Hello...September

This is my very good friend Steffi.  The only one who could crack up jokes, I mean stupendous, original jokes that get s me really laughing out loud. No dire moments or experiences with her--only a good laugh and pure humor from the heart (jokes that make you feel so young, hopeful and dreamy)

So, this is us Today @ Barnes & Noble. Our Labor Day Holiday is marked with non-stop sharing updates on both of our families, special events at church, exercise, work and of course the conversation that many women dread for the outcome--making the best of the aging process... I thank God for Steffi. 

When I seem to contradict my memory about anything, my mind just goes on the offense and I just let God know that it's okay when remembering becomes my antithesis. And I just tell the Lord to be always my guide, my anchor, when I get tongue-tied and experience writer's block. I don't know about you but I know that our God is an awesome God. He hears us; He sees every tear that falls. And He wants us to trust Him fully.

It is comforting to have a very good friend that reflects your core values and can relate to you in hierarchy of personal things without initial judgment. I believe what keeps our friendship going stronger is our reverence to God's strongholds in our lives. Without our faith in Jesus' finished work at Calvary Cross, we would be lost, caving in to the popular trends. Thank You Jesus.

Well, Hello September. I am off to a good start.  The first day of September is just the beginning of creating many more good memories. We should not build relationships on contingencies. Instead, take a risk. If the risks didn't pay off, at least you took the chance and that's a reward in all counts.
