Wednesday Hero
This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Echo9er
On August 11, 2004, Navel Hospitalman Luis E. Fonseca, Jr. was awarded the Navy's second highest decoration. The Navy Cross, which is awarded for extraordinary heroism while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States and must be performed in the presence of great danger or at great personal risk, was awarded for his actions while serving with Amphibious Assault Vehicle Platoon, Company C, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, Task Force Tarawa, II Marine Expeditionary Force.
On March 23, 2004, Fonseca, Jr.'s unit were trying to take the Saddam Canal Bridge. Five Marines were injured when their vehicle was hit by an RPG. Fonseca, while still being fired upon by machine guns and RPG's, pulled the Marines to safety and established a casualty collection unit inside his own medical evacuation vehicle. After his vehicle was hit once again, Fonseca organized litter teams and directed the movement of four of the Marines, while personally carrying one wounded Marine over open ground to another vehicle. On November 15, 2004, Seaman Fonseca was awarded the "Grateful Nation Award" from the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs for his actions.
"I was doing my job," said Fonseca. "I wish I could have done more."
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

I am Yellow?
Today has been a full and fun day! It started off with a play-date for the kids at the park with their friends, lunch with my husband at the mall along with a ride on the carousel, naps, playing outside with the neighbors, dinner and finally MOMMY FOUND ALL THESE FUN THINGS TO ADD TO HER BLOG! A fun day was had by all!!!!!!!!!!!
Check this out, thought it was a fun thing to do! For those of you who know me, do you think this description fits? I am not sure it really fits me. I do NOT agree with the 'description' of me regarding love, I am NOT flirty nor do I need room to play. I am loyal to my husband only in love! My thoughts regarding love are Bible based - One Man for One Woman! That is it! Hope you try this little game and have a good laugh too! Let me know what you find out if you decide to try it!
| Your Inner Color is Yellow |
 Your Personality: Life's too short not to have fun. Your bright energy brings joy and laughter to those around you. You in Love: A total flirt, you need a lot of freedom to play. But you'll be loyal to that one person who makes you feel safe. Your Career: You love variety in a job, and you probably won't stick with one career. You would make a great professor, writer, or actor. |

A woman with a 'Yes' in her spirit!
Wow, I am starting the online Bible Study, 'I Am so you don't have to be'(Lesson 1). I am a little behind the others but it really looks like a good study! I did not do a Bible Study this semester at church and I am finding myself hungry for one!
The question being asked is, Can you honestly describe yourself as a woman with a 'yes' in her spirit? I believe the answer to this question, for me, is YES! I feel like my heart leaps within me to scream yes to my Father God! I want to be his choice handmaiden! I want to be in the middle of what HE is doing! I long to be involved with what pleases Him! I have to say YES!
We are new to our home town. We moved from a place I was happy with and I could not figure out why God would move us. If I were to share details, you would quickly see we were so busy trying to confirm the confirmations, that God had to shove us out of BR. We love our new home and our church, but our former home/church fit us so well. I now see BR was our spiritual college. Now we are given the joy of walking out our faith in this new land and I see how God was ready for us to talk to Him now. He was ready for us to let go of our teachers perspective and seek Him and hear Him for ourselves. We were still leaning on our teachers and not standing on our own.
It is funny I started this lesson today. We were on our way home from the park this afternoon, and I saw something that reminded me of our first arriving in our new hometown. It reminded me how God showed us we could hear from Him ourselves! This was a transforming occurence! I remember feeling I was in a romance with God. I felt like He was pursuing me like never before and I could hear Him (not audible but through different personal methods)! This was so precious! I remember how giddy I would feel when I noticed Him reaching out to me during my day and was amazed at this new level! It is so precious! I don't know what all God has for my future or my calling but I HAVE to say yes when it comes time to choose!
The other questions:
I find anytime I participate in a small group, God finds a way to use my life experiences to be a light for someone. All it takes is for me to be willing to share my life!
I feel I am in an emotionally and spiritually healthy place. Some days are better than others! I do look for opportunities God has for me to help another. I am also learning to be quiet when others share now too. Sometimes they do not want your opinion, but a friend to listen!
If you are interested in particapating with the Bible Study, please click the icon at the top labeled "I am so you don't have to be". I hope you will comment if this stirs you to do so! If not, thanks for stopping by to share life with me! Many blessings to you today!
