oh, how sweet!

my daughter and son in law
were a huge part of the worship team
at our church for the past 4 years or so.
the last two sundays before they moved
i was asked to sing with them
as part of the team
and was honored,
as it blessed me so much to
be up there singing with my girl
(we use to do quite a bit when she was younger)

so, now that they are in austria
there is a huge hole in the worship team-
& i have been asked to sing with
them on a regular basis which is so much fun!
*i love lifting my voice and praising!

anyway, the story goes like this;
i am at worship practice last night
and during a break i grabbed
my phone to check to see if i had
anything, and lo and behold...
i had a text message from a high school friend!

before she left our class reunion the other night,
we exchanged emails and phone numbers
i told her to text me anytime-
the next morning i texted her to tell
her how awesome it had been to reconnect
with her and that i would love to see her again.
she was going back home to arizona
and swore the next time she was home
she would let me know...

so, i get a text from HER!

the text says: are u walking in the morning?
me: yes! are you here?
her: yes, i am at my parents house.
where do you walk?
so i proceed to tell her some of my walking
'spots'
we made a date to walk this morning
at 7am.
we walked and talked for over an hour and a half
and i mean we WALKED, this was not a not stroll!! ;)
*no wonder she looked so amazing at the reunion,
that girl can WALK!

we had such a great time visiting
and catching up some more!

i also found out she comes home every
couple months or so to visit her parents!
she promises to let me know when we can
get together again!

oh, how sweet is that?!

life is lovely!

i am SO thankful today, for friends
yes, thankful indeed!

how about you?
do you have something you
are thankful for today?

will you share it with me?
i would love to know what makes
you happy and thankful! :)

let's shine!
see beautiful today!

sing

when i thought this morning
of the letter s
singing came to my mind.

music and singing
is a HUGE part of our life-
in fact, yesterday on the
way to watch hunger games
we listened to our daughter and son in law's
 CD in our car!!
if you click on their page;
a fine pair of misfits
you can listen to a few of the songs for FREE...
you can buy it on that site as well.  ;)
number five is my current FAVORITE right now...
oh, i am so blessed by that song, it just really touches me!
of course i would love for you to head over to their
facebook page and 'like' them: https://www.facebook.com/AFPOMmusic
if you do, let them know i sent you! ;)

may you have a wonderful weekend
it is so gorgeous out today
here in the pacific northwest!
i think a bike ride or a long walk
is part of the plan! :)



psalm 95:2 
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,
and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms


shine,

sing a song


A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Lou Holtz



this friday as you welcome
the beginning of the weekend
i hope you have a song to sing-


not because everything is wonderful
and perfect in your life
but,  just maybe...
when the things of this life,
are weighing on you-


that you would still have a song to sing!


i pray this is true
that you can see beyond 
the clouds and see the sun
shining through-


i had this song running through
my head this morning...



Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad
 sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Sing, sing a song


may you have a wonderful friday
will you join me?
let's smile, sing...and shine-

be blessed,
