GRAPEFRUIT JUICYFRUIT.

What a fantastic weekend this has been. My sweet Gabriel tied the knot this weekend. We had SO MUCH FUN!! I have to tell you, its so nice to be with someone that you are proud to be with. Someone that provides everything you could ever need in your life. Someone that makes life, worth living.

About a month ago, some friends and I went to dinner and met up with my cousin Tank and his best friend Wally. We had some great laughs and such a good time. I cannot tell you how we laughed and talked about Wally for weeks. I had no idea who Wally was, just a friend of Tanks that by the passing of the first half an hour, we thought we all grew up together. 3 weeks later, Wally Bell, passed away. We only spent a brief moment with him, none of us knew even who Wally Bell was, and I look back, and think he enjoyed THAT! He wasn't a celeb, we didn't need pictures or autographs, he was Tanks friend. That's all. At the entrance to the floor where the wedding and reception was held, http://www.bryndu.com/ , there was a tribute to Wally Bell. Him and Tank have been best friends since they were little, neighbors on the west side. The kids called him Uncle Wally. The Maine's were devastated. He was 48.

I can't remember when I danced so much as I danced last night. the music was so loud, and fun! I danced with my brother in law! Imagine that! I danced the night away. Then we all came back to the hotel, http://www.cherryvalleylodge.com/  and gathered in the bar and had the most awesome family time.

God has blessed me with such an outstanding life. And really, that valley I lived in for a spell, was just a small path on the road to His plan for my life. I never have to live a life of 'wondering' and I never have to second guess people. I know that God has greater plans for me, and simply trusting in Him, is all it takes. I have this Book of Blessings on my Kindle and I read it each night before I go to bed. Last night it was about Gods love for His Children. I thank Him daily for everything and everyone in my life. See, sometimes I get dragged down by people, and I have that 'sin' that I have to Give to Him every morning, and I have struggles with school at times, but never never EVER, do I not feel His presence. As I look back at that 'valley', and I look at that 'sin', I realize that God placed/places those things in my life so as to never lose focus on Him again. And for that Lord, I thank you.
