Quick Hi :)

Hey girlies!!! I don't have much time because I'm running out the door, but I wanted to just stop in and tell you all how much I appreciate you and your blog friendship!! I think it was thinking about the Siestaville Blog-a-versary that got me in this grateful mood!! Knowing that 98% of us have never met and you still continue to lavish your love, support, and Jesus-wisdom on me for the decisions, successes and struggles in my life means more than you could ever know! The Lord has definitely used your prayers and words of encouragement more than a time or two this fall to carry me through a trial or two..(or 10) So I just wanted to say THANK YOU, and for your bloggity-randomness enjoyment...a top 10 list with absolutely no point :)

#10. I have only bought 1/2 of my Christmas presents.. (the men in my family stump me every year!)
#9. We have a silver tensile (sp?) Christmas tree (picture to come later) because we are poor 20-somethings...but it has brought us much joy :D
#8. I found these GREAT candles at Pier 1 today for like 2 bucks..want He more praise?!?!
#7. Tonight is the last Kairos service...I'm ready to get my praise on!!!
#6. We have substitute mistletoe in our living room=HOT PINK JINGLE BELLS :D :D
#5. I have a secret obsession with dragonflies :)
#4. I bought myself a present for Christmas...a sparkly ornament :D
#3. The peanut butter balls are almost gone...'Abby's pants, we have a problem'
#2. My roommate brought me a Cinnamon Toast Crunch bagel from Panera tonight...GLORY
#1.(and definitely most important) My Best Friend just got engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!! (she will kill me when she sees this...so it's been great knowin' ya'll..)

Yup, I've had the same reaction to the blog-a-versary. In fact when I was typing my comment on the LPM blog I actually started crying--feeling the connection with all my cyber Siestas!!

Congrats to your friend. Loved your randomness!

Renee said...

This was fun!!

This bloggy world IS pretty crazy, isn't it? It has been an incredible blessing to me as well. But it's kind of strange, if you think about it. I guess what others use for bad...God uses for His good!! It's awesome to see how many of us Christian ladies He's brought together through our blogs.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch bagel?? That just sounds TOO good!!

Congratulations to your best friend!! Woo-hoo!!

I was strolling along on BooMama's Christmas tour and clicked on #14 and you popped up and I thought to myself...self, this looks like Abby but that's not her header and ... LOL ... how did I get to your blog??? I'll take it as a sign that I am supposed to post something on this twenty-something-year-old's blog so here goes. What I want to say to you, sweet girl, is I Samuel 16:7 "Man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart." And He sees a beautiful one! Your beauty is unfading and evident. Soooo, do 16:11 keep on tending to what He has given you to do and 16:13 may the Spirit of your beautiful LORD be on you tonight in POWER...I just love your life, your heart, your passion. Privilege to know you Abby! Gotta go back and find the real #14...Bev

Abby- I am a seasonal lurker. I check in now and again to see what you're up to.

Have to tell you that I chuckled when you wrote, "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bagel"... when technically it's a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.

BUT... Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my kids favorite cereal- so combining that with a sugar bagel... UUmmmm. Ummmm. GOOOOOOOOD!!

hahaha thanks for catching that bagel issue!!! i figured out i was scarfing down some cereal when i wrote that (as i headed out the door to kairos) and must have been thinking about the cereal brand while looking at the bagel bag.

but yes, either way i agree...both great!! :)
