Remember...

Today, we honor those who gave their lives and who are giving their lives in service to our country. Lord Jesus, bless these men and women and their families. We are so grateful.

Surprise Visit!

MY AMAZING SISTER!

Mere surprised me and came to see the results of my shopping spree with the girls. She was pleased. Although we may not always agree and often have different ways of going about things, I love how much my sister cares. I love that we love being apart of each other's lives. From the smallest, insignificant details of shopping for swimsuits to the most important matters of the heart...we are there for each other. Thank You Lord for my beautiful sister.

Attempting to get a picture...

Almost...

Sweet...

Yay! We are both looking at the camera!

Kisses!

Best Friends!

Shop 'Til You Drop!

Today was a great day! I had the incredible privilege of spending time with these beautiful and encouraging women. Even though they are all living with their husbands now, they will always be my roomies. They are some of my favorite people in the whole wide world, and I need them more than they could possibly know. Thank you girls! You lift me up. You make me laugh. You speak the right words at just the right time. You listen. You're patient. You're kind. You're honest. You're inviting. You're so much fun, and you love me so well. I love each one of you for different reasons, but there is a common denominator with you all. You bring out the very best in me. I can't think of any four people I would rather have crammed in a dressing room with me!!!

The Colonial 2010!

We were so excited to go in!

Then, they checked my purse.

No cameras allowed. Standing in line to drop off my camera and

disappointed that I can't take pictures.

Had to get a few in after the tournament!

We wore the right color. PINK OUT for

breast cancer awareness!

It was so hot but worth it! We couldn't have

made it without our fans and Arnold Palmer's.

THE END.

How Do You Explain?

I can't believe May is almost over. Where does the time go? It seems this year is flying by. Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness thus far. You have been my Healer, and all that I need. I claim that You are more than enough. I am overwhelmed with thoughts right now. I cry out for Your wisdom and discernment. I am incapable of making the best decisions for my life, apart from You. Help me to abide. Give me the grace to remain steadfast in keeping my mind and heart fixed on You. Keep me from temptation and deliver me from evil. Keep me from manipulating or taking control. Help me not to lean on my own understanding. I trust that You will continue to direct my steps. Show me Your ways, O Lord; guide me in Your truth and teach me. Thank You for knowing the deepest parts of me, for listening to my heart, for interceding for me when I don't have the words...and the list goes on! I am choosing to forget the former things. I will not dwell on the past. I know that You are doing a new thing, and I am excited. Thank You that I am complete in You. My hope is in You, and I will wait for You. Thank You that it is in the waiting that my heart is enlarged to love You more. You have been so good to me. Thank You that You are in the midst and ever present in my life. You are the Mighty One who saves! Give me the courage to take risks for love. Help me to allow any grief or pain from my previous relationships to carve out an even deeper place for love to reside now and in the future. Jesus, I pray against barriers. I trust You as the Keeper and Healer of my heart. It's in loving You and others that true healing takes place. I am grateful for another breath, another opportunity to serve You and bring You praise. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to You. Thank You for Your constant pursuit of me and the sweet ways You draw me to Yourself. Thank You for continuing to fill me up with Your precious and perfect love. I can't help but let it overflow.

Summary Of Pictures!

So far, the year is off to a great start! These first five months have flown by! I am overwhelmed with trying to recall all that has happened and the sweet times I have had, but thankful for the ability to write and communicate what I am thinking, feeling, experiencing, dreaming, loving, and living. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I thought I would share a few...

Barrett and Jennifer invited me to come stay

the night with them, and we had a blast! We had

dinner in uptown, met up with some friends, and stayed

up talking until 3 a.m.

My best friend, Savannah, got engaged! I have the amazing

privilege of being Maid of Honor and standing by her side.

We have been in desperate need of a third full-time Speech-Language Pathologist, and I have been praying diligently for the Lord to bring the right person. In February, He answered my prayer. Lauren Wohl is not only my friend, but the newest addition to our team at Broadway. I am so thankful. She is a woman of God that I love and trust. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to work with her each and every day!

The whole family went to Waco to watch Carter Reid Rife walk across the stage and graduate! We will be back in August to watch Meredith Leigh Smith! I can't believe it.

I love these two! Happy Day! Congratulations Carter!

B.P. & Poppy!

Poppy's first snow! In the beginning, she was a little timid.

It didn't take her long to realize she loved it!

After a few days of snow, Poppy was pooped!
