I want to do more with my life!  Make progress, see changes, live life to the fullest, enjoy the little things, laugh, etc! Going on vacation mode since I won't have much if any time online tomorrow except to check to make sure flights are on schedule. If you have my email and you send me an email don't be surprised to get an away vacation message.  I will try to check messages if I can but I can't promise that I will be able to.  My priority is to spend time with my friend and her family and to enjoy this vacation. God is blessing me so much by providing me a way to take this much needed vacation.  Even though I am on disability and making less then someone working full time at minimum wage He has provided a way for this tri to happen and everything seems to be falling into place.  Especially financially, which was my biggest stressor about the whole thing.  Praise God.  May I spend the money in a way that honors Him while at the same time enjoying it.  Obviously some will be for touristy stuff and admissions and for some meals out but I want others to go in a way that honors Him.  If He wants me to spend it on something or someone I want to be open to what He wants me to do.  If He wants me to spend it on me that is great too.  Although I'd really be honored if He led me to a shelter or some place to give a small financial donation.  I don't get to church much so I don't end up tithing like I want to.  He told me a year or so ago that a tithe doesn't have to be given exclusively to a church and it can be monetary or not.  It can even be just a dollar or two.  Whatever He can use me for I want Him too...and I want to have the courage to allow Him to use me. My friend and her family are not Christians.  This causes me a bit of anxiety so prayers would be welcome for this.  I'd love to at the very least have God use me to plant a little seed into their lives that shows them that God really truly is Love and how good He is.  I don't expect them to accept Him overnight...but it would be nice to at least plant a little seed in their heart so that their hearts are softened to the Lord and they have an increased interest in knowing more about Him.   Anyway, I am babbling now.  And I'm not finished packing yet.  So I need to go.  ***HUGS***  Take care and God bless to all my DS friends and anyone who is reading this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cmffLlkwxc
