i got to hang out with mel and kelly!

ok, so just got back from hanging out with mel and kelly! so great! i have been anxiously awaiting this meeting. we met and talked and talked and it was amazing to spend time with them. i am very excited to be in this place in life where it brings me joy to have fellowship with other women. i never in my wildest dreams thought this possible. but, not only is it happening, it makes me so happy to be with them. god, has been doing such weird things, like since i have begun receiving prayer again, i have seen, jaime, george, corey, lindsay, mel, and kelly. if the cosbys show up i will drop dead of surprise, not really...i am almost expecting it. i also heard that my beloved susan is moving back. that would be an amazing time for me, to have her in my life right now. i miss her so. things are going well still, i am still smiling a lot, and now my face seems to not ache from it, which i am glad about, because it means i am getting used to it. i also think that i am about to receive many wrinkles, from laughing. i am pretty wrinkle-free for being almost 40, but i realized it is because i do not smile that often, so i may age a whole lot really soon, which i am so ok with. the past few days i got to spend at calvin crest, dave helped with a rock climbing camp, so the kids and i hung out in the lodge and down in sherwood a little. amazing things are happening to me, i still have no pain in my knee! janice took me to a waterfall, which was one of the most beautiful things that i have ever seen. i walked across a log! and wednesday night, went down to sherwood and prayed and worshipped for a long time, and when i looked up, i saw a whole whole bunch of stars and no moon! i thought that janice had prayed it away, i really did, and then she told me that sometimes the moon doesn't make it over the trees, and they call it a moonless forest. i was so stunned. i even saw a falling star, which caused me to laugh and cry. so amazing. i am starting to like the nature more and more, i feel like there are so many things that are being restored in my life. beauty in nature is one of them. i keep thinking that soon this will end, but it doesn't, i think part of that is me making the choices and being obedient to stay in this place. i am looking forward to seeing jaime again when she returns from the beach. and tomorrow, i get to go out in nature again with janice, maybe find a bigger waterfall! today was a great day! a really awesome day! and oh my gosh! little naomi pina is the cutest thing ever! sweet sweet baby. wish i could hold her someday!
