Ann Morgan (Prather)
Hi Everyone, I Know I drop in on a very sporatic basis...just so busy. Work has...Thank the Lord been sooo busy this month.(that mean's a big commission check) iPhone Launch in July, and back to school in August.
Food? I'm trying to loose weight Beth not gain another 200 lbs, syrup and sugar and what else was in that sweet potato recipe,(LOL) I'm with you Scott grilling is best. Salads are rapidly becoming my friend!!
Scott so true on the Hooters comment I got a big laugh out of that one...:)
Scott... I am absolutely no help on the pushing thing. Morgan doesn't have the time to do everything she would like to do. LOL! Morgan is pretty strong willed and smart so I just don't fight her on anything else, but if she's got talent(and Ashley says Abigail does) you gotta encourage that!! :)
Morgan started school..2nd Grade and wants me to walk her in every day.... sorry Scott :(, but I just can't EVERYday. She is getting into that Hannah Montana stage where her clothes have to be just so funky, and not little girly anymore, and it seems as though she is growing up way too fast. She broke her glasses and couln't wear them to school for 1st half of 1st week, she had a little boy-friend, he told her he didn't like her anymore, and got a new girl-friend, when she got to school Thursday with her glasses on. He told her he liked her better without the glasses. I told her she was gonna be a super model someday and he was gonna wish he hadn't said that!!! She says he wasn't that cute anyway and there is a boy in her Sunday school class that goes to school with her and he is much cuter. LOL :) She practically ran to Sunday school class on Sunday, she couldn't wait to get there. Today we went to the Doctor because she nearly passed out on the playground yesterday, he said if she keeps growing like she is she is gonna be 5'10", guess she WILL be a super model. Ha!
Ashley and Beth - I finally found the church for me here, The Lord really made it clear last week. We had a group from the TEEN Challenge in Pasgagoula MISS come in and one of the girls was from Fort Smith and had been in Teen Challenge for 8 mos (drug and Alcohol rehab) for young women, they teach them to build their lives around Christ and use his strength to kick their habits forever. It is a Christ focused program. Anyway I was so moved, I knew about 8 years ago that God's plan for me was to eventually work with women in need, abused or abusers, I believe that all I went through with my husband and all of my personal struggles as a single mom were to eventually bring glory to him through a Christian outreach to women in need. I have taken some pretty big steps and put myself between abusers and other women at times because I knew that the strength God gave me to deal with my experiences was for that very purpose. I know... pretty wild huh? I literally stopped in a parking lot one day and got out of my car and got between some military guy and a girlfriend he was jerking around and called the cops on him. He of course threatened me but I just got right back in his face and told him to shut up already, that if he touched me he would have a lot of time in jail to think about hitting women. He backed off of course, and left before the cops arrived. I also had to have my Ex arrested for assault while I was pregnant, I made a believer out of him he sat in jail for a week 'cause none of his so called friends would bail him out after they found out what he did. Anyway...the mother of the girl from Fort Smith and I met and talked after the service and she also has felt a calling for a program of the Teen Challenge type here in Fort Smith so we are gonna try to get an outreach/helping hand type of program going here. I know God is still nudging me that way after all this time. I just don't see how I will have the time, I know he will work it out though.. He's already got the plans laid out I just have to follow His lead. Thanks for your prayers, I believe I have found the right Church here finally.
Oh Beth... My Mom and I are sitting in the car Sunday afternoon and she starts reading an e-mail from my cousin to my grandmother and just blurts out that she(my Mom), by the way, has a large tumor in her Liver and one on her Thyroid and several on her para-thyroid, (thanks for and when were you planning to tell me MOM?>>> total shock and awe) and they are gonna have to Biopsy them to see if they are malignant. She also informs me that the weight problem I have been fighting and some of the symptoms of hormones issues I have are also the symptoms of "parathyroidism" and that I too should see an endocrinologist, to make sure that I don't have any tumors yet. Hello? when was she gonna tell me this, if my cousin had not found a tumor in her liver I might have never known. Moms oldest sister died of Liver cancer and she says she's known about the tumor for years but there was no concern until they found the others.
