THe smell of rain!

This is so beautiful it brought tears to me eyes, it had more pics but I couldn't get them but just the story is beautiful.


The Smell of Rain








A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs. "I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could. "There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one" Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived. She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on. "No! No!" was all Diana could say. She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw', the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger. But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Dana turned two months old. her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story. One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing. As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?" Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like rain." Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?" Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet. It smells like rain." Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, "No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest." Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children. Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along. During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.


The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not its end.


ANGELS EXIST but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS. _________________________

Sucha Hottie!!!


I've always loved this picture of jesus he just looks so yummy!!!!

I will try!!!

With this post I promise that i will try my upmost and very very best to take some pics soon and hopefully if your really lucky i'll post some. I also want to ask for prayer I've been having some very bad asthma attcks lately I'm oka now but i'm still very weak so please pray for my strength. Love you all and thanks for praying!!!! smooches XXXXX!!!!

He's at it again!


Well, yet again the lord is putting me through the meat grinder of trusting and leaning on him. Its something i've always had a weakness with and something hes always trying to teach me, and sometime i wonder will I ever learn. I mean its easy enough to trust when nothing happening and its all hunky dory but when it starts getting tough then it really starts getting hard. Recently the lord agin brought up a situation that drove me to him and made me trust in him. We went on a faith trip and were supposed to spend a few days witessing and then drive up to canada for a camp there having up there. But we forgot to tell them that we might have whopping cough, so by the time we remembered and told them it was the night before we were supposed to drive their and they prayed and told us they just didn't think it was the best. And to top that off I got two super bad asthma attacks in a row, which really takes it out of you i got so weak i couldn't even walk by myself with out falling. I was so sad and dissapointed and sick I felt so low and then he just said to me just trust stop trying to understand it all stop trying to control it all just trust and know that i am in control and will bring all things through in my time. It was so hard for me but I was like oka i'm trusting you i don't understand why this is happening or all the reasons for it but i'm going to trust you. And just like that i felt so much better, its not that the asthma stopped or that we got to go to the camp but i just felt so much peace and I knew that no matter what happened it was in his hands and his plan and he would work it out.

My Niece







She is sucha cutie I love her!






gotta love it...

( i have a knack for getting myself into messy situations here are some stuff that happened to me lately:)

the home decided to send a witnessing team out and i was picked to go the teams we're terri and kat and me and toshi ( my brother). so we set out terri and kat on one side of the park and me and toshi on the other. after that the events are kind of a blur we talked to about four people got one soul and some how ended up in the wrong place walking along the train tracks ( don't ask me why or how) then we see this little path going off into the woods in the direction of the park. so instead of listening to the warning bells we go ahead and follow it, we're heading along this patha and then it forks so we take to path which leads in the general directin of the park well this path starts to get smaller and more cluttered until finally it not a path anymore so we're walkign around lost int his forest with no idea where the park is. finally we run into some hickers who are also lost thankfully they have a compass and by following them we found our way back the park. The lesson in this story is never follow a path that goes through the forest unless you are prepared to hike which i was not ( i was wearing platforms and a white shirt).



I was coming back from fundraising the other week, we were in the car driving and when i get chilled for some reason i will get asthma. so we're driving and i start to feel cold but due to my proud nature i didn't want to say anything. Sam ( the driver) god bless his soul saw me shivering and closed the windows and lightly scolded me for not telling anyone. But by then it was to late and fifteen minuted later i started to get an asthma attack. so we were trying to get to a gas station to get some coffee ( its supposed to help) and some gas we were about one mile away, by this time my asthma was really bad, and we run out of gas. great! so toshi and JD treid to run to the gas station to get some gas but they got pulled over by a cop whne only ten feet away. thank the lord the cop was really sweet and drove them to get some gas and then drove them back. he even waited to make sure we were all set before he left.

I told you...

Well just like I said in my previous post and due to my nature I have not posted and i've been back for a full two weeks. Sorry!!!
so much has been happening recently that its been hard to just step back and say " whoa". But hard as it is i have stepped back and now I say "WHOA".
I've been teaching, cleaning, fundriasing, planning and all of the above these past few weeks an although I have had time to post I have not.
any way instead of blabbering on about nonsense i'm going to go ahead and post...does anyone every get those feelings where you feel like your caught in the middle of the sea while there's a huge storm blowing through and all you have is a life jacket to keep yo afloat and so your haging on to that life jacket with all thats in you and hoping that soon the storm will stop? yeah, well i'v ebeen in one of those times for the past few weeks and let me tell you I am so glad to have our wonderful love and life vest jesus to keep me afloat.
so much is uncertain right now with people planning on moving on and the state of our home not exactly being all that stable it defintily keep you on your toes.
Its funny the other night i was putting the kids to bed ( it was the parents WNR) and i was thinking about joan and tracy and vicky and tania and all the kids and thinking about all the fun times we had and really missing them. Then i realize as i looked at the ones in my home now how much i would miss each one if and when they move on. Each and everyone i live or have lived with brings so much to the home and me that if they decided to leave i would really miss them. So to all those i have lived with or live with still i love you and would really miss you.
those were just some thoughts i was thinking on, oh to all those who had there birthday within the last couple months and i for got to wish a good one HAPPY BIRHDAY.
well i end this here....
