About a year and a half ago, I met Pam in our neighborhood Bible Study.

I was leading a small group and she was one of the ladies in my group.

Her name had come up countless times in conversation with others, so I kind of “knew” about her.

Everyone had spoken so highly of her faith and her wisdom and her “God stories.”

Thrilled to say the least that I finally got to meet her face to face in our Bible Study.

Our baby girl, Presley Jane, turned 21 years old yesterday. I honestly cannot believe how time really does seem to go by too quickly.

It seems like yesterday I was in a hospital room snuggled up with her little angelic face and thanking God over and over for this angel baby.

As I was looking through old pictures of her, tears welled up in my eyes and big lump in throat…

I realized something.

Seasons change.

Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!

Can you even believe it is almost Thanksgiving?

It seems like we were just ringing in the New Year, doesn’t it?!

My Mom and Dad always used to say how fast time goes…I am thinking they were right!

As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, I want us to do something different this year.

This idea came to me as I was in HomeGoods yesterday. I had a short list of the “things” I “needed”.

However, when I walked through the door, I felt a rush, a huge rush of OVERWHELM.
