Gardner Family News: I Know...
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-know.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. I know beyond any doubt there is a God who cares, who is here, and is powerful. My knowledge isn’t based on others accounts or even on the faith I have clung to my entire life. No, I KNOW this because HE has proven He is. Last Thursday is a day I will never forget. I took my 15 yr old daughter, Marie, in for a checkup and to make a very long story short (and to not break confidence) we were told she might not have a uterus or cervix. How did we not know? At that time I was rea...

Gardner Family News: June 2009
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. I am preparing for our vacation and am so happy that we found someone to care for our home and our pets. Our vacation plans have changed drastically over the past 4 days. The same day we found out about my Aunt, my sister got news that her SIL has severe cervical cancer. She is only 23 and has two small children. Our family is sitting in a state of shock and asking God to show us His plans. I intend to blog while I am gone, but not sure how often. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. 1 Life i...

Gardner Family News: May 2009
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. I am having my own little celebration this weekend. Exactly ONE year ago Jeff (my husband of over 15 years) returned from Iraq, healthy and in one piece. It brings tears to my eyes and makes my breath catch to remember the moment I saw him return from war. (He was SO buff and tanned a dark brown makes me melt a little thinking about it! The next time you see or talk to a Service Member or their family, please make sure you thank them for their sacrifices. We have bitter sweet feel...

Gardner Family News: Words
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009/08/words.html
Monday, August 3, 2009. Each morning I start my day with a devotional and quiet time with my maker. For the past few months I have been using Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, which is the best devotional I have ever found. I blogged about the book here. Today the lesson was on words and how they can easily bless or wound. As a writer, wife, mother and friend, I am constantly reminded of the power of my words. I have watched them bring a smile and sadly I have also watched them bring pain. Only through words...

Gardner Family News: Fifteen Years ago Today...
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009/07/fifteen-years-ago-today.html
Thursday, July 9, 2009. Fifteen Years ago Today. My beautiful Marie was born. I will never forget the difficulties surrounding us while I was pregnant with her. We went into labor over 2 1/2 months early and fought daily to keep her inside my womb. The Dr's tried med after med and they would work for a little while then stop. Her screaming cries were a blessing to my ears. God is so good. Yup, that's Marie! She loves kids and is fun to be around. She is fought over by neighbors she babysits for becau...

Gardner Family News: Reviewing Last Week
http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009/07/reviewing-last-week.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Last week ended up being SO much busier than I had planned, but even so I accomplished everything I set out to do. On Tuesday a good friend from Germany came for a little visit and brought her children. It was heartwarming to see our kids playing in the lake together and God always amazes me when my girlfriends and I get together after being parted. We were able to pick up where we left off and fill each other in on all the family and Germany news. I worked out all but Wednesday w...

http://gardnerfamilynews1.blogspot.com/2009/07/mmmm-curry-chicken.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. I can't tell you how happy I am when I have made a meal my entire family likes. Tonight it was Curry Chicken. My recipe is a mixture of a few other recipes that I have found. 2 Tbs red curry paste. 1 can coconut milk. 2 Tbs olive oil. 2 Tbs cilantro- I use dried for the marinade because it does not turn black. 5 chicken breasts cut into bite size chunks. 1 can bamboo shoots. 1 can water chestnuts. 2 Tbs sesame oil. 1 can coconut milk. 1 bunch fresh cilantro. 1 Tbs red curry paste.
