This morning this verse keeps playing in my head and I find myself humming the song to it. It is my prayer for Bob...
"The steadfast love of of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ' The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I will hope I him.' The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the Lord." Lamentations 3:22-26

Question #15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
A cat. Quiet but "thinking" all the time. I sure love the way they can truly R-E-L-A-X. I envy that. They seem smart and intellectual. They saunter and have "attitude". They purr when they are happy and content. Pet magazines say it's their way of saying, "I love you and you belong to me".

Question #18.... What is the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?
I really forgive easily but the breaking of marital vows and promises truly was a hard thing to get past. When my ex said he was remarrying and moving on...BOY was that hard to forgive. Thank God that I did the "Experiencing God" study at that time because it helped me to heal and forgive.
Question #19....If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
I have been very fortunate to live in many, many places and I have realized that it is the people you surround yourself with and the friendships and relationships that make places wonderful.

I love Borger, Texas and it is because of my family (immediate and blended), grandkids, etc.

a. Playing Barbies with my sisters in the creek that flowed in the back of our little shack where we lived when we were migrant farmworkers

c. Riding in the camper of our truck with my 4 sisters during our 3-5 day trek to Wyoming when we were migrant farmworkers.
d. Attending a 3 room schoolhouse in Washington state when we were migrant farmworkers.
e. Feeling rich when every 4th of July my parents would give us $100 after getting paid from working in the fields for the first part of the season.
f. Seeing my dad get saved and drastically changing his and our lives.
Question #21.....If you could have one superpower what would it beans what would you do with it first?
a. My superpower would be healing.
b. I would heal my dad of his ailments which were brought about due to his alcoholism and his working all of his life in the fields.
Question #22...Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?
a. The same as now. Working and living with Bobby in Borger.

c. Taking care of Bobby in his ailing health and possibly my own ailing health. Sad but true.
Question #23....List your 5 favorite hobbies and why you enjoy them.
a. Running....because it de-stresses me and I love the early morning before the whole world awakens.
b. Cooking....I love trying new and different recipes as well as loving to see how food and a home cooked meal brings people together.

Question #24 What is your love language?
Words of affirmation (both written and verbal)
Question #25 What is the most misunderstood thing about you?
Most people think I am a social person. I, in truth, am not. I am quiet and an introvert by nature. I have to work really hard to be "social" and "bubbly". This surprises a lot of people especially my husband.

Pioneer woman website
I am an avid follower of Pioneer Woman. Today her blog was titled Non- Sequitur....
Here is mine....
Non-Sequitur:
My father in law is in the hospital. I need to buy Sharpies for my Spanish II classes project and I need to text my little sister about letting her borrow 2 dvd movies that are excellent (Spellbound and A Better Life). Anna’s graduation invitations are ready to be mailed out and I need to buy a new Iphone car charger (one that doesn’t keep not working after it’s 2nd charge). Ben, my son, is loving his job in Portland and I have to make sure all of my grades are current in my gradebook (it’s the end of the 6 weeks). My husband cried today (thinking about his dad’s being in the hospital and I am sad that parents get old. I don’t have any students in ISS or Homebound (first time all year long) and my good friend, Mary Tristan lost her dad yesterday. I need to study to teach the college Sunday School class this Sunday and I need to pick up my Avon watch from Mrs. Walker. Did I remember to bring more magazines to my classroom for art project days and I really feel like a frito pie for lunch today. My grandson has a baseball game this Saturday and I want to plant some basil in a pretty pot. I made up bellringer papers for my classes for the next 3 weeks and I can’t forget to pick up Jordon before I leave for the hospital. I need to get my dvd player back from Mrs. Reyes and did I order one or two dozen cupcake liners for my daughters college graduation cupcakes. Is STAAR/TAKS testing 2 weeks away or 3 and should I order flowers for my father in law’s upcoming heart surgery. I am glad I made up 130 student bathroom passes for the new 6 weeks that begins on Monday and where is my Starbucks coffee mug? I am glad that Mr. Duncan is watching my afternoon classes (while I go to the hospital) and I want another Starbucks Iced Caramel Macchiato even though I had one yesterday. I love my husband and his family and I need to take some Tylenol with me today for the hospital.
