Well it is almost Christmas!

Well Cliff and Mom are coming down tomorrow from up north. I am looking forward to spending time with the family. I really can't wait to see Kaiya as it has been like forever since I have seen her. I hear though she is growing like a weed and talking up a storm. I am looking forward to the fact that Mom and Cliff are coming to Christmas Eve service. Thank you GOD for all you have done for me in 2008 and are going to do in 2009!

This is my good friend Jenny, she truly is a blessing from God.

This picture was taken at her daughter's wedding in July. What a beautiful lady she is and always will be both inside and out.

Bless you Jenny.

What a blessed Sunday! I got a hippotamus for chirstmas.

Well last night was the young adults Christmas dinner and it was great. Becca, Kerrie and Val did a great job. After we went to the Boyce house up in Port Perry where we just relaxed and chit chatted and had some brie balls. Mrs Boyce yet again blessed me as she contently sat and listened to what has been going on in my life.

I don't remember who preached this but it was said in our church and in the bible "if you ask you shall receive", so I was telling Becca and Mrs Boyce that I wanted a hippopotamus for Christmas and I got one. Becca truly blessed me. His name is Fluffy. lol

Loving One Another

1 John 4:7-21

7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
13 And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 14 Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19 We love each other because he loved us first.
20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.

Fun in the Sun

Just wanted to show you all how silly I could be. The glasses were given to me by my mom for my 30th birthday.

BLESSED AGAIN!

Was blessed again today. Got to spend time with Leticia. She is a great little kid who I am glad I get to watch her grow. Coutneeey is what she calls me and I am truly blessed by that name. lol
Had a AWESOME dinner of roast beef and rice and other things. Bless Lu for cooking.

The YOUTH Talent Show At Church!

Wow, what talented Youth we have at our church. God has done some great things in those kids lives and it had been nice to watch some of them grow. Sarah's poem was great, it really makes you think about the unsaved and what goes through their heads until the realize that God is the way and he is the only one worth living for. Gabi did a great job singing and playing the paino. I am so proud of them both.

We have an awesome group of youth and I am glad they belong to OCC.

Had a GREAT Day!

Today I spent sometime with my mom and her friend Judy and had a very blessed day shopping.

Thanks Mom and Judy.
You're the best!

I am so Blessed

Today was a Blessed day. I got to spend time at the Pastors house as I was watching Leticia, so Pr Chris and Frank could go to an Elders meeting. I had dinner with them and I got to meet Pr Frank's nephew Jonathan. He is a very good kid. Gabi did her homework then we watched some Full House. I was truly blessed by all. All the kids were great and that makes the job easier for me. I was able to bless the Pastors by having the dinner dishes done so that they wouldn't have to do them.

Be Blessed!

One of my favourite songs in the world!

This is a very beautiful song about not letting time fly by and cherish every moment you have with your children. You never know this will be your last. I listen to this song and I think of Pr Renee, she has a voice of an angel and sings this song beautifully. When I was in South Carolina, there is where I heard this song for the first time and of course I cried. So if you get a chance to listen to this song, grab your kids and hold on.

This song really bless my heart as you know Steven Curtis Chapman loves kids with all is heart and is a great father. Something I don't have. I do though have great father figures in my life and I am ok with not having a father figure like I want.


Cinderella
Steven Curtis Chapman

She spins and she sways
to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearing
the weight of the world on my shoulders.

It's been a long day
and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
and I need to practice my dancing
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something
the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She says he's a nice guy
and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,
And I need to practice my dancing"
"Oh please, daddy, please!

"So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh,
I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone shewill be gone

Well, she came home today
With a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
but I need to practice my dancing"

"Oh please, daddy please!"So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh
I will dance with Cinderella I don't wanna miss even one song, (even one song)
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone

Mom and Cliff.

I just wanted to show you all a picture of Cliff and that is my mom with him.

My Mom-The Rock!

This picture of my mom was taken Jan 25/2007 in Punta Canta for my 30th brirthday. I was very blessed from my Mom and Step-father Cliff to get a present like that. I had a great 30th birthday. I put this on my blog because I want everyone who reads this to know how much I love Sandy Richardson-Craddock-My Mom.

You see when she was younger she was burnt as a child so she has a scar on her back from her hip to her shoulder blade. Then she was married for 12 years and that ended in a divorce. She had to work 3 different jobs when this happened to keep us afloat. As I was growing up I never went with out. My mom provide for me as if there were 2 parents in the house when there was only 1. Then she was 39 and got thyroid cancer and had both her thyroids removed. She now takes thyroid pills to act as if she had a thyroid. Then she had radiation. Then in March of 2006 she had brain tumors removed. If you were looking at her it would be the front right, thats where the tumors were removed, but you can't tell unless you feel her head. Her skull had to be removed so they could get to the tumors and it was replaced with a hard pieces of plastic.. I think there were 3 tumors that had to be removed. The tumors were non cancerous, Praise God. I can testify to the Power in prayer. I am not strong like my mom but I do know that I love her with all my heart. We don't have the best relationship but I want her and all who read this to know how much I love her. She is the strongest person I know and I wouldn't trade her in as a mother for anything. She is suck with me and I am stuck with her. Love ya mom! Ps: I tell you all this not to have pity on my Mom but I want you to know how strong she is and what she did for me. This the short version of what she has done and continues to do. Someday if you ask, I might give you the log version.

This is the Port Perry Boyce Family. I say that because we have two Boyce family's in our church so I want to clarify for anyone who reads this who this family is.

In the back to the left is Degory Boyce and Mr. Boyce. In the front to the left there is Noemie(she is not a Boyce yet but I think it will happen someday when it is GOD's time), then in the middle there is Mrs. Boyce and to the right there is Rebecca Boyce.

I put them on my blog because they are all very special people to me. Although I don't see Mr and Mrs. Boyce all that much, they make me feel loved when I do see them or have to talk to them, when I phone Rebecca to remind her about nursery. You can tell that Mr and Mrs Boyce are married for life and I hope that I can have a marriage like there's. Now I know that nothing is perfect but I see how much love they have for each other and the kids and grandkids and that is the way I want things to be when I get married. Like Pete and Janine, Mr and Mrs Boyce I want to be MARRIED FOR LIFE! Thanks for being such good role models.

Annie Mills And Cassy Jackson!

Here is Annie Mills and Cassy Jackson

Bless you Pete and Janine! Miss you

Now let me tell you about the Jeffs Family


Cameron Jeffs: Well, he is a very funny person who has a heart for the lost and a father's attitude, to those who don't have a father figure in there life. He is there to pray with you and give you wise advice. He is also there just for a big old hug.
Sandra Jeffs: Beautiful women of God, Worship leader, daughter, wife, mother, friend, who could ask for anything more!
Josiah and Hannah Jeffs are my little buddy's who I miss a lot.
Caleb Jeffs is just a cute kid

Bless them all

Chris Bates, one of the greatest Chris's I know

This is Chris Bates and let me tell ya about Chris Bates. He is a very kind young man who has respect for his elders and treats people with kindness and respect. I traveled home with him in a BIG old van for 18 hours to South Carolina in June and I was very blessed by his attitude. CHRIS BATES ROCKS!

The Moose is on the Loose

The Moose is on the loose in Toronto Ontario Canada and we need help to fine him. Please help me. To be honest with you the moose is not on the loose, but that is a name of a restaurant in Toronto Ontario Canada.

Sealed With a Kiss

This is Emma, and she is sealed with a kiss by Ms. Linda. This was taken June 11,2008 on our way home to South Carolina.

Great People in South Carolina!

Now this is a picture of two of my favourite people that live in South Carolina, to the right is Robin and to the left is Ms. Linda. They are mother and daughter and are truly a blessings from God.

Now Ms Linda is married to a kind hearted man named Mr. John. Although I have never met Mr. John, he blessed me with money while I was in South Carolina in June. I was truly blessed by him and I hope someday to be able to meet Mr. John and give him a BIG hug.

MoreAboutSouthCarolina!

Who knows what's in the picture? I want you to guess. Have you guessed? Now I am going to tell you. The picture is, drum roll please, CHICKEN FEET!


Now back in the old days in South Carolina, people use to eat the chicken feet and then would use the claw to pick the meat out of there teeth. Now if you take a close look at the picture you will be able to see the claw. YUMMY!



Now the picture to the left is Me and the chicken feet at the PIGGLY WIGGY ( grocery store in the USA) which the picture is being taken at the store in Saint Matthew's South Carolina.

So if you ever visit the Bozard Family or are diving through, make sure you stop at a PIGGLY WIGGLY and take a look at the chicken feet. There is other gross stuff but I had to stop looking after the chicken feet. JUST REMEMBER TO GET YOUR PIG ON!

THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN A MAN!

Enough Said!

Missions Trip

The above picture is a picture of one of the awesomest family's I know!

THE BOZARD FAMILY!

You see in June 2008, I got to go to Saint Matthew's South Carolina for 3 weeks and 2 days to be a missionary and a part of the Bozard's family. I was truly blessed by being a part of a family and to be honest with all who read this blog, even though I am in Canada, my heart will always be in South Carolina. God knows my hearts desires.

Now I am going to tell you about these great people I stayed with. Here goes: First there is PrJoey, He would do anything for anyone and has a heart like the father above. He is truly a blessings to all those who come in contact with him. Then there is PrRenee, who has a voice of an angel and again who has a heart of the father above. Now there are the girls , Bella who is 10 and has a love for animals and a heart for God, and then last but not least there is the monkeylovin other wise know as Emma. When I was in South Carolina, Emma was in the process of being adopted and her adoption became final on Aug 5,2008.

I spent most of my time loveing on Emma and helping where I was need. I was truly blessed to be a part of a family. A dad going off to work and a mom taking care of the kids. I never had that growning up and I think that is why I want to be in South Carolina so bad. It is not just the family I stayed with but for example going to Walmart and seeing mom, dad, kids, and who ever else lives at the house shopping. Orangeburgh South Carolina is all about FAMILY.

This is new to me!

Good Morning,

I was inspired by Pr Renee to start bloging.

Things in my life right now could be better but also could be worse. I thank GOD on a regular basis for the people he has put in my life and continues to put in my life.

It has been 5 years and a bit since I have been saved, and I have been truly transfored into the perosn I am today. Don't get me wrong before I got saved I wasn't a bad kid or anything. Just had lopeside views of somethings. With God in my life it has really helped me to deal with my mom and dad and be loving towards them.

There will be more but right now I think that is good!

Bless you all who read this.
