IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

It's my birthday, and I’ll Daisy Duke if I want to! Yes, that’s right, I went to see the Dukes of Hazzard @ Duke Fest on my birthday! What an awesome childhood memory watching the Dukes. I wanted to grow up to be pretty and independent like Daisy and to marry Bo Duke. Come on girls, you know you did too. And they always had such innocent fun. Whatever happened to the “good ole days” TV shows!


We did have a great time. The kids got to see the cars from the show, ride a few carnival rides, and see the Atlanta Motor Speedway. And we even freshened up on our Duke trivia. And now I can put my picture of me with the General Lee when I was 10 next to these (and I will not announce my age) pictures with my children. A great birthday!

Deeper Still Conference 2008!

WOW!! What an awesome weekend! This was a Christian Women's conference with guest speakers Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Kay Arthur! 3 amazing women! It lasted Friday night and all day Saturday. There were approximately 50 women from our church (Southcrest Church) that went and spent the night together that Friday night! I shared a room with 3 precious ladies, Sheena, Kristie and Kathy. And guess what, they surprised me with a birthday celebration when we got back to the room on Friday night. Birthday cake and girl time with 20 ladies until 1am!! Who could ask for more?

Ok, back to the conference. It turned out to be the birth of a new life for me! I realized that our time here is very short and we were chosen for an exact purpose. To stop focusing on myself, and my needs, and turn that focus on fulfilling God's will for my life! I am fired-up and can hardly wait what to see what adventures he has in store for me! I'll be sure to keep you posted.
