Wishful Wednesday

I wish I was doing something really fun tonight! Do you ever feel like that? I feel completely caught up at school (although there is always more to do...a lot more actually), but for some reason I'm able to catch my breath after going non-stop for so long. I just feel like going somewhere (out of town) for the night and being spontaneous. I guess I'll just settle for actually spending the night at home relaxing and getting things in order around here. That is a rarity too :)

After school today, we worked on the parade float for our school. It didn't take too long and I think tomorrow night will be fun. I was on my way to church, but turned around. I decided that I didn't need to go filling up my schedule again. So instead, Matty and I are going to take Blakely to the park, sit down and eat supper together, and just enjoy each other's company. BTW, Matt won a $50 gift card to Long Horn Steakhouse (it just opened yesterday) for getting the most new business this year so far. I am so proud of him and can't wait to go to the new hot spot in town! :)

I got the best e-mail from our VP of league today. I thought I'd share it with y'all because it made my day and warmed my heart.

Good morning! I wanted to thank everyone for all of your hard work on Project Rosebud. It was a huge success! Eight girls received a day I’m sure they’ll never forget, and I hope a day that will significantly impact their future. DG shared with me her experience with C. She’s the girl that got a lot of her hair cut and shopped with NJ. C is in DG’s class at TCMS. She said that before this week, C sat back hunched over and never talked with anyone. DG said that Monday a totally different child came to her classroom. C has been wearing her new clothes, talking & laughing with people, and her body language has completely changed. She used to sit back slumped over, and now she seems confident and happy. DG was amazed at the transformation.

It touches me so much to think that we could take one day out of our lives and impact a little girl that much. I think everyone there on Saturday could testify in how much the girls seemed to have gotten out of the experience, but to hear how much it changed her personality at school is such a blessing. So, thank you for all that you did in making this project a success!

Ok, I'm going to try to finish up So Long Insecurity by Beth tonight too.

Psalm 37:7, 39-40
Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him.
Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top.
The spacious, free life is from God, it's also protected and safe.
God-strengthened, we're delivered from evil— when we run to him, he saves us.
