WOW

How did an entire week go by?

Quick little update on Matt, my pastor - just in case you haven't been following along on the web site. He was moved to rehab on Thursday and hopefully will only be there for a week or two. Tonight...he is out on a "pass", having dinner and a movie with his wife! What wonderful news!
No word on the pathology report yet, keep praying.

One of my highlights this week was having a friend over to watch the movie, The Nativity. This friend is a new Christian and she knew basically zero about the story of Jesus' conception and birth. What fun it was to be part of the new excitement as she learns more and more about her Savior!

The countdown has started! Ten days until Adam and Thien arrive for their holiday visit! I am working on menu's and getting things ready. Christmas shopping was completed today (with the exception of two small items) and wrapping will begin tomorrow. The cards are all ready to stamp and put in the mail on Monday. This really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, decking the halls, and jingle bells, I just have to stop and thank God for all the wonderful things He has done. But especially for sending His Son to earth, by way of a young but amazingly faithful young woman named Mary, to save me from my sins and the weariness of the world. Rejoice! A Savior has come - He is Christ the Lord!

Photos tomorrow! I just wanted to say hi!

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
