I have found it too time consuming with the posting and the adding of pics which takes forever as well. So I have created a facebook fan page for those of you who would like to come and read the posts I put up. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog like I have wanted to. I have many grandbabies now and have been busy helping with them. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Julies-Jewels/124312514356682?sk=wall">Julie's Jewels</a><br /><br />I hope to see many of you over there. </span><br /></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Life is very busy and hectic these days.<br /><br />We are expecting 3 grandbabies and they should be here anytime now. Ronnie and Jessica's baby girl MaryEllen will make her entrance into the world very soon. Jessica is already dilating and having good contractions...just nothing consistent from what I'm told. Candyce is growing and learning day by day. She is a very smart little girl. <br /><br />Kristina and Josh's twins (Brayden and Raegan) are due anytime as well. Kristina is very uncomfortable but is doing well considering how big she has gotten. But she still looks great!!! Last ultrasound she had to measure them was 3 weeks ago and they each weighed about 3 1/2 lbs. She will find out this Friday how much they weigh now. They both are constantly fighting one another in her womb. It is very interesting watching her belly when they do :o)<br /><br />Michelle and her husband and Michael are doing great as well. God has truly blessed our family with who God put in our daughter's lives. <br /><br />My husband and I are currently living with Kristina, Josh and Kloe so I can be here to help with Kloe since Kristina can't be up and chasing her around. Kloe is on the verge of walking everywhere. And when the twins get here she will need help while Josh works in caring for the twins and Kloe. So I thank God for the opportunity to be of help to her. <br /><br />Thank you to all who stop by and check on us and leave comments. It is a blessing to know that some of you still stop by. You are the reason I keep my blog going at all. I just pray one day I can get back to posting devotionals again to encourage and help as I once had the opportunity to do. <br /><br />Please pray for our family as we have faced many trials and situations in the past few months that have been very difficult to deal with. But through it all....God has remained faithful!!!<br /><br /></span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Our family has been through some bittersweet things since my last post.<br /><br />Currently our son Ronnie and his wife are expecting another girl (MaryEllen Makenzie) due on October 12th. Also our daughter Kristina and her husband Josh are expecting twins (boy-Brayden Bryce and girl-Raegan Rileigh) due October 29th. The drs don't expect Kristina to make it to her due date though since twins are usually born early. We are praying she makes it to at least 36 weeks. So far both Jessica and Kristina are doing well.<br /><br />Also our daughter Michelle married a wonderful man named Aaron. We love him!!! He is keeping her in church and treats her like a queen. She deserves and needs a man like Aaron in her life. He loves Michael as if he were his own son too. That is a HUGE plus for Michelle and for us too!!! Since getting married on March 11th they have been expecting twice and both resulted in miscarriages. We are praying that the next pregnancy will take and be okay when she gets pregnant again. She is very happy and although she has miscarried twice she is trusting the Lord for another baby when the Lord allows.<br /><br />Also....on May 9th my dad passed away and we made a trip to Kansas (18 hrs one way) there and back in 3 days. I got to spend time with my mom and my sister. It breaks my heart that I no longer can call and talk to my dad when I want to but I still enjoy talking to my mom. She is doing quite well. Of course we have our days that are difficult but God is helping me through it.<br /><br />The grandbabies are growing like crazy. They are my life. I enjoy spending time with them SO much!!! Candyce and Michael are talking more and more and doing things new every day. Kloe is beginning to talk and is clapping her hands now. She is into everything too!! So precious!!<br /><br />That is the update and I hope to post some updated pics soon. Take care and enjoy the time you get with your family because you never know when one of them may be gone and you not get that chance again. <br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

We now have a new son-in-law. Our daughter Michelle has married the young man she was seeing and they are VERY happy!!! We are so thankful to the Lord for sending her someone to love her and her son Michael and who is keeping them in church. We welcome our new son-in-law with open arms are are VERY happy for them all.<br /><br />In the past week we have also found out that our daughter Kristina and her husband Josh are not only expecting a baby but they are having twins!!! Yes....we are quite shocked as were they too. But we know that God has done this since twins do not run on either side of their family. We rejoice at this news and are very anxiously awaiting their arrival. Please pray for her through this pregnancy. She is currently VERY sick as is expected but with not being sure what to expect she is a bit nervous too. She does know it will not be like it was with Kloe's pregnancy and delivery.<br /><br />Our grandson Michael has also just celebrated his 1st birthday. What a grand day that was. He is growing so fast and talking up a storm even though it is his own little language. He currently says "Momma, Da-da, Papa, Nana, PawPaw and I love you". Kloe is growing as well and is now scooting all over the floor and should soon be crawling. Candyce is growing into such a precious girl. They grow so fast!!<br /></span></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

I know that some will be judgmental since we have already caught flack from certain members of family and from some friends. But I want to say that I am very proud of the choices our children are making.<br /><br />Our son Ronnie and his wife Jessica are expecting a baby due October 14th. We rejoice with them and are praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy. They have had 4 miscarriages and so this is a bit scary for them. Help us pray for them that the Lord would allow all to go well.<br /><br />Also...our daughter Kristina and her husband Josh are expecting and the approximate due date is October 29th. Yes...that means we have two grandbabies due within two weeks of one another. We are VERY excited!!!<br /><br />The grandbabies we have now are such a joy and to know that God is adding more is such a blessing!!! We are thankful that our children have chosen to trust God with their children. God is adding to their families....and we rejoice with them about that.<br /><br />Also....after all that Michelle has been through with her ex-boyfriend and father of our grandson kicking her out of their apartment with no warning...she is back home with us and God has placed someone in her life that loves her and loves her son as much as if he were his own. And Michael even looks like him which is amazing to us all. Michelle is very happy and they plan to be married in a few months. God is working in their lives and for that we are VERY thankful. Michelle has been through more than anyone can ever know....so don't judge her for how things have happened in her life. Be happy for her because she deserves it!!! We love Aaron (her current boyfriend) and know that God sent him to her. He is saved and faithful to church!!! And that is a HUGE plus!!!<br /><br />God has been SO good to our family and I can't praise Him enough for all He has done and is doing.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

For that I apologize. Much has happened since last posting. We have a new granddaughter. Kloe Nikole Carter arrived on September 22nd (her mommy's bday) and weighed in at 8 lbs. 14 oz. and was 20 inches long. She is a gorgeous baby!!!<br /><br />John Michael is now 7 months old and is absolutely adorable. He is getting so big and is crawling everywhere and is pulling himself up to EVERYTHING!!! He keeps bumping his head on the wall, the tables and the tv stand. His mommy keeps saying he will destroy all his brain cells from bumping into everything with his head.<br /><br />Our oldest grandbaby Candyce will be 15 months old in a few days and is growing so much!!! She has been walking for a while now. She is also going potty a good bit now. She is a BIG girl :o) She is absolutely adorable!!!<br /><br />We are very anxious for Christmas this year. It is going to be so much fun with the two older grandbabies. Kloe won't be able to do much of course....but that's okay.<br /><br />All of our kids are doing well. Ronnie is now a police officer like his daddy and is loving his job.

He loves to talk to his Nanna on the phone and the computer. He gets on the computer by webcam and "types" to me which is so sweet. He also has been giving his mommy kisses.<br /><br />Michelle is a terrific mommy!!! She is very patient with him even though he still isn't sleeping through the night.

Do you know where to find it? It is right smack dab in the middle of God's Word.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);">Psalm 118:8 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."</span><br /><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">And boy is that ever true!! So many times we will find ourselves putting our trust and confidence in man and it leads us astray. Have you ever found yourself doing that. I know I have. I'm so thankful that I have the Lord to lean on and trust in to guide my steps. The important thing is to stay yielded to Him and listen when He directs us to go a certain way and do a certain thing. If we will do that then we will be in His will.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

It is a Swagbucks Swidget. I joined Swagbucks a little over a month ago and am getting rewarded already and am having fun doing it. <br /><br />If you go to click on the "Sign Up" portion of the swidget it will take you to a page where you will sign up for Swagbucks. What it is is you use the swagbucks search engine to search the web and you will get "wins" where you are rewarded for your searches. You don't get rewarded on every search....but when you do you can get up to 50 swagbucks. You can go to the swag store on the home page and see the things you can redeem your rewards for. I've only been with it for a little over a month and I've gotten my 7th amazon.com gift card and almost have enough for my 8th. I have several that have signed up under me and they are winning. It is fun and others are having fun too!!!<br /><br />Usually on a daily basis there are codes that come out as well that will allow you to get even more swagbucks. There are also daily polls and daily surveys you can do to get even more swagbucks. Have I convinced you to sign up yet? If not....then I don't know what else to say...except just give it a try and if you don't like it....simply stop and you won't have to do anything else. But I hope you'll join!!! Let's go swagging!!!<br /></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

If a person is not saved they are at enmity with God. A person who is an enemy of God cannot glorify Him at all. <span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);">James 4:4 "....know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);">(vss. 12-18) "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."</span> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">To glorify God we need to live a separated life. Anything that controls us more than God...we need to get out from under it. A life controlled by God is free. It is not popular to live a separated life. We should live a separated life in how we dress....the places we go to....the music we listen to....the people we hang around with....the programs we watch on tv....how we project ourselves in our attitude....etc.<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);">II Corinthians 3:2 "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:"</span> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">Only God can see our hearts...but man looks on the outward appearance and how we present ourselves in the things we say and/or do. We need to be mindful if we say we are a child of God that our lives portray that truth. If there is anything in your life that says otherwise....we should examine ourselves and see if we are of God. A way to know if what you do or say glorifies God is to ask yourself "Would Jesus be doing this or saying this?" Or "Would I be ashamed if Jesus were here with me?" Afterall....our bodies are the temple of God and He lives within us....so He is there with you...right?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);">(vss. 19-20) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."</span> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">To glorify God we also need to live a Spirit-filled life. This is a command of God. It is not impossible as some may think. When God commands something....He will equip us with what it takes to do it. Afterall....it is the will of God!!!<br /><br />I pray this post helps you all as it helped me. So often we forget what God expects of us on a daily basis. These things are not some things that are to be a sporadic or once-in-a-while thing. They are to be part of our daily lives.<br /></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

She miscarried the babies at approximately 11:30am this morning (Sunday). She is relieved that it is over. God answered many prayers concerning this miscarriage. And for that we praise the Lord!! We serve an amazing God!!! He never ceases to amaze me in the prayers that He answers and how He chooses to answer them.<br /><br />Thank you again for your prayers for them and please continue. The physical part of this miscarriage may be over but the emotional healing continues.<br /><br />I love you all and appreciate you all VERY much!!!<br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Jessica let us know today that she is getting on her hands and knees and then pushing herself up to a standing position without holding onto anything. She is growing more and more each day!!! It is so great to see!!!<br /><br />John Michael is growing and growing. He is now up to over 9 lbs. He is 5 weeks old now which is so hard to believe!! They are coming for a visit this weekend so be sure to check back for pics from their time with us. <br /><br />Kristina is doing well with her pregnancy. She is growing and feeling the baby move more and more. And by the way....they found out they are having a girl. Kloe Nikole is her name!!! We are very excited to be having another granddaughter. <br /><br />Jessica is in the process of still miscarrying the twins. The dr is giving her till May 5th to pass the babies before they will require to have a d&c. We are praying her body does what it needs to so she doesn't have to have that done. Please help us pray!!!<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

He hasn't been sworn in yet but he will be on Monday morning. His daddy and I couldn't be more proud of him.<br /><br />Where this day was a joyous occasion for Ronnie it was also a very sad day for him and his wife Jessica. Jessica went for an emergency ultrasound to make sure the babies are okay since she hadn't been experiencing morning sickness for a couple of days. She went through that with her other two miscarriages so it concerned her. She called her dr and they had her come in for an ultrasound to check and make sure everything was okay. Unfortunately upon doing the ultrasound they discovered there were no heartbeats and that she is in the process of miscarrying. Our hearts are broken as you can well imagine. Ronnie and Jessica are taking this pretty hard but are trusting the Lord with this....just as they have the others.<br /><br />I am asking that all my faithful readers please lift them up in prayer. I appreciate it very much.<br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Michelle is a GREAT mommy to her baby boy. I'm so proud of her!! Right now John Michael has his nights and days switched around so Michelle isn't getting much sleep. Please help me pray that John Michael will get on a "normal" schedule for his mommy so she can rest like she needs to.<br /><br />Second of all an update on Kristina's pregnancy...things are going great!! Kristina is beginning to look pregnant and she is feeling their little one move around and kick. An ultrasound will be done on April 30th to check and make sure the baby is measuring right on track with the projected due date and if baby cooperates they will find out the gender of the baby. They would like to know what they are having so they can begin buying for him/her. So help us pray that he/she cooperates with the ultrasound technician.<br /><br />Now for the shocking yet wonderful news. Ronnie and Jessica are expecting again...which we already knew. On Friday they came out to visit with us so we could spend time with Candyce and so they could share some very exciting news with us. Jessica showed me ultrasound pictures from the ultrasound she had done earlier that day. I told her she would have to point out to me what I was looking at since I can't ever make out what I'm looking for. She asked me if I could read what was printed on the picture and of course my eyes are terrible so I couldn't read it. She then proceeded to show me that one arrow was pointing to "Baby A" and another arrow was pointing to "Baby B". Yes...that's right!!! They are having twins!!! Jessica is a twin but her mom miscarried her twin so no one even knew she had a twin. I've always heard that the chance of having twins usually skips generations....but not in their case. Please pray for Jessica that her pregnancy will go well. She has been very sick but no more sick than she was with her previous pregnancy. God is faithful and I know He will take care of her and the babies (still can't get used to saying that in the plural...LOL!!).<br /><br />Our family is growing more and more and I couldn't be more happy about it!! Thank You Lord for Your blessings on us!!!<br /><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Michelle, her best friend Samantha and I were out to her dr appointment then went by Samantha's apartment so Michelle and I could hang out there while Samantha went to clean her dad's office. Michelle saw the neighbor outside with his little boy and went over to say hi and to play with the little boy. After about 15 minutes of playing with him she came back to the apartment and sat down complaining that she had a really bad stomach ache. I asked her if it was her stomach or if it was contractions. She said she didn't know. About that time she doubled over on the couch in pain and began crying. It only took a few minutes of that until I decided I better start timing them. So I did. They were contractions and they were coming every 2-4 minutes. Samantha arrived back at the apartment at 6:30pm and watched Michelle be in pain for about 10 minutes before she said we ought to go to the hospital. We weren't sure they would keep her but weren't taking any chances. By the time we got to the hospital she couldn't walk she was in so much pain.<br /><br />We got her checked in and they put her on the monitors and they observed her for a short time and said she was in labor and would be keeping her. About an hour later she was given stadol for pain to help her cope a little better. It wasn't long after that and Michelle was having a reaction to the meds. They then ordered the epidural. Once she got that she was able to rest some. She was dilated to 2cm when she got to the hospital and had progressed to 3cm later that night. They had started pitocin at about 3:45am to help things along but she wasn't progressing much at all. At 10:15am she began to complain of A LOT of pressure. The nurse said she would check her to see if there was any progress but wasn't expecting her to have progressed much. The nurse checked her and discovered that she was just short of fully dilated. There was only a little lip left. So they ordered for the dr to be called. The nurse let her start pushing and Michelle did GREAT!! At about 10:40 she was told not to push any more and John Michael's head was already showing. The dr was in the building and would be there shortly. Michelle said she couldn't hold back from pushing. She kept saying she had to push. The midwife came in the room and planned to deliver John Michael....about that time Michelle's dr came in. He began dressing in his delivering clothes and told Michelle she could go ahead and push. She pushed three more times and John Michael was here. <br /><br />He was born at 10:47am on Friday March 19th. He is a perfect little boy and is so beautiful. He has jaundice right now which is requiring him to be on a billi-light almost 24 hours a day. <br /><br />Michelle is a great mommy and adores her little boy. And her baby boy adores her from the way he looks at her.<br /><br />I will share pictures of him soon!!! So check back!!!<br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.

Our grandson will be coming very soon. Could be any day. Michelle's due date is April 14th but due to the baby's size being big and her frame being so small they are not letting her go past next Tuesday (March 23rd). She has been measuring ahead of her due date for weeks now. They guess John Michael to weigh 6 lbs. as of three weeks ago. We are praying that she goes into labor on her own as opposed to being induced but of course it is in the hands of the Lord. Only God knows at this point what is ahead for Michelle.<br /><br />She also learned this morning that John won't be leaving Afghanistan until Saturday, March 27th. He was supposed to leave out on the 25th. Either way he is going to miss the birth of his son. That is very sad news to Michelle and John. I will be staying with Michelle for one week after John Michael's birth to help out. I will then need to get home to my hubby. <br /><br />I have missed the rest of the family but have enjoyed being in NC to spend time with my daughter and preparing for the birth of John Michael.<br /><br />Please help me pray for her and John and for the birth. She already plans to have an epidural. So that part is determined. Her cervix is still posterior so it needs to come forward and down. God is in control of it all though!! Thank you for all the concerns and questions I have received for her and about her. Y'all have been such a blessing to me. I love you all!!</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85710/juliesjewels062694/6c805fc152cd9ea3b4b1a518e448dc2b.png" border="0" /></a>Sis.
