Retun to the Blog!

For whatever reason I keep thinking that I want to do this thing called "blog". I absolutely love reading some of the blogs that I follow (i.e. Justin's Blog, Beth Moore's Blog). It's just the coolest thing and many days at lunch I sit here and read the latest updates. This past weekend while I was at a Ladies Retreat with my church, one of the girls mentioned that there is a "bloggers" conference in June with Proverbs 31 Woman. Maybe I should check it out!! As our pastor's wife pointed out this weekend..there is just something about putting things on paper that is soothing and healing. I feel as if I can verbalize some of what God is saying to my heart. It's not always written perfectly, but it is certainly from the heart. Many things going on in our lives right now. Roy was just laid off his job this past Thursday. We were devastated at first. Shouldn't have been shocked, especially in this economy, but we were. It's like a death or something. You feel so empty at first. And, one of my dearest friends, a young lady that I met when she was 15 is suffering greatly with breast cancer. I am pleading, as is everyone who knows her, that God grant a miracle! If you read this, please cry out to God on Lisa's behalf. She is such a precious child of His and has always loved him so! Some of these things...I just can't get my arms around. God's Word tells us that "now we know in part...then we shall know fully." I will look forward to hearing Jesus tell me all about how and why some of these things must happen. I'm thankful today that I can lay them at His feet. More later....
