So I'm sitting her on a Sunday afternoon, belly full of sweet potatoes, watching Lord of the Rings with my husband, Anna, and Daniel....a pretty good Sunday afternoon.
Here are some things you should check out....

So, I had my first subbing job this week. I loved it! I subbed in a Special Education room, and it was such a great day! :) I really would do it without pay, just to hang out with those kids every day. I had good times this week hanging out with friends and family. I practiced cooking some...my fish tacos (not so good), buckeyes and pumpkin pie..(success). :) I really am starting to enjoy it!! AND, the Buckeyes lost. :( BOO....they really just sucked! oh well!
There were so many wonderful things about this week! One thing that the Lord is teaching my heart that for some reason I tend to forget is that as a child of my Father life on this earth is a battle. Sometimes we forget about the battle of good/evil - light/dark. Life will be so good, and then it blind-sides us. Other times, we focus on it so much that we walk around heavy, scared, and discouraged that nothing in this life is easy. I believe both are wrong lenses to look at the world through. The Lord has been teaching me to acknowledge the battle, pray for our ministry, pray for my husband and family, and pray for our friends; but to ultimately give HIM the responsibility of handling everything. AND, when I say give Him the responsibility....ALL of it. The Lord has been asking me to love and TRUST Him as a little child- child-like faith.
It is only through my eyes as His child (faithful, trusting, loving Him completely) that this world and this life is fun, full of joy and peace.
OK- SO I guess that is sort of spiritual......unlike the title of this blog! :)
On a completely different note:
To those in Ohio(and places other than Texas)that I love so very much- friends and family,
There is something I want to say to you all. I am not sure how to say it the right way, so I am going to say it out-right. I love you all so much. I miss you all so much it hurts. I know I am not as easy to access. I am not as easy to talk to. I am not even good a returning phone calls, emails...whatever.
That doesn't mean that I love you all any less than I did when I lived near you. I am just adjusting to my new marriage, environment, ministry, and work. Please continue to write and call; each time I hear from you it blesses me to know you are thinking of me at that moment. Life will eventually calm down. Thank you for your love and so often your encouragement. It is good to hear from you. I love you all!!! :) :) :)
Today I got some new running shoes and a running watch from my wonderful husband. I pretty pumped to try them out! HIGH FIVE!
bye :)
