My Friday Friends...


Me with  Faye and Lena


 For the past few months on Friday afternoons, 
I have been meeting up with two fantastic ladies.
 
These women have touched my heart in so many ways I can't even explain. 
Both of them are women who love the Lord and hunger for for more of Him in their lives.

Me, being the youngest of the three, have gained so much wisdom from them. 

Faye and Lena

The older of us three is like a mother figure to me, 
her name is Faye.  

She is an amazing woman who has so much wisdom to offer.  
I have bonded with her closely
and am so thankful for God bringing her into my life. 

She has a blog...
so if you want to check her out....go on over to visit her here.


Then there's my sweet friend Lena...
You know she's moving next week??? 
I am a bit sad this week because her move.  

I don't know what I'll do without Lena checking up on me. 
She is an amazing woman who is probably one of the biggest givers I know.
and
She serves like Jesus. 

I truly have learned so much more about the Love of the Christ 
through watching her serve me 
and serve many others.  

She truly has been an inspiration and I feel so blessed to have her as one of my
greatest friends

Tonight we are all getting together for her send off party. 

Boy oh boy....I am going to miss my friend so very much.  :(  
I know we'll still keep in touch through phone and email but it's still not the same..
so I've been a little sad :( 

Anyway...
A few weeks back, Faye made a delicious lunch for us
We usually meet at a coffee shop so this time was so very special to me. 

The table was so beautifully set!!


It was very nice to sit, relax, and chat for hours. 
I think we stayed for at least 4 hours.

My joke with them is
"I NEVER leave my children....I'm always home with them."
  Ha ha... 

Thank God for wonderful built in sitters, Justin and the girls.  :)


Lena and Faye laughed at me because I was taking these pictures of our lunch....

I think it was so very nice and absolutely beautiful!!
:)

Faye made a wonderful summer chicken salad
with fresh fruit....delish..

And for a drink....
it wasn't just plain sweet ice tea
Oh no not with Faye..
it was a peachy, mangoish ice tea....
I forgot the exact flavor
It was yummmmmmy!



It is so wonderful to have such great friends...

Good friends are such a blessing! I meet with a group of ladies from church each week, and they are such a wonderful part of my life. Girlfriends are truly a gift from God. I hope you'll be able to keep up with Lena online! Some friends who are out of town seem so close by, just b/c I see what's going on with them through blogs or Facebook!

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

My heart is sad...

Last night a local family in our small town lost 5 of their children to a house fire.  This was just down the road from where we are currently living.  My heart totally aches for this family.  I don't know much about them other than what I have heard from the new reports.  I am assuming she was a single mother because there was no mention of a father in the home.  I think it said she was staying with her mother (the children's grandmother) and her younger sister (the children's aunt--a 21 yr. old) My husband was driving home from work late last night when he saw police cars speeding by.  All he could do was pray not knowing there was a family being lost to a fire that very moment.   We didn't find out what happened until this morning.  From what I read was that they think the space heater caused the fire.  The home was an older wood-framed house probably without central heating.  The mothe...

A Very Quick Update on the Move

Hey All... Here's a quick update on what's been going on since my last post.  Well....we are moved in for the most part.  I still need to go back to the old house and clean, clean, clean.   Lots of cleaning... I wish I had the pictures to show you how much of a mess we all made while living there for 4 years.   Those pictures will have to wait for another post. I was also thinkin'... Boy how much STUFF do 10 people need.   I don't see myself as a clutter-bug...pack rat... I am always ridding my house of stuff.... Actually, to much stuff makes me hyper-ventilate.  I've been having a bit of moving anxiety lately.   I get these waves of panic.  Thank God they don't last long.   Oh...and please don't worry about me... I am not depressed or having panic attacks.  :) but you can pray though I think it's a mixture of the normal moving blues mixed with hormones of an almost 40 year old.   Gosh... c...
