Happy be-lated anniversary Mr & Mrs. Booth...

Tonight I was checking my blog and on my random playlist the song by Alan Jackson came up "Remember When". It reminded me of my dear sister in Christ who recently celebrated a 30 year wedding anniversary with her husband on March 15th. The good Lord knew I needed Claudia (and apparently she needed me), so he sent her to work with me at Pomona. Each morning I can't wait to go in and see her smile and her very cheerful hello (some days it's more cheerful than others if she's had caffine). We have shared SOOOOO much in the short year and half that we've known one another. We've laughed a lot, cried a lot, talked a lot, and shared the Lord a lot with each other and our co-workers. She is a true blessing to me, in how she lives her life focusing on Christ, as we all should. Not everything is rosy in her life. Yet, she always, always finds the blessings to focus on. One of her greatest blessing is her husband of 30 years. They have been through so much and survived it all because of Jesus's love and forgiveness. The song "Remember When" made me think of their 30 years together. I wish I had thought to mention them sooner, but God placed it on my heart today. Thank you dear friend, for your example as a faithful child of God. You are a blessing!:-} I'm encouraged to be more Christ like because of you!

She sounds like a beautiful Christian woman. No wonder you two get along so well you are so much alike :-D

Love YOU,

Any bites on the house? Praying you are at peace with this transition as well as your paper and daily life events.

NO bites yet! We have a showing on Saturday morning. It's great to know that God is in control and he will place us where he wants us.
I hit the books again starting Friday night and all weekend. Taking a short break for church on Sunday. I have until Tuesday to turn in 15 pages. My prof. gave me some good direction in a meeting on Tues. If I can get it all down on, well I'd say paper but we've gone green. So, if I can get it all down on jumpdrive memory, I'm good to go. Please pray, I need the strength. Love you, A
