I just wanted to share a story with you today...
I was having an off day. We went to church and then headed out to Lowes to run some errands (get a grill cover before it snows). I was feeling kind of blah and decided i didnt want to deal with lowes and the boys and all of that so I went to turn around and go home. I ALWAYS stop at starbucks. I actually think my car automatically goes there if I am out in that direction. Today I was having an internal battle about going. I didnt really NEED it and we are trying to save money. God told me to bless someone with it. I have done this before usually on Fridays which was started in Georgia by some radio station. So off I went to the starbucks drive thru and paid for the girl behind me. I didnt stick around I drove off after paying. When I got home I had an email in my inbox from a girl who saw my Thirty-One sticker on the back of the van (which sometimes I forget is even there) and looked up my information. Her dad died of cancer a year ago today. She was having an awful day and her heart was hurting. She thanked me for the small amount of Joy she had in the day.
So maybe next time you are sitting in the starbucks (insert random drive thru place here) and you have the means to do so bless the person behind you. Maybe make Fridays drive thru Blessing Fridays for you and your family. You never know what that person behind you is going through or what kind of day they are having.

7 on the 7th
This month's 7 on the 7th is your top 7 websites you visit. I have been a little off the last couple months so I'm trying to get back into the blog world. So here goes...
1. Facebook: I used to be anti facebook. I didnt like it because I just felt like there was so much drama and people unloading their business on it. HOWEVER I have come to love it. It is by far the best way for me to keep in touch with family and friends from all over. It is a huge blessing and if it wasnt for facebook I am not sure I would be in contact with half the people I am. Its a fast way for me to pray for people that need praying, encourage people that need encouraging, cry with people, etc. I really think its wonderful.
2. Gmail: I use email for everything. It's my number 1 way of communication with Widmar. I'm so grateful that technology has come as far as it has. I'm not sure what the wives did back in the day when they would not hear from their husbands for 1-3 years except through an occasional hand written letter (if that).
3. Pinterest: I LOVE this site. I have gotten so many wonderful ideas and recipes from this site. What a great way to organize all of your ideas. It's fun to look at everyones style too
4. Blogger: I love reading everyone's blogs its a great way to catch up on families and I just love reading what everyone writes especially friends from all over.
5. Thirty-One: I am ALWAYS on the Thirty-One consultant page with new trainings announcements, etc. I have been really working on trying to "boost my business" So I spend a lot of time on this site.
6. USAA: our bank accounts, insurance, etc are with them so i'm always checking to make sure things are well in our financial world. :)
7. Google: :) I google everything from recipes to answers to crazy medical questions where i learn i might lose my whole leg for a small rash I have. :) It's sort of funny what you can learn when you google things. It's not always great and can send me into panic mode. I have to step back and not research medical questions for that reason, but it is great to use for searching for recipes etc. :)
