You are such a sweet friend, RG. You bless me every time you visit my blog and leave some words of love and encouragement. And FYI, one of my dear friends lives in Arvada, and I have (hopefully) big plans to visit her within the next year. So maybe you and I really can have that coffee!

I loved your post about Idol today…I need to hop back over there and comment later.

HAHAHA!!! That was me laughing at the jellybean story. Love it.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Thanks for your note, Janet. Definitely words of wisdom from someone who has been there! Congratulations again on your newest little sweetheart…she is SO cute, and I love the name. Someday we need to have a reunion for all the BAIS baby girls (and their mamas!) who were born this past year. Blessings to you and your family. We miss you all.

I am sitting here reading your heart felt post with my cup of coffee on the desk and it’s 4:40pm. Yeah, so? What of it *smile*

I LOVE this post! Only because I get to peek into your soul….and I do love me some soul peeking *laugh*

Mel, I’ve never moved around a lot. I can only empathize with your situation. I do know that it is in the uncomfortable circumstances that our Father becomes much more to us. And that matters. Be where you are, be honest about what you’re feeling, continue to seek Him and it will all come together. Somehow, someway.

I believe that all of us are struggling with something deep, we only choose to show it. Or not.

You could call me anytime. It’s not a bother. You’re not a bother. Sometimes, we need people. And that’s ok.

I’m not going anywhere for spring break, are you kidding me?? I can barely afford groceries right now. But, for now, I have to be ok with it. What’s my option?

Here in Denver, we’ve got a wildfire on the East side of the city. All over the news right now, a horse is running around scared. Firemen trying to keep the fire at bay. We need some moisture! We need a spring blizzard! Lord have mercy. And we have one in the mountians just West of the city. It’s so dry!!

I think Pia could win the whole thing too. Why is she so adorable? That outift last nite was perfect.

And I’ll end with a funny jelly bean story…..Have you seen any commercials for the upcoming movie, “Hop”? Well, there is a commercial where a guy sitting in his truck is talking to a bunny on the road and he says to the bunny, “What are you doing?” And the bunny looks like he’s going to the bathroom, he steps to the side and there is a pile of jelly beans on the road. HA HA HA HA!! Everytime I see that I laugh so hard! Soooo……instead of saying the 4 letter word that starts with an “s” and ends with a “t”, I say jelly bean now! It’s a total joke in my house.

Ok….I hope you thought that was funny and not make me even stranger than I already am *smile*

Your’re so cute, Mel! A fun post! And don’t worry, after three years here I still don’t feel like I have a place where I fit, or friends that I can call without feeling like I am bothering them. But I take the time to love on my kids, cling to God, and wait for him to show me His plans. The waiting is hard, but I usually find that 1) There is a reason and 2) I am able to cling so much more tightly to God when I am not clinging to people. Hang in there!
