God things

I am a terrible blogger, not because I haven't written anything this time, but because I can't finish a single post.  That means I have about 5 waiting, which also means you all will be tired of me soon. 

I had the absolute best, sweetest, most wonderful of times in Florida.  I love my church there so much.  Seriously, if you don't have a church in Florida, immediately carry yourself to Crossings! 

I was able to spend time with friends, ate at all my favorite places, and even hit the beach one day.  That is why my burned legs hurt today, but completely worth it!  I love the beach. 

I felt so thankful and blessed to be asked to share my story.  I thought it would be easy, because I knew them, but because I did, I really wanted to do a good job, which made me nervous.  I also didn't think it would be so hard to talk about Abby.  I teared up a little and my nose ran, and I didn't bring tissues up  with me.  Please do not ask me why I would forget such a thing, because who in the world knows? 

I also had trouble transitioning from Abby's death to my next topic. What is so frustrating about that is that when I wrote my talk, I had something, but when I was actually there, I forgot it.  I am learning, and I hope I have the opportunity to share our story again.  My heart is definitely in Women's Ministry.

On my way home on the plane from Orlando to Atlanta, I was really praying about what God wants me to do next.  I'm feeling out of sorts, and really wanted some sort of confirmation that I'm on the right track. 

On the plane from Atlanta to Greensboro, I sat next to Chris Adams who happened to be the speaker of the You Lead conference (a Christian Women's leadership training)that happened to be in Greensboro Thursday and Friday of this week, and also still had spaces available.  I went home and immediately signed up.

I gave Emily's nurse Friday evening off, and didn't even look at the schedule before I registered.  I thought God gave you this, take it, girl!  Then, because I'm me, I panicked a little.  I found the schedule page, and guess what?  Thursday is an evening schedule, and Friday ends at 2:30pm.  It's perfect! 

I am so excited because I know this was a gift, and my husband immediately said "yes."  So thanks, honey :)

Emily and Sarah will be home soon, and I can't wait to squeeze my babies!!  I missed them, but loved the time I had. 

Thanks so much to Crossings, who continues to help me grow in the Lord through overwhelming kindness, truth, and the love of my sweet sisters.  <3 p="">
