It's been a good day.

Around 11:00 I got a jabber (our "instant message" system here at the office) from my good friend Kara, asking if I could meet her in our Believers Cafe downstairs for a few minutes. Of course I did, and we had a great chat, encouraging one another and rejoicing over awesome answers to prayer in her family's lives. Then we went out with a few others to the Italian Villa for a spontaneous farewell lunch.

Tomorrow is Kara's last official day here at the office, as she and her husband have sensed God's leading for a special ministry in their home. When I arrived here on staff almost four years ago, she was the first person I met on the day I drove in. I will always remember that. We really connected. And she loves the people here and definitely plans to stay in touch with us!

You are loved, Kara. :-)

Okay, I should get going because tonight I'm attending a bridal shower in Flower Mound for a good friend. Saturday is her wedding in Fort Worth. I have never driven out there, so I think it could be a fun little adventure for me! I have already printed out directions and plan to study them fastidiously, as I have proven my capability to get lost just about anywhere. :-)

Life is good.
