I'm wondering why it's showing up so large. I had to manually resize it here by dragging the corners even though photobucket it showing it small. Hmmm. Sometimes technology puzzles me.

Honest to Blog.

I used to blog fairly regularly at Myspace but it was hard because I have a lot of people on my friends list and sometimes, I didn't really want everyone there reading what I had to say.

I guess I'd like a certain demographic reading and that's not there. (ha ha)

Life's been one heck of a roller coaster lately. I had a young girl at the Speed The Light walk a thon today come up to me and say "I really felt like I was supposed to pray a hedge of protection around you, so I did earlier". She continued on, "Have you been under attack a lot lately?". Uh, yeah. I gave her a very nondescript answer and was so thankful that someone so young would be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit speaking and then obedient to tell me. This girl didn't know me. She didn't know anything about me. Wow.

It was just a confirmation for me, that I'm not crazy. That it's not just us imagining some things. No matter how many others want to minimize the trials and circumstances, there's no denying they are there. We ARE going through some trials and I can only hope that I draw closer to God through them all.

In a week, we leave for Florida. I'm so excited to be leaving here and going somewhere to spend time with our extended family. First, James' mom and stepdad and his sister and her family. Then, Ekaterina and I stay and meet my sister and Gavin for another week. What a blessing this will be.

I hope to come home refreshed and renewed.
