A quick update

I've been neglecting all blogging lately, and for that I apologize. A few updates....

I was priveleged to attend Women of Faith this weekend. Wow! I was blown away. It was such an inspiring, faith-infused fun time. The laugher, the music, the dancing and a few tears. Patsy Clairmont had to be my favorite speaker. She is the funniest gal. One story she told pertained to her grandson complaining just as a show was about to begin on a vacation. He thought everyone's head would block his view (not realizing the stadium design prevented that) and blurted out just as the crowd quieted in anticipation of the show, "These people really annoy me," or something to that effect. Isn't it true that we so often immediately begin complaining and griping? We're so consumed by all the grumbling that we forget that God's created a great design and there's an amazing view. I loved hearing Natalie Grant, Nicole C. Mullen and Ayiesha Woods sing. Nicole C. Mullen has this great crew of kids who dance with her on stage. I kept thinking Abby would love it. I'm thinking I need to take her to a concert. It was electrifying! I am bummed Women of Faith won't be in St. Louis next year. I was trying to think of all the lovely women in my life who would really enjoy going. But I'm not sure that even I will make the trip next year. We'll have to see! If I haven't mentioned it lately, going to Women of Faith reminded me of all the wonderful ladies I have in my life. My family, friends and church family have been so supportive of my business venture and my growing relationship with Christ. I love you all and all you do for me.

Today I got to do another great thing...the wonderful and talented Sandy Puc was in Peoria on her Bellies and Babies tour. I learned so much from her and can't wait to implement it in my business. It was a great reminder that I'm so lucky to love what I do, and also of all the hard work that lies ahead for me.

We're getting ready for Mexico this week, and my dear friend Nancy and her family are in town. There's so much to do, so I better wrap this up quickly! Pray for our upcoming trip and for Garnet, our group and all the work that needs to be done in Mexico this summer. Thanks to each and every one of you for your support of this mission and our trip. We love you so much!
