The past week has been a difficult week. Two of our loved ones passed and we have traveled miles to be with family and friends. Even though the services were miles apart they were very similar. The both were saved men, trustees of the church are greatest workers for the kingdom. But the one factor that touched me most was the strength of their wives!!

These women demonstrated to we how a Christian woman is to honor her husband during the time of bereavement. They both pulled their families together and declared that we will see them again if we get our lives together.

That leads me to the topic of my blog. {God had given us a new day!}

What will you do with this new opportunity? Will you sit in angry or disbelief of your current situation? Or will you use the resources that God bestows upon is daily to change your destiny. Well, I plan to take advantage of what God has given to me.

For the non-believers ~ "if life gives you lemons...make lemonade." (Just don't forget the sweetner {Jesus ~ the sweet gift that God could have given to us}).

As I flew from Virginia last night I was in awe at the site of His Glory.

Enjoy!

Love it!

Hosted by The St. Regis Atlanta & Tony Conway of Legendary Event.

Today is my 40th birthday and if someone would have told me that I would be having the time of my life I would have argued that point in sheer disbelief. Well...I am loving my life!

I have decided to celebrate my 40th the entire year of 2010. That's right from January 1 to December 31 (my daddy's bday), I'm doing something each month for me.

I have shipped my kids off to loved one for some "me" time. And I have allowed my husband to share my moment. (Thanks babe!!)

In ever woman's life a new age brings a new change. I have changed soooo much this year I needed to be without kids to adjust to the new me!

June is the month that I am developing the new me personally and professionally. I can't wait to share the changes.

Thank you Jesus, you really have a sense of humor! As I write this I am trying to fight the tears...cuz you know that you have done things this year (even 10 minutes ago) that have had me laughing in awe at your GLORY!!

This time last year I had the honor of designing the Nelson's magical day. This wedding redefined me as a planner and person. Mona and Derric taught me and my family that wedding planning is not just a business. But it's a relationship builder.

We shared prayers during her mother's illness, laughed over "hair drama" and remained calm during difficult moments.

The Nelson's will always hold a special place in my heart and home!

Happy Anniversary and I can't wait to plan the twins baby shower!!
