A nice surprise!

20 12 2009

Once upon a time, I made it a habit to pray a Hail Mary whenever I passed a particular “Gentleman’s Club” billboard on the junction from the 405 to the 105 freeway.  Of course I wanted the place itself to close, but I at least wanted that billboard to be taken down because it was not helping anybody.

Since I moved here to Culver City, I have prayed every day that we’ve driven by it.  I have asked my students to pray also.  Today as we were driving home from the hospital, Gary shares with me that the stripper billboard has been changed to a lupus awareness billboard!

I have lupus.

Obviously God is trying to show me how clearly he heard my prayer because now THIS billboard can help so many people – people like me!  Not only did it make me feel personally connected to the answered prayer, but it also confirmed the importance and effectiveness of praying for purity in all aspects of our society.

What wonderful news!  Praise the Lord!

Worth the Wait

25 08 2009

Rule #1:  “You can’t kiss me until we’re standing together at the altar.”

Result:  I think this song says it all…

“A Moment Like This” (Kelly Clarkson)

What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
It’s almost that feeling that we’ve met before so tell me that you don’t think I’m crazy when I tell your love is here and now.

A moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I can’t believe it’s happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

Everything changes, but beauty remains.
Something so tender I can’t explain.
Well I may be dreaming but til I awake..Can we make the dream last forever?
And I’ll cherish all the love we share for a moment like this.

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I can’t believe it’s happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

The speed of waiting love of all.
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall.
So let me tell you this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this…

Some people search a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I can’t believe it’s happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
