If You Want Me To

When Times are tough I just remember this song, I hope it can bring peace to all of those who need it.

If You Want Me To: Ginny Owens
The pathway is broken And The signs are unclear And I don't know the reason why You brought me here But just because You love me the way that You do I'm gonna walk through the valley If You want me to Chorus: Cause I'm not who I was When I took my first step And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet so if all of these trials bring me closer to you Then I will go through the fire If You want me to It may not be the way I would have chosen When you lead me through a world that's not my home But You never said it would be easy You only said I'd never go alone ya oh oh noSo When the whole world turns against me And I'm all by myself And I can't hear You answer my cries for help I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through And I will go through the darkness If You want me to When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shoutGonna look into your eyes and see you never let me downSo take me on the pathway that leads me home to youAnd I will walk through the valley if you want me to Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Happy Birthday Grandaddy

As most of you know my grandfather passed away a few months ago after suffering from a stroke, a heart attack and many other complications. I think of him everyday in everything I do. For those other than my family, my grandfather was a unique individual..he had these sayings that he would say on a daily basis. He said them so often that we all remembered them and could tell you exactly how he said them. Growing up and to this day I never understood why people hated their jobs or worked somewhere they hated, mainly because my father and grandfather have always loved their jobs and have such a passion for working. My grandfather died at age 84 and until he went into the hospital he was working six days a week. Even when he was sick I never ever heard him complain about work, he loved taking care of people and his patients. I was always impressed with his joy for life because he survived a very difficult time, the regime of batista. For those of you who don't know Batista was the dictator of Cuba before Fidel Castro, and he would kill people every night. He was so awful that the people of Cuba wanted Castro because they didnt think anyone could be worse than Batista, but that wasnt the case. My grandparents wanted their children out of Cuba, so they left for the states, but my grandfather was sent back because they thought he was a spy. For twenty plus years he was separated from his family in a place where people where shot every night. After 20+ years my grandmother got him over here from Mexico and he has been here ever since. He loved his family and my grandmother more than anything in this world. Most of our cuban relatives are in tampa, miami or orlando so when they had the opportunity to get together they had a wonderful time telling stories and singing, it was beautiful to watch. After my grandmother died, a part of him died too. It was comforting to know that when he left us he went to be with her. As I remember his birthday today I am overflowing with emotion and comforted that he gets to celebrate his birth with her, something he has not been able to do in four or five years. Happy Birthday Grandaddy, I love you, miss you, and strive to make your proud everyday.

Quirks!

Tag You're IT!
Ronda at Rondasrants.blogspot.com was tagged by jennifer and now I am continuing the game of tag:) Write six quirky things about yourself:
1. I talk to myself: I move my lips and someone, usually my fiance, points it out
2. I do the same thing every night before I go to bed, wash my face, take my medicine, brush my teeth and bring a glass of water with me to bed
3. I cant stand water on the windshield so even if it is just sprinkling I have the windshield wipers on.
4. I cant stand a change in plans..this is mostly my mother's fault but if plans change I tend to freak out..my fiance is usually the only one who takes the blow of this one.
5. I cant stand being late or running late, a huge pet peeve! I am normally ready atleast 30 min before I am supposed to be somewhere.
6. I love the disney channel, you can make fun of me all you want but I watch it every day!
