It's been 3 days at my new job, and I'm missing my Manda terribly!! I miss her bubbly "Good Morning!" I miss her popping into my office just to say "Hi" or give me checks to process.. I miss all my CCC friends, of course, but my Manda.. she was special! We've talked everyday, but it's just not the same. I haven't laughed much the past few days, and for those that know me, that's unheard of!! I'm praying God will send me a friend here that can make me laugh, it'll never be like my Manda and I together, but it'd be nice to have someone to laugh with at work.
I wrote a little poem today entitled:
"My Manda"
She's IMPOSSIBLE to replace
I miss her beautiful, smiling face
She could always make me laugh
Always keeping me on the right path
She'll always be in my heart
She's been there right from the start
She may never know her impact
I'm missing her, that's a harsh fact
Neither of us thought we'd be this blue
I guess we didn't really have a clue
Our heart strings are forever entwined
God knew what he was doing, made us 2 of a kind
I thank God daily for my BEST FRIEND
I pray our love as friends will never end
Okay, corny maybe, but it's all true!! LOVE YOU MY MANDA!! Can't wait to see you again!!

Answered Prayer
God is so good! I wanted to share some recent miracles where God just really answered my prayers and has done a real work in me.
A few weeks ago my right knee began to really bother me, it felt swollen and stiff, but didn't look swollen. It was almost as if it felt like it was full of fluid and very uncomfortable.. not overly painful, but well, you get the picture. I was thinking it might be arthritis. I had some people pray with me at my church and I kept praying and hoping that I'd wake up the next day and it would be back to normal. A few days later, while still dealing with this problem, we had an All-Staff meeting at work and my Manda prayed for me for my knee as well as other stuff, of course, and after that it felt better, and every day after that it felt better and better till it was back to normal! Praise God!!
Writing about that miracle, reminded me of an even bigger miracle that I just have to share. So, here it is.. Big guy and I were married for several years and I had been in school a lot of that time.. I was getting close to finishing school, so we decided to start trying for a baby. We prayed it would be God's timing, but also I was getting close to 29 and knew I really wanted to have our first child before I was 30! I know... drama.. ugh.. 30!! Anyway, I kept praying and month after month, nothing happened. At times it was stressful, I took way too many pregnancy tests and had, in my mind, all but given up. I was approaching my 30th birthday and I started praying, OK God, I know I can't have my baby by my 30th birthday, but couldn't I ATLEAST be pregnant for my 30th birthday!! I guess I didn't think it was too much to ask.. So my 30th birthday came and that night we were at dinner and I said to Big guy, I guess it didn't come true.. I was sad.. but Big guy reassured me and comforted me. Less than one month after my birthday I took a test after being "late" for a week, and found out we were expecting!! I cried and said "Praise you Lord!" I was so overwhelmed! Big guy was overwhelmed with excitement! We went to the doctor and he said that my date of conception was 3 days prior to my 30th birthday! Yeah God!! I was so amazed that he cared so much about me, and about my, seemingly insignificant, wishes because I was paranoid about becoming 30!
Okay, one more quick story. After having lil guy, I started praying that God would open a door for me to find a job closer to home. To the dismay of my CCC coworkers, he answered that prayer and I start my new job August 6th. Please pray for me as I transition. Although I am excited about spending more time with my family, I know I will miss my CCC friends terribly!
Praise God for answered prayer! Amen!
