Happy Day

Today was just a great day in church!  I am so thankful that God has led us to Connect - it has been such a wonderful place for healing for both Scott and I.  Today was no exception.  The worship was incredible and the message applicable - the service ended with the song O, Happy Day - which is the song that closed out Angela's funeral.  The same guy that sang at her funeral sang today, and he is just incredible!  Yes, there were tears, but behind those tears was joy knowing that she is worshiping our Lord and that every day is a happy day for her.  

Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.  I am so blessed to BE a mom and have two of the most beautiful (both inside and out) girls!  They are so much fun to watch!  I am thankful that God has allowed me to teach at the same school that they attend - it is such a blessing to not only work at the best school in the world - but to get to see my kids all day long!  What more could I ask for?

As thankful as I am to have my family with me, I also have such a deep sadness knowing that Angela is not here to celebrate this day with her family.  She was such a great mom!  I pray that God will give her girls something really special tomorrow to bring joy to their day - a joy that reminds them of their mom and how very much she loved them!
