Happy Mail, Onolicious Food, Good Friends, and Crafting

Happy First Day of November everyone!  I am so happy that it's the weekend.  I made it through a stressful week in one piece last week by God's grace and with Him providing people in my life to come along side to encourage and pray for me.  He allowed happy mail (an order from the Disney Store, an order from The Greeting Farm, and two cards with RAKs.) to arrive this week too which helped make things a bit brighter.  Here a picture of one of the RAKs and a card that I received.

To help end the week on a happy note I spent some time with friends.  Getting to hang out with a good friend on Friday for lunch

and good friends for dinner was the perfect way to help me end my week praising God for giving me strength to get through the week. 

Here is a picture of the food my friend Esther and I enjoyed for lunch (We had a poke stack for our appetizer.  For lunch we shared an ahi steak sandwich and a chicken kale salad.)

and what my family enjoyed and I had for dinner with our friends Lorraine and John. 

Before I end this post I am going to share what I made for Esther and the RAK that I surprised her with.  For those of you that know me you know that I like to coordinate the card and RAK that I give.

I also made and Lorraine and John some thing, but I will share that with you in a later post.  This is what Esther gave to me and surprised me with. 

I really like the Christian bracelet that she gave to me, the cute pumpkin that opens up, and the super cute pumpkin.  Despite it being a stressful week last week I thank God for how He has used it to teach me to rely on Him more.  I also thank Him for the blessing of good friends and the hobby of crafting to help me along.  Thanks for stopping by!
