I'm alive!
Man, I had no idea when I blogged last that it would be almost a month before I got back to it!
This month has been cra-a-a-azy. First I had to finish up a manuscript (what's new, right?), then immediately began preparing for a face-to-face meeting with a couple of my ACFW board members to iron out some details that were LONG overdue. Then school preparation began. Shopping for clothes, shoes and supplies for 4 kids. OY now I get why old mother Hubbard just got fed up and whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. Where are the days when my kids loved every outfit I picked out for them? What do teens know about what looks good anyway? And why do I sound so old? I'm cool right? Oh, brother.
OH and I NEVER thought I'd buy jeans brand new that are bleach stained. No kidding. It looks like drip drops of bleach fell on them in the wash. And ripped jeans. Good grief. But heaven forbid the kids should walk into school with jeans that have no holes or bleach spots. They might be banned socially. Then I'd have to spring for therapy. At least we hit some awesome sales.
Gearing up for ACFW conference. YIPPEE!! And Oh-me. :) Lots to do still and could use prayer for guidance wisdom, and energy. This is my first year as president. And I have duties I've never had to deal with before. My very wise Publicity Officer, Mary Griffith said of our organization that God has placed everything we need right in our hands. I believe that on a personal level also. Everything I need to accomplish my duties as president and worship leader are already in my hand. :) I just talked myself into peace. Thanks God.
Well, tonight is open house and I'm still in PJs because I woke up this morning and went right to work on ACFW business. Praise God for this opportunity to serve Him and ACFW. I will always cherish this time.
Shower's calling!

OH, Tracey, I know what you mean. I wanted to throttle my 13yo know-it-all in Ross. I keep thinking, wait'll she has kids of her own. :)
LOL! IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!!! I was afraid you'd forgotten how to blog. :) Praying for you as you lead ACFW! She's blessed to have you at the helm.
Welcome back Tracey! Praying for guidance, wisdom, and energy for you. You're doing a great job!
