Have a Drink
Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 12:00AM As of today I have had diabetes for 21 years.
I am lying in bed in a dorm of about 40 snoring men. This retreat weekend has been amazing and an eye opener in a lot of ways.
We get up very early tomorrow but I wanted to stay up until midnight to write this. I may regret it tomorrow but as of this moment I am happy I pushed through the case of the drowsies I had earlier.
As I lay hear and listen to the rumble of different snores I am reflecting back to a year ago. When I experienced one of the most amazing weekends I had ever had. I still cannot believe what a great time it was.
So many people.
So much support.
So many new friends.
So many GREAT memories.
So this year I am spending my diaversary serving. It seems the right response to an awesome weekend full of blessings last year to try and do something for someone else this year.
I know I will have a lot to write about. I have a lot of things I need to express and get down here on my blog.
So as soon as I publish this post I am going to set my iPhone down next to my bed, thank God for the changes he is making to my heart, pray all of the DOC has a restful night, and that he continues to bless us all with many more years.

I think it is really neat that you were able to mark another year of life with diabetes at this retreat. It's a sign. :-)
