We were able to attend the
Blessing of Friendship-Spring Luncheon 2009
Featuring Guest Speaker and Performer
I love this photo.
As you can see, there's a light above my friend Deedra's head.
That isn't an accident!
If you're ever lucky enough to meet Deedra, you've met a friend for life. She is the sweetest and most caring woman ever. I remember the first day I met her, I just sat back and admired her from a distance.
She was funny, energetic, on fire for the Lord, and through all that she's been through, she always, always finds a way to give God all the glory. She's such an inspiration to everyone around her. The way she loves her sons, her husband, her family and her friends, shows throughout everything she does.
She's an author and writes children's christian books, She's a friend that always lends an ear to listen and will ALWAYS have a scripture to provide that extra added encouragement.
She and her family are expecting a baby in August 2009. Their birth mom has chosen their family and I have to say, she made the 10000% correct decision and couldn't have chosen a better family to nourish and love their baby.
Deedra beams with excitement and joy when she speaks of her adoption journey along with other life hurdles, she always has a positive word to round off the most trying of situations a person can go through.
You'll notice there's ANOTHER light right above her head. I'm telling you, this is NOT BY ACCIDENT! The signs are there! She is a beam of light where ever she goes~

Now, what kind of event would this be without
The FOOD!
YUM!

Wedge of Winchester Farms Gouda Cheese
Vegetable Relish

I would have preferred my chicken salad without the celery and onions but, overall, I really enjoyed all of it and was tempted to accept seconds when the time arrived but, I decided against it. You know, didn't want to come off as the hungry pregnant woman at the table that had extra helpings ya know!
Special thanks to my friend Tammy for the tickets to the event.
Please keep her family in your prayers. Her husband is on a deployment to Afghanistan until August. She's in good hands.
Our group of friends are there to support her.
She wasn't able to attend and had two extra tickets which meant my friend Deedra and I were able to attend! How sweet is that!

Tanyetta, I couldn't agree with you more about Deedra...she is one AMAZING woman. When I grow up I want to be just like her! I am so lucky to know her and call her friend. :)
