Can I just beg forgiveness?  Can I say that I'm not in control?  I relinquished that to the Lord.  I don't have my vehicle here — working out that control issue thing. 

So all the Siestas in New Orleans met for lunch …. but not me.  Nope.  I was wandering the streets of New Orleans.  Actually the super sweet new friend, Stella, a local, gave us  a tour of the Garden District and it was wonderful, but I didn't make it to the lunch gathering.  I wanted to cry — of course, my friends (non-Siestas) don't quite get the whole blogging friend thing.  I think they think I'm a bit nuts to run up to people and shout — oooooh, Grateful in Georgia!  Jenny Hope!  Di in ohio!!  I know you! 

They didn't quite understand that this is the one chance I have to meet up with my Siestas!  At least for a good long while . . . .

So I planned the lunch and didn't show!  How incredibly cool is that? !  I'm too cool to even show up at my
(and Sarahs's ) own lunch.

As a point of clarity — Sarah (another super cool blogging chick) planned the lunch, I just blogged about it and then didn't show up…. I'm asking God Almighy to give us another chance to gather for fellowship in New Orleans and I'm trusting Him to be in control.  It's quite obvious that we don't need to put me in charge of anything!! 

I missed the lunch but I've been blessed beyond measure by the Siestas that I've met!  All amazing, each one.  All precious and all here because God has a plan for her!  AMEN! Please pray for Beth as she prepares and for each woman present that the Lord speaks to her heart.

Now I'm going to slink away and hide my red face……

More to come and pictures too……
