1. I had a wonderful week with lots of opportunities to praise God and be thankful for his faithfulness. It was one of those weeks where I continually felt grateful.
2. We had a terrific evening Monday night with two elders from our church, Mark & Jen and Tom & Jolie. The six of us went on a road trip two hours away to hear Jesse Duplantis speak. It was great spending time with the other couples and receiving from the Lord.
3. Went to Starbucks on Monday evening before heading out. I was given a new drink. It's a frappuccino made with tangerine - tastes like a creamsicle - Delicious!!! Unfortunately, found out they weren't supposed to be available until next weekend. Oops! I'll have to wait another week to taste it again. Something you'll want to try.
4. When I was hired at the school board last fall, I was disappointed that I was hired to a secondary school as opposed to an elementary school. It took me a while to be thankful to God and appreciate what He had given me. Even though it was the job I wanted, just not the specific type of school. Well, on Tuesday, we received an announcement that with declining enrollment, there will be some cut-backs in staffing; elementary school secretaries will be affected. Thank you Lord that you know better than I.
5. Our house sold!!!
6. Our offer on our new home was accepted!! Praise God. This home has everything on my 'list' and we are very excited and can't wait to move.
7. I received a couple of gift cards from Chapters totalling $50!!
8. I had lunch at one of my favourite restaurants yesterday with my husband. The Sonoma Valley salad from Kelsey's - Mmmmmm!!
9. Enjoyed some shopping today with my favourite shopping partner - my daughter Sarah. Then us two girls found Mark at Starbucks. We grabbed a Strawberry Blended Lemonade with Tangerine (great drink) and hung out there for a while.
10. The three of us were looking at magazines. We saw a neat pasta dish - I told Mark I thought it looked pretty good - so, he stopped at the grocery store and came home and made it for me. Yummy!

Anyhow thanks so much for forwarding that dream I had to Jen and it was wonderful seeing you Sunday as always! Bless you and your family!

Thanks for your kind words, not sure what to think of it yet! But I trust God is faithful in His leading.
To be honest, the one thing I would not want to do is be real public with my testimony. I have spoken numerous times, but that is not something I really like to share. Of course I would be obedient to whatever God wants though.
Sounds like such a great life!
