My heart is just bursting with joy this morning. Yesterday Mike received permission to go on the Stampin' Up Fiji incentive trip I earned last year. I honestly did not dare to hope all these last months--could not even bring myself to pray about it--and God made it happen. WE worked so hard for this, I just could not bear to be disappointed again. But God hears the prayers we don't have the hope to voice, even the ones we can't even speak in our souls...
I'm so thankful I will have this priceless opportunity to thank my husband for all his support and encouragement over the past seven years! He has never once held me back or made me feel like I might be over-shooting for the stars. How do you properly thank someone for that? I think an all-expenses paid trip and airfare for two to Fiji ought to do the trick quite nicely!!
Aand how do I thank YOU, my darling customer friends, for YOUR part in all this??? With BLOG CANDY, of course!! WHOO HOO!!! Leave a comment below by October 31st to enter to win THIS PROJECT free!!!
That's such fantastic news Lyssa, so pleased for you both.
