WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE???

I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ME. THIS PAST THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO THE WOMEN OF FAITH CONFERENCE IN SAN ANTONIO WITH ON OF MY DEAR FRIENDS FROM WORK. FIRST I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M THANKFUL MY HUBBY GAVE ME THE BLESSING TO ATTEND. WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN HE IS AND BTW I LOVE HIM MORE AND MORE EACH DAY NO MATTER WHAT. AT THE CONFERENCE THURSDAY NIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME I REMEMBER HEARING NICHOLE JOHNSON SHE IS THE CUTIES LADY BY FAR AND VERY GIFTED BY GOD WITH HER FUNNY SKITS THAT SHE HERSELF WRITES. I HAVE HEAD MARK SCHULTZ SING BUT THIS IS ONE WONDERFUL MAN OF GOD. HIS NEW CD BROKEN AND BEAUTIFUL WILL BE ONE OF MY NEXT PURCHASES. IT IS FILLED WITH TRUE STORIES ONE THAT HE TOLD THAT MADE ME BAWL LIKE A BABY WAS THE SONG HE WROTE ABOUT "WALKING HER HOME" WHICH WAS AN EMOTIONAL TALE OF A COUPLES RELATIONSHIP FROM THEIR FIRST DATE UNTIL THE WIFE IS CALLED HOME TO HEAVEN. THEN SHEILA WALSH WHO IS SO CUTE WITH HER ACCIENT SHE MADE YOU REALIZE "YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD JUST AS YOU ARE" THIS IS SO VERY TRUE BUT SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED A REMINDER. THEN SANDI PATTY CAME ON LAST WITH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE. WE ALL KNOW SHE IS JUST AS HUMAN AS WE ALL ARE AND HAS MADE MISTAKES JUST LIKE SOME OF US DO AND BY GODS GRACE SHE AND WE ARE ALL FORGIVEN FOR OUR SINS. FUNNY I HAVE NEVER BEEN WHERE SOMEONE WAS PROTESTING ANYONE (JUST SAW ON TV) BUT THERE WAS A MAN SPEAKING OUT AGANIST SANDI PATTY FOR HER ADULTERY. YES SHE DID COMMIT ADULTERY BUT WE ARE NOT THE JUDGE OF HER SIN AND THAT IS BETWEEN GOD AND HER. I'M THANKFUL GOD IS A FORGIVING GOD AS YOU ALL KNOW HE WAS THE ONLY SINLESS MAN ON EARTH. FRIDAY MORNING THE FIRST SPEAKER WAS ANITA RENFROE. SHE IS SO VERY FUNNY AND SANG "WILLIAM TELL MOMISMS" (AKA "THE MOM SONG"). I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED SHE WAS JUST SAYING WHAT WE ALL SAY ABOUT LIFE. THEN THERE WAS PATSY CLAIRMONT WHO I HAVE HEARD BEFORE AND SHE IS JUST WONDERFULL AND SPEAKS OUT ABOUT OUR FEELINGS. SHE IS THIS LITTLE PINT SIZE WOMAN AND SHE TELLS US "YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THAT YOU HAVE MORE MOOD SWINGS THAT BRAIN CELLS AND MORE HORMONES THAN HALLELUJAHS. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND POP A DARK-CHOCOLATE BON-BON ; WE GIRLS ARE IN THS TOGETHER." I TRULY ENJOYED HER! THEN WE MET JIM CAVIEZEL WHO PROTRAYED "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST". I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE AS I JUST KNOW IN MY HEART HOW DEEPLY IT HURTS ME WITHOUT SEEING THIS I KNOW THE SUFFERING JESUS WENT THROUGH IS MORE THAN I CAN BARE TO SEE. BUT JIM DID BEAR SOME REAL SUFFERING DURING THE MAKING OF THIS FILE. THIS LEAD HIM TO A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WIHT JESUS. I TRULY BELIEVE HE IS A GENUINE CHRISTIAN MAN AND HE TOLD US "WE WERE ALL BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS OF GOD". I TRULY ENJOYED HIM AND KNOW HE IS TRUE TO HIS CALLING. THELMA WELLS SHE SPENDS HER TIME HELPING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD LEARN TO BEE THEIR BEST. THIS IS SOMETHING I STRIVE FOR IN MY LIVE IN ALL AREAS. THEN WE WERE BLESSED TO HEAR MANDISA. YOU ALL KNOW SHE WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL SEASON FIVE. SHE HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND LOVE FOR GOD AND KNOW SHE DID NOT MAKE IT ON AMERICAN IDOL SO THAT SHE COULD USE HER VOICE TO PRAISE GOD WITH HER SINGING. THEN MARILYN MEBERG WHO I HAVE HEARD BEFORE IS A WOMAN WHO SPEAKS OF REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES AND WHAT A BLESSING SHE WAS. FRIDAY NIGHT I ATTENDED A CONCERT AND SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME MAX LACUADO WHO I DID NOT KNOW IS ALSO A PREACHER IN SAN ANTONIO. I ALWAYS KNEW HE WROTE GREAT CHILDRENS BOOKS AND ADULT AS WELL. HE IS WONDERFUL. SINGING WAS MANDISA SANDI PATTY AND MICHAEL W SMITH (MY FAVORITE NEXT TO MARK SCHULTZ). SATURDAY MET SQUIRE RUSHNELL WHO WAS FORMER VP OF FAMILY PROGRAMS FOR ABC WAS A FATHER OF THE ACCLAIMED "SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK" AND ABC "AFTER SCHOOL SPECIALS. HE HAS A BOOK CALLED "WHEN GOD WINKS AT YOU" THIS IS ABOUT TRUE STORIES THAT HIGHLIGHT HOW GOD MAKES INCREDIBLE THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR LIVES EVERY SINGLE DAY. REMINDED ME OF THE TIME I MET MY HUBBY (I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR A BOYFRIEND OR MARRIAGE OR EVEN A DATE) BUT GOD HAD ANOTHER IDEA FOR ME. SQUIRE IS MARRIED TO LOUISE DUART WHO IS AN IMPRESSIONIST. CAROL BURNETT IS ONE OF MANY SHE DOES VERY WELL SHE IS FUNNY. THEN WE MET SHERRI SHEPPARD WHO YOU ALL MAY HAVE SEEN ON THE VIEW. SHE SHARED HOW SHE CAME TO BE ON THE VIEW. WHAT AN AMAZING LIFE SHE HAS HAD. OUR LAST SPEAKER WAS LUCI SWINDOLL I HAVE ALSO HEARD HER BEFORE. SHE IS FUNNY AND A WONDERFUL SPEAKE AS WELL. HERE IS MY THOUGHT FOR NEXT TIME............GET READY GIRLS AND START SAVING AS I TRULY FEEL MY TWO DAUGHTERS MY WONDERFUL MOTHER IN LAW AND HER DAUTHER WOULD JUST LOVE GOING TO THIS EVENT. SO START SAVING NOW!!!! I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE NEXT EVENT IS . I CAN SAY FOR ME IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY I SPENT!!!

WHAT'S NEXT ON MY LIST??? TODAY I HOPE TO SPEND TIME WITH MY HUBBY SEE MY GRAND GIRLS AND FAMILY. THEN IT WILL BE BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY. ALSO A LITTLE STUDY TIME FOR THE CLASS I'M TAKING FOR WORK TO BECOME A CERTIFIED CODER. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME FOR THIS ENDEAVER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS WILL BE TAKING ME BUT THIS IS ONE TOUGH CLASS AND A VERY HARD TEST REQUIRED TO BECOME CERTIFIED.

ANOTHER REQUEST IS FOR YOU ALL TO PRAY FOR MY SON. HE IS GOING TO BE GRADUATING BAYLOR IN MAY AND HAS ALOT ON HIS PLATE TO DEAL WITH IN HIS LIFE. I KNOW GOD WILL LEAD HIM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
