My Great Grandmother

Hi everyone! I wanted to blog tonight on my great gma, Virginia VanHook. She is 98 years old. She still lives in her own home. While we were in Nashville over Thanksgiving, she fell inside her home. They thought she had a stroke, but she did not. My Mom and Aunt have been taking turns staying with her ever since Sunday. They stay with her at night, then get her up and help her dress and make sure she is ok in the mornings. Because of the fall she has been unable to walk on her own. We went by to see her Sunday before we left Nashville, and she seemed so tired. Please say a prayer for her if you would. She is such a strong person, but age is catching up with her, and she's beginning to get tired. I pray that she is not in too much pain. She is a wonderful person, and has done so much for my Mom. I'm thankful for the longevity of her life and admire her strong spirit.




Here is a picture of her when she came to visit us in Mississippi in early October.

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
