I am back to blogging after a short break. Life is getting back to manageable to me or maybe I am just planning and organizing better so I don't feel like I am going crazy. So I will have a few more posting coming soon. Since my last post, I had to travel to Fort Smith AR for work. I was there a week and because of plane ticket prices being cheaper to fly on a Saturday, my company had me fly in on Saturday. This was going to work to my advantage as my plans were to rent a car once I arrived at Fort Smith and drive over to Tulsa for the weekend since it was only 1.5 hours away. But....car rental places in Fort Smith don't believe in working after 4pm on a Saturday and since I didn't get in until 6pm I wasn't going to be able to rent a car. I was pretty bummed that I was going to be so close and not get to go back and see some of my friends. My friend Stef was going to drive over on Sunday to see me so we could spend some time together. I was excited about that, she is one of my best friends and I have missed her. As I was sitting in the Memphis airport waiting on my last plan to take me to Ft. Smith Stef called me and asked me what time my plane landed. I told her 6pm, and she said okay I'll see you then. I said "what" and she said I am going to get you and bring you back to Tulsa so you can see everyone at church on Sunday. I was floored...and BEYOND excited. Shortly after I landed Stef pulled up to my hotel and we were off to Tulsa. Even though I was only going to get to be there for basically 24 hours it was more than I could have asked for. An answered prayer...one that God knew I need for my soul. When we got to Tulsa on Saturday night we went over to my other favorite people in this world, the Hughes. I love this family and all three of their daughters. I taught two of them in Sunday School and their oldest was a youth leader with us. We hung out with them for a few hours and laughed more than I have laughed in the past 6 mths. It was a much needed. I loved catching up with all of them. I loved being back in our old church on Sunday and seeing some many faces that I have missed, hug them and talk with them. My heart was so happy that day.
Before I headed back to Ft. Smith Stef and I headed over to Cherry Berry to get some frozen yogurt. Yum!!! I love this place...so I had to have some before I left. Two of the girls I taught in Sunday School also joined us.
Me and Jeanie...aka one of my favorite Hughes girls.
Me and Caitlin
Stef and I....she is one amazing friend.
On my flight back home on Friday I was on my last flight into Wilmington, the sun was setting and I looked out my window and I just had to stare. The sky was just breath taking to me and in awe of how wonderful our God is and how beautiful He can paint the sky. I think I more now than ever I see how God works in my life and He has giving more of the ability to see Him in everyday things. I am so thankful for that, it is something I hope and pray I don't take for granted.
