"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

I love AMERICA...

Today I walked up to the Bank with Catie and Jack. Afterwards we decided to go and treat ourselves to Starbucks. I do need to make up for all those months of not drinking what I LIKE.

Anyways, I just loved the walk up there. To see the mountains GOD created, to see the blue sky and white clouds. To hear the laughter of the children I was with. Just amazing. Praise GOD!!

But then also, to have people wave at me whom I don't know. Not stare at me because I look different, but to give a friendly wave. And every time we had to cross a street the cars let us go first. This is just SOOOO DIFFERENT from what I am use to the past 10 months of my life, but what an awesome reminder from GOD as to how wonderful a place I get to call home is.

Everything around me is just feeling normal. Now I just wish I could feel like myself again. That is the one thing that doesn't feel right yet, ME! But I know and trust GOD, HE'll have me where HE wants me in no time at all. And until that time, I am just going to enjoy the process that HE is taking me through.

After all, this still is ALL ABOUT HIM!!

I think its not about the pple, the cars... I think its about being home and around the ones we love and the feeling of belonging :)
Praise Jesus you are home and happy! That is the most important, afterall home is where the heart is!
