Andrea and Tracy
This week is all about Andrea and Tracy! I work with Andrea she is a HUGE help to me and I couldn't do my job without her. She was brought into my life by God, of this I'm sure. Tracy, I met through MOPS (when I actually got to go :) ) When I think of you Tracy, I think that you are one strong woman (and beautiful too inside and out).

Amber, you are so sweet! I wish we got to see each other face to face these days, but am loving the blog.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the introduction to week 6 when Kelly said she was “ridiculously happy in Nashville, at least today” after returning from Washington, D.C.
My husband was offered a promotion at his firm, which meant moving to D.C. for two years come this spring, so we took a trip there in December to check things out. I was looking forward to the adventure and possibility of living outside of Georgia for a little while. It seemed exciting. However, once there, the splendor of all the Smithsonians and monuments could not make up for the expense, the cold, and lack of Southern hospitality. We had a terrible time and could not wait to get back home!!! My husband and his firm mutually agreed the job was not right, so here we are. And I have been ridiculously happy here in Oxford, GA ever since!
And I liked how she closed out the intro saying “how deeply He is engaged in my life and how He desires for me to find my life in Him.” That is so profound!
On Day 1, she said we spend too much time ridding ourselves of “the bad” instead of knowing the One True God and I completely related. I know I have tried to “do good” and “be good” more than know God. In a way, my diagnosis last week was a big blessing because I know God is using it to teach me to know Him, to rest in Him. To come to Him, as was emphasized on Day 2. As I answered in the question on Day 3, He wants me to make Who He is my provision. He seemed to re-iterate that to me on Day 4 as she said to focus on God’s greatness and look at what the I AM means. Praying Isaiah 46:4 was such a fitting close to my week and will continue to be my prayer in the coming months: “Lord, you have made me, You will carry me, You will sustain and rescue me.”
