whew!

What a busy week! It has been an emotional week to say the very least. Here are a few things that happened this week:

• My Dad left for Cambodia on Sunday. He is going to represent his church (well, actually, the Lord). I have always been very aware that life is short and that the Lord is in control. So, when I say good-bye to my loved ones, I appreciate that it may be the last time I see them. I know, it sounds morbid. I don't see it that way...I see it as a blessing to tell them I love them and make sure there is nothing left "undone".
  
• My womens Bible Study finished up for the year on Tuesday. Leading these woman has been a challenge this year. We had a lot of big life issues to work through and it was a growing year as a leader for me. I will miss their accountability, fellowship, and friendships over the summer.
  
• I received a phone call from a friend on Wednesday. We had a wonderful conversation that shed some light on something I have been dealing with. She was very honest with me and I completely appreciate that. I don't run into to many people that tell it like it is (no candy-coating!). It hurt to hear some of the things she shared but, I am blessed by her honesty.
  
• Yesterday was a loooooo-ng day. I left at 8am and didn't return home until about 5:30ish. Errands, playdates, and commitments...being a Mom is busy but so rewarding! With three kids in tow, I was beat by the end of the day... hee hee
  
• Today, a friend is bring her little boy by to hang for the day. I look forward to tonight because Eric and I are going on a date! YIPPEE! Not sure what we're doing yet but just having alone time with my hubby is awesome!
  

Hey by the way, since my Bible Study group is out for the summer, I am looking for a summer study. Do you have a suggestion for me? I'm looking at a couple different books but, wanted some suggestions from my Pals *smile*

Have a blessed weekend full of joy and happiness~
