This is Emily (left) and Danielle (right). I've known them since before Danielle was three years old. I can not believe how the time has gone by and they are now teenagers. Danielle turned 18 in August and Emmy is 13. It's amazing to see the work God is doing in their young lives as I watch them mature in age and in Christ. I have prayed for them often over the years and I am seeing the fruit of my prayers! Thank you Lord for hearing the prayers of your children and for moving in the lives of those we intercede for in prayer.

Not So Sweet
Today a huge cookie bouquet was delivered to my office with my name on it! I was stunned and thought for sure it was a mistake. As I read the card I was confused by the message and knew that it could not be for me but it had my full name on it. I could not accept such a sweet gift without knowing who it was from so I started making some calls. After several phone calls I gave up, for the time being.
After what seemed like hours I decided to call the company who made the bouquet thinking that they could give me a name and I was right! It was an exciting moment as the fruit of my investigative efforts came forth. However, it still did not make sense, as to why this person would be sending me a large, colorful, fun cookie bouquet.
I finally gave up and accepted this sweet gift. I carried it into the front office and opened it up. The smell of freshly baked cookies escaped and infiltrated the room. I decided on an orange flower with purple and yellow polka dots. I sat down to visit with some co-workers and enjoy the delectable cookie. After a few bites of what was the best cookie I have ever tasted I saw the delivery receipt on a nearby desk. I picked it up and saw my name on it but with an address other than mine. Suddenly the cookie had lost its sweetness and I felt nauseated.
The Administrative Assistant in the corporate office thought that I was at the location that the cookie bouquet was going and she had the correct address but the wrong Manager. When the delivery arrived at the address the staff at that property saw my name on it and thought it was supposed to go to me and asked them to delivery it to my to my address but it really did not go to me. Go figure.
