Love song to my #1 Love!

I want to end these 28 days of love, with my #1 love, Jesus!
I also want to add that 28 days was really not enough to write about everything/one I love. I truly am blessed. It is so much more than religion, it's a relationship. Traditions in the Church, (not a church, but His...they're all His) will drive you will drive you mad, and I am so thankful that I have been able to see that Jesus does care about a relationship with His people. And so, for my very last post (two today) I wanted to share one of my favorite songs!!!


The more I seek You, the more I find You.
The more I find You, the more I LOVE YOU!

I wanna sit at Your feet,
Drink from the cup in Your hand,
Lay back against You and breathe,
Feel Your heartbeat.
This love is so deep,
And it's more than I can stand.
I melt in Your peace.
It's overwhelming!




As long as I got King Jesus...

...I don't need nobody else!!!
I love Jesus!!!
He is the Solid Rock on which I stand,
He calls me friend,
He was, and is, and is to come!
He said if I seek Him with my whole heart, I will find Him.
I am so proud to be a child of God, a daughter of Jesus.
I am so thankful for all He has done for me.
One of my favorite songs that pretty much sums it up:
When I look around and see the good things, God has done for me, I know, I am unworthy of them all. For His blessings He so freely gives, I know I owe my life to Him. I have so much to thank Him for.
I have so much to thank Him for, so much to praise Him for.
Can't you see? My God has been so good to me.
And when I think of what He's done, and where He has brought me from, I have so much to thank Him for.
Sometimes, while on this way, I kneel, yes I stop to say thank You Lord for all You've done for me. You have blessed me with so many things, so that's why I must stop and sing, I have so much to thank Him for!!!
I love you JESUS, with my whole heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Oh Majesty, I live to see Your face and be transformed, into Your image!
I love JESUS!

Tiffany Anne






I love myself!!!
Yep.


I feel it is impossible to love others if you don't love yourself.
I also have Jesus in me, so if I don't love me, I don't love Him.


I do love ME!!!

I love Noah Bryant!

Of course, I love my boy!!! Mr. Noah Bryant Givens. Born October 22, 2004 at 7:27 p.m. Weighing 8 lbs. 11 ozs. Measuring 21 inches long. I can barely remember life before then, and it hasn't been the same since.

I won't go too deep on this one because it would obviously bore everyone else, and take way too much time and space, but my love for him is unconditional and undying.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
Noah, one week old, and his mommy.
Palsy Walsy!!!


I am very proud of this boy!

I do love NOAH BRYANT!!!

Dear Darling Parents!

Oh yes, I love my mommy and daddy!!!
Back on March 31, 1983, Scot and Beth became Mr. and Mrs.!!!
Life's never been the same!!! haha.
They have three children: Rodney, Rhonda, and Tiffany.
And 5 grandchildren: Felicity, Katelyn, Cameron, Noah, and Anthony.
And they have been the best parents/grandparents in the world!!!
Momma and Daddy have done nothing but sacrifice their entire life for the happiness and well-being of their children and grandchildren, and have made life for us amazing.
And I am most positive that my sister, brother, son, and nieces and nephews would agree....Grammy and Pa-Pa are great!!!
Thanks to both of you for all you have done!
If I can be half the parent ya'll have been, I'd be honored.
Nothing about parenting is easy...I found that out!
But, you both have went above and beyond for all of us....
thanks a million!!!

Love Love Love!!!


I love my MOM AND DAD!

I love Mom and Pop Givens!

Yep, I love my in-laws! They really do treat everyone the same, regardless to if you are family, blood or not! They treat every person alive the exact same way! They once told me the only way to get out of this family is to die!!! Yikes! I guess I'm stuck!
They are known as Leon and Betty (they are actually Harold and Elizabeth) and they have been nothing but great to me!
Really, Derrick's whole family, as I have posted before, really make you feel at home. And that is so awesome!
I call on Leon and Betty for all sorts of things, but mainly prayer. I'll try not to be too spiritual, but I can call them at anytime with any request, and they will stop what they are doing to pray for me. When I found out about the last aunt that passed away, I called them that night/morning...it was around midnight thirty, and told them to wake up and pray, and not to stop till I let them know....I still haven't let them know!!! Not really, but they prayed a lot for me and my family at that time (knowing the close relationship I had with her) and they still do pray for me! With lots of situations. My faith isn't in them or anything, it just helps to know that they agree with me in prayer!
We also stay with them at their second home in TN at least once or twice a year. They even built on an addition and decorated it purple...that's right....it's just for us!!! They always volunteer to keep Noah so that I can rest, or just read a book in my room, or just relax outside, or have a date with my hubby, or go shopping alone...you get the point! And when they come home to us, they do the same. The last time they came home, I had the flu, then just before they left, I got sick again, and the dr still doesn't know what I had, just my throat was swollen shut! They took such good care of me when needed (while my parents worked) and they babysitted Noah and Derrick for me too! That's huge!
Then Leon got sick the day after they left here, at Derrick's sister's house, and was in the hospital a week, and I found out that they really do mean a whole lot to me, and to us, and that we really do mean a lot to them too!

And of course, Betty and I have our own thing going on... when we can....we dump those boys!!! haha

I really do love MOM AND POP GIVENS!!!

We are family!!!!

You got it...I love my family!!!


We may not be much, we may not have much, but in the end, my family means so much to me! I am very proud of every person in it, but today's focus will be our one living grandmother, and our siblings.


I am so proud of each of them!

First is Na-Na. She is my maternal grandmother.
She is Lois Irene. She was married to Phil (Paw-Paw Peewinkle!), and had three daughters, Helen Elizabeth (mom a.k.a Beth), Phyllis (P.J.), and Dehava (DeeDee).

Paw-Paw and both of these Aunts are with Jesus now. So, Na-Na has not had it easy. But, she is still Na-Na, she still works, and she still loves!

I have so many memories with her, and she is a hoot!
And I love her very much!


And Derrick is pretty fond of her too!!!


Next, I have two wonderful siblings, a brother, Rodney , and a sister, Rhonda . And even though are ages are spaced out (Rod's 13 years older than me, and Rhonda is 8 years older than me) we are all still really close, and I would do anything in the world for either of them!


This is Rodney's family. His wife is Richie and his son is Anthony. Anthony just turned one in October, my how time flies. It has been so great to watch his little family fall into place, and I love them all 3!



My sister is married to Steve, and she has a daughter named Felicity (pictured below). Steve has two children, daughter, Katelyn and son, Cameron, and they have become a wonderful family. Katelyn lives out of state, so I don't see her much, but Felicity and Cameron are around a good bit, and I for sure love them all!!!


Then Derrick has one sister, Gina. Gina is married to Joe. She has a daughter Jessica who is married to Adam. And Gina has two sons, Dakota and Caleb. They too have become family to me, and seeing them usually means vacation for us! We usually go to their house, or we meet in TN with Derrick's parents, but occasionally they do come here. Gina and Derrick are also spaced out in age (6 years), but we are really close.
This goes to show that age has nothing to do with it!!! I am actually closer with Jessica (we are two years apart) and she is a remarkable young lady!
Either way, I love them all!



I didn't get too emotional, that would take 100 posts! But I do love my FAMILY!!!
