I'm gushing!
First, some exciting news-I have a new sister in law. Actually, she's not new, Scott got married 4 months ago! He and Mary kept it a secret for four months. They just went to the JP but didn't want everyone to poo-poo a big ceremony, which they'd like to have in the future, so they didn't tell anyone about the official "wedding". Their plan backfired though, as they realized it was just too hard to hide Mary's new last name on the mail and her driver's license, etc. This is my first SIL, so I'm kind of excited, even though they've been living together for over 2 years--I guess just making it official makes me happier for them.
I'm also gushing b/c I have great friends. Everywhere I look I have a good friend or two. I am so blessed. First Jen generously gives me another installment of cool clothes that I'd never pick out for myself but love to wear. I shamelessly accept them and then offer my spit up stained t-shirts to her...not sure why she won't ever borrow clothes from me, lol!
Then a sneaky friend I won't mention by name (but it startes with "S" and ends with "ummer") and her sweet husband spend their date night at the center putting together all the new furniture we bought on Wednesday. Wasn't it enough that she spent all day Wednesday shopping for the center, then she served on her shift on Thursday, then popped back in Thursday night to put together a lot of stuff? I had just read about Jesus washing his followers' feet before he was nailed to the cross and I thought of how I can better serve my volunteer staff-before I can think of any ways, they bless me instead.
These two examples don't even touch all the blessings I have in my friends. Leah puts up with my sporatic, self centered emails...and has been doing so for over 2 years...Shelly and I can pick right up where we left off, even if our busy motherhoods keep us away for weeks...I really don't know why any one would enjoy my company...I'm in awe of my friends and their sweet spirits. I'm going to steal a phrase from another good friend here: I think my friends are my friends just because I'm a ministry project for them :)
Have a blessed weekend.

Well, speaking as one of your friends...I am your friend because you have such a wonderful spirit and put up with me and my self-centered emails! ;-)
Honestly, you have helped me through many difficult times and I thank God that our cyber paths crossed!
