BLESSINGS


Well, I wrote this once and then accidentally lost it. I am brilliant sometimes. NOT!
Last Tuesday, I found out that I will be writing for Lifeway soon. I am going to be writing for one of their children's curriculum. I will be attending an all expense paid trip to their writer's conference in February. Shane and I will both be leading Sunday School training this August. I am so excited. If you know me well, you know that these are dreams come true.
I was blessed with the opportunity to be mom's nurse as she is recovering from knee surgery. We had a great time just hanging out and she is recovering.
I had to head home on Saturday because Shane and I had a big date. Our friend, Randy, is a flight instructor. He and his wife flew us to Stephenville for dinner. It was way too much fun! We had a great time and you know me...I love flying.
Monday, we had the opportunity to attend the Rangers/Angels game in a Suite overlooking Center field. It was our choice: inside watching on the big screen with air conditioning or outside watching live. You will never believe this but I chose outside. I was hollering by the end of the game. It was fun and FREE!
Next week, we will be taking a vacation to Red River. We are very excited.
God has been blessing us in unique ways and with unique opportunities. Not to mention that Ethan has been taking naps. (Thanks for the prayers!) We pray God is blessing you and that you are recognizing His blessings!

    I love you

  3. Hey Leese,

    Thanks for being such a good nurse. I miss you though…

    Wow, I am so proud of you for using your talents that God gave you by writing for Lifeway…thank you; you make a mom very proud! I look forward in reading everything you write. I will pray for God’s guidance in giving you the words and clarity as you write.

    You have always soared with the eagles in everything you have done; I am glad that you were given the chance to physically fly with them. Thanks for waving at me as you flew overhead.

    Girl, you have amazed me…a true Ranger fan…We must go together sometime…we would have a blast. Grandmommie would have been proud to know that you were rooting the home team on…she loved baseball…she was always so timid and quiet…but I think when in the bleachers she came out of her shell.

    Have fun at RR and think of me. We had so much fun…from the time I was a little girl through the times I took my girls. You must eat Graham Crackers and Peanut Butter while you are there…it is a tradition that started with Papa and Grandmommie. Many memories in that small little town.

    Well, I think I have taken over your blog…me a blogger…go figure…LYTM
