I’m still in a fog from my Sunday nap, then trip to Target - BTW, I don’t recommend doing that on the last shopping day before school starts……..
I really have nothing profound to say. Turning 40 didn’t miraculously make me wise and full of profundity….more like tired and full of……cake.
Thank you so much to all of you who expressed such kind words and sentiments to me over the past few days. It’s been humbling and uplifting. You have no idea how you have carried me.
C3 this morning was packed and there was such good energy - I’m so grateful to all of you who made the backpack giveaways possible. The smiles of little children are so worth any sacrifice……
I helped one little cutie-pie pick out a backpack…..I said “You look like a ‘pink girl’ to me!”…and she was - takes one to know one, I guess.
This week will be full of all kind of scheduling adjustments as all of my kids have different drop-off and pick-up times…..there’s a full two hours between the first and last!!!
I guess I’ll be dockin’ a lot of time in the Bledsoe “bus” listening to classics like “Different Strokes” and “Reba”.
I’m just so weary now, so I think I’ll try to turn in early.
I hope all of you have peace and joy this week….
Dear Angie,
i saw you this morning singing to the Lord& my heart went out to you. I could see you were in so much pain.Im so sorry. i wanted to come & give you hug & tell you thank you for your commitment to the Lord- but I was just so overwhelmed by Byron’ msg. I couldnt. I’m sorry.Know though- you are in my prayers.
This was actually my 3rd visit to C3.I have been wanting to come for over a year but havent.
I have been married to a wonderful godly man for over 20 yrs.& have tried to raise my children to know Jesus.We raised our daughter & son in church, had good & bad experiences in church - But i didnt give up on Jesus-I knew He didnt give up on me. My chlidren do love the Lord & i am so blessed.
I came home today & I just couldn’t get past the pain of past regret.My heart was aching i could barely stand it. I knew i had anger & envy but pride - not me…What did i have to prideful of? But God is so good He ministered to me through your site,through prayer & my family & a friend of mine:) God has blessed me with such a loving family:)
I gave my heart to the Lord when i was in 1st grade but I had no direction.So i just went with the flow - it was the only way i knew. I totally gave Him my heart again when i was 22.I didnt want another man, then, or even a husband for that matter.Jesus was my Husband! I lost all my friends. I was a Jesus Freak! Saved in a southern baptist church!LOL.I was given a book on discipleship & was on my own again with no direction- just a book.
Thank you for sharing your life.You’ll never now how much it helped me.You reminded me to count my blessings:) -again. I think i just about looked at your whole site!lol It’s really cool by the way:) Happy belated bday& i really loved wathchin your Bday home movie:) You are so cute!& funnier than you think! You have such a beautiful family!
I am very familiar with God’s mercy & grace - but I still find myself so unworthy of it. But isnt that what its all about? Yes our God is Mighty to save! Music has a huge impact on me.Theres a song about - ‘Jesus kept the faith in me-He chased me down &finished the race.’ I love Him so & i know how much He loves me! And i know that if He had to die just for me He would have. There is a song on the radio right now -’take these shackels off my feet so I can dance cuz i just want to praise You!’ That’s my heart. All i want to do is praise Him & read His word. As long as i am abiding in Him “It is well with my soul” Because nothing but the blood of Jesus can take away my sin, sorrow & pain. I will rise when He calls my name. Thank you for being part of the worship team.
I know i have been babbling. thanks for letting me vent.
You are a blessing to me. Your heart is so sweet. And i am so blessed to be part of C3. I have finally found my home church where i can finally be me! Thank you & your husband for your faithfulness. I pray God continue to bless you guys.I am so happy to know that you guys are so transparent & again i am so blessed that my family has a church home!
I know i dont really know you but i already really love you all.
Thanks for listening. And i hope i made sense - I am not eloquent with words as you - btw i love the way you write - very inspiring to me <3
Tomorrow school starts & its supposed to be a happy busy day. The Lord has blessed me so! My son will start homeschooling tomorrow & i’m so excited:) Have a blessed day& like you say - peace:) btw i love that!
Love - your sister in Christ,
Christina
Ps i hope & pray you all have a good week:)
Dear Christina,
Thank you for your heartfelt comment. You have truly been on a path, and I know God will use your transparency to touch many lives. Thank you for entrusting me with those things which I will hold in my heart - just between the two of us. You are in my prayers. Have a wonderful first week of school. Love, Angie
