Kathy's Birthday

Today would have been Kathy's 36th birthday. It's been hard to not feel kind of down today. I miss my best friend who has been in New York for a week. She'll be home tomorrow. I'm not guaranteed tomorrow, so I'm needing today to look brighter.
God, please lift my spirits.
Amen

what's up

Okay, so I can now walk at least 13 miles in one day. Not bad. But not yet 20. I think I could actually do it but I have to find the time to do it. So I am well on my way to that goal. And I have two more months to train. A fundraising plan came to me on my last lap in my 13 mile treck, so I will be getting that under way in the next couple of days.

This friday I start my volunteer time at the shelter. I am so excited! It seemed like the process to get started kept meeting with roadblocks, but we are finally set up and we will go this week. YEA!!!

My quest to get Willie a car is not going so well.

Today I got an email that a little boy from our Tulsa campus drowned on Sunday. I have been praying all day that God would give us a new Testiment miracle and raise that little boy up. I am believing God no matter what. I want so badly to just go and hold his mommy, and I don't even know them, and I live two hours away. God is bigger than we can imagine, and He has a plan to reveal His Glory, we just dont know what that is right now.
My four year old drew a "ribbon" today during his homeschool craft time. Above it he "wrote" , "This ribbon is to remember Kathy. She died and is in Heaven with God." He made it for because he loves me. That is what he told me. What a precious gift he is!
I have all kinds of thoughts and emotions swirling in me today.
