Daily lifes

Hi friends,

Well i was asked to do a eulogy at friend's funeral on wed. I was so honored to say yes but worried i will mess up or dont have the right things to say . But i know in my heart the lord will be with me and that family that day . I know i am not alone when i go to stand up and speak because i have a great lord above who is always with me and you threw our daily lifes.

I cleaned house today and spent alot of time with family and laughing and giggling etc with the kids. its always good to see them laughing and having fun as a family . I hope you were able to spend time with your family this weekend and enjoy the things that the lord gives us in our daily lifes.

As i am closing i want to ask that you go and spend a few mins on what god has done for you in your every day lifes. and share it with those who dont know him as well as you do . You never know when someone you speak too is going to need that chat with ya. We go on our daily lifes but sometimes we dont realize some people are just waiting to talk to someone or needing to reach out to them. RIP LISA O


Love always

Juliet

Death

HI ,
I come with a sad heart today . One of my friends has passed. I am lost with words. Today i go visit the family and i just pray i have the right words to say . Its so hard to loose someone who is so close. I remember when my father passed its still so fresh to my memory to this day . Sometimes i just sit and say Why lord. i know we aren't suppose to ask why because he has his reasons but some times its so hard. But i know My father is in a special place now and one day i will be there.

Death isn't a easy thing to deal with Most of all of us has been threw it . SO before its too late make sure you say everything to the ones you love and share every minute you can with your loves ones because before you know it the lord will take us and put us in a better place.

have a great weekend
Love
Juliet

Love
Juliet

Sharing a recipe a friend in New York sent me . I am not sure if i will ever make it but she swears its yummy lol.


ENjoy
BEAN BARS

2 cups cooked beans [chichi, kidney, pinto, or navy beans] Instead of buying and cooking the beans, I used a 15.5 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 3 times.
2/3 cup dried milk
1 cup wheat flour
2/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 egg whites, beaten
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup molasses
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup olive oil [I used canola oil]
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon allspice
1 cup raisins

1. Mash beans into a paste.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients.
3. Stir to mix.
4. Pour into 8 x 8 pan
5. Bake at 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
You can also use pears or other fruit to replace the applesauce.

I put all the ingredients, except the flour and spices, into my blender and made the paste out of it. Then I mixed the flour and spices together and put them into the blender, along with the raisins. Blended all that well.

This is very good, taste like a spice cake with raisins in it.

Good moring

Good morning

Just stopping by to say hello. I am cleaning house and getting ready for our day camp for scouts. I am doing crafts (indian stuff) so its going to be alot of fun. I hope this post finds you healthy and wise. Enjoy the beauty of the nautre today . Go out into nature and see his beauty that he has created for you and me.


Living for Him,
Juliet

HOWDY

HI there

Well i know its been a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long time since i posted here. Thought i would just drop a few lines since i know some still read this crazy thing.

We are all doing so well i can only thank god for keeping us going. HE works in so many ways in our life's some times i just sit back and watch. I had decided a while back i wasn't going to journal online but i have decide i would give it a try again . But i think i will keep this more of a every day type post (things that are open) and keep my personal blogging to my kids journals that i started when they were babies.

I want to shout out to all the father's HAPPY FATHERS DAY. Please give your children's all your attention . That's one thing i will always have a long for My father who isn't with me . SO some times i look up to certain ones who are father figures just to have that feel of love from a father. I love my dad so much and it was a very short 21 years of life with him but i will cherish every minute second and hour and day and year that i had with him. He died with a big heart and so i know he lived a full life. HE will always be in my heart . SO if you are reading this Be strong and be there for your children. I LOVE YOU DAD (RIP )
Happy fathers day to you all and also my father and grandfather



Well i will post again tomorrow or this week i have scouts camp all week .

Love always
Juliet

WOW Do you know how hard it is to tell someone you aint going to the family reunion. I havent missed a reunion since my dad died in 1999 (maybe one plus this one ) . Its always in July . Due to things and work and stuff i am not able to go . It kills me I love seeing those people . I some times hate living in houston because i am not there near my family . But i am planning to go end of july or august so i will see them there .............ok never mind guess i am missing my family .

Well we are all doing well . I am in the process of getting all my college mess(long story) fixed so PRAY that i do get a grant to go back to school in august. I am wanting to take some night classes or online classe .......even weekend if its open. This is a dream for me to finish school i am praying before i turn 35 i have a bachlor's or masters . I know i can do it .

I am back on FOCUS ( june just wasnt a month ) on dieting again i didnt stop in june i just didnt focus on what i was eating etc. So after all this rain goes away its HELLO TRACK . Plus i am planning alot of things with the kids so i can stay busy and out of the kitchen . lol

Kids are well . Karley has a mushroom hair cut. I cried i didnt want her hair cut but it was tangled and she doesnt want to keep a pony tie in it . SO off we cut. Bailey is enjoying the summer .

Well i am closeing HAPPY JULY 4th FRIENDS PLEASE BE SAFE

LOVE ALWAYS
THE MURRAY S

Hold your close ones near for you never know

WOW a pro wrestler who we like a lot was found dead and his family today . WOW watching his tribute on TV brings back thoughs and memories. . Makes me think YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN its your time . Never forget to say something to your love ones no matter what time of day or what fight you had with them Always let them know you love them . I remember when my dad died Its like it was yesterday i remember DETAILS of his last moments and to this day i wish i had spent more time with him . But i was a typical teen . But I know he knows i loved him and i know he loved me . One day we will be there with our loved ones but for now the ones that are near Give them a extra hug or kiss ................. You never know what God has in store for them or you tomorrow .

Tell a loved one today you love them and what they mean to ya .

RIP CHRIS BENOIT

Well this month coming up my goal is to take the estimated amount of around 100.00 a week i spend down to 50.00 or less. Yes its possible . So thats one goal i am working towards. (if i make it for the whole month i might get my new printer all in one that i so badly need. Next goal is my weight as always but i am watching (diet wise lol) what i eat and plan on working at gym and track . and STAYING UP AND MOVING instead of being a couch potato.


We are doing well Bailey starts summer school next week and june.

Then we will do the normal of outings zoo, resale shopping, chuckie, park, swimming etc.
