Happy Birthday Dianne!

Okay so Saturday was my co-worker, Dianne’s birthday. I knew I wanted to give her something special. She has truly been a God-send to me. When my car broke down I was about to panic about how I was going to get to work but before I even could, Dianne offered to let me ride with her. Oh..let me backtrack…when I got this job and they were taking me around to meet everyone, when I met Dianne she asked me where I live…

Me: I live in Hutto
Dianne: So do I
Me: I live in XXXX subdivision
Dianne: No way! So do I!!!
Me: Get out! I’m on XXX Dr.
Dianne: I live on the next street over!!!
Both: Small world!!!

Then we found out that she lives right next door to my daughter’s best friend. Mani had even helped feed Dianne’s cat while she was out of town (Her best friend was feeding the cat while she was away & Mani helped).

So she let me carpool with her all last week and even got SERIOUSLY mad at me when I offered her gas money.

Now I originally made this blanket for my ex’s mom but after praying about it and talking to one of my friends, decided that I needed to make a clean break from that relationship. Anyway he was supposed to have sent this blanket to his mother weeks ago when I finished it. I knew I wasn’t going to keep it and so I gave it to Dianne this morning.

She wouldn’t let me take her picture but here are her hands holding it up *LOL*

Non-crochet Random Thoughts

I had to take care of some business last week that regarded my daughter & her father and I was NOT a happy camper*ugh*

I often questioned why God would have me deal with my daughter's father when he is so off the beaten path and a felon. I questioned what happened with my decision making that I would even CHOSE to be around such a person, and have a relationship with him let alone create a child with him.

Then one day the Holy Spirit dropped into me that it didn't have anything to do with me. My daughter had to have this particular heritage...me as her mother and him as her father, as a part of HER purpose in Christ. Plain and simple.

Now things have worked out that he has NOT been a part of her life since day one except for a short period of time after she turned 8yrs old that ended (because of poor decisions on his part) before she turned 10yrs old. God...not me...has done a wonderful job of making sure that he wasn't around to pass on those bad habits & bad choices that landed him where he is.

He was destined to be her biological father, but not the one to influence her nor to raise her. When I realized that, it just really blessed me that even in the mistake I made for having dealt with her father in the first place, there was still a blessing from God in it.
