Out of Town

I am so sorry!!! I posted about the Par-tee going on at the end of the week, but I did not post that I would be out of town for a few days...fear not, I am back now!! :) I was in Florida for the past 5 days, visiting the family and attending the memorial service for my grandfather. Wow...it was truly incredible and the people...the stories...the pictures...all breath-taking. I got to spend some wonderful time with my dad and my cousin that I haven't seen in 10 years. It was great. I promise to share more about that in the next day or so and boy do I have some great pics too...however, something cool happened while I was away...
I am the featured blog on Laced with Grace this week!! How cool is that??? I am so honored that they chose me! Thank you girls! I love all of you and have enjoyed getting to you. These girls have great stories and scripture to back them up. They are solid and just a joy to know in the blogosphere. If you haven't read them, seen them, or met them, GO NOW! :)

I am settling back in to work today, so I promise to post more later this evening.

Soaking up life-

Closer to 100...

This post will be numbered as my 95th post! I can't really believe it!! I thought about doing a 101 in 1001* for my 101st post, but I honestly don't think I can come up with some specifics things that I want to do. Is that sad? I think I am afraid of failure. They would have to be God-inspired things and I don't know what He's going to have me do in the next 3 minutes, yet alone the next 3 years. I have some things on my heart that I would like to accomplish, and more importantly some things I want the Lord to accomplish in my life, but not some things I want to post to the whole world about. That's just my thoughts.

So, how is everyone? I tell you what...everyone is in a time of needing prayer right now. Do you feel that way? I sent out a prayer request to some of my dearest and closest friends and I got at least 6 emails back for them asking for prayer for their family and their needs. I had one friend of mine who commented at although we don't see each other often (she lives on the other side of the big city), we can still email each other and share our prayer concerns and trust that each other is lifting our family up to the Lord. That, my friends, is what I call, true friendship. I think the Lord is honored by that kind of friendship and I am even more honored that the Lord chose those women and I to be friends. It has been a true blessing.
