Twenty-ten...let the fun begin!


Or something like that. 2009 was a whirlwind. Great in 08, Time to Shine in 09, and in 2010...well, we will see. We started out the New Year in Charlotte with great friends and fellowship. We went over to Scott and Kristi Brooks' home (new house, they have so cutely decorated!) and Scott's family was in town for the holidays. We had a great dinner and talked and watched the Red Bull guy jump over the water in his car and then watched the ball drop - about eight times. Scott enjoyed replaying poor Dick Clark messing up the count down. Ahhh...New Years Eve :)

Katie was going to a party down the street and stopped by to say hi, was great to see her as always before they headed back to AZ. Who knows where they will be headed to next?!


Thus, the new year is here and new beginnings and thus far...it's been hard. My fun spirited self has dwindled over these first 8 days of the year and been all about what Dave says...you see, Dave is trying to get us out of debt (Thank you student loans for education and credit cards and appendicitis), but we do know that we need to be debt free. Adam started P90x, or, two days of it this week. It's a hard thing to get up before work to work out and our evenings are so full. My ciatic something was acting up - so no working out this week for me. I'll get back to it next week. It's way easier for me to work out at a gym, with people and classes and people. Did I mention people?

I'm trying to decide what to do with the rest of my life. Looking for work and just looking at all kinds of things. With the world and money like it is right now, who knows what I'll end up doing. Just praying through...maybe that should be the phrase for 2010. Praying through....we are sure praying through lots of things. I've thought about writing a book. That may sound crazy but I've always wanted to try. Really, what I'm looking forward to right now is the day we can buy furniture and Spring. Oh how I long for spring. I want to plant flowers and be outside. Yes. But, this is the winter season and there is a time for every thing, a season for everything. So I will rejoice and take this time to learn from the Lord and see what He has for me. A friend pointed out to me that this might be the only time I'll have this much quiet and little distraction to just spend time with Him. As was played by Shelly, Lem and Mike - All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship.

Come organize my house and we can figure it out together? How's that sound? I know it's hard...praise God it's his plan to work out, and not ours, right? Meanwhile, I'm happy to read your "uninteresting" blog :)

Things...

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now. Millie photographed Rebecca's wedding, that I was in - and her photography is just amazing. I feel like I should say this! Shelly Moore Band. Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful. She praises Jesus with her voice and Mike's guitar. www.shellymoore.com . You should buy her cd. Charlotte South Fellowship Where I hang out, praise Jesus, and learn more about Him.

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
