My prayers and thoughts are with you throughout the day and the next three weeks. If I had read this yesterday when I should have, I would be wearing that pink lipstick right now! I am with all the other ladies committed to supporting this battle with you. I will wear that pink lipstick!<br />I can't believe how much you have inspired me through your writing. I feel as if I have really gotten to know you through this. Thank you for being the person God sent your to be in my life!<br />Prayers Rosey!Symone Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439520584133481008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-40858160352665287342012-07-05T06:12:48.559-05:002012-07-05T06:12:48.559-05:00Up in the wee hours, wishing for a cup of coffee. ...Up in the wee hours, wishing for a cup of coffee. Climbing in bed about 1 am I looked down at my legs and realized to my horror, they needed to be shaved. It will be weeks and weeks before I can do that again. I had to add it to this morning's agenda. But that's okay because I woke up at 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 5:20, then at 5:40 said oh well. I'm getting up to to shower before my husband takes up the hot water. Hollywood indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391196534212697503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-88917233338933065112012-07-05T06:07:32.751-05:002012-07-05T06:07:32.751-05:00Thank you Leah
I started talking to God like that...Thank you Leah<br /><br />I started talking to God like that as a girl but was not encouraged. I was taught that I'm supposed to pray like Jesus is my friend sitting across the table from me. But it turned out they didn't really mean it. I could talk like my friend, if I "churched" it up. But that wasn't me. So despite the disapproval from parents & people who felt I was disrespectful doing so, I continued with the way I pray. But I confess in public I doctored it up, to sanctify it I guess. It wasn't until 6 years ago, when I switched from the denomination I grew up to a nondenominational church. I heard about grace and boy I loved to hear about grace. Not just the grace that saves our sin but every day, grace for a new day in FREEDOM grace. So when asked to lead our women's Bible study in prayer one night, I cut loose praying like I'm talking to Jesus we're having a cold glass of tea. <br /><br />There was some giggling, but that's okay. I prayed and because it was ME who prayed and not the "church lady" I believe he heard and answered. But as for me.....He and I get to laughing sometimes. I really believe the gift of finding joy and laughter is a gift he has given me. <br /><br />As a new Better Writer friend told me, "If we believe we are created in God's image, then we MUST believe HE has a sense of humor as well." Love thatAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391196534212697503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-37506162291733828192012-07-04T19:30:11.930-05:002012-07-04T19:30:11.930-05:00Pink lipstick each day for three weeks... this is ...Pink lipstick each day for three weeks... this is my commitment to you. Lifting you up in prayer each day, several times a day - this is also my commitment to you. I only wish I lived close to you so I could help keep some of the chaos under control at your house. I pray for God to ease your mind and take care of that overwhelmed feeling throughout your recovery. I look forward to hearing about all of the amazing ways God shows His awesomeness in your life over the next few weeks! (Oh, and my conversations with God go something like yours... I figure He knows me and He prefers for me to talk with him in my real "ME" voice, and not in my "holier-than-thou church-prayer" voice.) ~ Hugs, LeahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-37848523340208567482012-07-04T11:39:15.053-05:002012-07-04T11:39:15.053-05:00OH NO!

They have requested before that I put a disclaimer to cover their keyboards if they are drinking anything. :)<br /><br />The thing that shocks me all the time, is that what you read? That really is me. It's not just my voice or some kind of special writing technique. That is me. That is how I taught home school...that's how I teach Bible study classes or Sunday School classes or chat with friends over tea. My Lord knows full well who I am and sometimes, I know I make him bust a gut as well. I think it was Nancy who told me that "we are made in God's image then he must laugh too". I loved that.<br /><br />So I appreciate your prayer. I have peace about the actual surgery. Not so much about the actual house. *trying not to work myself into a frenzy* And so not looking forward to the recovery weeks. Before cancer, I was much more pain tolerant. But having been taken to the brink of where pain can take you - I don't care much for it at all. Just a bit and I'm asking someone to fix it. :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391196534212697503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-90638029636113134382012-07-04T10:22:19.796-05:002012-07-04T10:22:19.796-05:00Oh, Nancy I do not promise to keep the shenanigans...Oh, Nancy I do not promise to keep the shenanigans down...under control is the best I can offer. I love that you have a ICE lipstick. Don't you hate it if you leave it in your purse, and it gets too warm and winds up as a glob on one side? I did not wear lipstick very much before the mastectomy. But the book moved me so much that I started wearing some kind every time I left the house. My favorite is a Mary Kay that my sister gave called MAGENTA. Wow, girl we are cooking with gas. She gave the MK RED for the mastectomy. And it was read....redder than my blood. She sells MK...could you suspect?<br /><br />If it's a lipstick only day...then it's not a wonderful day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391196534212697503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401530095917184413.post-47324285496553366492012-07-04T10:17:58.094-05:002012-07-04T10:17:58.094-05:00Meeshia, I knew as soon as I read the request for ...Meeshia, I knew as soon as I read the request for a disclaimer that it had to be one of my WOW pals.

Girl you walk in there, all they see is a blank canvas. You will not only walk out with a $30 lipstick, you will have on foundation, powder, blush, eye liner, brow pencil, 4 kinds of eye shadow and mascara.<br /><br />That $30 lipstick is anywhere from $3.50 - $8.00 in a good ole blue collar department store. And there won't by anyone trying to tell you "oh dawling, but this $45 lipstick will make your lips look pouty."<br /><br />My father never could abide by a pouty lip. Don't understand women who do it on purpose.<br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement and your pink encouragement.<br /><br />You call Freakin' stars cussing? I am in deep do do then.

I keep a lipstick ICE ( in case of emergency) although I have no clue what other emergency would call for me wearing it. I will be praying for you - and for Debi that she actually makes it out of the make up dept. without a complete makeover into someone else! The Lord says: "I know the plans I have for you" and He does, if I were there I would wash your hair for you! rest well, Tina, all is in His Hands. Even the shoes and the laundry!He has it all covered.
