Goodmorning sweet women of Cawfee Talk! I hope this post finds you all having a good week! I apologize that I am only just now posting as I, have not had the best week. I've wanted to post for lesson 6, have re-read through it, have tried to wrap my mind around what I find important in a point to post for ya.. but, alas have come up empty handed. Not due to the study but my mind-set. This yuck I feel is fleeting, just as a state of joy/happiness is.. so, I have been waiting to "get right" if ya know what I mean b/f I write. I'm getting closer and hey, may even have something in this day!! So can any of you's start this.. anybody... anybody?!?! We ought to be on 7 this week but I have a feeling that most of us are a bit behind and may not have 6 done yet. Please share where you are at and let's all offer a lil' patience with one another. A fair warning tho.. when I get my ju-ju back.. the whip is going to CRACK (on me, too!)!!!!!

... me!

Hey gals!
I just wanted to ask for you all to say a prayer for my sweet Grandma Ruth. She had a massive stroke last week and things are not looking good. She is 91 and has always been spunky until now so it is hard for me to believe she isn't going to snap out of it, but she isn't. Love you all! I am on the day of this chapter and will get back to you all soon! Miss you all too! Doreen

I just got your note Doe.... I am sooooo very sorry for your loss
For those of you that dont know, my Grandma passed away one week ago today.
With my pain being so fresh, I really do feel for you sweet friend. There is nothing like a grandmothers love The unique thing about it is that it seems to be like a song.... if I close my eyes and meditate on her, I can sense and feel everything about her. Her kisses, her hugs, the smell of her perfume, her soft beautiful skin, her warmth and unbelievable ability to only ever see me as this perfect gift from God, given only to her :) I was the only girl and first grandchild, so you can imagine! lol

I will stop rambling...... just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you non-stop! And praying that the Lord will heal your heart. Do not hesitate to call or write, anytime! You hear me?!? Love you, sweet friend

My sweet friends...I'm so sorry to hear of both of you losing someone so special in your lives.
I'm not good when it comes to words regarding this, but know you're both in my prayers...
xoxo

I just cannot believe this.. I have been on here for a long time writing and with Vic as my witness, just lost the entire post. I have no words. I'm upset now! I feel like such a dummy, I can't find how to find it either. That took alot out of me to write and not to have it post..

ugh! I hate it when that happens Court! One thing that I try to do is periodically save what I write. Not sure if you can save a draft on here..... but if not, I just copy and paste what I have written into a notepad document. I just leave it open until I am done, then when all is well an posted, erase it
So sorry, and I know it is such a drain to think of doing it all over again!

Okay, so I finally finished lesson 6 like a minute ago. I have to be honest here with you girls. This week has been hard for me. There's been a battle going on inside me, and my heart isn't as soft right now. SO..I honestly find it hard to post on this week. Long story short..God has been showing me the real truth of my heart. This week I have taken a BIG step back to look at myself from outside of the box. Not very pretty. I've got some anger/bitterness/bad habits that have to go. This is mainly true of me, when I'm home. And of course, it's my family that suffers from it. I have to learn to be different, and stop be cranky at my husband. Too often I blame others (mainly Paul) for my hurts...but it's really me to blame. It's so easy to take your frustrations out on those you love. I hate that!! Any how..I said long story short, so I'll stop there. I'm praying over this morning, noon, and night. There's hope!

Dor and Chris...you're both in my prayers, so sorry for your loss. I love you both.

Awww Kimmy, so sorry that your having such a hard time I think self relection and prayer are sooo important! Even though I look back and miss the stage of life you are in, I also wonder how I made it through!

Take heart in knowing that those were some of my biggest growth years! You are an amazing woman Kimmy! Calgon! Take Kimmy away.......... (sorry, I couldnt resist! lol)

Thanks also for your sweet words, they mean so much to me

Am I the only one who hasn't done 6??
Chris, this updated site is so cute! Perfect timing, too, with us getting back into the study. A fresh look for a fresh start!
I lost my Gramma just about a month ago, so I know what you girls are going through. I'm so sorry. It just sucks. There's no other way to say it. It's really made me think about my life, too. What have I done with it - what do I want to do with it.
With my Gramma's passing and the ugliness of my uncle along with it, plus other family struggles right now, I'm really trying to hold tight to my faith.
My mom sent me a daily devotional she got via an e-mail newsletter. Its basic message was Pslams 46:6: Be silent and know that I am God!...
There's more to the verse, but that's been a good message for me personally when I get so caught up in the stress of life right now -- to remember that God is here. He's got me in His hands. I take a deep breath and TRY to let it all go and remember to be silent and know that HE is God. He knows what He's doing -- whether I know what He's doing or not. He's in control. Period!

Good God in heaven... you will NOT believe this. I am having a communication crisis of sorts. First of all, yesterday.. a long post.. heartfelt and through I must say.. to be LOST on here! I went to add my group hug at the top of the post page right, it took too long to load which has never happened, I got irritated, hit the back error and lost my entire post, K? Then last night, I log on to find my email acct deactivated.. so on the phone dis morning w/Bright House Networks.. got it fixed. So, I mosey on here feeling like, I can do it.. I can re-post.. I'm a happy camper, et... I come on chit-chat and catch all the new posts, write out mine, go to post... "you must have a user name" O.K.. type that in.. hit send.. oh.. right, I didn't log in! .. go to home log in and then do ya think I got to come back to my post and post it?! Now, do ya? NOPE!! What the... Here's another senerio.. I phone Dor earlier and leave a voicemail.. at the end the voice recording comes on and says that my messae has not been sent for some dumb reason or another! Please tell me.. am I to be alone right now, never to communicate with another soul?! I almost think this, too will not make your eyes to be read! Can I cuss on here? Would that be inappropriate?! LOL!

So so true Moni! I know for me, if I could master that, I would have alot more peace!
Only He knows the rest of the pages in our book of life, indeed!
Sorry about your Grammy Moni. Three of us around the same time, that is unreal isnt it?!? To me, just another clear message that the Lord wants us all here, to help eachother through these times.... like only a sister in Christ can do


BTW... thanks for the compliments on the re-decorating Everything I used is from my "debut" designing kit! It was so cool to use something I made

Moni.. C-word...
I see you two ho's are on here and guess what's playing on the radio... "back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now.. yea.. however do you want me, however do ya need me?!" Dat's right baby!

Poor Corky
OK, so next time..... make sure you sign in right away! I have been on here in the past few days and you havent been signed in..... just lurking I can see you though, well your IP address. Dont ever backspace on an email. Copy and paste if you have to backspace....... you dont even have to paste it, just copy it. Then if it disappears, you can just paste it right back in

Maybe you need one of these before you get the boys

Love you sweets
