Fun, Fabulous, Fantastic, and Friday!

Thank goodness it's Friday!
Every week, Friday gets here and I think to myself,
"I am so glad that it's Friday.
I might be happier that it is Friday this week then I ever have been."
Then,
I realize,
I thought the same thing last week.
:)
1. We need _God. After that, He gives us everything we need!_

2. _My mom and my daughter woke me up with a lit birthday cake, "Happy Birthday song" at 4:55 a.m. yesterday_ and it made me smile.

3. If you want to _eat whatever you want, you need to exercise to keep a healthy body._

4. _I want to take a nap_ because _it's cold and rainy outside._

5. Massachusetts has a proposed 5% sales tax on elective cosmetic surgery; I think _it doesn't matter much to me...I hope to never live there. (it is TOO cold)_

6. _Having my family all home_ makes for a happy holiday.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _dinner with my family and meeting my son's new girlfriend-this time as his girlfriend, tomorrow my plans include _well...that's a suprise...I better not say (a suprise birthday party for a friend...sshhhhhh!!!!!)_ and Sunday, I want to _go to worship services, and see a movie!_

Happy, Happy Weekend!

Do you want to know something funny? I just came over here via Paula's blog (where she talked about insecurity in friendship with other women--she likes me she likes me not) and when I (accidently) clicked on your other blog it said I wasn't invited to view your blog. Isn't that just hilarious? God cracked me up. I immediately felt rejected. Okay, just for a second, but anyway... I know it's true... He gives us everything we need! Hope you are having a nice weekend. It's nice to meet you!
Love,

I came here after reading your comment on Paula's blog. I jotted down a few of your thoughts in my journal. One thing that I need to keep reminding myself of is "All I know to do is be the best friend I know how to be and let God take care of the rest."
I have a friend who I've known for years....since we were young teens. We have such fun memories.
Something has happened over the years and we've just grown apart. I try....and feel ignored. I know everyone's busy etc. but it tends to really bother me at times. So, I needed to read Paula's post and I needed to read your comment. I know deep in my heart that God never changes and He wants me to lean on Him, and I do. He truly is my best friend!
I have lots of really good friends, but this one situation just tends to bother me often. I guess I just wonder "why & did I do something?"
So, I need to do just what you said and be the best friend I can be.
Thanks again and it's nice to meet you!
Hugs from Oklahoma,
Valerie

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

Friday Fill Ins

1. I'm PMS-ing , I'm excited , I am feeling out of balance . 2. Why do I have short legs and not tall, thin ones ? 3. How does this surrender stuff really work , anyway? 4. Every morning, I put make-up on my face . 5. I consider myself lucky because I have God in my life . 6. One day we’ll see Jesus face to face! 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to meeting Lelia and Kelley in person , tomorrow my plans include Step Study Class, shopping with my daughter, worship service , and dinner with friends (and maybe seeing Lelia and Kelley again) and Sunday, I want to work in my yard a little bit!

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
