Girlfriends

Hello All! I haven't been blogging lately, in fact I really haven't even been on my computer much to even be reading blogs from other people. I'm ready for life to slow down some! In my dreams! Christmas and New Year's were great. My kids are great! My hubby's great. Life's ok for us right now and I have LOVED not being in school. Only one semester down and I am already complaining.


I am really praying for God to show me exactly what I'm going to have going on for the girls retreat. February is going to be here before I know it. I am SO EXCITED about those weekends and I am feeling a passion come from way down deep in my heart for young teenage girls as I prepare for this! I REALLY want to make a difference in someone's life. I am really excited and can't wait to see what God's got planned!


My mother-in-law sent me the sweetest, most encouraging, and most uplifting email tonight. She sent me a text and asked me to check my email. I did and I watched this video that she emailed and I have to share it with you! It was so awesome. I cried and spent some time....REALLY missing my girlfriends. Then, I just felt so blessed and so fortunate that there are people in my life that I don't live anywhere close to anymore and they still choose to be a part of my life. They include me in everything and they work it out to be here for me for EVERYTHING. I feel honored that my Momma Shirley loves me enough to be so thoughtful and pour out her heart to me so that I know she loves me. I feel so honored that the relationships I've had with some women were so meaningful that they will last FOREVER! And that not even distance strains the friendship that we have. I love all of the girls in my life, the ones close and the ones far away, and this video is for you my precious, beloved ladies!!!! Enjoy...and don't forget to first grab the tissues...I love you!!! (Okay, after trying for an hour, with no success, to post the actual video on my page...I am posting the link...sorry!)
