Laurie's Journal

 Hey there! My church mentor is going away for the rest of the week, and I'm very sad.  This is going to be a test for me as I live life on my own.  She said I can text her, but it won't be the same. She is like an older sister, who I go to for my Biblical advice and daily living.  My other sister  Sandi is also good to talk to, but she is always on the go as a busy grandma, so I don't like to bother her too much.  Sandi is also my sister in the Lord, and she doesn't at all look like a grandma! I was just reminiscing how we used to make phone calls with using the area code if you lived within that area code.  I still remember my childhood phone number that has since been retired.  God, I feel old. I don't look old, but I feel old. I think I'm going to do some shredding today.  20 years worth of paperwork that don't matter anymore has to go.  Pretty soon we will be moving into our forever home, and I don't want to bring the past with me.

 Hey there! I worked tonight, and I'm exhausted!  I don't have to work tomorrow, but I need to walk down to Target with John. Nothing much else going on except me praying three times per day for God's will for our lives.  My church mentor said God already knows my needs and desires, so I only need to pray for God's will. I've been writing in my journal and reading my Bible everyday.   Well, goodnight for now. I love you. ;)

 Hey there! Happy May Day! The sun is out and it finally stopped raining.  I cannot wait for John and I to spend some much deserved time down the shore (Seaside Heights, NJ).  I love the smell of the ocean and the balmy weather. Last year, we flew out to Washington state to visit my cousins.  This year I think we we will stay on the east coast.  Also, I would like us to visit my half-brother Eric and family, who live in upstate New York. I love the Spring, Summer and Fall. I hate the winter.  I'm thinking of asking my husband if he would want to retire to Florida in our golden years.  I've had enough of New Jersey winters. Well, I got called in early to work. I love you guys.
