Yesterday it was a wonderful blessing to have lunch with Alicia of forhispurpose.blog and her family. They were in Lincoln for a soccer tournament that was canceled at the last moment, but they came anyway.

Alicia is someone I admire for her faith and how she has overcome with the help of Jesus. She lives outside of a small town in Western Nebraska. They have animals on their acreage. I lost track of how many, but still tried to encourage them to get a couple of llamas because llamas can fight off the coyotes.

We met at Chic-fil-A. It was fun to get to know Alicia’s family. Her husband is a guy I am sure I would have fun hanging out with. Her children are obviously intelligent because they laughed at my jokes. 🙂
It was the second time I met up with Alicia. The first time was when she came to Lincoln with her pastor’s wife. The first time one meets Alicia in person, the first thing one might notice is her bright smile. She exudes the joy of the Lord. Her family is fun and I can easily imagine the adventures they must have.
One thing I wish I could do is travel to meet other bloggers, but my work and ministry keep me busy. Even when classes are on break, I still have my weekend groups. Maybe one day, I will make the four hour trip west to visit Alicia and her family. I think I would need to drive to the small town near her and ride a horse and buggy to her place though. 🙂
How has your weekend been?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
