He has risen!!! And lifted my heart fully!!! I AM FREE!!!!!

Sunday, March 31, 2013

I would like to tell you a little story. It's a very short story, because this story is about today.

Some of you may have seen a couple of my posts about the Highland house has a couple of significant numbers this year. I don't know why these numbers were so special,... but 1 and 3 has repeatedly shown itself for special reasons. For example, on the 3rd month of the year '13, I turned 31. Also, on the 11th month of the year '13, Dillon will turn 13. Dillon is also #1 this baseball season. It's been special since the year has begun. But I never knew why. Until today.... 3-31-13

Today I slept in. And so did Dillon. We woke up roughly about the same time. So I asked him to stay in the living room while I hide some Easter eggs. You know,... since today is Easter Sunday.

His best friend came by while I was hiding them, and I asked him if he wanted to help me hide the rest so Dillon can hunt for them. He helped and then Dillon has a great time finding them.

They then played for awhile, and I went to the back yard to work in the greenhouse and transplant some of the growing veggies into larger containers. 

As I was doing so,... Dillon came around the corner and said "Someone is here to see you."

Then I saw Laci (the neighbors grandaughter) come around, and I said "Hi Laci!"

Dillon said "Noooo, someone else!"  So,.. I was waiting for them to come around the corner.

Slowely walking around, carefully paying attention to every moment, my jaw drops and I am speechless. 

All of a sudden I felt a flood of tears flow down my face. Emotions of the past rushing through my head.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ .

My ex husbands best friend. I once felt betrayed by her and a few others for taking his side and leaving me alone. So. very. alone. 

It has been over 4 years since I have seen her.

She told me that she has driven by my house several times. But today, was the day God chose.

Some time back, she said I kept crossing her mind, over and over and over again. She asked God "Why?Why are you showing me her image after all she has done?" 

By talking with her, I found out all these things he has said about me. About the supposedly bipolar and all kinds of medications I am on.  But what throws me off, is that EVERYONE who knows me,... knows I hate meds. I will even suffer through horrid period cramps and a migrane before I'll even take an aleve. And even my ex husband knew that! But it was just one thing, on top of everything else I heard of what he said. It didn't surprise me. It took her time. More time then a couple others who came to me and asked me to forgive them,... but she now knows the TRUTH. 



But keep reading, because the good part hasn't come yet.




She can obviously tell, I have still held on. It still hurts. I never had closure. I knew knew WHY he left.

After so much drama, she couldn't handle it anymore. She couldn't be friends with him any longer. 

I have learned a few other things. Things that I hadn't known.

I guess all the girls that I knew he was messing around with (I only know because they messeged me on facebook) after our divorce. Things that I didn't care to know. 

He is remarried. His third marriage. A Pastors son.

But let me tell you something else. For FOUR years,... part of my heart has been waiting. I don't know exactly what I have been waiting for. But a sign. In reguards to him. Closure.

Today,... I found out my ex-husband. Someone who I have loved more than any man I have ever known...

Has herpes. And his wife does too.

In my mind, I know him well enough, to know... that's probably why he married her. 




I never thought I would get to hear or see if karma ever exists. But today I witnessed it.

For so long, I have held onto something. But today... of all days... four years later...

God chose a day I am not worthy of, Resurrection day,... to be THE DAY He lays my heart to rest.

3/31/13

My heart is completely set FREE!!! 

My pain that has only been multiplying,... is here no longer!

Thank you Jesus! Thank you!

(P.S. My ex husband-pk has HERPES!!!) if I didn't already say that.


Today... has been one heck of a day.

Aquaponics stock tank garden

Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Alright,... so our little greenhouse is doing good. Better than we thought actually. So now that all of our plants have sprouted, they need to be transferred.

But, I have decided that we are going to begin our next project.

An aquaponics system.

An aquaponics system is basically a tank full of your choice if fish (basically your own fish farm). This tanks water goes through a filtration system (in which you can plan herbs etc straight into clay rocks, no soil needed), then again, the water is delivered to another tank (but shallow) which keeps all of your plants afloat through holes which had been placed into a sheet of styrofoam.

Very excited about this project!

My next project - Dillons Lawn Business Flatbed

Thursday, March 21, 2013
This literally took me half a day to begin and completely finish. Paint and all.

I would say that the hardest part of this project was disassembling the pallet of wood!!

A friend donated her double seat bike caddy to me for my project. Blessed.

Then a neighbor had a pallet of wood he was getting rid of so I asked him if I could have it.

I measured the interior, exterior, length and width. And came up with my own measurement of how I wanted the flat bed to turn out.

(If you'd like my measurements, please contact me)

I added side rails, and a tailgate. The hardware cost me around $7. That's ALL I paid for this project. The paint, my son bought because he wanted to invest a little.

For the hardware, I used just 2 cabinet hinges, and 2 hooks that came with its little circular piece the hook latches into.

The color Dillon chose was "Pepper Grass" by Behr. I stained the interior with a red mahogany (that I already had).

I then took a little bowl to mix 4 parts "pepper green" with 1 part "black" (also already owned). This is how I created the grass art.

Then I just painted our last name on it that matches his business cards.

And whala. Half day project,... complete.















Pitbull Attack Update

48 hours later. Much, much better!

Pitbull Attack Update

24 hrs later. Cleanse #3. It's oozing much less!

Pitbull attack

It truly sucks sometimes that some of the closest people to God, get hurt the most.

Poor baby got attacked by a neighbors pitbull. He got bit 4 times. The dog was quarantined and is now being put down.
