Luke 16 and God rocks

We're at N. Myrtle all week. I didn't fill you in on why :) I'm here helping chaperone Adam's youth group from Abilene this week. The first part of the week we have the High School juniors and seniors and then Wednesday he'll go back and drop off the HS and pick up the college students. Last night we had a great devotional time and talked about the amount of influence christian students can have in their schools and community. One of the girls, when we were on the trip to the Braves game Saturday found out her friend drowned. She didn't know if he were a christian or not so that was a topic of conversation last night. It's so important to be an example so people will know you love Jesus :) After the devotion, four of us sat up and talked about not knowing if someone is a christian when they die. We discussed Lazarus and the rich man and the rich man wanted Abraham to let Lazarus go back and tell his brothers so that they won't have to come to the place of torment. We were telling her that this is a great time to share with her friend's family and friends regardless of whether he was a christian or not. Then, this morning, my reading was in Luke 16 and that was one of the stories Jesus told. :) Makes me appreciate God's timing! It's encouraging reading God's word and watching it apply to life today.
Praise the Lord! Pictures coming soon :)

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
