A Woman or A Lady?

Do you know the difference between a woman and a lady? A guy friend recently explained the two and it was so good I just had to pass it on to you....

A woman asks for respect.
A lady is given respect without asking for it.

Girls, may we all be "ladies." :-)

I am alive!!!

Hey there! I know it's been a while and I do appologize for that. I am alive and kickin' though!!! :-) I have been very busy these last several months. My job as a pastoral assistant keeps me very busy. I've also been promoted to "Single's Director" at the church and that is very challanging, stretching and a very good growing time. I never would have thought that I would be in this position, but God does know what He's doing and it is good. :-)

Other than work (which is what I do most of the time...), I have joined the church's softball team! Yes, I do throw like a girl...I'm told I run like one too...and I haven't heard if I hit like one, but I did make a double the other night!!! I was very excited! :-) We don't always win the games, but we do have fun - which is the point of it all anyway!

Other activities include doing stuff with my small group friends - we do have some great times! The 4th of July was a blast - literally, but we didn't blow anyone or anything up! :-) And nothing caught fire either!

I've also had the priviledge of speaking at two of the ATI Family Conferences - Tyler and Nashville. Lord willing, I will be in Indy in August. I have been so blessed by meeting some awesome daughters of our Lord. You just don't know how much I enjoy getting to speak and pour into the lives of my sisters! :-) Lord willing, I will be back in Dallas at EXCEL in the Fall as well.

I'm going to have to go now, but I do pray that you are encouraged to keep on following hard after God and making Him the center and first in your heart and life! God is sooooo awesome!
