Today's been pretty good :-)
Got up this morning and the weather was b-e-a-utiful!!!! Wow, Abba...thank you...it was gorgeous
Went to Calvary and saw almost everyone...my gingerbestfriend was a no-go :-( but then I got to go to Fairlawn and see everyone there too! Today's service...I don't know...God hit me with a spiritual 2 x 4 or something...couldn't stop crying...and then the band played this one song..."I am absolutely in love with You..."...started crying harder...but that time it was tears of joy and thanks...
By the way, thank you...to my friend for praying with me, to the lady next to me at the alter for praying over me, and to the girl who sat next to me who I am slowly getting to know better...thanks to you especially...for holding my hand and telling me it's gonna be okay...I really needed to hear that...God shone through you today...again, I can't say thank you enough...
Wow...Abba, You sure have been busy with me today...and I mean that in the best possible way...You've been reminding me of a lot of things...
Like having me run into my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. McConnell and my brother's 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Pelton (who is the wife of my 9th grade computer teacher) while in at Sam's Club. Mrs. McConnell asked if I was doing well and I told her about college. She asked what my major was and I told her English Education. Then she just smiled and said, "You've always been a writer. I knew you were going to go far." This is when my mother jumped in to brag about my achievements with TeenInk, (which I still can't believe I'm VIP now!!!!) but the whole time, I was standing there in a daze. My old teacher's words filled me with a sense of awe and disbelief...I don't remember writing much when I was in 6th grade...she knew I was going to go far? How? Once she heard my (unbelievable) TeenInk experience, she gave me a hug and said she was proud of me and that she was glad she'd be right about me. That just kinda took my breath away...
Here I was thinking she wouldn't even remember me (I mean, it has been seven years...) but not only did she remember me...she was proud of my accomplishments and had faith in me all these years...
....mind blown....
As we parted ways, she told me to keep in touch and I promised I'd drop in for a visit sometime...I really did love her...probably one of my all-time favorite teachers...I look forward to seeing her again...
Mom and I had some grand adventures today :-)
I couldn't believe it...if I pointed out something I craved or thought I needed for school, it was promptly plopped in the cart and paid for.
I was rather spoiled today...without a doubt...
And am now set for like a month when it comes to food :-)
I love my mom...
I truly do...
Sure, we have rough patches....and our relationship isn't always the best...and yes, she's kinda crazy...but I love her...
....Pause....
....it's brownie baking time :-)
