It's a Girl!!

Time is just flying by. I just started the fall semester at TCC, I am finishing up my pre-requsites for the R.N nursing school. That has been my dream since childhood. I am now working at Starbucks and loving it!! I am so excited to announce the birth of Clara Elizabeth Overholser. My oldest brother Matthew and his wife Melody are the proud parents. She was born on 7-28-07 and I was there 4 days after she was born. She is precious, and I am truly the proud aunt. Life is pretty exciting around here, I am so excited about what God has in store for my life in these next years to come.

Moving Out!

Times really are changing......

I know God has a plan for our family, but at times it is hard trusting and seeing that God is control. On Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 my parents 23 years of marriage were officially dissolved in the Leon county court house. We all prayed for a miracle, for God to change my Mom's heart in some way, but clearly her mind was made up. Because Florida is a no-fault/no contest divorce state, my Dad had no say in the divorce and it went thru without him signing the divorce papers.

We had to sell our home on 3276 Majestic Prince Trl, and God was gracious enaugh to bring us a buyer who baught it for the asking price. It was on the market less than two weeks! What a blessing, especially this time of year! We continue to see God's hand in this situation, even though our hearts our truly broken for my parents and the loss of their marriage and the unity of our family. I will be living with my Dad for a little longer while I am still in school at Tallahassee Commmunity College.

Our realtor called us after weeks of searching for a house, but to no avail. She said she had found a wonderful house in Killearn Acres (Arbor Hills),and that it was not even on the market yet. We went and looked at it, and absaloutly loved it. It's just what we have been looking for, it's been recently renovated and it's BEAUTIFUL! Even though we would love to stay in the house we are in now, God has provided us with another home to move to. It will be a fresh start, a new leaf to turn over in our lives.

Just wanted to keep ya'll updated on our family, and to thank you all that have been loving, praying, and supporting our family through this extremely difficult time. Your support and prayers, have been felt by us all. We are looking to the future in hopeful anticipation to see what God will contiue to do in and through these times.

My fall display at home

 

Fall 2006

God is always up to something isin't he? Just when you get comfortable with the way things are in your life, God just up scoot you along.....I had surgery on Monday morning to remove a melanoma spot from my upper back, that I had discovered two weeks ago. I went to see a Dermatalogist and sure enaugh, we had a problem! Thank the Lord though, we discovered the area in enaugh time, and removed it quickly. I've been out of work, and trying to get back on my feet. One of the great perks of working full time is having ENCREDIBLE health insurance, which I am so gratefule for. Things with my parents are about the same, we are waiting to hear back from my Mom's lawyer are far as when the court day will be, but we still pray for God's intervention till then. He will be glorified in this situation, and we will trust in him!!!

Tooo Looonng!

I know people always say this, but it has been months since my last post. A lot has been going on with me. I've been looking for a new job, I finally got some direction in my life and descided to go back to school and finish my associates of science at TCC. I have been working full time as the office manager for Dr. Van Tassel's office, here is a local Chiropractor here in town, and also the physian for the Florida State Seminoles Athletics. Pretty cool, I get to meet all the atheletes.... Cha Ching! I am looking for a part time job, sometime like 25+ hrs a week, just to cover my bills. God has been refining my family thru fire, some of you might not no that my mom is divorcing my Dad. She left our home a couple months ago, we had been trying to talk with her, and to get her to come home but she has recieved some pretty bad counsel down in Tampa, Fl where she is now. Please pray for my family, Florida is a non-contest/no fault state in that my Dad does not have to sign the divorce papers in order for them to go thru. Unless God interviens, my parents will be divorced in a matter of weeks. This was a very hard thing for me to post, but I wanted to be honest and earnestly ask prayer for my family. WE are all seeking God in the midst of the storm, but it has been and will continue to be a challenge. Thank ya'll for your prayers, that are GREATLY appreciated!

Welcome to the world, Matthew James Overholser

I'm An AUNT!!!

I know I have not posted in like forever. I guess sometimes it is just easier to facebook or myspace. :) Well a lot has gone on since I last posted. I am getting ready to start a new job on Monday. I will be working full time now for another Chiropractor in town. However, I will be the office manager now instead of working with the patients as a Chiropractic Assitant. The pay and benfits are great! I had been praying for a while about the Lord providing some $$$$ to be able to purchase a car. He is my prayers in the form of a beautiful silver VOLVO, given to me just a few weeks ago. It has been such a blessing already, and I am so grateful to be able to have reliable transportation. Two weeks ago, I recieved a call on my cell phone about 2:30am, and I was thinking who could that be??? Well, it was my brother informing me that I has just become an aunt. My brother and his wife Melody of 4 yrs were expecting a little boy on may 7th. God had other plans for that little man, and he made his entrance a few weeks early. Well I literally fell out of bed in excitement, and asked them when I could come and see him. That was on Thurs, and by Friday afternoon I was on my way down to Orlando, were they are living now. I made it to the hospital in record time, and got to see and hold little matthew james. It was truly an amazing thing seeing him, he was so small but perfect. The gift of life is truly a miracle, and how people look at children and say there is no God, is beyond my comprehension. Anyways. Since then I have been down there for a week, and got to spend some good times with my neph. That's pretty much all for now. I will continue to update more often and will post some more pictures soon. Peace!

Trent and Jamee...Yes, he's a a wright

Yea!!! Matthew And Melody

Overholser's Christmas Day 2005

Once again, I am a little behind on the times as far as posting. I just have the hardest time making myself sit down and post stuff. Guess it does not really excite me like it used it.....he he he :) Well here is our Christmas in a nutshell, we were all together this year all accept Matthew and Melody. Jonathan and Jennifer spent their 1st Christmas with us as newlyweds. Stephen came over from his house over off of mission road, and Sarah drove over from her home in JAX, FL for the week. Trent and Jamee still live in Tallahassee, and were able to come over Christmas day as well. It was a full house, but a joy for all of us to be together. :)
We watched the ultrasound video of our 1st grandbaby, who we found out is a boy!!! The 3-D pictures were amazing and we could actually see his little face. Life, what a blessing it is to see in it's beginning form. Little Jr. O will be arriving some time around the 1st week of May, if God see's to it that the DOCS were right in estimating time of birth. HA!!!
I will close for now, great to be 20 now. I had a birthday on January 1st, which is always a fun way to ring in the new year. I pray God's blessing on ya'll live's in this special year of 2006!!!
