Prayer request
I am requesting prayers on behalf of a coworker of mine who passed away this week…well, really, for her family. Colleen hired me on the job & was an amazing encourager & inspiration to everyone I work with. She’s had cancer for 7 long years & pushed through the most grueling treatments with her sarcasm & humor…very independent & not at all afraid to joke about the side effects of her medicine. She lived alone & was by herself when she passed out in her bathroom last Wednesday or Thursday morning. We were all concerned when she didn’t come to work so the cops went to her house to find here there. I think what makes most of us sad is the fact that she was so independent & would want anyone to worry about her….so she was alone when it happened. Monday morning she passed away with her brother & sister by her side.

How about that election? Even though it went differently than many of us would have liked, it’s no reason to be angry when it’s in God’s hands. Confused? You bet! I don’t see how we can elect someone into office that we know virtually nothing about. Pretty scary if you ask me! With all the praying we were doing, it is evident that this is God’s plan….be it good or bad. A milestone for America is what it is, & even though I am no fan of the new Prez elect, I’m interested to see what will pan out in the coming years.
How about counting our blessings to end this sad post!
~ I am blessed with a husband that surprises me with flowers & cards because “it’s a Tuesday & I love you”
~ I am blessed with friends that I can have fun, secret conversations with & laugh until our stomachs hurt
~ We are blessed with a loving God & a massive family that we will get to spend eternity with
~ Blessed with health to go to work, see the beauty of the world, hear our favorite songs, smell holiday smells, & feel the warmth of friends near us
….and those pictures are coming…I promise!
Happy Wednesday!
