You know how when you feel as though you have so much of yourself to "fix" and you just get so overwhelmed that you start to point out http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/10/courageous.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-69733429042884620Tue, 04 Oct 2011 18:29:00 +00002011-10-04T14:29:16.422-04:00 Fall is my favorite season.  Ask me what my favorite colors are and and I think of deep reds, rich yellows, burnt orange, & dark browns. The smells instantly bring me to my childhood.  The smells of the iron over wax paper and huge beautiful, colorful leaves.  We then place them in the window and watch as the sun shines through. The smell of caramel melting over the fresh http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/10/one-thousand-gifts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-3573509410556376570Tue, 02 Aug 2011 03:43:00 +00002011-08-01T23:52:01.298-04:00 They say 1 out of every 2 marriages will end in divorce. They say finances are the #1 reason marriages fail. They say many marriages fail when they are dealing with a disabled child. STRIKE 1:  My husband and I let's just say have seen better days financially. STRIKE 2:  Our 13 year old son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  He is now in a wheelchair and seems to be getting http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/08/for-better-or-worse.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-856860718080356447Tue, 17 May 2011 17:44:00 +00002011-05-17T13:59:47.080-04:00 Deal Family Easter, 1989 I lost another family member this weekend way too soon for her time. Family is so strange.  We all have the same blood running through our veins but yet we are all so different. My mom and dad are 1st generation Christians in their family.  We have always been very different from both sides of our families.  Growing up we were still close despite the http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/05/family.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-2306958654208353135Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:13:00 +00002011-03-28T13:46:18.337-04:00This week our church is having a revival.  The Pastor is talking about LOVE.  This is a topic I think that we will never be done learning about.  If you're not on top of it we can loose sight of love so quickly it is almost scary. Back in 2009 I was on the Leader Board at our church, the Youth Leader, and anything else I could get my hands on to feel important, to satisfy my need http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/03/love.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-1965469258029092887Fri, 11 Mar 2011 01:05:00 +00002011-03-10T20:05:11.586-05:00I have felt a calling for a long time now to help others that have gone through what I have or am still. I have gone from having a retreat with families with handicapped children, a safe place where they could meet Christ.  I wanted to share our faith and give them the hope and faith that we have.  Also, a place they could come to get away from it all.

Wanting to rush God along with what I know is my calling and never being able to relate that what I'm doing now is leading me to where God wants me. In the meantime I was always supposed to be right where I am. When I first heard this SuperChick song it hit so close to home so I thought I'd share this part of me captured in someone else's song. http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/02/suddenly.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-5237011832809048445Sat, 29 Jan 2011 17:22:00 +00002011-01-29T12:22:38.173-05:00http://tracycarbaugh.blogspot.com/2011/01/figuring-life-out-one-thousand-gifts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298046979765222473.post-8880797364704089151Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:15:00 +00002011-02-21T10:34:31.996-05:00My brother died September 12, 1994. He was a few weeks short of his 17th birthday. I turned 20 the day after he died. I made a pact with God that instead of being angry I would use it to help others. My 12 year old son, Tyler, was diagnosed with DMD June of 1999. He was only 15 months old. This time I was angry! Why would he do this to our family a second time? Why my son?

But oh well I guess, so here it goes anyway. Yesterday Tatum came home upset because her friends were leaving her out. None of them would even talk to her and I guess they were being rude. I hugged her and tried to tell her this too will pass. I was so proud of her this morning (actually hoping she had forgotten).
