EXCITEMENT!!!!!

First, let me start by thanking soooooooo many of you for taking the time to answer my questions. I was and continue to be amazed at the response.


Many powerful emails came from the moms that now have grown children. WOW!!! They were soooo encouraging about motherhood at an older age and they gave me so much good info for my research! Such great insight and wisdom. I can't wait to share.


Another powerful group of emails came from daughters of moms that had them 30 and older! WOW WOW WOW! I loved hearing their point of view and how wonderful it was.


So again, thank you for taking the time to share. It is helping me so very much. Keep them coming. I did not intentionally do this to be encouraged by it personally. My mind was focused on needing real insight for my study....but one email after another just encouraged me so much. I love yall!!!!

AND. I. NEED. IT.


I was thinking the other night..."you know Lord, this LPL could not come at a better time......Please just teach me something that I need to use for these next few steps in this journey and thank you for letting us go"........and I am feeling so joyful and also blessed because not only will I get a fresh tank full of spiritual food but I will also get a tank full of quality time with friends! and i need BOTH!!!!

And because I am taking a road trip with my mom.....I am leaving you with a picture of mom, her mother Carolyn, and her sister Chris. My mom posted this picture on facebook for Aunt Chris' birthday and I just loved it. This month, April 20, marks 30years since they lost their beautiful mother. I have shared with you about her several times before. How my mom was in Texas, away from all her family in Tn, with a 20 month old and a baby due in August.


It takes a strong woman to face all that. I still miss her as though I knew her. Man, she would have loved Beth Moore and would have sooooooo loved going to this conference with us. I know that as I honor my mother I am also honoring her. So this weekend will be so fun and I can't wait to get back and tell you all about it!!!!!!!


If you are headed to Little Rock too....I sure hope to see you!!!!! Have a great day friends!!! love you!!!!!
