R, S, L

good to see you again;)

okay so, along with the rest of you..... I have been busy. I never realized how many clients I had until you all need to come see me at the same time. Wow. You all have been great working with me. It has been great to catch up with you all. I want to say thanks to Ann Grimes for the home-made pimento cheese, oh yeah!!! Hot Heads, Bridget, Nikki, Tiffany, Penny, Jenny, and Maxine.... you guys are awesome! These girls had a money jar set up and blessed us with it last week. Branch Chapel, "Growing in Christ", Sunday school class blessed us with a generous donation! Also, Stephanie Starling took up money at her hair studio. Bethany said something about a poem she had read describing how people in our lives for reasons, seasons, and lifetimes....... you girls have kept in touch, reached out to me when I needed you most and I am so humbled and blessed to have you in my life! Many reasons, seasons, and lifetimes have come my way and you all have proved to be faithful and you are dear to me. Melissa, everyone keeps asking me about you... I think they love you:) The most dear... you are. You are what friendship is all about. You are what Jesus wants us all to be.... a real person, that does real things without thinking of yourself first. You are truly amazing because I know your heart. I know you do for others even when you don't feel your best. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for a Lifetime:)

Muah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*Here's the Poem Bethany spoke of*

Reason, Season, Lifetime............................

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
