Tonight Heidi and I went out for a little Target shopping as I needed to pick up a wedding shower gift. Chuck and I had attempted to buy a gift earlier in the day, but got so frustrated that Target had NOTHING off the registry they claimed to have, we gave up and went home. I needed a girl friend reinforcement. Sure enough, when she and I got to searching for something off the registry, she pointed me straight to…
Many people have been asking if there are any job updates. No. Nothing. Not even a speck of a chance anywhere. We don’t mind the question, but we never have an answer. And we probably won’t have any answers until the very last possible second. We did experience God in a cool way last night. It was His way of showing us that He has not forgotten our situation, and does have something up His sleeve for us. You…
It’s officially a snow day here South of the Mason Dixon Line- in the month of March. Who would have thought? I’m pretty excited about the change of pace. The snow keeps coming down in HUGE beautiful flakes. We have nowhere to go, no place to be, and are quite happy about it. Plus, American Idol is on tonight and we can curl up, settle in, and enjoy the two-hour guy’s night. Normally we’d be with our teen small group,…
I hate when Chuck goes snowboarding. I had never thought of snowboarding as dangerous, but when he got into an accident five years ago, it sealed the deal for my disdain of the sport. We were just barely dating when I got a call from a friend of Chuck’s who I had never met. At the time, I don’t think I had actually met any of his friends. His name was Jon, who Chuck and I call “Chev”, and he…
I haven’t had a fun day in awhile. I’ve had fun here and there, but it’s just been a season of blah. My friend Heidi, without knowing it, rescued me today and suggested we go to lunch and shop. It was so great. We met up at The Cheesecake Factory for lunch, and then shopped at the connected mall. The mall was packed. There was some Chinese festival thing going on or something. I hadn’t been to the mall in…
We love you, Grammy! http://www.lawrenceeyoungfuneralhome.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1940964&fh_id=11439
I must report that getting up extra early last Sunday morning wasn’t my greatest idea. My heart was in the right place, but who am I kidding? Me + early morning does not equal a sweet time with anybody. I don’t believe God has much to say to me when it’s still dark out. 😉 Needless to say, I’ll stick to my old Sunday morning ways. My times with Him have been sweet. Just purely sweet. It seems each day…
I love to worship our Savior through singing or music because it’s an emotional connection to God for me. When I hear songs through my phone, on the radio, played over a CD, or when I get to sing my own praises to God using my voice (only God would enjoy that!) I feel it. There have been times when I’ve wanted to express my heart through worship, but didn’t have the courage. There have been times when I’ve wondered…
We are so blessed! This is my parent’s tree, and the crazy amount of gifts that surrounded it on Christmas day. I love my parent’s tree so much. Growing up my Dad and I would go out to the woods, pick our own tree, and chop it down. Once I moved out of the house, my parent’s caved and got a fake tree- which I now love. And if you look closely, you can see the gorgeous snow in the…
I confess I was afraid to write what I did yesterday. I was afraid someone would cheapen my experience with God, or make me feel like what happened wasn’t true. But, in my heart it was clear God wanted me to share His message with all of you so I did. The responses I have gotten made me realize that many of us have been believing the very same lies. I haven’t been alone in the lie I’ve been living…
