PS. Do I get 4 entries? *smile*
11 is my favorite number, 11:11 is my favorite time, 11/11 is one of my favorite days, I was born on the 11th of May, making 11/11 my half birthday, K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. Last year on 11/11 I shared my life story with comgroup 🙂 This year I will share this day at a Regina Spektor concert!
I wish that we (my comgroup, my friends and loved ones) will all experience Christ's freedom from whatever may enslave us.
I wish that I would experience more peace and rest this semester.
I wish that you and I would both be more engaged in the present and open to every moment that God has to us.
I wish that you and Joseph would find exciting, fulfilling jobs in College Station 😛
I wish that you and I will remain lifelong friends!
I wish for the ability to protect those i love from pain and harm.
I wish for the ability to bring healing.
I wish for the ability to live within my life and not outside of it.
Just came here via our Painting Layers group on FB, oh what a lovely inspiring post Tahni…that photo is just stunning, the title of it is so reassuring to me today…
What am I wishing, hoping (praying)for?
* that all turns out well with some health issues I've been dealing with
* for serendipity to find me in Misty's class :>
* that my little family stays strong thru an upcoming job-related (hubby's) time away
