Hello to all.

I apologize for the desertion of my own blog.  There is so much going on at this present time.  It would really help if I could get a little bit of it off my chest.  And, sense a few of you would like an update...here it is:

As far as my mom is concerned, I still do not have any news.  I am worried as she told me that the doctor is worried.  My mother was supposed to get her surgery to remove the cancer on the 28th.  This did not happen.  She had surgery on her stomach back in July.  Well, she is not healed enough from the last surgery so they have refused to perform the surgery she currently needs.  There has been a new date set of Sept. 18.  The problem I am having w/all of this is that the doctor cannot see the cancer and therefore does not know what stage it is in.  The only way they will know is to go on in and take a look.  Those of you that have been diligent with your prayers for my mom I can only request that you would remain a prayer warrior on her behalf.  I will try to not be so self-consumed in the future and update my blog w/regard to her accordingly.

Next, I have started school.  My life is once again non-existent.  I am having a real hard time getting back into the grove of things.  I am going to enjoy all of my classes I already know it ;-).

The horses are doing pretty good but have not been without incident.  There is a new scar on my left leg due to a little mishap with Blue.  His front hoof found its way to the front of my lower leg.  Yep...it sure did leave a mark.  He also decided to continue acting a fool and his chest landed on a post which resulted in quite a few stitches.  He also got one of his hind legs over a five wire high barbed wire fence.  Then good ol Hidalgo ended up running head on into the fence which caused him to flip head first over it.  It has been one thing after the next with those two young dummies.  And to think I thought castrating them would help with those sort of actions.  I will have to post new pics of them cause they are really growing.  I also have a good pic of Blue's wound after busting all the stitches out (when he got in the fence).

As for the Women's Conference...  I am still speaking there.  The invitations have gone out w/my name mentioned!  I will also be leading a workshop there.  The church got the money to fly me home for the weekend.  I am excited but have not really started w/the preparations like I need to.  God will work in this though...I just know it!

My relationship with God is growing.  Now if He will just send me a man! I am not that worried about it but I do find myself thinking about it often. 

Oh I can't forget work.  It is really moving along.  I am making some progress w/the girls.  There is a mutual respect that is growing between them and myself.  I have 3 girls and 2 babies living within the home currently.  One of the girls is due in November.  I am anticipating the delivery of the new baby...it is going to be an exciting time!  I will hopefully get to take her to the hospital.

Thanks to those of you that have not given up on me.  I do enjoy writing here and getting feedback from you.  Life is just consuming me though.  Have you ever felt that way?  I think I need training in time management.
