a willing participant - half way

so my sis tagged me on this thing - 7 weird things about me - well seeing that i not so long ago posted 100 things about me this is not going to be easy - i'm sure she is trying to either cheer me up or get me to confess some thing to the whole cyber world.
Here you go!
1. i really do smell bobby's head everyday - it's absolutely yummie!!!
2. i really do think he should have been an ear model - no doubt this was how perfect adams were when God created him.
3. he really does randomly give me chunks of money just because ( well actually because pastor bob said it from the pulpit about 12 years ago)
4. he really does see the good in everyone, he has this ability to see the beauty in how God created each person - i'm sure i ever want to be that good ;0)
5. his integrity really is impeccable
6. he really does eat cherry pop tarts heated up with butter and american cheese almost everyday
7. he really does take a weeks vacation to come work VBS at church so that he can serve and when i say serve i mean from 7am - 4pm if not later everyday with a cheerful heart. he always gains about 35 wives that week. can you picture 35 women bossing one faithful kind heart man around.

SO HOW'S THAT FOR DEFLECTION !!!!!!!
it worked :0)

???????????????????????????????????????????

There are a million things I want to write yet can't figure out where to start. Do I share my heart in my side of this friendship in cancer journey for almost 4 years? Do I share how I have been blessed to see the fruit of many hours of prayers between Donna and I come to fruition over the past 2 weeks. Do I share how God has cared even about my little hearts desires and have blessed me beyond measure? Do I share how I still pick up the phone to call her when I'm leaving church or when the late night hours come? Do I share how much it hurts and I wish tomorrow when I wake up that this would have all been but a dream? Do I share from my eyes view what I saw yesterday at the memorial service? Do I share my concerns for the kids because my faith is weak? Do I share how much I hate having to serve without her? Do I share that I'm sick of being in a fish bowl? Do I share how much I want everyone to stop asking me how I am? I'm standing - I'm missing my friend - I hurt real bad - I just want to talk to her but I don't want to be one of those people that talk to the earthly dead, it's to weird to me because I see it as wrong - but to just talk to her one more time would be so great - Do I share how proud I am of her and how she ran her race - what to share? maybe not anything as someone would surely call the men in white jackets to come take me away for a bit - wait a minute that might not be such a bad thing...........until tomorrow...........

Goodbye 'Super Chica' See you later!

My Gift has been recieved into the healing faithful Hands of our Jesus. October 16th at 1:50am Peace like no other is yours permanently. I love you and am forever a better me because of you. We clocked thousand and thousands of phone hours, 'crime fighting'. Walked hundreds of miles at the 'land'. Our connection was instantly at the heart, spirit, and mind. I will never correct another person who calls me Donna. Remember how we would laugh about that as if chemo had added 20 inches to you ;0) ( i had to get one last short stab at you). how did we ever get stuck doing this project. lol ....okay you got stuck literally!
in the Word - some of our greatest God revelations came from studying together. Thank you for always making me walk it...... being a doer and not a hearer. I love that we were drinking water in this picture. All our recent conversations about drinking water. We can thank Lori Eggenburg for the beginning of that revelation.
teaching our babies - thank you for 5 years of schooling with me - you kept me focused and believed in my boy like no one else.
I love you and will miss you so very much.
Thank you for fighting to the very end - for showing me what it really means to endure and to finish well. I love you

just a few pix of my boy at the beach




back for a minute

Gosh I miss blogging - I really wanted to take a fast min. to post that I'm here. Life is incredibly challenging right now, so I can't really justify spending time blogging, but every now and then I get a moment to ck some of you out. Thank you for all your prayers - I sure need them. I feel them - Honestly the peace that I have 96% of the time can only come from my Jesus because His people are praying. So thank you all so very much. Some of you know what I am walking through with my dearest sweetest friend and you understand the need to be respectful and discrete. Thank you for understanding. Someday though I will share, I will shout it from the mountain top. So be looking for that post. A few other things my Lord finds necessary to allow in my life right now:
My son, Aaron has a heart condition - sinus tachycardia - ( everyday he has an episode)but apparently a little extra water will help this just fine. If you know me you know that my son is that one area that I constantly have to re give back to the Lord because I keep taking him back. So understandably God needs to grow me here.

My Dog "Geoffrey" has just spent the last 2 days in the hospital - He has pancreatitis - well for those of you who are not into pets I know that it means nothing to you but this family loves their "Geoffrey"

okay this is sounding like I'm complain so I'm gonna stop. I don't want this to sound that way. I know that somehow in all that is going on I will prayerfully come out pruned and ready to bear much fruit. God is good all the time!!!! I am blessed to be loved by Him and blessed to have so many people in my life that will keep me tight in prayer - what more could any one ever ask for - don't bother trying to think of something there is no answer ;0)

keep chasing righteousness - it matters!!!

my new catch phrase - you're gonna love this
