Oh how this scripture explains my night tonight.
I climbed in bed about 3 hours ago to finish watching Remember The Titans (thanks ABC Family) after my dad bailed out on me to go to bed.
{Quick sidenote: this got me so ready for Hog football ha}
When it got over-I was wide awake. Body exhausted from this weekend, but my mind racing.
I decided I had a few "not-fun" tasks for Young Designs I needed to do, so I figured why not knock them out tonight and make Monday a fun-task day!
But first, I was missing something/needed some help- So I opened by Beth Moore Bible study book "Living beyond yourself" and happened to stumble across this statement:
"How often, in the midst of a trial have we all said, "I don't know how any good will ever come from this one." Yet, have we ever lost our entire fortune, all of our children, and our health? In the midst of circumstances which continually testified that nothing good could ever be obtained, Job persevered, fueled by his hope that, "when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold." ...Job placed his hope in the truth expressed in Romans 8:28 long before it was ever written!"
As soon as I read this, I felt like it was exactly what I needed to hear. Besides everything picking up personally with work, I have some prayer requests for you all.
Well I would love it if you could keep these two in your prayers, sweet Aunt Rachel & Uncle Herbert!
Love this picture of Uncle Herbert waving at the beach.
These two have been on my mind constantly today, and would love your prayers. Uncle Herbert was admitted in the hospital Saturday in Nashville. He has a really bad infection, possibly septic, we are waiting for the results to get back. Please pray that the antibiotics are working for him and for strength and patience. He has been out of it and confused while at the hospital and not had much mobility in his legs. Luckily he was able to walk on the walker today with the physical therapist. Aunt Rachel and Uncle Herbert are the oldest Whitt's and adored by the entire family. We all are thinking and praying for them, and love them dearly.
Also, Lacey's future brother-in-law, Logan who is 13, had to be Med Flighted to AR Children's Hospital late this evening. He is experiencing kidney failure due to dehydration that put him in the hospital on Friday. He is in ICU at children's. Due to fluid in his lungs, his heart is enlarged, she just informed me he is going to be on dialysis till 2:15am. Bless his little heart, I can't imagine what he is going through right now. She asked for prayers that swelling & fluid goes down for him. Also for both the Tankersley/Johnson families that are up there right now.
While we are at it, add Mrs. Vickie Tankersley to your list, she starts her 6 months of chemo this Thursday. She is a fighter, and I know she will get through this.
Thank you for your prayers! Feel free to add yours in the comment box if you have someone you would like me to keep in mind. And remember have hope and trust in Romans 8:28. The man upstairs does have a plan for each and every one of us.
She did such a good job for her first game as a ninth grader. I only got a few pictures because I felt like my camera was bad luck. Ha Every time I started taking pictures they would get behind or make a mistake. So hopefully better luck with my camera next time. Congrats Miss Hayley, you did wonderful! I am so happy I get to watch you play this fall. Love you! 
And we had the BEST time ever!!! It was a long time coming for a reunion, and Amanda's wedding was perfect timing. And the blue dresses....So not planned but worked out well :)
This past weekend was one of my top weekends. It was so much fun relaxing and catching up with friends! Plus touring around and playing in Rogers/Bentonville! Thanks for a great time girls! 
As a new business owner, I am so pleased with the first 8 months and look forward to see how the rest of 2010 finishes out!!! Please continue to keep myself and my business in your prayers, and offer any feed back for Young Designs, or your advice in starting/running a small business. I love hearing from everyone who has "been there." It is such a wonderful learning tool. For those of you that are interested in all the details of the Fall Bridal Show head over to Young Designs Post!!!
Since I was in Fayetteville, I was able to see a few of my friends too!!! Natalie and I took the road trip up, hung out with friends Thursday night on Dickson St. We stayed with the newlyweds in their new home (which was super cute!!), got to see Ashley's new apartment, and go antique shopping on Friday. We also stopped by the new Riffraff store on the square. I was so happy to finally see it! Sorry, no party pics, I left my camera at home. But I am super excited about the next few weekends and promise many pictures coming your way! 
Story-time: 
Early Sunday, my wonderful mother and I headed up to Maumelle Country Club to set-up for Miss Allison's bridal shower. We were two of the hosts along with: (left to right) Mrs. Peggy, Mrs. Christy, Mrs. Debbie, (me & momma), Mrs. Teresa, and Mrs. Lynn (Mrs. Margret-not pictured). It was so much fun working with this group of lovely ladies.
Alisha was such a doll to work with and we became great friends over the last 7 months. It felt so weird today, adding her folder to the completed wedding file. I could not be happier for the two, and hope they are enjoying the sun in Mexico!
