Just a quick reminder...

My "Three Years And Counting" posts have not stopped. However, I am not doing a "real" post tonight. Because I need to get to bed. Today was my mom's birthday so it was not a "normal" day (with a special dinner, cake and gifts. So fun.) and I just didn't have a time to "think" so this is my little "encouragement" post.

Read this post. And participate, if you would like no pressure here. And if you don't have a question or a comment stop in and say hello!

Right this moment my blog seems like an abandoned western city where those dust balls (Or whatever you call them) are rolling in the streets. :)

So after school tomorrow, or more like it after church tomorrow night when I log into my blog. Lets have lots of questions for me to answer waiting for me! :D Or at least a hellor or two! ;)

When you are tired...

....and you just want to cuddle up in bed, turn off the laptop, watch something on TV or read a good book. Your mind is far away from blogging, you just can't form the words, you can't seem to want to blog.

I was tempted tonight not to post. To break my "Three Years And Counting" posts just for tonight. I wanted to blog but being tired, from a long day of school I just wanted to rest. Not to muster up a post.

I told my mom about how I felt. And she said "blog" even if it's a quick post don't stop blogging in your series.

So, I blogged.

And you know even in this sad pathetic post. I can wrap up around three years in blogging. There are so many times I just don't feel like blogging. And what I do is I don't blog. Instead of of taking the easy way out I am going to try in the near future to just blog.

'Cause maybe you can relate or maybe you are just happy to see an update from Pieces Of My Heart. But whatever it is I am glad I blogged tonight. *Smile* When I went on to post tonight I had no idea what I was going to post about and now I have written a post and I have a little homework for you. :)

So, here is an inter active post. I want to hear from you.

Is there a question you have wanted to asked me but haven't?

I would LOVE to hear from you even if it's a subject you want me to write about on here and so on.

Ask away! I can't promise I will be able to answer them. But we shall see!! Lets keep this Three Years And Counting moving along.

I need your help!

From The Heart

Every day for the past week I think about my blog, I think about what next to post. How to word it, how many pictures I will have or if I will have any. I think about the comments I have been receiving over this series of posts. And how much blogging has become a part of who I am.



I don't often meet someone and say "Hi, my name is Ginger and I am a blogger. Would you like to read my blog?" I think I may scare people if I did that! However, if I feel you would like to read my blog and I would not bore you I may mention... "Umm well, I'm a blogger and I have this blog and I write posts...ummm nothing big or special but I cherish it. If you have time and umm if you would like umm maybe you can stop by and check it out."



Now that is more like it. That is me in a nut shell. I hate to bother anyone into doing anything when I need to ask something it's painful more for the person who has to stand there trying to figure out what I am going to ask. One person said to me once "You just want to use my computer? I thought you were going to ask for the deed to my house?"


This blog of mine isn't very big, or very popular but the few people who come to this nook on the web seem to enjoy my posts and come back for more so that right there is a compliment that right there is a reason to press on.


I guess in the three years of blogging I have blogged about all sorts of topics but the ones that mean a lot to me are the ones that come from deep down in my heart.


A Mother's Prayer

It was like a dream come true Lord, when I first held my newborn son. Do you remember how I couldn't’t stop thanking you for the precious blessing you had given us? I was scared when they told me and my husband that our son had a disease. But I prayed Lord, you know. I prayed that he would be healed despite what they say.



The Silent Cry

“Mommy, I can’t wait to see you. Feel you holding me in your arms.”



There Is No god like Jehovah

Yes, I have heard this song over and over again. A song that has meaning, passion, the truth all in it but not till last Saturday when so many things were swimming through my mind did the words really hit home.



Thankfulness

Riding home from church tonight I was texting a friend thanking her for a surprise I found in my pew when I got to church.All of a sudden the car jerked. My family was home sick and only my dad and myself were in the car. I looked up quickly while the car screeched and I screamed.

Pieces Of My Heart

But there are times where I read a Lori Wick novel or I watch someone close to me who is in love and I think "Lord,when will it be my turn?"

The King Is Coming

My Friends... the King is Coming...vacuum your heart strings dust your thoughts, wash your mind make it new. The King is not any ordinary company lets make our heart as clean as we can!

I hope all of you enjoyed these past posts as much as I enjoyed writing them. Some were hard to write but needed to be written. I thank you all for allowing me to share my heart with you.

Until the next post.

My Sweetie!

In the last week while we have been strolling down memory lane on 3 Years And Counting so many of you have shared your love for my Jeremy posts.

Of course you just make the big sisters heart swell even more for the little guy as you all tell me how sweet he is!

I wish you all lived closer so you could hear his giggle, play peek a boo, laugh so hard as we go through the motions of patty cake. But whats the second best thing? Pictures of the doll face!

This picture was taken at Marshall's. Isn't he adorable?? We were stopped so many times this day telling us how cute he was. He slept the whole time. Not once waking up until we put him in his car seat!

I could not wait to post when he was born.

When he came home from the hospital.

When he was just a few days old.

And so on...

It seemed like forever for Jeremy to come into this world.

I was so excited when we found out he was a boy.

When my mom was working on his mural.

When my sisters and I threw my mom a baby shower.

And now he is almost eight months old. Soon I will be posting that he is one! Can you believe it?

I would have to say one of my favorite things to blog about is Jeremy. He cracks me up, makes me smile and makes me so thankful that he is ours.

Once again, if you are new thank you for coming by. Over at Pieces Of My Heart we are having a celebration over here for my three years in this bloggie world. We having flash backs, fun posts and give aways! Visit again and let me know you stopped by!

Writer's Block!

Just reading my title makes me want to giggle out loud. How many times have I mentioned this very thing on my blog?

What Shall I write?

A Question

Oh, the woes of writing block

Trying, To Think Of The Perfect Title

Sorry Just A Tease

There once was a blogger...

And it goes on and on and on...

But I guess writer's block comes with blogging. All of us has that moment when you just can't think, when you want to post, subjects are floating in your mind, you think that would one will be good or that one.

And then you sit down at your desk, on the floor, on your bed at the kitchen table, on the couch and set your laptop up go to your nook on the web and glare at that white screen. What was that subject again? Umm what was I going to write and then it happens writer's block. It happens to the best of us I'm afraid.

And that's how it felt this afternoon so many times today I wanted to post, I wanted to write another post for Three Years And Counting celebration and I just couldn't think. My mind went blank and I was going crazy trying to think of a post. Trying to think of what I wanted to say.

I then started thinking how many times this has happened to me and I started to think how many posts I have written over these three years about this very thing.

So, tell me my bloggie friends how do you solve writer's block?

If you are new I am celebrating my third year in the bloggie world. I have been reminiscing, sharing my thoughts, enjoying comments from long time bloggie friends, new bloggie friends and bloggie friends who knew me as a child! ;) I am having three give aways. One was announced last night the other two will be announced when you least expect it. How you enter you may ask...Comment! If you don't have a blog that is fine you can still comment and be entered!

And the FIRST Winner is...

So, I was trying to think on how I would have my first Three years and counting give away. That is always a problem for me I can never think on how to "pick" a winner. It would just be so easy to call you all winners and send you all something. But I'm afraid the postage would give me a heart attack!

So, my mom had a neat idea she said pick each third commenter on every "Three years and Counting post" write down their names and pick out one winner. So that's what I did.

And the name that I picked up was....JESSICA!!! I was pleased to see that being that this is my third bloggie anniversary and Jessica has been with me on this blogging journey from a few months after I started blogging.

So congratulations to Jessica! You will be receiving your prize hopefully within the next week or so.

And you may ask what Jessica has won?

She is now the proud owner of "Remember The Time" By the Down East Boys. Great group! And the CD is terrific!

Wow, again how fun this has been. I can't wait to write another post. And REMEMBER there are two more winners. So keep on joining in the fun and Jeremy may be holding your prize the next time I post!! ;)

I don't know about you...

But I'm having a GRAND time over here. It has been so much fun writing these posts. I am so thankful my mind has not gone blank and every day I have a new post ready to write. All of your sweet comments are just making my day!

Well, like I promised today is the day that I am going to explain about my give away. Some of you may be aware of it some may not but every time you comment on ANY of my posts you are entering in my give away. If you win and rather not have the prize. Simple, just comment or email me and let me know. I'll pick someone else. No worries, feelings will not be hurt!

Some of you have asked "What" I am giving away. Well, I am not going to go into specifics but everything I'm giving away is wrapped up in things I talk about on here "Reading" and "Music" (Hint: more reading than music) But that's all the hints I'm giving you.

I have mention I am having THREE give aways in honor of my THREE years in blogging.

So I am going to have one blog give away...*Clearing Of Throat* today. One "when you least expect it" and one on the BIG day. My blogaversary on April 14th.

Keep on commenting and you may just be the winner. Also if you haven't yet post my blinkie on your blog. It's just too cute to waste! ;)

Oh and yes I already have the winner. But I am going to work on the winners post so see you in a bit!
