If you have happened upon this . . . I bet you think you have the wrong Debbie Forland. The Debbie Forland you know would not have a blog that looks like this. The design is called "Ridiculously Fabulous." The Debbie know would have a design named, "Basic Dots" or "Damask Don't" in the shade of blue, of course. Or maybe "Jeans and a T-shirt."
Yup, I settled on "Ridiculously Fabulous." I am not sure why. I bet we will find out in the days ahead. I do like the colors . . . love that purple. But it was the name that got me. Not because I think I am "Ridiculously Fabulous." Maybe just "Ridiculous." But guess what? God is doing a new thing in my life. And thank Him for that, will you?
Isaiah speaks it best: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:18-19
So let's get the "me" out of the way because we have more important things to talk about in the future . . .
I really like blue.
I love the smell of honeysuckle.
The only kind of snow I like is on a Christmas card or during the month of December.
I love the beach.
I drink my coffee with half and half.
I think my husband gets better looking with age.
I love the smell of my boys' heads and still kiss their cheeks every single day.
My favorite food is a sugar cookie with icing on it.
I love to be with people.
I love to be alone.
I love to smell the pages of books and magazines.
Nothing makes me more upset than to see children mistreated.
I hate manicures.
I love pedicures.
I am picky about what I read.
I will eat almost anything.
I love to laugh - the kind where your stomach hurts and you look real ugly while doing it.
I love the smell of pine trees.
I am afraid of getting rabies from a wild critter.
I hate running on a treadmill.
I love running outside.
I love construction paper.
The smell of open windows + the sound of J. Vernon McGee on a scratchy radio + the sight of my mom at the clothesline + the feel of my dad's rough hands + the taste of roast and potatoes with gravy = happy memories from my home.
If I had a little girl, I would call her "Susie," even if her name was not that.
I think that's good . . .
So you have met the "Ridiculous" part of this pair . . . I pray that in the days to follow, you will become better acquainted with the "Fabulous." He is my God and my Redeemer. "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:2-3
