February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
Today, I simply feel led to share a piece from Ann Voskamp. She wrote this on her blog and it has jumped off the page at me to share this week. She is the author of 1000 Gifts.

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Oh, this was a wonderful and such a great reminder to me! God Is in control - I know that - but I needed to be reminded to really thank Him in all things! I'll have to look for this book also!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for popping in to see me and I so appreciate you and your friendship and prayers.

Great post... I miss reading your blog and others while I'm in my busy season of school. I'm so looking forward to graduation (with my bachelor's) in July 2014. Then, I'll decide if I stay in school and work on my masters!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to be back reading your blog...you are such an inspiration to so many. Thanks for the link. Wonderful.

Oh, yes, Cindy! Such a good word - and so relevant to my life these past few months as we've been in production on the play - a VERY powerful evangelical message and oh! What storms we have encountered along the way. Satan just didn't want it to be produced - but GOD - GOD is ultimately in control. There is such a powerful representation of this in the show, too. People's lives are already being touched and changed and we haven't even opening yet - tonight is the night. Hope you can tune in . . .
ReplyDeleteJoy!
