I went to mail something to MY secret sister, and FOUND a package from mine!
This is what I found when I opened it! This is such an awesome manual. The funny thing is that I was just thinking about this book over this last few weeks. I have been wanting (needing) to go through this book again! I guess God really thinks I need to also, eh?
If you don’t have this book, buy it, borrow it from a friend, find it used somewhere, whatever it takes. You will not regret it! It is worth every penny of the $18 Above Rubies asks for it! Ok, I am going to plug Above Rubies. A couple of other items that you should get for yourself are Serene and Pearl’s CD’s Soothe Me and Peace All Over Me! I used my birthday money last year to buy them, and I love mine. They make me cry, smile, relax, and love on my kids. Oh, and subscribe to the magazine, email devotionals, and email newsletters for f*ree! They are so wonderful. I devour them when they arrive. Nancy came up last year, but I wasn’t able to attend because our chuch was having a history conference on the same weekend and the kids were participating in the program. I was SO disappointed that I couldn’t go!
Anyway, thank you, Secret Sister, for your extremely loving, generous gift! Thank you for allowing God to use you to make sure I dig into this book again! I know I appreciate it, and I am sure my dh and children will appreciate it also!

That is a good study manual! I picked it up (with a few other things) after the conference last year.
Although I've flipped through it, I haven't studied it in depth yet. It would make a wonderful group study as well but with the few mothers we have at church, and all of them in such various stages of motherhood, I'm not sure if it would work. Anyway, just wanted to say I like it too. 
I had now way of knowing if you'd have it already or not, but the book has been such a blessing to me, I figured if you didn't need it you could pass it on as a blessing to someone else!
Praying for you – your Secret Sister!
It sounds interesting! Can you detail for me a little more what it is about?
We are in Anchorage. I cannot wait to get up in the valley. I'll be busy getting ready for Christmas and I'm sure you are too. After the holiday, I guess we will start looking for a rental up there. I have one month paid for where we are in Anchorage and we really hope to be out of here by then, but it works for now. Merry Christmas!!
Grace, I tried to e-mail using the address from when you contacted us back in April 2006 but it came back as undeliverable.
Would like to apologize profusely for not responding sooner! In my (very) lengthy e-mail I explained what's going on.
I have a blog also. It can be found at: http://kimfromthesouth.blogspot.com/
Would love to hear from you!
