Smiles through my awe...

You know, I really had a great time... all my life.

I have had some great peeps to share adventures with. A group of 3 girls made up my society. A great group of women now days, great kids back then. Playing in a tree house, pretending to be He-Man and She-ra. They were the best brother and sister team around those days. He-man, my first hero that I can remember. Great guy. Lol. My husband reminds me of him, maybe that's what keeps us together.
Next phase in my life were 4 extremely different types of people. Between the age of 10-13, these 4 girls impacted my life with a whole new set of rules. We had the talks, we had fights, we had popcorn machines blowing up in my bedroom, and swimming all day in the pool, and great games of ball.
There were 10-12 people that impacted my world so much, I never wanted to let them go. As the faces come to my mind, I list no one in ranking #1, #2... Each one that I have not mentioned, know that I appreciate the impact you had on me too, i just wish i could type forever, but your Mark is there.

Great times, Bad times, Worse times... I loved every minute of it. A lot of miles we rode together. A lot of fish we have caught. Sometimes, I so wish we could share another day in a blue car, heading to the river. I think you are a magnificent woman that has the ability to do anything. Your skills with managing are supernatural. Don't forget that you are SPECIAL, WONDERFULLY MADE, and YOU ARE A GENIUS.

My secretive friend who loves a mystery. A knight in shining armor awaits you. He may not be quite what you expect, but he is there. Loved the concoctions that we made on an old stump, and the bike rides with our bmx's. basketball games on Sat. Morning. Wow, I still remember the smells from the gym.
Super fun... Loved it all.

You were always so spunky yet beautiful. Full of Ga spice and Southern tea. Always tough as a nail... Loved that about you. I am so proud of you. You have accomplished so much and have such great tastes. GOOD LUCK, may all your dreams come true.

Each one of us has a pretty decent life today. Although, I am not as close to them as we have grow up and went our separate ways.

All these memories came back to me as I watched my little girl sleep tonight. The peaceful rest, She is awesome, I love her with everything I am... I want the best for that beautiful face on my couch, breathing loudly. I hope I can give my daughter a little bit of each of the people that have made their mark on me. I Love you baby girl. Thanks for the "remember when moment"

Lots of Good times in Feb, now on to March!

I have met lots of people this past month, and gained insight and a bit more knowledge on how the world turns. I am almost convinced that there are not good people out there. Either people want to lie, steal, and cheat, or they have their own motives for being friends, and being associated with one another. Then, we have fakes who like to be really kind to your face, and slice your throat as you walk away. Next, we have the people who like to cause mischief and varies troubles from time to time. They have the best intentions, but it seems they are always looking for a reason to cause chaos. With all these different people, almost nothing shined through, but then I go back to James... Oh for joy comes from trials, and I will learn through my own mistakes. I fail daily dealing with people like God wants me too.

I will learn patience and have joy beyond belief because of these trials and heartaches. WOO HOO! cant ask for more, cause more isn't what i need, Less of me More of HIM!

We ventured to the Gulf of Mexico, through the clay hills of Alabama, and next we are hitting the road for the big state of North Carolina. I cant wait to see what is in store for us all there. Maybe just Maybe, I will gain the knowledge and patience I need.
What breaks my heart the most is some that I know have rejected the Truth. They are cold hearted, prideful, and in much pain. I see their eyes and they are very far away. I am praying that they will turn around and not reject the Truth...

I am still starving for Biblical conversations. A time in my life when God is my only source. I do have one new friendship, but it seems that we have a few different ideas on the interpretation of the Bible. Not all that different, but I am having to question and search for truth, and my Faithful God is here to guide me. Now to be bold and to stand up to the truth he shows me.

Enough with the rambling on and on about this and that, must go to bed, tomorrow is going to be a long one. Much to do, many places to go, and more people to meet. LOL!
