Sojourning Siestas

Girls, I just cannot tell you how exciting this is going to be. I love to encourage and be encouraged. Especially when things are hard like this.

So, as I am about to embark on some crazy kinda life change adventure, I'm overjoyed to be with you and share the journey together.

Ya'll are just amazing and I love you to pieces!

Skeered!

Just want y'all to know that I'm a tiny bit scared to start this Shred mania tomorrow (Friday) but I am and will think of you as I sweat and carry on like a mad woman for 20 minutes.

Here we go!!!

It's never ever too late to get in on the bandwagon.

We are simply here to hold your hand and cheer you on!!

Hugs!

Can't even begin to thank you...

I just can't begin to tell you how much all of your prayers, emails, gifts (I am ALL about the gifts, people), cards, phone calls, text messages, etc., have helped me over the last 6 weeks or so.

I will share with y'all that if this had happened even two years ago, I would have run like the wind. No WAY would I have stuck around...I would have let "someone else" handle it. Just call me when it's all over and it's all good.

God had another plan. And part of His plan was that Beth would be pulled into our church via her boys (God uses anyone and everyone) and by the way the girls in our bible study reached out and accepted Beth from day 1. The fact that we were doing Esther...for just a time as this...is not lost on our bible study group. Nor was it lost on our Pastor who brought it up at the graveside service for Beth.

Yes, this sucks. Yes, it's hard. Yes, I am sad and grieving and will be for an undetermined amount of time. But I am also able to recognize some good out of all of this. I was able to get to know Beth in an entirely deeper way. A God-Heart connection (pulling the God Card as my bff, Lori says). We prayed together. Worshipped together. Learned about God together. Being with her over the last 3 weeks of her life...the hardest damn thing I have ever had to do. Ever. And I wouldn't change it. Period.

All of you helped me get through it then. And continue to help me now. I am so thankful for each of you. To say that sounds...trite and totally nowhere near the depth of my feelings, but I have a plan. Well, okay, GOD has a plan. That plan is for all of you to be a part of my life...and He has been showing me how to love you as He loves you. He did that by the way you loved me.

Thank you.

I love you.

Here We Go ...

Hi girlfriends! Here we go - this is where you can come to vent, brag (in a Godly kinda way!!!), ask questions, support each other, be held/hold accountable, and love on each other. NO judgement, just love and support! I cannot wait to start this journey with y'all!

I picked this pic for our profile pic ... but only til we can all get a shot together! Feel free to post photos on the sidebar if there are ones of you together ... like the one of me and Teri ... Hmmm, think I will go find it now!

I love y'all!
