Honestly, life is hard.  But God is SO good.  I have been blessed with such a beautiful and loving family.  Thank you, God!  I know I don’t deserve it but I am so grateful.

]]> http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2&p=355 Things are good http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=352 http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=352#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:29:34 +0000 admin http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=352 Just wanted to let everyone know things are good in our world.  We’re busy… VERY busy.  But it’s a good busy, not a pointless busy-just-to-be-busy kind of busy.  New things going on are:

- Kate is walking.  Just a few steps (the most have been five) but she is definitely walking.  SO cute!

- Kate just turned one.  Look at my wonderful sister-in-law’s website for adorable pics.

- My business is growing.

- Kenny’s product is launched.  Yippee!  Now we’re ready for the sales to start rolling in.

- I have lost 40 pounds!  I’m only trying to lose 8 more and then I’m gonna start working on toning up.

- God is SO good!  He is a God that restores, heals, blesses, multiplies and is so faithful.  I can’t imagine a life spent any other way than serving Him!

]]> http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2&p=350 Awesome Story! http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=346 http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=346#comments Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:49:14 +0000 admin http://www.juliepyatt.com/wordpress/?p=346 This is such an awesome story!  It’s so encouraging to see young people stand up for Christ and Christian values.  We should all be praying for Tim Tebow.  Satan will definitely be attacking him because of his faith and the fact that he’s living it out loud.
