No Good Deed....

Goes unpunished or recognized!! So over the past few weeks, I thought I had been accomodating (allowed hela folks to stay at my house who had no money), did my best to make things comfortable and nice for everyone, played hostess with the mostest and all that snazzy stuff you do for people who love you and what did I get in return? Basically a disrecpectful niece, a crazy sister and people angry with me over stuff that has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!! So for the next few weeks, months, maybe even YEARS, I'm closing the borders. Remember, I have NO children so I have no desire to play the 3rd parent anymore. Its too costly and I'm always the one paying and I'm NOT talking financially. Stick a fork in me, I'm SO DONE!

WOW...

Ok so we're officially 3 days away from Cory preaching his initial sermon. I'm overwhelmed with a range of emotions - happiness, excitement, nervousness, fatigue and everything in between!! I thank God that COry is such a cool, calm and collected dude, he's showing ZERO signs of fear (because we know God did not give us a spirit of fear) and he's ready for his big day. A few things I'm thankful for:

  1. Peace - we have had nothing but peace around this new chapter of Cory's life
  2. Praying friends near and far - I feel the prayers of all my friends and family
  3. Vision - I saw this day when I first met Cory. Although our lives then looked NOTHING like what they are now, I always knew we'd get here, even when it looked like we'd never make it!
  4. Vision again - I KNOW this is just a comma not a period. The things that I know God is going to acccomplish through Cory's life and testimony blow me away at times.
  5. The Holy Spirit - who has led and guided us to this point. We would have NEVER arrived here if we weren't led.

So Sunday July 12 at 5:00 PM is the big day/hour. This is going to be awesome!
