For my Valentine's day and my birthday, my sweet husband surprised me with a trip to see my favorite pastor's wife, friend,and mentor, Mama B. (a.k.a Sherry Blankenship). She lives in St. Louis. If you know me, you know what a huge blessing this is to get to spend time with her. She is the reason why I have a relationship with Christ. Since 7th grade I was able to see the Lord move and work in such precious ways in her life. She is the essence of a gentle and quiet spirit, she loves the Lord and everyone around her, she is a dear wife to her "Prince", Bible scholar and teacher, and she can throw down a mean cookie any day of the week. My hero! I am sitting and soaking up as much wisdom as I can, but having a blast on the way! Last night we went to the symphony at an incredible theatre called the Powell.

Afterwards we hunted down Ted Drewes for

Lord Jesus, I offer You
All that I am
All that I have
All that I do
All that I suffer
Now and Forever
