August-October

Reflecting back on the the last 3 months...
(...Being sick off and on for 2 months, kind of left me in a fog...I need to be reminded that God's delights are still all around me. He hasn't stop being God, just because I have bronchitis...you know ?My life is so stressful and busy, that I NEED to stop and Thank God for the blessings I have encountered lately-and remember the good and the bad) -my CD of choice the last several months? Third Day's new one...it's an anthem, a soundtrack for so many I love...

August...
Said Good bye to my friends Tod & Amber (they have huge blessing in Nashville-praying for ya's)
Hung out at Ray's House...and laughed until it hurt-:) xo

I was BLESSED beyond measure, when I was given 2nd row/center for Third Day and Michael W Smith...
*after years of paying BIG MONEY to sit in nose bleed seats to see Michael W Smith...I got these seats for FREE!! God truly gives us immeasurably more than I could ask for**God's timing is perfect...thank You Jesus! (and Bonnie)

Was sick for 2 weeks :(

I was able to sneak in a special night with Kristi on the 31st -xoxo love you more than you know...
