I feel overwhelmingly thankful, grateful and blessed by all I have on a pretty regular basis… but Thanksgiving is a great time to take the opportunity to verbalize it.
So… THANK YOU!
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for the community you’ve invested in here.
Thank you for all the prayers you’ve said for our family.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for being my extended family.
If someone told me that I would have found some of my closest and most trusted friends via social media 5 years ago… I would have laughed in their faces.
I’ve always had friends. It’s always been important to me to be surrounded by people. But no matter how surrounded I was, I usually felt pretty alone. However, I believed as long as I was surrounded, then at LEAST I would look normal… whatever that means.
Besides about 5 friends, the friends I had, or use to have, around me no longer seemed interested in being around me. I’m not sure if it was because they were hurt by my decisions, didn’t want to be associated with such a public sinner or if it was because they just didn’t know what to say. Whichever way, I totally understood and counted it as a consequence to my poor choices.
Congrats on your new book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I’ll email you to get your address so we can get that out to you soon.
For the rest of you… please help support Serena by buying her book.
Thank you for reading Affair Week.
Thank you for contributing your comments.
Thank you for not judging.
Thank you for praying.
Thank you for choosing to see other sides.
Thank you for helping bring this to light.
I interrupt Affair Week for an important announcement.
This one is for the LADIES!!!
Starting on Tuesday, September 7, JUST ONE (an online conference geared towards women in ministry and pastor’s wives) will run for six consecutive weeks. My friend, Lori Wilhite, is doing it through her blog Leading and Loving It.
If you’re not female, a woman in ministry OR a pastor’s wife, you may still enjoy this conference. There is a pretty great line-up of speakers. Another plus? This conference is free.
FREE.
Great information and resources for FREE!!!
You need another reason? Each speaker is presenting within 8-10 minutes. You can’t say you don’t have time for it
I have the amazing privilege of sharing on marriage among many other amazing women. For the speaker line up and more information, click here.
Last night, the theme I WAS using went a little nuts. I was thinking it was time to change the look of my blog anyway… so I just did.
There’s a lot of things I still need to personalize and fix up… but before I do, just wanted to get YOUR thoughts. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Is your opinion somewhere in between?
August 26th in Seattle, Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel will be sharing practical leadership strategy for creating and sustaining momentum.
Also, there will be a few Q&A sessions with Andy & Craig and a candid conversation between them about their different leadership styles and common lessons they’ve learned.
I don’t usually give stuff away here on my website… so this is a rare treat. I think this definitely a valuable win. PLUS, I’ll be there… so you’ll get to spend some time with a pretty cool Asian chick!
