269 Pictures

Well, I discovered many things this weekend. One being that my photo card holds ONLY 269 pictures. I need to purchase one that holds much more. Wonder how much they cost?

I also discovered that a mama can have fun with Prom and all of the drama that accompanies it! I never did cry or lose my temper or have a meltdown! God is good!

I also discovered that a little rain (actually a LOT of rain!) does not have to spoil your parade. You simply move it from one of the most gorgeous yards in town that boasts over 1000 blooming azaleas to your nice, warm, and dry welcome area in your church! Very easy access and no raindrops on the lovely hair-do's! Every bobby pin stayed in place! No silk ties ruined. There were 14 teenagers and a gazillion parents and grandparents not needing umbrellas to "ooh" and "aah" over the kids and take their pictures. Y'all, everybody had fun!

Finally, I was reminded of something that I already knew. God simply revealed to us that His hand was covering the event. No incidents or accidents occured even in the pouring down rain. I think I'll start praying now for next year's Prom!


Are they just not all precious?




Sweet Blessings!

PROM--3 days!

Hello, bloggy friends! I'll tell you what...with the end of the school year fast approaching, end of Bible studies, end of track season, dental appointments, errands, Prom week, and beginning of exam preparations....Runner Mom is a little stretched out! How about you?

On Saturday, Cindy, Phebe, and I ran in the first annual Ratz race 5k in a small little southern town. It was fun! All of the proceeds went to support the youth at a local church raise funds for a trip to the Holy Lands this summer. ( By the way, ratz--with the z--is Hebrew for run or race--I forgot which one!!!) Anyway, the weather was great, and God was good and showed up with many blessings.

I promise that I have been reading your wonderful bloggy posts! I just have not had that much time to comment. Just know that your posts bless and encourage me!

Ok, you moms who have "been there, done that!" Child #1's first Prom (or as we said back in the dark ages, JR-SR.) is this coming Saturday night! He is taking a darling girl--they are just friends! I am seeing lots of that....kids going with their friends and not stressing about a date! I like this! I would love to be enlightened as to my role in this fiasco--oopsie, I mean Prom day! Once they leave, and I've taken 5,324 pictures, all I can do is sit back and pray! I've already started! The praying that is!

So, what is my role on Saturday? Any thoughts or words of wisdom (or grace?????) I look forward to your help! Y'all are precious!

Sweet Blessings!
