God's correction to me on Tim Tebow

Soooooo, after last nights amazing win against the Jets..... The fb posts started rolling about Tim Tebow, now everyone who knows me, KNOWS I am one of Tim Tebows greatest fans. His is the only jersey I have ever owned and I bought it before we were even SURE he was a Bronco! I taught Tanner to yell "Go Tebow" when he was 3 and a half!!! I love the KID, Tebow that is... (Tanner too, even more then Tebow, but he's not what THIS blog is about, lol) All that said, my post on Tebow last night got out of hand and God very clearly let me know about it in the middle of the night. You see a friend posted a pic of Tim without a shirt, I re posted and the fun began. Caught up in all the excitement of the amazing win, it did get out of hand, I knew that when I shut off my computer last night, but then God started working on me on why I loved Tebow in the first place.... I loved his faith!!! I loved that he has already seen so much of the world by going on missions!! I loved that he was humble, and I remembered why I fell in love with him in the first place. It was the commercial he did for focus on the family, and I LOVED how he LOVED his mother.... That's when I became a Tebow fan!!!!

Now I have grown into a bigger Tebow fan, because I can clearly see the walk this boy has with the Lord, and God is BLESSING his socks off in the process, why???? Because Tim has a HUMBLE HEART, and he loves the Lord with his whole heart. I believe he gets wisdom right in the game because he asks God for it and he believes God gives it. I believe he works hard one day at a time to be the best he can be, and I believe he gives God the Glory and Thanks HE deserves! All that said~~~

Who is Tim Tebow ~ He is a MAN that loves the Lord and has been Blessed BY the Lord to do his job well, sometimes even pretty amazing, he is a good kid who does more important work off the field then on the field (that came straight from him last night in his interview directly after the game when he talked about his hospital foundation) He is a AWESOME role model for my grand babies of which there are few around these days. He loves his family, and he is a cute kid who I hope finds a GODLY wife who will be his help mate in life. He is humble and Loves the Lord his God with his whole heart. And I pray all this fame NEVER changes that. He is someone I admire more then anyone in a long time. He works hard and receives wisdom from above BECAUSE he asks for it. He is a good boy, BUT......

Who Tim Tebow is not ~ He is not a God, or even Jesus as the new jerseys suggest, nor an IDOL. and I should not make him one, and I believe in my heart he doesn't want to be made one either!!!!

So all that said... GO TEBOW, show yourself STRONG in the LORD, and I will remain one of you many fans, I see what God is doing in you and love it!!! The world knows something is DIFFERENT about you, I pray the WORLD would see the same DIFFERENT in me... So Tim you are a role model to me as a Christian, but you are not my God, and you would never want to make yourself that... So in the end I say GO TEBOW!!!!  I love you kid, and I love how you handle yourself, you are truly Blessed!!!! I will keep looking up to you and pray for you, but I will remember you are BLESSED by God, not GOD!!!! And I will thank the Lord for His correction!!!

Time for a mental vacation

I've been thinking about my post the other day. The one that said I think it can be dangerous to go down memory lane too often, but I want to recant that statement.... I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I need to do for my mental healths sake:) I've been running on high speed now for years, and let's face it, the last 11 years since Bev's death have been the hardest time of my life, with MANY TRIALS, both financial and family.... Oh don't get me wrong there have been just as many, if not more BLESSINGS, such as grandbabies, our dream ranch and a quiet lifestyle I love... But I WANT to go down memory lane, I WANT to remember the good old days so I can reconnect to MY ROOTS... The last 11 years I've been broken and now I have the answer to how I will get fixed...It took last night of staying up most of the night to figure it out, but I did get it.... I got the peace in my mind (FINALLY) about how I am going to go about it.... First off I am going to take the time to get this house in order, closets cleaned out, mud room, scrap booking room etc....I'm going to plan dinners with friends and family, I'm going to visit my Granny K more often, I'm going to take my grandbabies on outings that show them who I am, and give them some good old Norman/Kirchmar/James values, cause we are great people.... I am going to scrapbook my past and go down memory lane doing it.... Remember who I was and what I want to be in the future. Scrapbook my 22 years of daycare, my years with my kids, my parents and Jeff's parents and our whole amazing family... Yes this will be a good time... I lost me somewhere in all the changes in life, but I thank God He showed me last night just what I need to do to get ME back... So I apologize in advance if I can't be where I've been in the past, but I really want to be where God is showing me to be now...

So I leave you with this thought...... Do you like how your life is turning out????? If not make the changes!!!!! Life is short, make sure you are leaving the legacy of YOU to your family... If you have lost YOU, I beg of you, go find yourself!!!!!! Have a VERY BLESSED DAY!!!!

Thank you Lord, that you are the lighthouse that guides me in this Life.

Goin down memory lane............

Here I sit alone, as Jeff is in town Plowing... We had our first plowable snow last night, wind blew like crazy so I have a few drifts out there. I had to climb gates to feed the horses this A.M., nice to know I still can:)........ So anyway I was going to try to get lots done today, but decided it's been crazy busy the last few weeks, so I'm taking a day of rest and may I say it has been wonderful, Getting my thoughts in order!!! I talked with cousin George this morning on SKYPE, I just love this new age, talking to a cousin in Cali and can see him, wow!!! Then Beth called and we talked (too long:) then I got side tracked by PANDORA radio listening to COUNTRY CHRISTMAS music, and of course I had to post it on FB then Colette sent me to Colorado Christmas by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.... Well that got me somehow to Dan Fogleberg, that then had me put him in PANDORA... Well that brought up great stuff like Jim Croce, Crosby Stills & Nash and more.... So now my thoughts have turned to my younger days!!! It got my memories going to dancin around our living room with my babies in my arms.... We did a lot of dancing in our home even when the boys grew up... Sometimes I think it's dangerous to live too much in the past, but today it is making me CRAZY HAPPY!!!! I'm so thankful for my family and all the memories that have been flooding my mind today, yes some tears have fallen too... But mostly I'm thanking the Lord for my life, and praying my boys have those same happy memories in the back of their minds also... Maybe when they turn 50 they will think on some and smile like I have!!! For now I'll continue listening to my  music and smile:):) Right now "Southern Cross" by Crosby, Stills & Nash is playing on my Boise Also heard "Time in a bottle" Oh if we could just save "the good old days"!!! Yep that would be great, but hey in a few years this will be the good old days right????!!!! Have a Blessed day everyone and be thankful for the small stuff!
