This Truly Says It All :-)

I love surprises. I came home to find this gift and penny in my doorway. I couldn't wait to see what it was and who it was from. However, there was no signature. I thought the cop in me could do a handwriting analysis, but I just couldn't figure it out. Whoever it was loves me and knows that pennies are my #thing! I was truly overjoyed and smiling so wide!

In the back of my mind, I'm always concerned about my weight. I'm always thinking about ice cream, but I rarely buy it because I don't want it in the house, tempting me to eat the entire container. And the cost for a small one is truly overpriced.

But on this day, as I said my final good-bye to Lesley, {pause: Father, I praise Your name because she is with You!}

I stopped at the Diary Queen and bought a brownie sundae and I basked in the deliciousness of every single spoonful. It was a beautiful and sunny day filled with possibilities :-)

I remember seeing this photo last year and wishing that I had someone in my life that could relate to this very thing. When I saw it again a few weeks ago, it resonated with my Spirit that JESUS is the Lover of My Soul. That was the theme for my portion of the GBC Ladies' Retreat. I love how He loves me. Unlike anything I've ever experienced before. And I'm certain without a shadow of a doubt that nothing and no one will ever come close to the #love that He and I share! Yes, I've found the One that my soul loves.

I went into my "not so secret place" at work to talk with a sweet friend and there this was on the floor. Not a quarter, but oh yes..............25 pennies!

YES, I trust you JESUS!

Not only did I forget the fact that I got paid this past Friday, I also forgot that I gave my sweet friend money to get me this beautiful blue leather jacket. I'm usually a Wal-mart, Target and Payless kind of girl. Yep, I so am. But when I saw this on her, I just had to have one. She got me a great deal and I so #LOVE her for it! It will not keep me warm this winter, but it's so cute! Lol
#HIS grace abounds...

This was my very first bible, purchased in 1996. I didn't quite understand it at first. I tried to read it from time to time, but I had "other" things that occupied my attention. YOU get that way when you're living in survival mode, couple with control issues.
In 1997, I because a Muslim. For 10 quiet years. Didn't understand that either....
In 2008, Jesus wooed me into a loving relationship with Him. Upon receiving the gift of salvation, the bible came to life for me. He is the bread of life and the living water. MY LIFE IS #PROOF!

This little "not so secret" place is where I go when I'm having one of those "moments" at work!
PRAISE THE LORD for HE is #good!

My sweet sister Anna made this for me in February and I can't stop making it, again and again and again. I even get a bit disappointed when I can't find strawberries. So not cool :-)

So, so yummy! Dannon yogurt, greek yogurt, oatmeal, granola and fresh fruit! Blissfully delicious!
