Time is Running Out

So, it is the end of July and I feel so stressed because things have been so crazy. Last week I went in and had some oral surgery done that I been needing to do for a long time. Also Jeremy was in the hospital in Germany. So talk about 2 people worrying about each other and not what they are going though...lol. Anyways, Things are better, he is out of the hosiptal and I am recovering quiet well, just having a tough time learning how to eat again since the surgery.

Anyways... Big news I decide when I am going to GERMANY... and I leave in 10 days!!! YES TEN DAYS!!!! It has not hit me yet, just now starting too. I start to feel overwhelm cause there is still so much I want to do before I head there but I am just so ready to settle and Unpack...living out of a suitcase gets old. I will be glad to say I am home!! I just got to sell my car before then, so that is what most of my stress is about right now, so hopefully someone will buy it! Anyways...Can't believe that my time here in Texas is ending and I am off to GERMANY! WOW! Don't seem real. I never would believe that me, a country girl from small town Buna, Texas would live in another country. I never even thought I would visit another country, yet live there! Well, I guess I am ready for this adventure!

Children

So, I posted something the other day about this subject but it is still heavy on my heart and I have a lot to say about it. I can't wash the news anymore. Every night there has been some story about a precious child that has been killed or abused some way. One night it was the mother pour boiling water on the girls legs, next was a story about dropping the child off like garbage on the side of the interstate, and this is just terrible that this is happening. I would do anything to have a child. I wished I could tell these people "hey before you do something terrible and hurt the child just give them to me and I wont ask any questions and you can stay out of jail and live your terrible life. But, I guess I can't do that...but only wished! I really really wished that I could build a huge house and give all the children that are not love and are abused a wonderful home filled of happiness and teach them what a real family is about. Children deserve the world and I hope one day I am able to help children that are not well off so that they can go though life making right choices and know that they can have a wonderful life and that they are loved!


Also when thinking about this: I do all I can to help children that I see and wonder if that is the lesson I am supposed to learn by not being able to have children right now. Someone once told me that I should think about all the children I have helped in my life and if I have had a child all this time would I have done anything for them or would I not have the money or time to help others. I love helping and I do hope one day to adopted children that need a home!

Here is a song I LOVE
"I am A Child of God"

I am a child of God
and he has sent me here
has given me an earthly home
with parents kind and dear

Lead Me, Guide me,
Walk beside me
Help me find the way
Teach me all that I must do
To Live with Him someday!


Updates

Sorry I could not come up with a better title then update but that is really what this just a update.


*Well, Jeremy got a house and he has been busy making it not just a house but a HOME!! We are going to be living on post on the second floor or a stairwell building. Now I am excited to decorated!

*He finally found the ward there and was able to go. It is very different but that could be a good thing. They do everything in English and then translation it in German. So maybe I will be able to learn it sitting in church. Going to a new ward is always my HARDEST part of moving. I hate that new ward feeling. It always makes me feel homesick until I get to know people and it becomes my home! So, with Jeremy getting comfortable first maybe I wont have has much trouble.

*I will be getting ready to head over there soon. Right now I am going to get some dental work done that I have not had the money for. Once that is done then I will be heading over there. Hopefully by the first of August!

I guess that is all that has been going! My life is kinda boring but yet exciting all at the same time!
