Day 240 - Saturday, August 28

This morning started off with a very special time of worship. Hearing thousands of women's voices being lifted up to God was so beautiful!!

This is our group!!
Do you recognize anyone?

Lori from The Davidson Den lives near me and joined us on the trip!! It was so great to spend the weekend with her and get to know her better!!

Day 239 - Friday, August 27

We got up at 4:30 this morning to drive to Tulsa for the Women of Faith Conference.

Tonight, we got lost trying to find a particular restaurant for dinner. But ended up finding Wolfgang Puck's restaurant!!! What a treat for this foodie!!! And the food was A.MA.ZING!! The cool thing was that we had just heard one of the speakers talking about "detours" in your life that seem frustrating but are completely orchestrated by God.

waiting and waiting for a call or txt or ANYthing from my son that lets me know he is alive and well.....boys.

A good friend had a hysterectomy this week.
I made her a meal tonight and a "special gift"!!!

Day 229 - Tuesday, August 17

Jason has gotten into henna over the summer.
So tonight he gave me a henna tattoo.
Got to say, I LOVED the time it took that I was able to spend with him! :)
I'm savoring each of these moments this week.

you leave the henna on for several hours and then peel it off.
It washes off after a week or so.

Back to work today.
I took most of the summer off, but today I started my new schedule.

Day 227 - Sunday, August 15

Started out this week with no picture!! ugh!
After enjoying a wonderful service at church,
our family went out to lunch.
I love fast, cheap and delicious mexican food!!
Afterward, I took my boys school shopping.
I had a 30% off coupon at Kohl's and with sales of up to 80% on some things, we got some great deals!!! Gotta love that!!
Tonight I made panini's and we enjoyed our last evening with my MIL before she heads home. We have so enjoyed her visit!!

Prayer for a fellow P365er and a friend

I'd like to ask you all to diligently pray for

Elizabeth at Zizzie happenings

I just found out today that her husband of less than 10 years unexpectedly passed away. Elizabeth has been a faithful participant in Project 365 and I know she would appreciate all of your prayers as she navigates the hard days ahead.

Join me as we lift her up to our Father, encourage her and surround her with love.

Today was HOT....
...and very busy for me. I left the house at 7:15 this morning and didn't get home till after 4:00. As soon as I got home, I felt like I was going to be sick, laid down and fell instantly asleep for and hour. I think I was overheated.
So, no picture.
