So, I realized something about myself last night…
I realized that I - a grown woman - have…a “blankie”.
That’s right, a blankie! I didn’t want to admit it to myself…I mean, I kept thinking “I’m just chilly” or “I’m sure everyone else likes to wrap up in a fur blanket…fur side down…in Florida…in July!”
Then last night it happened. I finally had to break down and wash my fur blanket. And that’s when I realized how bad it was. I kept reaching for it…
I even checked the washer more than once to see if it was done yet!
I know, it’s both weird and sad at the same time.
But, I guess we all find ourselves needing comfort…needing to reach for something familiar. I guess I’m no different than anyone else (at least no different than most 5 year olds who love their blankies!).
I guess when the world gets crazy and things seem to constantly change….sometimes we just need to find our “safe place” and shut the rest out…
…for just a little while. 
It’s okay to admit that we need comfort…and it’s okay to be still and “regroup”. Tomorrow always comes and all the exciting, challenging, wonderful, scary changes that will - no doubt - come along with it.
Anyway, there’s my confession for the day.
“Hello, my name is Angie and I love my blankie!”
…peace!
My heart is heavy today.
If you read this blog regularly…even if for purely entertainment purposes - I assume you have, or at least are comfortable with, the concept of real-life faith.
So, that in mind, I’m asking all of my readers to join me in praying for a few things that are on my heart.
- Two of my dear friends, Jennie and Sandi, have recently lived through the loss of a parent. I’ve mentioned the passing of Sandi’s father. She writes about this in her post “Waiting for the Sunrise” (to read this click on the “C3 Wives” link to the right). Jennie’s mom passed away just yesterday morning. Please pray for the Conrad and Jacobson families - pray for comfort and strength.
- My baby nephew, Kael, has been experiencing severe seizures over the past few months. A couple of them have been “grand mal” - one they thought was fatal, as he seemed lifeless. He had a reaction to the anti-seizure medication, so they are concerned about how to treat the seizures without causing further complications. Please pray for healing and for strength for the family (Katie, Michael and Ronin).
- My friends, Bill and Patti, have been going through many trials - please pray for them as they hold on believing in God’s power to guide and to intervene.
There are countless other needs and struggles. Every life, every heartbeat represents a story…a journey.
If you pray…please remember these. I thank you, in advance, for your faithfulness. I know God will bless you in return.
With sincerest gratitude,
Angie.
