Who would have guessed????

After struggling for about 13 years with a daily cough, I finally took a good friend's advice (thanks, hiker-mama) and went to a pulmonary specialist. Turns out, I may have asthma! All these years I've been struggling and I could have been doing something about it! Can you believe it?

I go today to have tests done to see what is bringing on the asthma attacks which I always called "coughing attacks" but I guess it has more to do with the bronchial tubes than the throat itself.

Live and learn.....I always thought this was what I called a "familial" cough because my sister coughs and my mother coughs. Good news - mom and sis - we may have found the culprit. I'll let you know!

I'll be back in a few days to keep you informed....I'm sure everyone is on pins & needles to find out - ha!

It Is Well With My Soul!

If a picture's worth a thousand words, then

I'm Longfellow. I'll spare you the 140 pics

and just post a few. What a great time!

What An Incredible Weekend!

It was amazing...joining thousands of women in worship to our "Lone Star" - JESUS! We learned so much from our Bible study teacher, Beth Moore. She's in the middle with the girl on her lap. I'm two people over to the right (with the pink cowgirl hat). My Siesta Sue is two people over to the left with her matching pink hat! Aren't we just so TEXAN! Anyway, it was an amazing time - as we had a head on collision with worship and Bible study - YEEHAW! We missed all you siestas who weren't able to be with us but we cherish the times when we will all be together again someday. I leave you with a thought that has been going 'round and 'round in my head since Saturday. "You are an heiress to the King of kings! You have a royal and beautiful inheritance. The King's Son is your double-portion and, through Him, you are God's inheritance, as well." If that thought don't light your fire, then ya'lls wood is wet!! ;>)

BMC in SA -Yeehaw!

Try to figure out the following:

I'm in SA with my BFF, HM. We are going to the LPL event to see our BFF, BS teacher, BM. We are missing our other BFF, MW :(

Anyone who can properly discipher the above message is going to get an extra special gift from her BFF's when they get back from SA! And why are we doing this?.......BWC!!

I'M BACK!

Well, the "blogging fast" is over and I learned a few things about myself.

1) Blogging had not quite become an idol to me, but I'm glad I took a break so I could find that out.

2) God is so good. He satisfies my every longing and desire! I don't want anything to come between Him and me.

3) My friends are the best....they are supportive & sweet to me.....of course, I already knew that before!

I'll end this blog with one of my favorite scriptures:
Philippians 3:10:
"That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death."

"Siesta" or should I say "Fast" ?????

I'm taking a little "siesta" (no pun intended) from blogging for a while. Or, maybe I should call it a fast? After doing this study: "No Other Gods" I'm experimenting to make sure blogging hasn't become a "god" to me. I am going to "fast" from blogging for awhile and try to figure out some kind of balance where I'm not thinking about when I can get my next blog fix!!!!!!!

P.S....You may as well not leave any comments on this blog because I won't be checking them for a while. Thanks for understanding!!

Are you Right-Brained or Left-Brained?

I took a test and here are my results, which kind of surprised me because I always thought I was more right-brained than left-brained.

47% Right-brained, 52% Left-Brained, 42% Auditory Learner, 57% Visual Learner

Let me know what you think of the following synopsis of me.

"You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.
Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional."
