Well, now that I have shared all of my pictures, it's time to update you on some other "stuff".
I have been asked to put together a plan for someone. I mean I have written out a full month!!!! Journal pages.
Weights and Measures pages.
Rules
What to do
Water Log
Exercise Recommendations
Running Schedule
and I am having the time of my life. This is so very much fun. I have my sweet friend Tara who asked and agreed to give it a try. I'm so excited I could bust a gut. I'm on the last few pages. Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am planning on going to Myrtle to run in the Mini Marathon in October. I'm so excited about that. I have a new friend at work named Danielle. She and her husband have a business called Team Genetics. It is very cool!!!!! Anyway, she has made her declaration that she is going to run a full marathon in Raleigh in November. I want to encourage her so I'm thinking and considering doing the half with her as she runs the whole thing. Just still trying to sort that through. One last thing, I just found out that there is a Running Club of Greensboro that signs up with Women's Hospital and they do a Running School from August to October for preparation to run the Women's Only in Greensboro. It cost $65 and then if you run the race and complete it, you get $50 back. NO-BRAINER!!!!!! Will have to check with the hubby on that one!!!!!!!!
Things are going great. Kaleb is graduating from Pre-K next Friday. I still can't believe it!!!!!!

Its About Time
I realize that I have not written in a very long time. I have had so much stuff going on. I mean major things. It is almost overwhelming when I start thinking about how in the world to share. It is just amazing.
So let's get started.
I have a grandbaby. Yes. I have a 23 year old, a 20 year old and a 5 year old. I'm the happy Grandma of a beautiful baby boy. He is the son of my daughter Tonya. He is the joy of her heart. He is of course the joy of ours as well. He is just totally a blessing. He is growing and changing every day. Just a total sweetheart!!
My oldest, Kyle, has moved to Raleigh. He is doing well. He is an amazing photographer!!!!!! He's been in more magazines and just amazing. His sweet girlfriend Amber graduated from NC State. She is now headed to Ga. to do her Masters at University of Georgia. We are proud of her!!!!!
Kaleb is graduating from Pre-K in about 2 weeks. His pictures with a cap and gown on are so cute. It made me feel so very old but at the same time so very proud. He has learned so much in his Pre-K. We just love it there. At the same time, he is very excited about going to his "new school" for Kindergarten. He will do just great!!!!!
Hubby has started a new job. He loves his new job. I am so excited as well. He has more responsibility and the best part is that he is in Greensboro and not having to drive to Walkertown any longer. We actually drove out there this weekend and just reminded me of how thankful I was that he didn't have to do that any longer.
Thank you so much for sticking with me. I have a lot of things to share so make sure you hang around!!!!!!

Living Hope
Last week I mentioned that we had talked about the Resurrection in Sunday School and it had left me with so much to consider and to think about this week. Well, today was another repeat of what we did last week. We had scripture to discuss, which I included at the end of the post, and it was one of those "Aah-Haa" moments. It was just amazing. It was one of those times when you have read that scripture numerous times and you think you understand it and then you read it again and WOW, it just blows you away!!!!!!
We talked about having a Living Hope. It is something that is very real. It is very powerful. It can and should determine what and how we live each day. So I was thinking about those to words. So lets take them and run with it so to speak.
Living. Christ, came to this earth as fully human and fully God. That in itself to me is something that I, to this day, still have a hard time wrapping my human mind around. He came here and lived on this earth and never sinned. He died a horrible death on a Roman cross and was buried. He rose again on the third day. He ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is living. He is alive. He is listening. He is caring. He is everywhere. He is powerful. He is interceding for me. He is ALIVE!!!!!!!! He is living. There is no doubt about it!!!!!!
Hope- probably one of my favorite words and most misused words. Hope is often used so lightly. We "hope" we get that job. We "hope" that we get that raise. We "hope" we have time to do this or that. We even go so far as to say that we "hope" that Jesus will answer our prayer. We "hope" He will do this or that for us. We have a HOPE. We have real hope. When we pray we should ask EXPECTING!!!!! We use it so lightly, and we should use it with confidence. I mean if we think about this and consider....His word has stated that He hears and listens and he answers!!!!!!!!! Do you and I really believe that? Do we really get it? There is so much in that simple 4 little letter word. There is so much power in it!!!!! It has really challenged my prayer life to the point of being CONFIDENT that He hears and will answer. It doesn't mean that the answer will be what Pam wants but what is best and that is where my confidence and hope can be.
So now lets put the words together. Living Hope. We can come to a Living Lord with our Hope!! I can come before Him with whatever is coming at me and ask that He will give me what is needed and KNOW that he will. Is that powerful? Does that give you power? Does that mean that you and I should live differently? Does that mean we should claim that power on a daily basis? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!! I walked out of Sunday School with my head held high realizing that there is nothing that my Living Hope can't handle. He is my Living Hope!!!!!!!!!
What about you? Do you have this Living Hope? Do you want to know more about my Living Hope? Just let me know!!!!! I would love to share it with you!
Pondering,
Pam

Still Pondering Easter!!!!!!!
I have been away for a bit and it's time to get with the program and get things moving. There seems to be so much that I would love to write about and there never seems to be nearly enough time to do it.
Work- It's going well. Life working 3rd shift is difficult but right now it seems to work. Our/My plan/prayer is that I will be able to move into a Weekend Option position. The ability to work on Saturday night and Sunday night and one 8 hour during the week. This sounds really weird but it would be perfect with Kaleb starting school. No after school care, no worries about holidays and early dismissals etc. It would just be the ultimate. Now we wait for the Lords answer and His timing knowing that He does answer His children.
We have a new Sunday School teacher and his method of teaching is something I think that we are really going to enjoy. We are very excited about it!!!! Change can be hard but this is going to be something wonderful! Its amazing what the Lord does and how much He can change us.
This past Sunday was wonderful. We discussed of course Easter but the question was posed...."Why Celebrate The Resurrection?" It was a very profound question that I had never considered. Something that we usually just kind of take for granted. It was something to really think about and I have had it on my mind for the past couple of days. He gave us scripture and I will share that. Yet, the question remains, WHY?
So, let me as you Why do you celebrate The Resurrection? Then I will share with you the scripture and the my thoughts on it!!!!!
Something to Ponder Today,

So much and so little time
This has been such a busy time. Time seems to just fly and it can be very overwhelming at times to the point of saying "please, can we just stop for a while". One thing after another takes your time and energy. I'm amazed every time I write something else in my calendar.
Bo is starting a new job in Greensboro this week. Kind of bitter-sweet I think. He was not looking. They came looking for him. Leaving where he is I am sure is hard because when you work with people day in and day out, become a tight knit group, it's hard to leave. I know that from experience. It will all be good once he gets settled. Congrats!!!! Honey! I love you!!!!
Kyle has officially moved to Raleigh. It was a good move. It was time but for a Mama's heart, it was a little rough. He is doing great and will continue to do so, I am sure. I'm so proud of him I could just bust!!!!!!
Tonya moved into an apartment to. She found a great little place in a great part of town. Close to everything she would need. She's close to a park so she and Little One can go for walks. She is excited and for the first time in a VERY long time, I think she is proud of herself. She is making huge strides in her growing up and I'm so proud!!!!
Kaleb is growing up so very fast. He is now reading the little phonics books. You know the "I can run" books. It's amazing to watch. He is trying to sound out anything he sees. Sometimes he is right on and gets it. Other times require a bit of help. He gets so excited when he's right. Loves the show Super Why on PBS. It's about reading, sounding out words and spelling. He participates just like he is part of the show. I just LOVE it!!!!!!
Well, that's the latest from here. Oh yes, I'm still running like a crazy woman every chance I get. Still planning on October. Still pretending to be "Jillian" to my friends....hahahaha

New Music
Isn't it funny how a new CD makes a difference. I got Mercy Me's CD. Kaleb is all about moving and dancing and feeling the beat here lately. He loves it!!!!! The songs are upbeat and just what he likes. There are also other songs that are slower that I just love. There is one at the end of the CD and it just catches you off guard. Very short. Very to the point. If we do it without Christ, it's all in vain........something to ponder today!!!!!!

It's The Little Things
This past week I was so reminded that its all about the little things. Something so simple that we don't think will really make a difference and we choose not to do it. Simple things like....
sending a card
sending an email
phone call
comment on a Facebook Page that says I'm praying for you.
telling someone they were on your mind.
Its amazing. It has nothing to do with you but has everything to do with Him and sharing Him with others. We are really good at saying "I'm fine" when people ask us if we are ok. We may be fine. If we are GREAT!!!! If we are not, we are being a liar. Yes, I said it!!!! You are lying to yourself and those that are asking you. Sometimes we ask people just because we do it out of habit. Sometimes we really want to know because we know they are dealing with issues.
This past week I was reminded in a huge way. I was driving home from work the other morning and my favorite morning song came on from Mandisa. LOVE IT!!!! Of course it's called...."Good Morning". It's upbeat and I just love it. It's what I need to hear after working an 8 hour or 12 hour third shift. So I decided to send it to people. So I pulled the YouTube and messaged a bunch of people. Got a response from a few. As I am driving, my friend with Fibro text me back and tells me how much she appreciated it and needed it. I continued on to pick up Little Man to head to school. Just praying and driving. Another song pops in my head that Mandisa sings and He basically told me to send it to her. I had to pull over and find it and send it. It was just one of those songs that is what I have heard her say on her blog and her frustration with her Fibro. I sent it to her. Told her that it was just for her. SHE LOVED IT!!! It was such a simple thing. It wasn't nothing major. It didn't cost me a dime. It was simple. It was obedience. Had I chosen to wait and then forget, that is disobedience. Delaying and sending it later on would have still been disobedience. It was great to send something so simple to make such a difference.
All of this being said, if the Lord ask you to do something, no matter what you think, DO IT!!!!!!! It's the simple thing!!!! Don't miss out on the blessing. So here are the 2 songs. First- Good Morning.....just a fun song. The other is "What if we were real!" Just a POWERFUL song!!!!!!

Amazing!!!!!!
This past Sunday we had a sub in out Sunday School class. His name is Don. I have to be honest, I have known Don for a very long time. He has a heart for the Lord. Please hear me that I love our Sunday School teacher, Tom. Don did something that we do typically in class but with a twist.
Don said we were going to go verse by verse. I thought ok, well, we normally do that. He meant it literally. I mean we read verse one and pulled it apart. We would read the next and then the discussion would just erupt. It was just amazing. That is the way I like to study. One verse at a time. It was exciting to hear, talk, discuss, and hear what the Lord was doing in the room. It was powerful!!!!!! Someone even picked up on a portion written in first person and the other in 3rd person. It was amazing. As many times as I have read that portion, I have never noticed.
I was gently reminded once again that His Word is Alive and Active! It is powerful!!!!!
How do you study? Do you study verse by verse? One section at a time? It was an awesome Sunday!!!
