Life as you all are aware can swing a right-hook, sometimes we can block it, and sometimes we take the punch. Last week, I took a punch. I am so blessed to have great friends (and many that answer their phones, you know who you are, thanks!) This week has been BETTER and I am a stronger person because I was able to take the punch…enough about that…let’s move on to a heroic husband…
My friend Rainie and I hike twice a week..there are amazing trails in Ogden. Saturday we hiked to a peaceful place where we just enjoyed God’s creation. On our way down we encountered a rattlesnake. Yes, I just said rattlesnake. We had NO idea what to do…and, I was completely unprepared…no cell phone. Rainie had her phone, called her husband and he said try to scare it away…we did and it just made the snake mad. I called CC (we were only about .5 miles from my house) and he hiked up to save the day. The best part…the snake was gone by the time he got there…all the same, I felt safe because my heroic CC was there to protect me.
21-days ago…I planted my garden…here it is today! It looks wonderful! In no time at all we are going to enjoy the ‘fruits of our labor’…pun intended! Haha

A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to attend a women’s conference in Denver. (God is good…and He knows what we need, when we need it….I wonder how I would have handled the right-hook if I hadn’t attended the conference the week before…) One of the speakers spoke about emptying our quiver…are we willing to go ‘all-in’ for God? This metaphor has not left my mind since the conference…so…friends…are we willing to empty our quiver and give it all to God? It is hard…and in the face of trouble…it was the last thing I wanted to do…but I tell you from experience…it SHOULD be the first thing we do…
Loves and Hugs—empty ‘quivers’ are cool!
