Today was an a-----mazing day. My family and I got to see our favorite band, Third Day. Not only did we get to see them, we were front row center stage! What an great way to spend the day before Easter! We had the best time at the Nashville Super Speedway, thanks to a sweet client, who blessed us with amazing suite tickets to the race. Fun, fun, fun!
The best part of the weekend comes tomorrow, though. It's overwhelming to my soul to think of the sacrifice that was made for the world so many years ago. To think that someone loves me that much to give their Son for me absolutely blows me away. The blood He shed so many years ago is precious and blessed. I am so glad to have the peace of knowing because of His sacrifice, I will live forever. Thank you Jesus, for all you have sacrificed!
~I pray that all my friends and family have a wonderful and blessed Easter. I love you all!

My Sweet Girls
One of the greatest joys in my life is being the mother of my two wonderful daughters. It's so amazing to witness how God fearfully and wonderfully made them. From the moment they were placed in my arms, I knew what God's intent was for them......GREATNESS. Now, I am not talking about the world's definition of greatness...money, fame, power. I am talking about making real impacts on the people they come into contact with, through kindness, leading and walking by faith and basically just knowing that they do have a purpose here.
My 18 year old is in her freshman year of college, and has the everyday struggles of a average ordinary college kid. It has been tough sitting back and letting her work out some of the tough things she's had to get through.....adjusting to her new found freedom, and all of the time constraints with trying to work and keep up with her studies so that she is able to help with her college budget. But, I have to tell you, she is one of the most graceful people I know. No matter how hard it gets for her, she always has a smile on her face and a great attitude. To me that is just the beginning of her GREATNESS factor. I miss having her around everyday, but not nearly as much as her little sister.
And there is Hannah. What a great kid! She has the uncanny gift of never having met a stranger. She is like her dad, she has an old soul....you know the kind of person I'm talking about..........the first time you talk to them, you feel as if you have always known them. I could go on and on, being the doting mother that I am :-) I guess what I am trying to express is how blessed I feel by having the privilege of helping raise such 2 amazing girls. Thank you God!
