| This is what one of our church partners said at an interview that we then saw in a video at our church a couple of Sundays ago. Wow, what a message about dreaming again. I had put off school after my mom had gone home to be with Jesus. I have started three different degrees and never finished any of them. I thought to myself, well I might as well stay where I am, I'm too old and the excuses were endless. Well one day while at work I just logged into the community college website and saw the courses for Human services. I said oh boy I can finish this in no time. I was highly motivated, and decided to go to the advising center. I am able to take two of the classes this summer, but the first barrier came up, one class is on Tuesday nights, I said no way my supervisor is going to let me out for a class. So I prayed, then talked to my boss and praise the LORD she said yes!! Wow!! There is another class, but I did not want her covering all summer long, so the second class I will take online. (So help me God)! When I spoke to my husband about the spring sememster to complete the classes, and that I have to leave work to attend some classes which are all during the day, he worried, thinking who's going to take on the "slack" I said well you are. But this won't be until January 2009, so I am not going to worry. I know the LORD will provide a part-time job for me and they will work around my college schedule. God is GOOD. We also needed a tenant to make ends meet. So I prayed, LORD send me the right person, a female, someone I know and long term renter. So when the thoughts came to my mind I just simply thanked GOD for providing. Well just this past Sunday, while I was napping I heard my phone, I picked it up and it was a friend of mine that I have not seen or heard from in 2-3 yrs. She desparately needed a place to live, and long term. She just went through a bitter divorce, lost her houses and so on. She desperately needed to go to church too. So she came over, I showed her the place, she loved it and she will move in May 10. God is good. I was able to minister to her and she left my home with peace. I can't wait until Sunday, she is going to church with me. Praise the LORD, so I know as I help others, GOD will also meet my needs, HE is my provider and I know now that I can dream again. GOD Bless you all, love, Lucy Rios....

I have Kaylee. She is just so adorable. I am very content with her. She had her first Vet. appt. today. She was well behaved. She is my shadow. She follows me everywhere I go, and when I sit down she wants to snuggle up in my lap. She already knows where to potty and she heads to the right place. I priase her and kiss her every time she does so. Kaylee has brouhgt much joy to my life. I should have gotten two Bichon Frises instead. I have to go to work so it saddens me to leave her alone. But I know she's ok, she has her own room 13 by 15, her food, water, music, toys, pillows and the radio is on. She gets so excited when I get home. The first day I left her on her own, I kept thinking oh no the room will be a mess and I have to clean up the mess. Well to my surprise the room was ok, she used her mat to pee pee and poop (ha ha) and I was so proud of her. Well I missed church on Sunday. I had been up all night with her and I finally got my zzz's around 6:00 am. I guess she was used to sleeping with her littermates, and now she sleeps in her crate in my room. I can't wait to start teaching her some tricks. God Bless everyone, and as soon as my sweet husband gets the pictures we have taken of her I will post them. bye bye for now. Love, Lucy Rios................................

Hi everyone! I went shopping in Building 19 (good stuff cheap) and I came across some books. I was drawn to one particular boo. "IT WAS FOOD vs. ME...AND I WON" The author is Nancy Goodman. In it she explains how to face feelings, feed cravings, make new choices and live a life beyond food. It is not a christian book, but it has a lot of good things in it. So far I have read up to chapter 4. So far so good. And the price was a steal only $2.98! I also picked up puppy toys. Kaylee is arriving tomorrow! Can't wait to see my new girl puppy. Well this is all for now. Take care everyone. Love, Lucy......
