We all could use a little divine intervention every once in a while. Right?
I believe that there was divine intervention in Sunday's game against the vikings. I would have loved for Sean Peyton or Drew Brees to stand there after the game and give all glory to God because I know without the real "saints" on their side, they might have lost.
Anyway it got me thinking. How many times in my life did God intervene when I desperately needed Him to? I can think of several specific incidences. So why am I always surprised when He shows up? And why are there some areas of my life that I hesitate to give up control?
Just a thought I'm having................
Thank You God for Your Divine intervention in my life................whenever You see fit.
Love to all,

January 11, 2010
Today I drove to Baton Rouge to teach a class and I got to have lunch with my good friend Lacey on her birthday. Of course she had Oliver with her so I was so excited. He is the cutest and funniest 2 year old I have ever met. I can't wait to meet the new baby Sam when he finally gets here, but that won't be until May so I guess I'll have to wait a while. But anyway, it was so nice to spend a little time with them today.
On my way back to New Orleans, I was just driving and enjoying the music and "Finally Home" by Mercy Me came on the radio. If you don't know, that was the song that I sang at Aaron's funeral. I have only heard it a few times on the radio since the funeral and when I do hear it, I get choked up. As the song played, I felt the tears start to well up in my eyes and eventually spill over and run down my face. Even though time is supposed to heal all wounds, there will always be little reminders here and there that I've experienced great loss. Even though emotional triggers can be very difficult and sad to deal with, they can also be powerful reminders about what is really important in life.
This year I challenge you to get your priorities in order. Find out what is really important to you and place the highest value on it. Where your treasure is, so shall your heart be. In my last post I wrote a few of my goals for this year and I put God as my number one and family as my number two priorities. It only takes a second to tell someone you love them. You never know what tomorrow holds and tomorrow may be too late.

Hello 2010
My oh my, it's been quite a while. This holiday season has relly been hectic. First I want to start off by telling you what my mantra for the new year is. "In 2010 we're all going to win!" I know it's cheesy but it is catchy :) So if you own a business or breathe, you know how hard you got hit by the economy in 2009. Well I, like many of you, was starting to accept it for what it was. But then I had a wake up call Sunday morning by Pastor Mike. I am not going to accept it. I am going to believe that my God is who He says He is. Another little catchy phrase I'm going to use is, "In 2010, I'm not going to live like that again!" This is the start of a whole new decade. Life is what you make it. I am going to make this the best year of my life, personally and professionally.
I have so much to be thankful for and I intend to thank God every single day that I am alive and well and that my children and my family are healthy, happy and whole. Of course, I do have to make the standard resolutions that I do every year, but this year I'm not calling them resolutions. I am calling them goals because I do much better hitting the target when I know where the target is.
My first goal is to put God first in EVERY thing I do. Before I do something I will ask myself, will this honor God?
My second goal is to spend more time at home with my husband and children. I don't want my kids to ask me, "Why do you always have to go back to work?"
My third goal is learn more. This is a very broad goal and I intend to keep track of what I am learning by documenting it here in my online journal.
I have several other goals but those are just a few that I am asking you to hold me accountable for. I promise to post more often this year and I encourage your comments.
Have a Blessed and Prosperous 2010!
