Memories....Stuck

I've finally jumped on the bandwagon & started my own personal blog! Don't get me wrong, I've "blogged" for some major life events before blogging was really popular, so its not completely new to me.

As you begin to check out my new site, you may have noticed there is a ton of information for 2002 & 2005...thats from my other blogging days where I documented some major life events that were happening at the time.

Its funny the way my mind tends to think of life events. As I copied these entries from their previous location to include them here, I realized how much I have not done for Amanda and how important the 'other' life events really are.

As I attempt to remember the bits & pieces of her life the last 4 years, I feel as though I have totally cheated her! Where has the time gone? Where is all the important information that I've laughed, cried, & rejoiced in over the years?

I'll tell you where it is...its somewhere in the back of my mind...stuck...just waiting to be remembered, written down & shared with others, but most importantly, Amanda.

So this is my humble attempt to begin digging up the lost facts that surround my life & sharing recent ones as they come along before they too 'get stuck'.

Come along & enjoy the Journey with Jamie!

Mom's Overture

Hilarious!

I came across this a couple weeks ago & just busted a gut laughing! So much of what he says in this song is true!

Let Yourself Shine

A Mothers Prayer

A Mothers Prayer
Little Ones Bible Prayers ~ By Erin Colton

Light my candle Holy Spirit
Place thy Holy flame in me
Light my candle Holy Spirit
Shine for all the world to see

Let is shine upon my baby
Let it shine in his heart tonight
Guide each step oh Lord with
thy flame inside
And keep the candle burning bright

Light my candle Holy Spirit
Place thy Holy flame in me
Light my candle Holy Spirit
Shine for all the world to see

Let it shine up on this way Lord
Let it shine no matter what the cost
As the years pass away this one
prayer I pray
May it lead to thy precious cross

Light my candle Holy Spirit
Place thy Holy flame in me
Light my candle Holy Spirit
Shine for all the world to see

Let it shine upon my baby
Let it shine in his heart tonight
Guide each step oh Lord with
thy flame inside
And keep the candle burning bright

And keep the candle burning bright
And keep the candle burning bright

Remember - You are a Sister

For those that know me & my children...this layout was very hard yet therapeutic for me. I was completely submersed in it, klove playing quietly in the background (via internet since Dallas area isn't fortunate enough to have it yet!)...suddenly I found myself listening to the radio...taken quickly out of my deep thoughts and heard Jake's song "We Live, We Love" by Superchic. As if I wasn't bawling enough already...that really set me off...as if He was with my kiddo's at that very moment sending their encouragement my way.

Thanks for the great challenge and for pushing me to do layouts that I knew I've wanted to do, yet couldn't find the words or thoughts to do them.
