Things I'm thankful for....

1. That Heather loves me!
2. That I'll always have friends that care about my life...and vise versa!
3. That MBS and her husband are great people and came to see me. You win for the most trips to see me so far!
4. That Ashley is in children's ministry and understands the burden and love that this job is!!
5. That even though our mee-maw roles change, get re-defined, get added on too, or dissolve, one thing remains...we're friends.
6. That despite how unworthy I am, God still continues to work in my life in amazing, incredible ways.

The End!

More updates

So...my dad actually had a heart attack. He's been in the hospital since Sunday morning. They thought that he may have just choked, but the test that they ran on Sunday and all day Monday showed that he did have a heart attack.

He's ok. Just trying to get him to calm down some. He still has pneumonia on top of all of this from inhaling stuff into his lungs as he was having the heart attack.

But he's doing good. The man has 9 lives I swear.

I'll keep you updated!

Update

Here's a really quick update on a lot of stuff.

1. Talked to my brother on Thursday night. He's 30, lives in Georgia and has had a heck of a life. Meaning, when he was 16 he went rebellious and has lived a pretty hard life since. But, he's straightened up since then and seems to be on a better track. He asked a lot of questions, I gave some real honest answers. Lots of emotions being brought up that I don't really want to deal with, but the fact that I get to meet my brother out of all of this makes it worth it.

2. Dad almost died yesterday. I left the New Hope around 6:30 yesterday morning headed back to ATL and by the time I got here, I got a phone call saying that daddy was in the hospital. At the nursing home that morning he got choked on his breakfast and was without air for some time. When they finally got it dislodged he inhaled some of it into his lungs and now pneumonia has set in. He's still in the hospital but seems to be doing ok...a little shaken up by the whole thing. But he's ok. He should be going back to the nursing home sometime today or tomorrow.

So that's it...my life...one big Oprah moment after another!

It's a boy??

So before some of you going freaking out about that subject line...i'll get right into an explanation.

Most of you may know that I am adopted. I've known this fact all of my life and have truly been blessed by the outcome.

Many of you also know that because I'm adopted by family, and in recent years I have been able to meet my biological brother and sister (from my birth father's side) and their families.

Well tonight I have received the news that another biological brother (this time from my birth mother's side) has opened up his adoption files. Because he was not adopted by family, his records have remained sealed until now, and it has been at his request that they be opened.

A case worker has contacted my adopted mother and hopefully by the end of the week, I will know if there is a chance that I will be meeting my biological brother.

So...needless to say...I'm excited, thrilled and scared to death at the same time. If nothing else my prayer has always been to know that he's ok and to know that he was raised in a good family. I now know that both are true.

So...I ask for your prayers this week. Please pray that I will have wisdom in decisions that I have to make. Whether the outcome is the way I want it or not, God has already answered prayers through all of this. He is so good and so faithful...in the big and small things of our lives.

I love you all and hope and pray that your week is amazing as well!

Love, Christy

It's back

That lump in my throat that I carried around last year, meaning that I felt like I was going to cry at any minute. Last year it came because I was going through hell with some friends of mine from home, and because God was getting me ready for the biggest move in my life.

But now what is it? Is it because I thought things were going to be so much different here but the truth is you can't out run your demons. Or is it because things really are different here...and that scares me. Or maybe just because I'm homesick and feel like I have a world to shoulder sometimes.

Whatever the reason is why it's back...I wish it would leave.

On a few updating notes. And please don't comment to much on these since the world apparently reads this thing.

1. A week down!
2. Pray for me Monday at 1:45...Marie it's your turn now!
3. I get my car back this week. Dang deer!
4. I love and miss you all!!! Really bad! Who wants to plan a get together!!??
