Overcome.......

o*ver*come....verb........1.  to defeat; conquer.  2. to surmount; prevail over 3. to over-power, as with emotion

Sunday Gregg had the opportunity to preach while Pastor Roger was away in NY hunting with his family.  He had been preaching on the subject of "Overcoming" and Gregg picked up right where he had left off.  IN A POWERFUL WAY.....

We have many obsticles in life we have to over come.....some are big, some are tiny, some are life threating, some are not....some are marriage threatening, while others seems trivial and almost laughable....while others are not. 

I have finally overcome this issue of my weight, Gregg acknowledged it in his sermon and made me feel so proud that he's proud and noticed my success....I was happy for the moment, then my heart turned inward and remembered a dear friend of mine who is struggling to overcome marital issues in her life.

I wish I could fix it for them, I wish I could help them overcome this troubling time in their marriage, I'm just a wanna be fixer-upper but I can't.  I can pray for them, it's the best thing I can offer them at this time.  I just hate that my friends are struggling....I pray that they can overcome, that God can guide them and provide an end to this struggling they are enduring....

My happiness and joy at my overcoming has to take a backseat right now while I help my friend get through her situation, I hope that at the end of this path that they are on they can and will feel like an overcomer too.

God is that able, that loving, that merciful to help anyone in any situation overcome....even my friends.  Please keep them in your prayers that they too can feel the victory of overcoming...... to defeat and conquer, to surmount and prevail over, to over-power this time in their life, their marriage is worth it, their family is worth it and I hope they know that there are those of us out here praying for them and who love them dearly.

I can't believe how fast time has flown. 

He's 10, double digits.....he's so handsome, so smart, so funny, such a pain in the butt.....but he's MINE and I love him.

Happy 10th Birthday to my Peyton Gregory....I love you more now than ever, but not nearly as much as tomorrow.....I thank God daily for choosing ME to be your mom, YOU ARE AMAZING!


You're one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me, I love you.

Best night of my life EVER....ok without my family.

So last night turned out to be "Ladies Night Out".......

Patty and I had ben DYING for a good girls night out and well, last night was it.  THANK GOODNESS Marina and Hollie came too, without them the night would have been good and enjoyable but the laughs and fellowship would have suffered just a bit.

So off to dinner we went....Two Urban Licks, if you've never been SHAME ON YOU.  The food and atmosphere are the best in Atlanta, HANDS DOWN!!  The appetizers were amazing and the main course was to die for.  I had jerk chicken that was so much it will feed both Gregg and I for lunch today.  Patty had the Mahi-Mahi and her plate was cleaned (we all helped her on that one) Hollie had the Scallops with Gouda Grits and Marina had the beef rib (it was one HUGE rib) with their famous Mac & Cheese.....we were so not dissapointed.

Then after dinner we went to the Dark Horse Saloon over in Higlands, for a few more snake charmer laughs and cervezas......

After mid-town we decided to head home, but not before a stop on Chesire Bridge Road at the POSTER HUT......okay if you dont know what that place is, I aint telling....but i can tell you this I haven't laughed or heard Patty and Marina laugh so hard or much in YEARS......Hollie and I had our share but the two of them really enjoyed themselves....

Then I wont mention was happened on the way home from there, but I will say it required 4 unsucessful stops and finally an indecent exposure in a gas station parking lot....

then finally back to the southside.....Backwoods....Jaibait capitol of the world, that's all I am going to say about that.

Thank you to my wonderful girlfriends for an INCREDIBLE time, I had the best time ever, I hope we can repeat it again soon!!  Love you all so much.
