird. No more than 30 seconds later I came round a corner bend and a car was just passing a large semi on a double line. I couldn't see the car until it screeched to make it around the semi.

Now, if I were driving 68mph I would have been hit by the car and possibly KILLED. It is hard to explain the feeling you have when you know for a fact that it was the Holy Spirit with me that morning. It took me 35 years to really understand what the Holy Ghost was all about. Well, today I found out. So all I want to say is that you just need to SHUT UP, and LISTEN!
I hope you are all doing super duper. Talk soon!
