Just wanted to share.

Bennie has been so cute lately. One of the things that had me in stitches is the other day we were listening to the song NO NOT ONE that says: "there's not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No not one No not one" None else can heal all our souls diseases, No not one No not one. any way Bennie was singing along with it every time it came to the part that it said no not one. Until all the sudden he busts our with "oh yes two, oh yes two"... So funny.

Then the other morning my mother asked me to pray for a friends baby who was just born and not breathing on his own. So I prayed out loud and Bennie was there and when I said amen he asked if he could pray too. I said that he could and this was his prayer " God, Could you make them better, they are a little bit sick right now. Jesus name amen." it was so touching to me...

Oh, and the other day I was telling Ben that it seems we can tell that Bennie really loves "junk food" because we've been eating healthier lately and Bennie eats it just fine but it takes him forever to finish. The other night we had Hotdogs and french fries and I never heard a peep out of him until he asked for more. He gobbled it right down. And I said Of Course he'd love the junk food. Well apparently Bennie heard me say this to his dad because the next day when he prayed for his food he said "Jesus, Thank you for my junk food, amen"... LOL :D

I love the stage Bennie is at right now, he is so cute and innocent. I love how pure his prayers are and how innocent some of the things he says are.

He's perfect... My beautiful beautiful BOY!

It's been a while

So it's been a while since I last posted. Unfortunately not a lot going on worth talking about. Except one thing. Please pray for a certain part of our family. It's not us but in our extended part of our family. I can't disclose any information but God knows who you'll be praying for and what's going on. It really urgent so please hold them up before the Lord.
Bennie will be turning 4 on the 4th of next month. He has decided that he wants a fishing party.... That doesn't mean we are going fishing... Too cold for that with little ones. But he's asking for supplies for his tackle box(he needs a tackle box too) and a fishing pole so he can go fishing with his grandpa's when all the white snow is all gone.
My friend Marcia and I are going to make a fishy cake for him... We actually found a cake recipe that is dairy and gluten free so we are going to try it for him. I think she'll be doing most of the work as I am not talented in that area. I can bake but only if it's like 3 or 4 easy steps. LOL :)

Remembering Ali

In Loving Memory of Alirene Maybelle Lewis
April 20, 2007-January 9, 2008

A Sweet Spirit you did show
Eyes of blue that seemed to glow

A terrible illness it did move
Your little body did not improve

But God's plan did unfold
When He took you home to hold

Now your body is brand new
And our hearts are a little blue

Thanks You God for Heaven
Where we can see Ali again

Remembering Ali with love,
Mommy

thoughts. & please pray...

So yesterday went rather smoothly. Unfortunately we didn't do much. I just took time thoughout the day reflecting over memories of Ali. I posted a writing of the first moments of reflecting. I made it a point to think of her at the same hour of her final hour. This writing can be found in the one right before this one.
There's a family I would like you to pray for. This teenager was supposed to be at our Church's Youth Rally today.Happens she was killed in a skiing accident. Please pray for her family. You can find the full story at 9&10news.com

An Indiana family is mourning the loss of a 16 year-old girl who died in a Northern Michigan ski accident. Police say she lost control and hit a tree Thursday night and died at the hospital.

They say Amanda Vignere was from Cedar Lake, Indiana and was on a church youth group ski trip to Treetops Resort near Gaylord when the accident happened.
Treetops General Manager Mike Fernandez said, "Our thoughts and prayers certainly go out to the family of this young lady involved last night."

16 year-old Amanda Vignere was skiing with a group of church friends when they lost sight of her. Police say she was a novice skier going down an advanced-level slope.

"The young lady was going down the ski hill and lost control and slid into a wooden section and had struck her head on a tree," Michigan State Police Sgt. Denny Reynolds said.

Amanda was not wearing a helmet, but skiers are not required to wear them in Michigan.

"It's a safety feature, not unlike the safety belts in your car," Tim Webster, Dan Webster's Pro Shop manager, said. Helmets can help in accidents, but not always.

"It's an activity you can get hurt in. Some people just get hurt more than others, and its unfortunate that it had to happen," Webster said.

And accidents do happen on any ski hill, but Webster says some can be avoided with a few safety tips: "Just being aware of your ability, more importantly, your surroundings and who is in your peripheral vision and who's behind you."

Treetops says they have a commitment to safety and will continue to make safety a priority.

"The owners and all the employees here are very committed to keep every ski terrain as safe as possible every time, every single skier," Fernandez said.

Vignere's autopsy was scheduled for Friday afternoon, but the results have not yet been made available.

MY SWEET BABY













At this time last year, 12am-12:30am Jan 9th, I was holding my baby girl in my arms as I watched and felt her go.
I miss her SO much.


Did you know I think of you?
Did you know how much I miss you?
The days go by but the pains still there.
The emptiness is so heavy it can consume
There are so many things I wish I could say
A ton more I wish I could do with you
I want to hold you and kiss your head, cheeks and toes.
I want to play pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo
Dress you up in cute little dresses and pretty hair things too.
To hear you laugh and say mommy. I never got to hear you talk.
Watch you play with Bennie or scream when he takes away your toy
See you watching him the way you always did
To witness the cuddles you gave Daddy
The pretty grin that was just for him
Watch you dance and bop your head
Hear you sing in your girly voice
You'd be running all around finding things to get into
Jumping on beds with brother and tackling Daddy.
Helping mommy make the Kool-aid
Baking cookies and getting into my make-up
Bed time prayers and special songs
Baby girl, I miss you
Ali, I love you
Alirene, I will not forget you.
You were so many things to me.
You were MY girl
You were OUR baby
We were so blessed to have you.
You are forever in my heart Sweet Ali!
Forever loved,
Momma
