Team Tiara

Today is one of ‘Those” days.

Not the kind where you’re stressed and running crazy — the kind people often complain about at Christmas time.

No… Today is the other kind of day. The kind where you are constantly bombarded with proof, real proof, that God is with you.

Today my friend Ruthie is fighting for her life in Sonora. Her daughter Kelly is one of my dearest friends, and I’d give anything to be by her side as she holds her Momma’s hand.

But I can’t be there. I can call her and text her and send love from afar — but today I can’t physically be there.

Instead, I’m at home in my kitchen, baking. Missing my Mom. A Lot. Listening to KSBJ and being constantly reminded that God IS with US. ALL of us. Constantly. Immanuel. HE is with us. He’s with Ruthie and Kelly and their entire family. And He always will be.

So in the midst of this day that’s been an off-and-on of tears and memories, I came in here to my computer for a second. I have my Momma’s Fresh Apple Cake in the oven. (With one exception — I use Buttah, not Crisco..) And I have a few minutes before that cake is done.

And I breezed by our TEAM site just to see if anyone’s earned that $500 end-of-year treat. AND I was ONCE AGAIN reminded that GOD is with us. Because Cinda Brown, Suzi Bruin, Aynne Daugherty, Becky Davis, Kori McEwen, Denise Meek and Michelle Olson just reached that mark — in a very big way — a way that can’t be interpreted as anything BUT GOD — yes, GOD — is with us.

So while a bunch of barnyard animals quack, baaa, and cluck their way through a Christmas carol on KSBJ, I want to take a moment to congratulate these chicks on reaching that $500 mark. AND to give them Whoo-Hoos!

Immanuel.. God is with us.

Big Hugs,
