Coincidence? Hmm...

I find it interesting that the day after i investigated my lost packages, which the post office didn't have, FedEx didn't have, and Amazon.com couldn't track, 2 out of 3 of them arrived.  Then, the day i called Amazon for a replacement, they informed me the post office had it and they couldn't refund or replace it.  The next day, the package arrived.  Hmmm....

In 2010... i wept often and laughed much. i prayed both passionately and passively. i found new reasons to be thankful for my friends. i rediscovered the Truth of the Living Word of God, and i spent a lot of time with His Son, Jesus Christ. i felt the love of family, friends, and a Holy God. i renewed my love of motherhood, which had taken a sound thrashing but was struggling to hang on. i rejoiced in new life, remembered those we've lost, and understood the delicate state that is our humanity. i shared my love for Christ and His love for me with as many people as i could pin down. i made both mistakes and enemies, but i repented when necessary, and learned to walk away. (this one's huge for me!) i learned that "peace at any cost" isn't pea
