Mary Kay and Katie

You never know what a phone call will bring. I still don't have caller id so sometimes I just have to rely on my voice recognition skills (or lack thereof) to identify callers. Other times I'm totally at a loss, hoping for some "clue" that will reveal who I'm talking to!

Last night I heard from my childhood friend, Wendi. We've know each other since we were 7 years old. That's 39 years! Wow....anyway, after a few moments of jubilation, the conversation became very somber. Another mutual friend of ours just received the worst news...Her nine year old daughter, Katie, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Please, all of you who still believe that God's miracles have NOT ceased for our day, please pray for her. She lives in L.A. All I know is that a few weeks ago she was just like any other little girl, playing soccer and enjoying life. Mary Kay and Bob are her parents. She has an older sister. I believe she is 12.

Thank you friends. "Daily bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the love of Christ."

Real Estate

Hi family and friends. Ellie Mae...I especially wanted you to see this. I passed my real estate exam! Yep...I'm joining Tim and together we have a plan to do this real estate thing. I've been consumed for more than a month (60 hours of Principles of Real Estate) plus study time just getting ready for my exam. I enjoyed learning all the new terminology and the general scope of what this field is all about. Today I met with Tim's broker; soon to mine as well. He says that being a team will really bring some stuff out...good and not so good. I'm especially excited to work with Tim and learn from him. Wow...I can't wait to meet all these new friends and see God's plan unfold.
