Blasts From the Past.......

This weekend was Jeff's 10 year High School Reunion and in reality it was just the preview to my 10 year reunion next year. It was funny to see people with kids, real jobs and some that haven't changed much at all!!! The Class of 96' did a great job of making the reunion top notch and really fun and it also gave some insight of what not to do next year.
I guess after seeing a lot of people that I had not seen in a while it made me kind of sentimental and Jeff and I were talking about the fact that our (as in most kids at FWC) parents sacrificed to send us to a good school. I am not anti public schools but I am a fan of Christian education and I realize now that there is a bond formed when you go to a small school such as Fort Worth Christian. I realize it is not perfect but without it I would not have ever met my husband and made the life long freindships that I made. Some of the relationships from the ole alma mater have gotten me through some of lifes best and some of lifes worst and I know it will always be that way. So heres to one more year to lose the extra weight and all the other unrealistic reunion goals that we set!!!

Her Coming Out Party....No not that Coming Out!!

These are my sweet grandparents affectionately known as Gaga and Pa. As I have posted in the last couple of weeks my grandmother was diagnosed with Viral Meningitis/West Nile Virus. Needless to say she has been so so sick, but last night she decided that she could not take one more day at home so she resurrected to go eat at the Greatness of Bahama Breeze. She is still not out of the woods yet so please continue to pray for her, but as you can see she does not look 72, but she has felt 102 in the last 3 weeks. I was excited to see her out and my grandfather kissed her hand and cheek all night because he was so excited she was out and feeling halfway human.
I wanted to post this because my grandmother is a Godly woman personified and since we serve a God full of grace, mercy, gentleness and love I know that my grandmother is in the process of God's healing power taking place in her body!! Thanks for all your prayers!!

BAD FRUIT???

Last night Jeff taught about how as Christians we are to be "good" fruit bearing trees and how that bad trees cannot bear good fruit, although it sure seems like it. Lately I have done an incredible job of being a little overwhelmed and a lot cranky!! I love my job as a Realtor, but since the first week of July I have had to help run my office because our office manager has been at deaths door. So needless to say I have two somewhat demanding jobs and did I mention I am taking 9 hours of college credit right now too??? (who has time for kids right now?? NOT ME) But at the end of the day I realized that the things about life that I love the most ( ie. my husband, church) I have tried to be a good tree but I am afraid to say that I have produced some bad fruit lately.

I want to be a good tree that bears good fruit so for those of you have been soured by fruit this is my public acknowledgement that I am aware and I will be seeking fertilizer/Jesus to help me bear some good fruit once again!!!

Well its official!!!

My poor grandmother has had every test in the book done this week and her spinal fluid and blood work came back 100% positive WEST NILE VIRUS. There is no more specualting so at least she knows what she is dealing with, but there is ZERO you can do for a virus. Thankfully we serve a GOD who holds the healing for any and all sickness, iniquity, etc. Please continue to pray for Gaga and that she will start to feel better as she has been in bed for 10 days now.

Again on a lighter note, Jeff flies home in the morning from Mexico visiting his brother Shawn, Barbara, Mason, Madison and Kayson. It is always nice to have a few days of alone time but I am really ready for him to come home!!!

Good Night and Have a Pleasant Tomorrow!!!
