I most definitely experienced abundant life over the past few days, without a doubt! My weekend was chock full of awesome life memories, including our family's first year at the MS Walk, where we formed a team with some good friends from our Fairview Family in support of my Mom, who was diagnosed about 13 years ago. Despite the cold, windy, drizzly weather...we had a blast! It was a great time of fellowship & encouragement with great friends that are so special to us!
This weekend was also my little sisters Senior Prom! I can't believe she is so grown already, but you know what they say....time is fun when you're having flies! [cheesy joke accredited to my cheesy-joke-loving father-in-law. :)] But really. She is grown up & gorgeous & funny & all things lovely. I am so proud of her! We had a great time taking photos of her & her sweet boyfriend, Ethan...and believe it or not, my Nana's retirement community provided a great place for pictures! Lots of fun, for sure!
Speaking of my sweet Nana...she turns 90 next weekend! Seriously. 90 years old. Ten years less than 100. We are having a surprise party for her! I'm not worried about announcing that via my blog because, well, she was born in 1921. She doesn't know what a blog is, or how to read it. But she has no idea and its really cute. Except for the staff at her retirement home advised that we whisper "Surprise!" vs. yelling it, so as not to give her or any of the residents a heart attack. We have several family members coming in from GA that we rarely ever get to see, plus Walker will be in town! We can't wait to celebrate 90 years of her preciousness. Which is sometimes stubbornness, but I mean, that's okay too. My sister and I plan on buying her one of those sparkly Birthday Girl tiaras with pink rhinestones all over it. Fingers crossed we can talk her into wearing it. [I bet she will though, because it would perfectly match her hot pink velour jogging suit that she wears 6 days a week.]
My weekend full of abundant life also came with some abundant life-lessons. God has been at work in my heart this weekend, and I definitely want to share it! I can't seem to put it all into words though, at least not easily. So, I am currently working on that, and will hopefully finish it tomorrow then post! Nothing makes me more excited than to take what is stirring inside my heart, and put it into words that could potentially encourage someone else.
I pray that this week you will experience abundant life & see it & praise the Giver of it! I'll leave you with a few pictures:::
