Family!!!

I went with my husband today to go look at my future Mustang and we actually ended up looking at two of them. I almost felt weak in the knees knowing how long it has taken to reach this goal of mine and there I was making a deposit on my future dream car with my dream man. I don't know in actuality which one I am getting just yet but will be absolutely tickled regardless of which one. They both need about the same amount of work just in different areas on each one and one is prettier to look at and their color is the only differences I saw but by the time this car will be ready to drive, I will know it like the back of my hand!!!

(Never thought this day would come!!!)

I sit up in bed not able to sleep again because I am just so excited about my new found love for my husband after being healed and delivered at a church revival recently and also having my lungs and organs healed up and told I have a new blood stream and walking a brisk 5 mile walk, my marriage is being healed and restored from where it was once broken and shattered in a billion pieces, God is making a way where there is no way for us and for me!!!

(My God is so BIG, My God is so GREAT, there's NOTHING my God CANNOT DO!!! I have been made a new creation in Christ Jesus, and I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!!!)

I am also preparing for the arrival of my fully disabled mother because she is coming to live with my family and I within a months time and I am getting nervous trying to get the girls situated and the house ready for all of that as it is going to take alot of adjusting for all of us. We have to drive down to pick her up, and get the things to accomodate her and her needs and quickly. Please pray for us and know that through it all even though there have been a few close calls, I never felt smoking would help matters but still craved for a moment and just that fast it was gone again and I am here to stand tall, head high and proudly say I am still holding strongly onto my quit for dear life and doing the very best I can with what I know for a fact I do have control over and praying for the rest!!!

My love to ALL of you, I will keep everyone posted as things move along! I love you ALL!!! Hugs and my prayers for all of you...Look forward to hearing from everyone. I miss you guys, sorry I've been away so long.

❤️ Love, Carolyn/MustangSally

Hi Carolyn Wow you have alot going on first it is wonderful that you have been renewed in Christ Jesus that is a miracle in itself isn't it !!!! I am so happy for you and it is also truly wonderful that you and your marraige are  being healed ! I think Commitment in marraige  is so important to God.... now He is the head of your Union !

I also think it is so great that you are going to care for your Mom in your home . I work in Nsg homes and it is a hard place for one to end there life in . Sometimes it has to be and that is why I love my job I try to make the residents as comfortable and happy as I can but lets face it ....there is no place like home and home is not just your own house but family ....where the heart is .

Loved hearing from you Carolyn you have a lot on your plate but it also sounds like you have a lot of love to give !

Carolyn - 218 hard fought for days.  BRAVA lady!  You are lookin' beautiful!  Don't you dare let go of it now that your life is about to undergo a major change.  There are bound to be new stresses.  Don't let them be an excuse to revert.  You're SO FAR from a Day One.  And you really don't want to go back there.  Because it won't relieve the stress, it will only relieve that momentary craving which will pass whether you smoke or not.  And you'll be back to wishing you HAD,  instead of where you are now which is knowing you DID quit.  So keep that chin up and chest proudly stuck out.  Like a  great grand bird.  Cravings roll off your feathers and you'll go after anything that threatens your quit!  Glad you're finding strength in the Lord.

I am ELATED for your new found freedom in Christ Jesus.  Yes, you CAN do anything through His power.  Stay close to your church, and stay close to this site.  What a miracle for your family and your love for your husband to be restored!!!

You are on an extreme high now, but remember there will still be some hard days.  Always remember that your emotions have nothing to do with your relationship with Jesus.  Sometimes, you may feel down or have a bad day, but He will never leave you or forsake you.

HAPPY HAPPY FOR YOU!!
