Life"s Blessing and Trials

WELCOME...............


Thanks for dropping by my page. My name is Pam. This is my very first time blogging, so please bear with me. I read and follow, so many interesting blogs and thought I might as well give it a shot.
I think my hesitation to not begin blogging before now, was because I was afraid it would be too time consuming. 
I feel I have so much to share and love meeting new people, even if it is across the web.
I am a mother, grandmother, wife, homemaker and learning coach. I am raising my 2 beautiful granddaughters, ages 9 and 11, with the help of God and my husband. I have been homeschooling them for 3 yrs. now. I must say its an adventure. 
We are learning to F.R.O.G. daily......(hence, my blog title), which simply means, Fully Rely On God!!.  
I have so many blessings in my life, that there isn't enough paper to even begin to list every one of them. Though I have lost my mother, father and beautiful daughter to cancer, I know God has a plan for me and through all my sorrow and life trials, He has never let me down and has always been with me, sometimes, walking beside me, sometimes carrying me, but always comforting me. 
These 2, wonderful grand kids of mine, make my life so much sweeter. We are learning new things each day. I am so grateful and blessed, that they are a part of my everyday life.
I have 3 fabulous daughters, however, my 2nd daughter, lost her battle with brain cancer, in September 2009. It was the hardest and worst day of my life. I have a wonderful husband, who loves my granddaughters like his own and they him. 
I grew up going to church, when I was a young girl,  but slipped away and didn't attend, for many yrs. Then, in 2004, my granddaughters came to live with me. I started taking them to a tiny church, with a pastor I had know since kindergarten. 
I struggled in my walk with God for a few yrs. even after attending services regularly. 
My turning point was during the stay at the hospital, in Dallas, Texas, as I watched my 31 yr. old daughter slipping away. The peace, comfort, love, and calmness, God supplied to me, throughout this most difficult time in my life, hit me like a lightening bolt. It is hard for me to explain, even to this day.
You must understand, I shared a most unique, special, mother/daughter bond with this child of mine, we thought  many thoughts at the same time. She was the first person I spoke with on the phone each day and the last person, I spoke to before bed each night. Though there is a whole in my heart I know will never be filled, I am grateful for the time my saviour allowed, me to borrow her, here on earth. She is my inspiration and my hero.
I still find myself, every day, planning my to do list and what needs to be done and when.....but then I stop and think and decide that for today, I will F.R.O.G. !! 

My daughter Kelly Jo...............R.I.P.
