isn't that a scary question....and my first instinct it to say that I would not want to know. But wait, I don't know. My second quick instinct answer is to gather up all of the people that I love and go right here...(Maui)...I have lots more, but I will pace myself...
Today could be the day...or maybe next Tuesday....
ew, I just hate thinking about it, as I am sure most would say...in fact, I do not think about it....
anymore...
you see, as a young girl, I had a real real real hard time with death and the possibility of death for those whom I loved. It was a messy little situation for a few, well more than a few years and unfortunately, it lasted alllloonngg time. I was one of those girls who could never last the duration of a slumber party....my mom & dad got those late night "can you come pick her up" calls...and it was not until I was physically placed on a van of jr. high students from my church youth group that made its way up to the local mountains to confirmation camp..that trip changed everything. The good news is that I made it...and from that moment I was okay! What a relief for me and for my poor parents. I can say now that maybe that was the first official time that I relied completely on GOD for my protection..and for the protection of other while I was gone. I probably did not think that at the time, but I can say that clearly now...and that is a really good feeling!
so...back to the question...and the book....One month To Live...we are going to start a 4 week study on the book at church starting Sunday, so if you wanna to follow along with me, go out and get the book! I cant stop reading it and it is one of those 1 chapter a day for 30 days books....maybe I will read it completely and then go back and start over at one chapter a day....
now for those of you that have already read it...is it me and my obsession for paper, or have you found that this book is a wealth of topics for scrapbooking? or for journaling? I am amazed that in the 15-20 pages I have already read, it is has given me a ton of topics & titles for some great layouts...hmmm????
and of course doodles....but I am going to pace myself so that I can go through the book with Saddleback and with you...but here is an intro doodle...
wow...what a lot of really good little things to take with you each day...and what alot of COLOR! yikes, I have been diving into lots of color lately...just flapping my creative wings....
okay, so onto other things...today is my kids camp class at Timeless Treasures...then we are hitting the theaters to see Whorton hears a Who...and then I have to make a big drop off at the post office, tonight I am doing a Fiskars training with my Freckle Friends and then ...we are off to AZ for spring break...the boys are so excited they are cranky! we, the boys, the dog & I will hit the highway way before the sun comes up tomorrow and then John will meet up with us on Friday...we are going to take in some sun...some Angels & Diamond Backs spring training games, kitting for the cruise and relaxation, maybe...nevertheless...we are all excited to get there!
pray for safe travels for us, and that the dog does not have any accidents in the car like the last trip...bbllaaahhhkkkk!
