Reflecting on a tough week...
After looking back at what this last week had brought I can say, with a huge breath, that I'm thankful for all the trials we faced this last week. Never want to go back, but thankful and excited to see God growing me each and every day! What an awesome thing to reflect back on a week full of twists and turns and realize that its only by God's grace alone that you stand with a smile on your face today.
To me its just amazing and so exciting!
Lord, I thank you so much for all your teaching our family
and how you are molding us to be more like you!
Thank you for always being there and promising to never leave our side.
You have used many things to grow, stretch and humble us.
Lord, continue to use what ever means you need
to get us to the exact place of true humility,
individually and together,
enabling us to serve you and only you the best we can!
A special celebration!!!!
A special celebration!!!!
Tonight, just before midnight, my really good girlfriends (singles) came down to give me a huge surprise! Jamie, Rachel, April, Posa and Alisa snuck up and presented me with 4 of the cutest marshmallows on a plate topped with 4 pretty tricky candles. In between the 4 cutest marshmallows sat upright a petite piece of chocolate or better know as an (O.G. / Oliver Garden) Andies Mint!
Then my sweetie-pie girlfriends proceeded to sing a wonderfully loud and joyous O.G. traditional birthday song! It was so loud it hurt my ears, but I loved it! It was so exciting to me! In the dark candle lit hallway, pajamas and all, I quickly started jumping up and down, turning circles and clapping my hands with the beat! Wow...How much fun was that! It truly was the best surprise of the year!
Thanks girls for making my day away from family a great one! Love ya!
