Winding down to Wind up!

What an amazing weekend I had. Just amazing. I am truly blessed with family and friends that are just placed in my life to be with me on the path that God has me on. In the midst of all this glory it is time though for me to get real! This past week I have had to deal with unpleasantness of anger, forgiveness, and sadness. But by His Grace, I am hear to speak of it. 

As I am writing this I am trying to put all my thoughts together....I hear some laughing out there.
Laughter. Laughter is a beautiful gift that God has given us. I love to laugh. I love to laugh until I cry and until it hurts. I love to laugh! Jessi and Derrick did that for me on Friday. There is nothing like old friends getting together with good food and good wine (don't go getting all biblical on me now) that can do that to you! And they just LOVE Natalee...heck I was 7 months pregnant with Natalee when I stood up in there wedding. And yes, I did the cha-cha slide! Oh and how we all met....that is a whole other story. But they reminded me that laughter and love is the most amazing gift there is. And they give it so freely!

Then I throw a shift of work in and I ended up working with great understanding people this day! It was like I needed to have an easy day...however, if one more person ordered a Frappaccino, I was going to scream...really people it is 70 degrees...not 90....may God lay his Grace on me when the summer comes cause it is just gonna be ridiculous! I may lose my patience! 

And now we have Sunday and of course Worship! I think my bedroom was bugged. While we were getting ready for church, Torrance and I were taking about the Children's program and how I grew up Catholic and he grew up Apostolic. And the differences between then for us and now for Natalee. Well, wouldn't you know that is what the Sermon was about today!! Family and praying for our families to grow in the teachings and the love of Christ. We were floored. we spoke to Pastor about that and it was funny his reaction after I "accused" him of bugging my house". He said yes I did...with the Holy Spirits help! And of course the fellowship to follow during potluck! Just amazing.

The weekend has finally come to a close and the work week has finally come back. I am ready. I am organized and I am revived.

Such the blessings that have poured in and out this weekend! God is good! Very Good!
