52 Week of 52: Week 38
October 14, 2020
There has been much discussion
and debate over the exact day
that declares when we
first met
It is hard to define
since it took some time
and text messages before
we actually physically met
But I remember praying
and letting the Lord know
I was feeling like I was at a point
where I didn't think I could make it
How was I going to support myself
How was I going to keep it all afloat
I sent out a bit of an SOS
one laying out specific things I needed
The prayer was long
the prayer was detailed
the prayer was heartfelt
It was shortly after that, we met
so while the meeting
a laptop
and the exact date
We look to the "book of face"
who helps us remember
when we don't
when things actually happened
He friended me
to alleviate my fears, I assume
that the guy I was meeting at the
McDonalds for the laptop exchange
was not a crazy ax murderer.
So, October 14th is the day we celebrate
our “FB Friendaversary”

National Daughter Day
But I certainly have reason to celebrate!
These gals
who call me Mumsy
have transformed into
beautiful, young ladies
I now call friend.
Celebrating these beautiful gems

52 Weeks of 52 : Week 34
Week 34
September 16, 2020
A visit to my hometown
has stirred up quite a bit in my soul
that I can barely put into words
My connection to the Burg
has dwindled some
It has gotten more difficult to get back there
on a regular basis
since we live halfway across the country
This visit was a reminder
of how this place
my childhood stomping grounds
had a huge impact on who I am today
This weekend was so special to me
I enjoyed being able to hear my Dad speak
and take part in an amazing 250th celebration
of Davids Church
I am so thankful to have made the trip
I am so thankful to have decided
a trip during the first week back to school
during a pandemic was actually not a bad idea!
Because it was JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

A hometown visit offers
She is a beautiful soul and
Had it not been touched
And continue to be touched
Significantly
By this woman.
Mrs. June Baker
PE teacher
And now- my friend.
She always has a special ‘word’ to say
A significant way to make me feel valued
I only hope—
I pray
I can instill the same thing
To the students in my building
Mrs. Baker
Mrs. B
Life changer
World changer
Now— my friend
June
The deposits she made in my life
Now yield dividends
And spill out into the lives of
my students
