You'll have to excuse me this week...my heart is heavy with the loss of a dear lady in our church who passed away quite suddenly this last week. She had been a great spiritual influence in my life during my teenage years. She was my best friend's mom, my volleyball coach, a soulwinner, and a servant of the Lord...and it seems like I knew her forever.
I've spent the last few days crying at random times (once while at the auto store having a tire repaired on my van....only slightly embarrassing) and sharing wonderful memories with my husband about playing under Coach J.
Wow! That was a long time ago! Can you find me?
I'm still trying to figure out why my shoes were so dirty compared to everyone's nice white tennis shoes! I was also in the 9th grade....and such a dork.
My friend was traveling back from the mission field when her mom went on to heaven. We've spent a few minutes here and there just laughing and crying over some wonderful, beautiful memories. And there are many!
My oldest was just two weeks old when I drove back for my friend's wedding many years ago...
I wish my children could have known her more...how blessed we were for the time we had. She will be greatly missed.
