November Forever

November has always been my favorite month of the year. Here are some reasons why... I was born in November and so was my husband. I immigrated to U. S. in November. I just love the colors of the falling leaves, the crisp, cool weather.
But most and foremost Thanksgiving falls in November. Indeed I have so much to be thankful for to God who led me to this beautiful country to enjoy all the blessings of beautiful family and friends, church and jobs and most of all for giving me blessings of abundant healthy life.
I am thankful for the grace that Jesus gives to me. I am saved by His grace!!!!

New Adventure

Last August 25, 2010, God had led me to a new adventure. An adventure that has given me more reasons to appreciate the beauty of life and has made me remember that God is in control of everything.
Despite life's challenges and trials at the beginning of 2010, God has never abandoned nor forsaken me. Instead, He has led me through more blessings and more sweet opportunities more than I could ever imagine. In the stillness of the night I am reminded of the scriptures that says "Be still and know that I am God".
Now as I await another year of abundance, I am ecstatically enthused of more blessings to come. A blessing for the marriage of my youngest daughter, more grandkids, trips and many more. It is my desire to continue to serve the Lord and follow His will.

Happy Birthday, Baby

God made you for me today,
July 27 is your special day,
My precious, loving, beautiful baby,
Is now 27, years old today.
Happy Birthday Baby,
I love you,
Mommy

Happy 1st Birthday to Jacob

This Friday, July 9, marks the first birthday of the cutest baby in the whole state of Texas. His name is Jacob Westin Golz. I thank God for blessing me with a family and for giving me blessings of grandchildren.
I am looking forward to someday being near with my grandchildren to being able to hug and hold and take care of them.
For now I would like to at least remember the sweet memories of when Jacob was born, of when I first held him in my arms, smelled and kissed and hugged him one year ago today.

Happy Birthday sweet Jakey. Lola loves you very much.

There Is A Reason....

There is a reason why, at 29, God led me to a blessed life here in America. There is a reason for my marriage to my very first friend here in America and the cute little boy who was the very first child to ever call me mom. There is a reason for the two adoring, beautiful daughters who have given me excitement, the weariness, and the happiness of motherhood. There is a reason for God taking my parents home to be with Him. There is a reason I became a teacher rather than a banker. There is a reason that I was given a church family, a school family, and a large group of friends. There is a reason that I have been given grandchildren. There is a reason that Lindy has been sent to share our home.
The Lord giveth.. The Lord taketh!!! There is a reason why, at 21 years, my teaching days came to an end. I thank God for allowing me to enjoy these years of being with my kinder kids and meeting new friends through having these children. In all of these, I am convinced that God, in His awesomeness, will lead my life again to yet another greatest adventure which is yet to be discovered.
In Ecclesiastes 3:1- "There is an appointed time for everything, and there is a time for every event under heaven."
