You're so fun! I can't believe you're not even 30!!! Not fair-36 is fast approaching(10 days!)
I want you to know that reading this blog is a HUGE encouragement to me-a definate highlight! Even in your "down" moments, you find a way to be positive. That means a lot to me. You keep focused on God's grace gift that each of us have, but sometimes forget because of our "circumstances" And, don't take this wrong, but YOU have "circumstances" that far out-weigh anything I have ever had to experience, and I lose that focus more often than not. Maybe that's part of the reason God entrusted you with Miles-to be an encouragement to me, and others like me(there are some, aren't there?)
Your 100 things list could probably have been longer.....and you are absolutely on MY top 100 list! Thanks for being faithful.
