Good evening....I keep losing track of the days and not getting in here to update and post things.  
Lately things have really gotten busier in my life.  I am looking forward to being even busier, and anxious honestly to get started on things.  
Let me back up a bit, yesterday my Pastor came over for coffee and some conversation.  With all that we have been dealing with here at home, she has been praying for me and encouraging me to hang on till it passes, she mentioned that she just hasn't had time to even touch base to see how "WE" are holding up.  Not just Shelby.   So it was a welcome visit since we really haven't had much time to sit and just relax with another adult since the chaos that went down a few short weeks ago.  

So during our coffee talk, I mention to her and J.R., that I had a dream about a week or so ago and it keeps coming to the front of my mind, no matter how often or how strongly I resist it.   I had a dream that I started a group based on the mom's group I had belonged to several years ago called MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers).  Since I no longer have preschoolers in my house, I can no longer attend the meetings.   It always made me sad that it had to end just because your kids grew up and went to school.   But, I digress.  

So when I presented the idea to her, she thought it was a great idea and I told her I could come up with some information for her to look at, and do some research to see if there was in fact an organization such as MOPS geared more towards mothers with teens, particularly daughters as I don't see teen boys being interested in attending a meeting with their mom and doing a craft.  But hey who knows right?  
I have gotten so pumped about all this.  I can't wait to unleash it on our community.  I pray and pray that there is a hunger for something like this around this area.  
I came up with it, when I attended a "Girlfriends group" at our church and thought that it might be a good way for Shelby and I to open up some doors of communication in a fun way, and spend some "just us" time away from home.   Although it was fun to get out just her and I, the group just wasn't what I was looking for.   I think that experience sparked the dream to be honest.

So two days into it and Her and I are creating our own group!!   Is that exciting or what?    I have so many ideas, and so many things I want to do and envision, I hope I don't overwhelm myself in the process.   My pastor said that the reason why it kept coming back to the front of my mind, is because GOD wants it there.  He is tapping me on the shoulder, and wanting me to listen.  So, here I am listening as hard as I can, and all I hear is GO FOR IT!!    I may even have to make a separate blog just for the group.   That would be so fun too.   My life couldn't be better actually...I am so very blessed!!!   I have healthy kids, a man who I adore and who adores me right back, a church family who is the Best ever!!   Now I have this opportunity to make a difference, to start something new, to embark on a special journey that will allow me to grow in my walk with Christ, and bring him to other lives as well.    Who would have thought that I would be here in my lifetime.  I sure didn't but I am glad I am right where I am.  
Well the letters on this screen are getting blurry, better get the contacts out and get some sleep.   I am not even sure if I can sleep because I have so many things running around in my brain right now.  
Good night, God Bless and Thanks for listening to me ramble.
