What a GRAND day!!

Wow....that is seriously all I have to say. I awoke this morning to little Miss Shelby Jean telling me I needed to check my email. Little did I know what I find in my inbox. COMMENTS!! My husband knows me so well...he knows that I love to blog and absolutely love getting comments(which I don't get very often), so what better gift than to fill my comment box! I was so blown away that so many people took the time out of their day to not only read my blog, but to leave a comment! I would check my email periodically throughout the day to see what new messages were coming in....I was seriously like a giddy 6 year old on Christmas morning.



The sweet things that were written were just a blessing and I needed tissues after some of them. What was even cooler than being blessed by the kind words was just knowing that someone had looked at my blog. You see, I started blogging to keep family updated. ALL of our family lives away from us, so I wanted to do it to put up pictures...funny stories about the kids...just what was going on in Blazi land. As I got more into it I started to write things that God was showing me, teaching me, or doing in my life. I started to have a desire to truly use this site as a ministry. Is every post I write one that is going to minister to people.......no, but I believe God can even bless people through my nutty humor. I am by no means a good writer, use correct grammar, or more spiritual than others. I just write what's in my heart. Sometimes it's bad...sometimes I love what comes out. My prayer is that God would continue to bless this crazy blog and minister to someone in need...someone who is hurting. That is why I do what I do....and most of the time I do it, there is a screaming child in the background....just keeping it real people!



Thanks again for literally making my day yesterday......65comments in all....can I get a woot woot!! I love my man for doing this for me and I thank you each for putting up with my ramblings long enough to get to the comment box. What a great day it was! I hope that people come back and keep reading about this path that God has me on....what a grand path it is!

Happy Belated Birthday!!! I'm so not into this internet thing, it took me and Joey to figure out how to send you back a message. Oh well... better late than never at all. I hope that you had a wonderful day and it sounds like you did. I know that I'm never around much, but probably would never have another opportunity to tell you that I have always admired you and your spirit. Your always smiling even with 4 kids hanging from you. My kids need alittle more of that from their own mom. I enjoyed looking at your site and will visit again I'm sure. Blessing to you and your beautiful family.

HA! So, I just had to leave another comment to say...I'm still reading :) I read your blog all the time, I just never leave a comment. Which is probably what a lot of other people do as well :) Anyways, you are such a blessing and your blogs always make me smile. I love you Mrs. Genie, and I hope your post birthday - day is just as blessed :) Love, Tiff

OH my word! Tell your sorry husband to email a sista next time he wants to birthday surprise you! That way next time I can spare you the rendition of "Happy Birthday" by the Rainwater's at 8:30 in the morning...since you were on the phone with your "mom" at 8:00 getting a sweet birthday call first thing...oh, and me and punkin don't really think he is so sorry, just don't tell him how I really feel. I would hate to ruin our relationship.
You're the BESTEST!
Lovin' ya!
Steph
Oh and you are currently one year older than me...now that calls for a BIG WOOT WOOT!
