Thank You! and a Couple of Other Cool Things

Wow!! Thank you all so much for your prayers, your encouragement and your kind words on my last post! That was awesome! What I wanted more than anything was for everyone to see what the Lord has been doing in my life, so for Lynnette to choose my blog on this particular week was so exciting, and I have no doubt that the Lord made that happen!


Today, a couple of exciting things happened. I started Weight Watchers last week and today was our meeting. After the meeting, a lady came up to me and said that she remembered L from when she was a little baby. I did not recognize her at first (which I'm still kicking myself for), but she was the lady who made candles for the craft boutique that I used to sell my things at! She makes the most wonderful smelling candles ever! Her company is Makin Scents Candles. As you can see, L's favorite part of the boutique was the candles! Let me just say that I purchased quite a few broken candles that L dropped while "sampling" them! LOL


Anyways, she asked me if I was still making things for my business. Back then, I had made some shirts for her granddaughters that said "Sergeant Cutie" on them, since her son-in-law was in the military. I told her that I was trying to get back into it, but just couldn't seem to get going. She was so encouraging to me. She told me how cute my things were that I made and that I should really get back into it. She said to trust her, that she has a good eye for these things! I just thought that was the sweetest thing! She has no idea how much that meant to me.


I have been doubting myself lately, thinking maybe I'm not quite good enough. It seemed like everything I would try to make would not turn out the way I wanted. So, for her to say what she did, it was exactly what I needed to hear. It amazes me how God always knows exactly what we need, and he sends people like her. What a blessing!

The other cool thing that happened was that I actually got an email from the Pastor at the church I visited on Sunday. He just wanted to welcome me to their church, invite me back, and gave me all his contact information if I had any questions or anything. I thought that was awesome! I emailed him back and gave him the link to my blog so he could read about how wonderful my church experience was! I'm sure he's super busy, but I hope he will be able to read it and see how much that day meant to me.

I hope y'all have been having a good week so far too! I have a super awesome video of Robert Pattinson's music to post in a minute! He's the guy who plays Edward in "Twilight" for those of you who aren't totally obsessed fans. Anyways, my friend Jennifer sent them to me last night and I was completely amazed that he could sing, and that this sound came out of him! It's a totally bluesy, soulful sound that I would've never expected. It was a very pleasant surprise! There is nothing that speaks to me more than music..........
