"I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."

Kady's comment of the moment:

We had accidentally purchased some "Medium" Salsa instead of "Mild". Kady was telling us how hot it was and then said, "I wonder what "LARGE" tastes like?!"



Creed's comment of the moment:



Creed jumping up and down with excitement yelling - "Yeah, I love Open House. Woo-Hoo!!" And then, without missing a beat, looks up at me and asks, "What is Open House, by the way."

Happy Birthday Marilee!!

Today is the birthday of a very important person in my life. She was my youth leader and mentor growing up and has now become my friend.
Marilee is an amazing person. She spent SO many hours with me as a teenager at church events, quizzing events, and dinners out!! I don't know how she managed to put up with only me, but a van full of teenagers every weekend!! We were loud, obnoxious and unappreciative of all the time she took to make us feel like we were special and loved by not only her, but also by God. She has dealt with many difficulties this year - but she still has a smile on her face and a love in her heart! She has truly been a blessing and gift to me that I will treasure ALWAYS!
Marilee, Happy Birthday (I won't tell which one!!) I love you. Thank you for all you have done not only for me, but for others.
