Sweet Surprises!

I have this very kind friend. Her name is Judy. Life has not been easy to her, in fact, it's been quite difficult. Judy was born with CP. In many ways it had dictated who she was, what she was going to do, and where she was going to go in life. As an adult Judy came to know the Lord as her Savior. A beautiful story. Through learning the Word, listening to Joyce Meyer, and fellowshipping with other believers, Judy began a personal journey to emotional freedom. She's still working at it today and I'm honored to be alongside her through this journey.

She's been a special friend who thinks of our family often. She calls, e-mails, sends cards and absolutely loves Addison. She and I live 45 minutes away from one another so we don't get to see each other too often...but when we do, it's always a blast!

I got to see Judy today and she blessed my socks off with this Vera Bradley bag she bought for me (a combo gift for my b-day and Christmas). Perfect for those days when I'm on the run with Addison. What a gift! I mean, seriously. So very loving and heartfelt. When I'm with Judy I am reminded to take life slowly and gently and to calm down. She has a soothing effect on me...blessed I am to know her!
