Feel the LOVE!

Random thoughts on my mind and I cannot seem to bring any of them together.

So much happening, but I feel like life is moving in slow motion. It is good.

My family feels connected. We are grieving, but it is well.

My family is about to scatter for a few days as my husband and I travel to Virginia. We will be meeting our son's girlfriends parents. We have waited a long time for this. And we will get to see his apartment, his new life since graduating from Virginia Tech. Of course, we will see him...and his lovely girlfriend.

While we are gone, our daughter will be staying with her best friend who is also her boyfriend. I know...that sounds crazy, but she is really staying with his little sister. I have spoken at length with Robert's mom, with Robert, and Rebecca. It is all worked out, a trustworthy plan is in place. Plus, Rebecca flashes her purity ring in my face whenever I look at her with even the slightest hint of question.

Next week, I will attend the Coldplay concert with my good friend. I love the band Coldplay, I love my friend, and to top it all off it will be my birthday too!

Another good friend is getting married this weekend. It is a marriage a long time coming and I am so excited for she and her soon to be husband. I talked with both of them tonight and they are so excited! I can't wait to celebrate with them very soon.

I got a phone call from my special friend, Ashley. We laugh because we are certain we are soul mates, but we have only known each other a little more than a year. Her life has gotten very busy as her husband was injured this summer and she has gone to Seminary. Never mind that she has three busy children. Our daughters are good friends, and we get information from our girls. I love her though because every time we do speak (which is NEVER often enough) it is like we have known each other all our lives. She always, always remembers everything that is going on with me and never fails to ask. I am praying that God will grow this relationship into something really fun and honoring to Him.

An email came to me this morning by way of my dear friend in San Antonio. She's up to something and it has me snickering and smiling. God has blessed me with her friendship like no other!

So, after posting about the stuff in my life that makes me sad, the flaws and the difficulties that I face...God is good to wipe all that clean for today and remind me of the wonderful, beautiful, blessings that I have.

Oh, He does love me.

I think I will get in my bed and think about what it would be like to give Him a great big hug and tell Him how much I love Him!

Good night Dear Ones.

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
