This last week was so long. So aggravating. A lot of things happened. A lot of things that I can't really go into detail with.
It was a great week, a hard week, But really good.
We had those up and down moments. Someone we have been working a
lot decided that life was too hard and that smoking and drinking are
something they needed. So we did everything we could to help. After a
very long hard day I hit my knees. Prayed honestly like I never have
prayed and My prayers were answered. It was a very spiritual and
uplifting experience. Very personal as well. Last week at this point
seems so far away I am having trouble remembering everything that
happened. Cartersville is just one big blur as soon as that week passes
it just thrown into the Cartersville Pile in my mind haha.

| Yea! It's a package from home |
We made a big "quit smoking
pack" for some one else we have been working with a lot. We got a ton of
tic tacs, life savers and made 40 signs that say "today I decide to not
smoke" and made a GIANT poster board one. Slowly but surely she started
cutting back. Some days are better than others but slowly and surely
she progressively cutting back. Today (Wednesday) she called us over and
handed me her last pack that only had 4 smoked out of it and she said
take them I don't want them. Get them out of here. A lot of things lead
up to this. We had the chance this week to give like 5 blessings. Each
one was very powerful. That is one of my favorite things to do. You are
able to feel God's love for that person. One blessing stood out to me
the most. It was for the lady we made the stop smoking pack for. She
asked for help. She was having a really rough time with a lot of things
in her life. The blessing was so powerful, and since then she has really
started
to cut back.
I have always said you know God loves you when He answers your
prayers, You know god trusts you when you are the answer to someones
prayers. Helping people and making even just a little difference makes
all of these rough hard times here so worth it. Every day is rough,
every day also has an experience that gets me through it.
I hope every one is doing great. Sorry its so short Just too much to talk about and not enough time.
Love you all
