Mind Ramblings

It’s hard to belive so much time has passed since my last post and yet it has.

My Aunt Lois passed away a couple weeks ago. Aunt Lois is my Dad’s younger sister and has now hopefully joined him in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. I say hopefully because I do not know if she knew the Lord personally. Why is it so hard for us to reach out to family members with the love of Christ?

Coming to the end of reading week for college classes. That is good and bad. It will be good to get back into class and learn more things, but it also brings a mid-term exam in one of my classes. I tend to have terrible test anxiety. Forty eight years old and still have anxiety.

I will be traveling for work next week to Fayetteville. I have always had trouble going to that town. Some of the reasons I have firgured out, others I have not. It is just a depressing town. Seems run down to me and not very alive. It is a military town with an Army post and an Air Force base. I am former Army and NYARNG. I know that is one of the reasons I have a hard time with the town.

I have not had very good fortune with hotels there either. I stayed in one where I literally had the chair under the door all night and another chair under the adjoining room door. I sat and crocheted and watched military TV all night long. I did not feel safe there at all. Not enjoyable. Why do they put a woman traveling alone in a room with an adjoining door? I don’t see the logic. The hotel was not booked to capacity by any stretch of the imagination.

My friend Joanne’s little great nice Cali was born two and a half months pre-mature. She is a fighter. She weighs about two pounds to two and a half pounds and will spend a long time in the hospital. Of all the pictures Joanne has sent me, this one has said it all to me.

Cali’s little hand grabbing hold of Grandma’s finger reminds me so much of the love God has for each of us. Here is a full shot of Cali so you can see more than just her hand and arm.

She’s a tiny bundle of miracle from God. Pray for Cali and her mom Sheri.

With all the heartache in this world it amazes me that God still wants us. Wants me. He is just the most awesome Father ever. I am so thankful to Him for His faithfulness to me and whether I am on a hilltop or in a valley – I will always sings praises and bless Him for the gift He has given to me freely. It cost Him dearly.

Blessings -
