Holy Roller - I won!

I WON!
The other day, I was blog browsing...
you know,
you read a blog, leave a comment, someone else's comment grabs your attention, you go there, etc.
And I ran across the blog
Mocha with Linda
The word "mocha" was the grabber.
(I was having serious PMS)
And the blog I read was a book review on a book titled,
HOLY ROLLER
by
Julie Lyons
(Random House)
Yet another grab.
And as I read, I discovered the book was written by an author who lives in Dallas (that's where I live) and the story was written about a church in South Dallas's ghetto.
(I have been there - once with crack addicts. That's another post.)
I noticed that Linda (from Mocha with Linda) was also a Texan and I just had to leave a comment.
Honestly, I didn't even notice that it was a give-a-way post. I really just commented.
(I was totally focused on the book and the Texas thing)
Just waking up from a nap this afternoon, iPhone in bed with me, I decided to check my email.
And
I WON!
I won a copy of the book.
How fun!
So, thanks to Linda for having such an interesting blog post and book review,
that because of my interest,
I won a copy of the book!
Way to go, Linda!
Way to go Me!
Go check out
Mocha with Linda
It is worth it! She has a good thing going on over there!

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...
