Definitely keeping you and this in my prayers. Thanks for the update. Keep up the great work...you ARE enough :) Love you, friend.
Happy "Golden" Birthday! 18 on the 18th is really cool :) What a beautifully written birthday post. Maybe some day I'll get to meet this amazing young woman :) Have a fantastic day and a terrific year...I'm trying to remember 18...I think it was a pretty fun year ;)
I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your father. Sending love, hugs, and prayers your way.
I definitely think I could use more "thinking" on this, but I did manage to write a blog post about it (one of my shorter posts by the way...ha!) Thanks for this prompt to reflect. Praying for you and your P's...this may be my shortest comment too ;)
Love & hugs, Amanda
I'm 32 (you know that because you were at my birthday dinner...still pinching myself about that one!) I love that right now, I am feeling like I am doing what God has called me to do. I never imagined I'd be single at 32, but now I am able to embrace that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. I want to continue to minister to the children in my life...those in the hospital where I'm a pediatric nurse, and those who are placed in my home as foster children (even after they go home). I also want to continue to remember these words from St. Francis of Assisi--"Preach the Gospel at all times...If necessary, use words." and hope that others are able to see Jesus in me and in the way I have chosen to live my life, even if I don't have the words to tell them.
Happy Birthday, Tammy! I'm so blessed to know you and wish you all the best in the days, weeks, months, and years to come :)
Love & hugs.
Aww, you're so sweet! I love that it made you smile...pretty sure that's one of the things God put me here to do :) It actually makes me laugh that my comment was by FAR the longest too...seriously, I "may" have a talking(typing) issue ;)
Love, hugs, and prayers to you...hope to talk again soon! Have a fantastic day back at home with the fam!
I was going to be the first commenter ala "Gitzen Girl Groupie" (that's me!), but was in the middle of writing a post...four is a good number though :) I was, however, going to write that I'm so proud of you too :) Also that I'm very blessed to know you (already told ya that a time or two, but there's another one) and that you have not been far from my thoughts with love, hugs, and prayers being sent at every thought. Thank you for the update--I'm so glad that the book is coming to life and that your vision is coming to reality (the nurse in me also really likes the skeleton-ligament-muscle visual ;) ). You are awesome. Keep up the great work!
With love from (apparently) the World's Longest Commenter,

Oh my goodness, those were hilarious! I especially love how you dressed like her in your video...that really cracked me up. I live in an "accent neutral" place, so tend to pick up accents of those around me for a bit, then go back to my "non-accent". My aunt's a Southern gal now...so she may be throwing out some y'alls, or even an all y'all at breakfast ;) SO funny!
Mmm, that IS a good quote :) I mostly just remember the songs...now I need to see it again!
"I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason bringing something we must learn and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return..." ~For Good from Wicked {LOVE!}
You HAVE to go see Wicked if you get a chance...it is SO good! I didn't know the whole story (or read the book) before going and that made it even better. The music is great! Of course, you also need to see The Wizard of Oz too...total classic (and, I think I believe my dad when he told me it is the most quoted movie...SO many good quotes from that movie!) Thanks for the comment :) I'd be interested to read a Tam post about "wicked" ;)
