Some of my favorite people have blogs.....

Good Morning Blog Family....

How are you?

Yes I know....my writing habits are well, less than extraordinary lately.

I have sat down and started several posts and none of them have made it here.

I actually have a lot of things I want to record here,

it's just a little different season for me.

My blog has taken a little bit of a back seat to some other things that I KNOW

I am to be doing right now.

I have no doubt that regular blogging is coming again.....

it is.....

*****

I wanted to jump on here today and tell you some EVERY exciting news.....

two of my favorite girls, now have blogs.

Yep, that's right Leggs and Lovely both have new blogs,

and I'd love it if you would go and read and share some love with these two.

They are pretty much the bees knees.

Leggs is a new, beautiful Christian.

She was baptized on Sunday and last night I knocked on her bedroom door,

to find her on her bed with her Bible open and notebook by her side and 

questions on her beautiful lips.

It was such a beautiful time sharing in the LORD.

And Lovely is a beautiful young lady who has a seriously contagious Spirit!!!

If you don't know the LORD yet, just spend a few moments with Lovely....

You WILL want what she has!!

She is the best kind of Beautiful.....God Beautiful.

I'm so happy they have both started blogs,

as they are both so unique in their own ways,

and both of these lovely ladies mean so much to me.

I prayed for God to give me a Ministry.....

a way He could use me.....

something unique to who He created me to be.....

Well He has done just that!!

I have four lovely ladies that God has lovingly placed in my heart,

and entrusted me with.

It is a HUGE responsibility, that I take very seriously

every.single.day.

I'm committed to helping them grow in their relationship with God,

and being all they were Created to be.

I'm so thankful.

I love you all so ~~

Day 9 ~~ Days of Thanksgiving ~~

~~ Super Hero's & Words ~~

Yesterday was a better day for our little Super Hero, Sir Cuteness,

although he still didn't feel great, it was still a better day.

He slept a lot, but didn't throw up one time.

YAY!!!

He has been SO sick, so we were so happy that he got over that hump.

And last night, he was well on his way back to his Super Hero self.....

(not taken yesterday, but several weeks ago =)

But he will be back to leaping off couches in a single bound,

probably as early as tomorrow.....

Just in time for his daddy's birthday =)

And last night was also a very special evening because it was Tuesday,

and if you have been around my blog long enough, 

you know I have a rare affection for Tuesdays =)

Well, I have a new reason to LOVE Tuesdays since college has started.

It is the day Dak comes into town for Glee night at a friends,

so I usually get to see him for just a few minutes,

and because Leggs has started coming home with him and spending the ENTIRE evening

with this mama.....

Sheer Girl Time Bliss!!!!!

Well last night Leggs and Lovely were here for a very special dinner.

You see Lovely helps run a farm with her dad and she is an AMAZING cook!!!!!

So she had given me a recipe for homemade Alfredo when we went to dinner Friday night,

so last night was the night to try it.

And it was a HUGE success!!!

It was SO SO good!!

(I have NO idea why I didn't take a picture of it.  slacker.)

Well, after dinner, I asked if the girls would like to here my composition of "Mary Did You Know".  

Lovely didn't realize I played the piano, so I sat down and played for her and Leggs.

They are just the sweetest girls EVER!!

From there, we started singing.....

Yes singing with my girls..... SHEER AND TOTAL BLISS!!

God has Blessed me so.  

We sang "By Your Side" "Jesus Messiah" and many others.

It was a wonderful evening.

I love to sing and play the piano.

I.have.missed.it.

Then afterwards, we moved our party into the kitchen and popped Kettle Corn,

and started talking.

It was such a beautiful conversation.

I went to bed thinking about the impact of our words.

Just how life-giving they can be,

and sometimes how life-taking they can be.....

yes they can suck the life right out of someone if your not careful,

but last night was all life-giving, getting to know a new beautiful girl,

and basking in the glow of how the Holy Spirit works in the lives of people who

love Him and have a desire to grow in the LORD amidst difficult situations.

Beautiful.

Something else that struck me about last night

were the words that weren't said.

Those are just as powerful sometimes.

One of us, is going through a really hard time,

and so few words were said in that regard.

But we knew.

Most importantly, God knew.

And knows.

And loves.

And so do we.

Words unspoken.

Powerful.

Profound.

Beautiful.

I am REALLY enjoying being alerted to things in my everyday to be thankful for.

It is a beautiful thing.

I love you ~~ Have a Beautiful day ~~

Day 5 ~~ Days of Thankfulness ~~

I am so thankful for the young ladies in my life.

Yesterday, I got the unique opportunity to spend the evening with these two lovlies.....

Leggs and Lovely .....

These girls are so beautiful, inside and out.

They are so cute together!!!

I picked them up at Legg's Dorm.....

and then we headed to McAlister's.....

Then we went to Wal-Mart and got Legg's phone on.

She had lost her battery, so we had to order her a new one, and then she had to get it back on.

It has been quite a deal.

She has been without a phone for 2 MONTHS ~~~  I'm over it!!!  =)

I'm SO glad that we can randomly text each other again!!  =)

Is she not just the most beautiful girl?!!

After Wal-Mart, we went for dessert at FruityLand.....

It was very good, but Leggs and I prefer Orange Leaf.

Me because they have brownie batter and coffee ice cream (be still my heart) ~~

And Leggs loves it because they have cereal to put on her yogrit .....

What can I say, she is a simple girl.....

Cereal on her ice cream = bliss =)

Again, such a beauty!!!

 This is her Fruity Land concoction.....

Yes that is gummy worms.....

What can I say.....She is a lover of all things gummy =)

and cereal =)

anyway......

 Here I am enjoying my yogrit.....

Yummy!!!!!

 Here I am at McAlister's.....

Why does it look like I have a lazy eye?!!

Hmmm..... not sure.....

Although my right eye has always been a problem child =)

 My lovely conction.....

Yes that is andes mints in there.....

Be still my heart.....

and Chocolate covered raisins and cherries and cookies.....

and calories.....

anyway.....

 These two made for an absolutely beautiful evening!!!

Thank you my sweet girls for making me feel so special.....

and young =)

We are planning on going to church together Friday evening for our Women's Rally.
