Shush

I have so many fun surprises coming up. I am bursting!

This week seems to not allow me to catch a break, but once I get through it, I know that things are going to pick up fast and fly through.

Even though right now I am working through some tough stuff, I ask myself the questions...
Who am I and where is my identity?
What am I doing well and who can I serve well?
What is my destiny and how am I fulfilling it?
Where is my path going, and am I walking in stability without stumbling?

When I think about my life like that, with those questions that are sometimes so hard for people, I am so pleased with my answers and where my head and heart are at.

I am also so blessed to have the best friends on the planet. I remember thinking that there are friends in my life that I probably would have for a life time. I don't think that I was ever naive, but I do love people so, so deeply and I do always keep the best of intentions, even when the outcome doesn't follow suite.
But, there are some friends, especially now that I am growing and walking out my life with some amazing people, where I see myself continuing to be a part of their lives for the long haul. That is so fun and exciting. Thank you, and you know who you are, for staying by me and listening and understanding. Life is so much easier with you every day, and I couldn't be more grateful.


I have so many thoughts about so many things.

I heard this song today, right in the midst of all my confusion. I was sorting some thoughts and trying to understand where I was at and how I was feeling and Chris August came on the radio.

He has a song out now that is really incredible, and battles a concept we all face in some way, that really struck with me today. His song, 7 times 70, talks about a word some of us cringe at... forgiveness.
The concept traces back to the Bible. Peter asks Jesus if he should forgive his brother, over and over again for his wrong doing. Should I forgive him seven times? And Jesus answers(in Matthew 18:22) "Not seven times, but seven times seventy times"

Who are you working on forgiving? What a huge topic to be on my mind and heart today!

To finish up, I have to tell you how grateful I am for Billy. Okay I know, it's all over the blog, everyone knows we are happy and in love, but gosh I pray for him and think about him and realize how wonderful he is and how much he has done for me. He has moved in my heart in a way I wasn't sure was possible! He knows me so well, and knows how to comfort and protect. Wow, sounds like a soldier?
He's not just a soldier for the United States Army, but also he is one for my life and my future family. He works so hard and provides so well for those around him.

I compliment him a lot on this thing, but I think I am just so ready and excited to have him home for awhile. To experience all the fun things...all the surprises!
So shush me, I can't blow it! But I have some pretty fun things planned for you, Ed!

Billy - I am grateful for you, and I care about you. I am happy you are in my life and I am happy that I am in yours. I am happy that we have each other and the wisdom of others on the outside to make us stronger! Thank you for being you. Even from almost six thousand miles away.

Synopsis of today? Gosh who knows, look at every where my mind has been. I guess that's what the blog is for!

Thank you readers, you're so good to me!
