Have you ever received a special gift? A gift that was unexpected? A gift that you may not have wanted to tell anybody about because you didn't want to share? Have you ever received a gift that you were grateful for but very protective of?
I received a special gift this last week. The gift of Friendship, Unconditional Love and the Gift of being Welcomed into a tight knit community. I have selfishly been keeping this experience to myself. I have been dwelling on the individual details of it daily with the Lord. I have been praying about it, praising the Lord for making it possible and in a way fighting the enemy for making my REAL life seem so hard upon my return.
It is amazing how much a 4 day trip can change your perspective. It is amazing how little time it takes to have "If Only" feelings. I am going to spend the weekend getting the details of my trip down in posts. From Deleise's amazing chocolate desserts, a 3 hour tea party, Natalie and Kim are they really as close as it seems, stray horses in the yard, 5 year old's wanting to know why I am still at Mimi's house and all the other wonderful things I experienced. I really just needed to be selfish with the beautiful peaceful memories for awhile. It truly was like going home.
If there are any questions that you want answered ask and I will respond. Thanks for your patience. I like totally way appreciate it. (my CA talk is coming back alla y'all) Have a great weekend!

We just want to know if you had a good time :)
Miss you!
I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!!
ALL OF THE PEOPLE I MET WERE AMAZING!!
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU SOME OF THE EXPERIENCES I HAD!
BTW...THESE WOMEN ARE MARRIED TO AMAZING MEN TOO. IT WAS A BLESSING TO SEE THESE RELATIONSHIPS, PARTNERSHIPS AND COPARENTS.
I WAS WEEPY ON THE PLANE AND THE GENTLEMAN NEXT TO ME ASKED IF I WAS OK...ALL I COULD SAY WAS THAT I LEFT A PART OF MY HEART IN OK. HE SMILED SAID THAT HIS FAMILY LIVES THERE AND HE WAS LEAVING ON BUSINESS. HE KNEW WHAT I FELT.
I KNOW I AM A SAP!
Nothing like God's country to change you forever :-)
