Home Again.

Headed home tomorrow.  Very excited to see all of my family.   Despite the circumstances, I am looking forward to this.

Everlasting Life.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." --Matthew 5:4


My grandma passed away; it was a blessing, considering how much pain she was in and that fact that she didn't know who anyone was.  But is still doesn't diminish the sting of death.  However, its a relief to know that she is with the Lord, perfectly restored, dancing in the streets of Heaven, surrounded by the love of the King.  It puts a smile on my face and a comfort in my heart knowing that she is living in Everlasting Life; forever. 

Spring.

Just spent a beautiful afternoon taking a walk with a dear friend.  The weather today was gorgeous; and the company was even better.  It was great to take in this amazing weather and just spend some quality time catching up.  I am SO excited for Spring and everything that entails.  Flowers. Fresh cut grass. Sunshine.  Long walks.  Picnics. Thunderstorms.   Very much looking forward to what this Spring will bring : )

A Quick Trip Home.

I made a quick trip home.  It was really nice to be there; very relaxing.  It was very needed after the Friday that I had.  It's amazing how therapeutic a trip home can be.  I should consider going more often.

Frustration.

Today was an extremely frustrating day for me.  There are different variables that contributed to make this a frustrating day; just know that my attitude did NOT help my day get any better.  To be frank, it stunk, just about as bad as Presley's breath.  I have come to realize that I need a lot of help in this area.  I have a lot of things to be thankful for; I should be thinking about my blessings.


"Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes."  --Ephesians 4:23 

Best Friend.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.  The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.  ~Henri Nouwen


So excited to spend an evening with my best friend at the Matt Wertz concert.  We have a lot to catch up on; this is a long overdue reunion.
