On Saturday, I got to hear Sheila Walsh speak. What an honor. She is such a sweet woman of God with such a tender heart, and I always go away from her conferences feeling so extra-specially loved by God. During this talk, she shared that she has committed Psalm 143:8 to memory, and every morning when she wakes up (before she even gets out of bed) she says this verse back to the Lord. Inspiring, yes?
Speaking of inspiration, I continue to be so inspired by Laura and the SOCKS FOR SANDY campaign that she started. She has collected LOTS of packages to pass along to the victims (check out the photo of her loaded van, below). The shipment that Laura received on Friday filled two giant mail bins!!! Exciting! She's doing a great job of keeping everyone updated too! You can check out The Official Socks for Sandy Facebook page for all of the latest!
The latest news is that hats, gloves, and mittens are no longer a need. Socks ARE still needed, and the latest request is for new packages of underwear. EVERY SIZE is needed!

Today, I am thankful for:
1. people who inspire us to do better
2. those who have served or are currently serving in our military -- and for their selfless sacrifice on my behalf.

I cried because I had no shoes... until I saw a man with no feet. Life is full of blessings. Sometimes we're just blind to see them.

Oh I love Sheila Walsh and would so enjoy attending one of her conferences. That is a marvelous scripture!
