went to church...what a wonderful sermon it was, explaining the biblical view on alcohol - did you know, drunkenness is a great sin, but the consumption of wine - in moderation is considered a gift from God? good to know!
went to work, nothing to report there - sundays at starbucks are never fun, partly because i hate working on sunday (aka - family day in our house) and mostly because it just isnt busy. i am so used to the early morning rushes so to work anything else is almost excruciatingly boring.
came home and just when i thought i had nothing much to report for the day, i read something that i want to share with all of you, especially my mom/mom to be friends, this is something we all need to remember....
i am borrowing a book, from a great friend, called His Princess, love letters from your King by Sheri Rose Shepherd. they are just little one page readings that are so amazing, you feel like you just read a wonderful book! this was my reading today...
my princess, run to win... you, my princess, are destined to win. i know how tired you often become, just by trying to do and say all the right things. take that pressure off yourself, because i did not put you there. the world may judge you by what they see and hear, but i look within your heart, my child. i see your desire to please Me, and i see your struggle to please others. if you want to win this endurance race, you must let go of your need for the approval of others and seek My will and My pleasures. simplify your life, and let go o f the burdens that weigh you down. you'll find that My grace will lighten your step and My favor will even draw others to join you. yes, at time you will stumble and fall. but dont worry. i am here to help you back up again - as often as it takes. make it your daily passion to run with Me, and i will carry you over the finish line of your faith. together we will win!
love, your King and your Champion
so tonight i share this with all the amazing women in my life who on a daily basis put way to much pressure on themselves to get the "job" done right. i know we are guilty of it and this is such a perfect reminder that we dont have to be perfect, we dont have to be super fast, we just have to do it side by side with our Lord. what a breath of relief that is, isnt it??
think about this as you begin a new work week tomorrow and know that i love you all!

All I can say is "WOW". I read all of '09 and I saw your heart in every post.I saw your enduring love for Frank. I saw your sweet love of your precious 3 boys. And I saw the heart of a woman who longs to follow God with all her heart. You are an amazing woman whose story is still being written. Keep your hand in His and enjoy the ride. I feel privileged to know you and blessed to call you friend.
