Journal Notes

Heartfelt notes:

Preparing my thoughts on paper that are speaking so loud for sharing a season of brokenness that I have faced and still am facing today.
"My Season of Brokenness" will be the title of my Bible Study-this study anyone can join in on (I am doing this study for me and hoping that as I share my heart and hope that it will give someone that little seed to get them through their difficult time in their season of life.)
2010 has been a very tough year for many reasons, brokenness has taken root in my depths of my heart again (what I mean again-is years of brokenness a long time ago in my life consumed me) I have been healed, but with everyday life and circumstances sometimes brokenness can creep in without us even knowing it. But this time I know God is for me.
We will have seasons of happiness, sadness, depression, loneliness, hope, excitement...that's part of life but it's how we handle it that sets our feet straight to follow the narrow path of faith, hope and love.

Simply get back deep into God's Truth=His Word.

Season's Greetings

Wow the time as sure flown by, since all the problems with my husbands surgery complications then being rushed to another hospital for 3 blockages..and with all the procedures done, now medicines and recovery has been going good...our life has been way to busy and with the Holiday Season upon us, it's so important to keep it real. Sharing the real reason for the season is our Jesus Christ birth. Which we will celebrate in a few days, and so much to be thankful this season in our family. This Christmas will be double special, our family and friends celebrating Jesus birth and Praise Him that we still have Lee with us. Thank you Lord.

What I've been Doing!

Our lives have been so busy since the start of school started in September and with getting back to a routine schedule of homework, school events, appointments and working part time and still trying to be a stay at home mom can have it's challenges!!!! but I love my job, my first and most important job that is being a MOM!!!! I love my girls and love my husband and raising them in a Christian home is all I could ask for.....I find that trying to hold down the home and working part time is very hard for me and my family....I am not always there for my girls when they need me, but deep down it's ok that they defend for themselves once in awhile makes them love me more I think... all this to say I love being Emilee and Olivia's mom and wish life could be different with me home again and only God knows that. But for now I must work for a bit and trust that what I have taught them and prayed over them that they will be ok.

sorry for the lack of blogging, I am having to rethink some things in my everyday life and get back to what is important and what is pleasing to God. This blog is up there with my children I know that the Lord blesses me when I am faithful to my readers. Thank you for reading and praying and dreaming with me.

Summer has been busy, so quick little note to say ohhhh I love lobster sandwich and cheddar broc. soup.... yummmiiiieeeeeee it's sooo good.... here is Olivia on her Ipod instead of talking to me...I kept on talking to her.,..teenagers have to love them....

summer bbq for supper-Lee preparing the grill....nothing better than food cooked on charcoal...

God's Garden blooming....

see the little guy, working hard...

sorry so short, just some quick little notes and pics of a busy summer...

lost time~faith seeking

So sorry I have been missing in action on my blog. I have been so busy with work, family, and then went home for a week. I know excuses will get me no where, but you love me.

And with this lost time for me has been bittersweet~alot has happened since early winter, alot of changes in our life and changes of people around our family. You know those hard swallowing changes~that grip your every moment.

With this past week of being away up visiting family was one of those moments~without getting into details. My emotions are weak, a little broken~ so tonight I have been enjoying the Worship Music of Kari Jobe~You Are For Me.
love this song~

let God sing over you.....more to come....

We Turn 40!!!!!

short note

Hi my sista's in faith, sorry I haven't been blogging here for some time, let's just say life has taken over my time, with now working part time, taking care of my ill daughter, and trying to be a mom, women's leader, sunday school teacher, girlfriend...woooowwwwooo that's enough complaining, I praise my Lord for everything even the trails we are going through at this moment. I have not forgotten about you all, my focus has been blind to what's really important and that is "what God wants" from me.

more to come, peggy lee

Bad Blogger Please Forgive

Wow time has flew by since the last time I have posted, we have been really busy here in the Baker home, between drama play practices for both our daughters, church events, work..Our lives have been way to busy, now that Spring is here it seems to be slowing down a bit, just intime for cleaning up the yard from old man winter. My heart was pulling to my blog for I have not been true to blogging with it lately, life dragged me down. I praise our Heavenly Father for loving me and holding onto us during the past couple of months. I will share more later but for now I will post some pics of what has been keeping me away from my journaling notes of hope, faith and love...

Children's Church girls what a bunch of cuties.....

Emilee making her first pie crust-she is a great job. (this was for school)

Here are God's girls, Olivia (holding the bible) is my daughter and her friend went to college for a weekend, Master's Commission a Christian College. Olivia wants to attend there....

there is so much more to share, and God has reminded me that I need to be accountable to my blog. So I will see you all in the morning with a devotional. Got to love Monday Mornings!!!

Happy February

Wow It's February already-so I am sending you all a Little Valentine Card pic to say Thanks for being my blogging friends!!! Remember Jesus loves you and me-won't you let Jesus be your VALENTINE.

Here are my Valentines Girls!!! Olivia and Emilee enjoying each others company at a school game. I will cherish these moments for they go by way to fast, and the girls are growing up to fast.

Morning Coffee

Having a hot cup of coffee this morning, with my mind filled with many thoughts. Thoughts of how much my love for my Savior is, and I am so thankful for His Mercy that he freely gives to me and to you. There is a song that speaks loudly to my heart-I don't know all the words but it goes something like this:
I want to sit at his feet
drink from the cup in his hand
lay back against him and breath
feel his heartbeat
this love is so real....

that's all I can remember this morning, and that is all I need to start my day!!

To sit at his feet, drink him in (Father thank you for loving me and always being there for me in tough times, easy times, everyday moments.)
My hope is in YOU!!

Where did my time go?

Lee and I celebrated our 18th year together on Monday Jan. 11th-wow where did the time go? God has surely blessed us.......Love you Lee

2010

wow I can not believe that the New Year is just a rolling-where has the time gone? Parties and decorations are over, packed away. New list and plans are in the making, dreams are being thought of-vacations are being planned. It seems like our world is going on with out us, what I mean to say is we have been going through some rough waters, and I feel like time has drifted away from us. But this we know GOD is still Good!!!! Faithful.
2009 this verse was for me:
Psalm 62:5-8
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress,
I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts
to him, for God is our refuge.

I am still searching for my new verse for 2010-the reason I don't have one yet is simply I have not been applying God's word to my life, (I've been to busy, worry, thinking to much of what ifs) Oh God please forgive me, for my lack of love, and faithfulness. My heart is crying tonight for God's assurance that He loves me, (which down deep I know He does) sometimes we have to hit rock bottom in our faith again to be rebooted up for Living out our Christain walk for Christ to shine again in us and through us. Struggles are not meant to tear you down, they are for building you up, stronger to handle life, to share with others who are struggling.

Have you ever Struggled?

I would love to hear from you, leave a comment?

Forgiveness!!

Please I need to ask forgiveness for lacking on this blog-our life over the holidays was packed full, and many times I sat down to write something and couldn't. I have been struggling through some tough things over the holidays and I am feeling the need to share with you, but my lesson isn't over just yet, I am trying to stay focus on the fact that God is FAITHFUL-but worry keeps creeping in. I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD.....

more to come.....
