Indiana is Farmland.

I've been in Indiana since Monday June 17. We've been visiting gyms like crazy. Meredith is with me and so far we have eaten at Chick fila twice, Cracker Barrel, Macaroni Grill, Panera, TCBY, and numerous gas stations and hotel breakfasts. Tonight was a great night...because we have been driving from approximately 10am to 9pm each night visiting allstar and gymnastics facilities, we haven't been able to work out. Today however, an amazing thing happened. I'm not exxagerating because when you travel for a living, the little things become amazing things :) We found a Holiday Inn Express (mainly because I have a priority club for Holiday Inn hotels) and they were booked. The super nice lady, named Jennifer, said that she could honor the Holiday Inn Express rate for the Staybridge Suites next door. Jennifer walks away briefly, and then nice lady at the desk (she'll go unnamed because she wasn't wearing her nametag) said that we were getting upgraded because the Staybridge is "alot fancier, and they have hotdogs and hamburgers tonight". Woo hoo! So she hands us a post it and we drive our rented Hundai Sonata next door. In we walk to the nicest people on the planet. Irena was at the desk and she booked us a room for the rate next door, said they were having complimentary hotdogs and hamburgers and wine etc from 5:30 to 7:30...hello non chain restaurant food. The guy who cooked them, his name was Ryan and he was very nice. Jennifer made her way over to the Staybridge to chat with us about Cheerleading, and to ask for my card so she could help us out next time we're in town. Then, super nice other guy, asked us where we were staying for tomorrow night and we realized we were supposed to be staying at the Holiday Inn Express because it had a shuttle. He says, OH you should cancel and just stay here two nights. We NEVER get to stay in the same hotel two nights in a row. But super convenient because we are right near the airport and we have gyms to visit in this area. You mean I get to leave my suitcase on the floor and my shampoo in the shower for a whole day?! Oh the joys. Haha. So we went and ate a hotdog and then hit the fitness room. Gotta keep in shape while I'm traveling!
We did notice there are several FEMA people staying in our hotel that are helping out with the disaster recovery from the floods that are hitting the area. Two gyms we were supposed to visit have been badly damaged by the water. I can't imagine what it's like to have floods destroy everything.
Meredith just informed me there is a Jon & Kate plus 8 marathon on!
Only one more day and then I fly back into Charlotte and no more work traveling for the rest of the summer. Praise Jesus. I do learn alot, and I'm sure the Lord is using it to prepare me for something someday.

I loved reading your post:) It made me smile thinking about the life of hotels! Although, I don't travel nearly as much as you do, I totally can relate! I'm so glad you got to meet wonderful people and eat a hot dog and work out! Yay! Miss you!

Fish on Land

I was telling my friend Kristi the other day that we sordof feel like Fish on Land. Out of place, awkward, and not sure what we are supposed to do to survive. Our lives have been a whirlwind since...well...awhile. We left the church Adam was on staff with Easter Sunday. Since then, we have been praying and asking God what and where we are supposed to do next. Move to Charlotte, move to Wilmington, move to somewhere a church hires us. Do we look for church positions or look for secular jobs...do we look for student ministry jobs or another type of ministry? Do we sell or rent our house? What are we supposed to do? The answer to these questions are not yet decided. We have had some contacts for jobs but nothing has come through yet. We think we might want to move to Wilmington if we can find something. We pray every night asking God that we stay in His will. Knowing all along that what His will might be is that we just trust in Him and be patient. Trusting that He will provide. That H

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I
