A Mazey Day

Today Gary and I went to downtown Portland to get Mazey's mom and dad's wedding certificate from the hall of records. Just a chore, a task, a necessary thing, on the surface. It meant so much more to me than that, that I could be 2,000 something miles away from my much loved daughter, Pam and super great (and much loved) son -in-law, Jeremy who are in the process of adopting a little girl from Colombia. Her name is Mazey, and although none of us have met her yet she too is in her Grampa and Grama's hearts and much loved.

Prayers for someone do that to me.....they get into my heart. I felt so blessed to be able to do something necessary for my Mazey to come to the loving home of her momma and daddy. I can't wait to see you, dear Mazey!

Come to think of it....

New Things are Part of the Fun!

I did it! This is all new to me. I didn't even know or get "blogs" a few days ago. My daughter, Pam, has created a beautiful one. It's been a great way to keep up on the progress of she and her husband, Jeremy's, adoption plans. Yes! A grandaughter from Colombia is coming.

I did the blog and a post and then did it again, new template, and deleted the post. It was scarey and exciting all at the same time to see it when it actually became "published" on the World Wide Web! What fun!

I can see I'm going to have to stay focused cause the ideas are endless. Or is that the point....it's my blog, no rights or wrongs. I can make it my own. One thing I know for sure is this is going to be fun!

One thing I'm not sure of is how people find your blog.
Do you know?
Can you help me?
Any tips?

I think I have to start by emailing people to tell them how they can read it now that I have it set up, right? Well, this will be definitley be an adventure!

Living My Dreams

I'm reading a book called True Faced.

It says,

"God's ultimate goal is to release the mature

into the dreams he designed for us before the world began".

So that's what he's up to!

Here I am 60 years old and I feel like I'm just being released into my dreams.

I guess maturity takes some time.

Well, it has for me anyway.

Have you read True Faced?

Do you feel mature?

Do you feel you have lived any of your dreams?

Love to hear from you.
