Hurray for Spring!

Today is a beautiful day! Yesterday was great, not too cool, and the sun shining. Today is another one. Praise the Lord for the promise of Spring! It is a day like today that gets me excited about being outdoors and actually makes me want to work out. Funny, I rarely get the urge to work out, but when I do, look out! If you drive through Kunkle this evening and see some poor schmuck attempting to run, pick me up. Even though I'm not a runner, I sometimes fool myself into thinking that I could be.

This is Why Mugsy is Not Allowed in my Bed!

I despise colds. I have had a nasty sinus cold since Sunday. Coughing, sneezing, runny, stuffy nose, it's miserable. I've slept on the couch for the last two nights to try to help me breath better. Last night, Mugsy decided to sleep with me. Ugh. He snuggled down between my side and the couch. Midway through the night, he decided that wasn't comfortable anymore and started digging at the couch to try to push himself out of the crack onto my stomach. It didn't work. It only succeeded in waking me up. Finally, I was ready for him not to be beside me, so I picked him up and laid him on my stomach. He stretched out until his bottom was still on my stomach, the rest stretched down my legs. It was pretty funny. By morning, he was curled up at my feet. He's the cutest thing! Even if it did keep me awake. :)

Success!

I tell you what, I don't know when the last time I was around that much estrogen. The lock-in was quite the success, in my opinion. We had 24 girls show up, plus 7 adults. I really feel like there we at least a few who took our sessions to heart and plan on making some changes in their lives. We didn't have a single girl fight, no crying, and only one girl got lost. Ask me more later. :) We even bonded over TPing our youth pastor's house. God really provided patient hearts in the leaders and willing spirits in the girls. Keep praying for all that attended. And if you would like to see a few pictures, feel free to look at Julie's blog. I really need to get myself a digital camera, or at least remember to take my "old-fashioned" one! :)

Another Lock-in????

Let's see. What's going on with me? Not much. :) I will be helping with the overnight thing for the junior/senior high girls next weekend. We hope that it goes well! Two lock-ins in a little over a month could drive me over the edge. :) I'm excited about it though. I really hope the girls take away something from this besides just good memories of fun times. I hope they walk away with a new perspective on the woman that God wants them to be. Pray for open hearts and open minds of these young women.
