Back at It

I love to write. Sometimes life takes over, and I stop writing. Sometimes I just feel I need to stop putting my thoughts down for reasons only I would probably understand. It's been 2 years since I've put fingers to keyboard (instead of pen to paper!), & I have missed it. I have missed putting my thoughts down as I've noticed it really does help me process life in general. I've written some long status updates on Facebook! And so, I start again!

Still taking one day at a time. The Lord gives us each one day. He does not promise tomorrow. He gives us TODAY. How will I live for him today? What will I do for him today? Truthfully, in God's Kingdom I don't think there's room for procrastination when it comes to telling others about Christ, and yet we all procrastinate in that way. I know I do. I tell myself, "oh, I can talk to that person about Christ tomorrow." or "I'll be kinder to her tomorrow, I just don't have the energy today." or "I'll be a good mom to my kids tomorrow. I'm too tired today." If we're honest with ourselves we've said these things. We've put off to tomorrow what we should've done today.

"TODAY is the day the LORD has made! Let us REJOICE and be GLAD in it!" Psalm 118:24 

We are given TODAY. Let us not take advantage of today to do what we want. Let us be reminded we are given today to do the things the Lord would want us to do for him. 

What is the Lord asking you to do for him today?

Who are We?

I want to introduce you to myself and my family! We're a crazy bunch of people, who love each other fiercely. The couple who started it all: My husband, David, and I, have been married 9 years (just celebrated in Jan!). We met online, back when it was just becoming acceptable to do so and life has been an adventure ever since! We live in Ohio, and he is a pastor of a small urban church. This is our 2nd church, and we've been here now almost 4 1/2 years! We love to go out to eat (ok, we go out to eat TOO much!), but we especially love to try new places that are ethnic, or off the beaten path. Basically, if it's not a chain restaurant we're interested! We especially love middle eastern food, specifically from Turkey! My husband grew up in WV, born and raised, and has just recently graduated with his Doctorate of Ministry!!! I grew up as a missionary kid in the savannas and jungles of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa (was called Zaire when I was growing up).

To Be Thankful: Friends

Friends. They come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. I can look back on my life and see the different key friends the Lord has blessed me with over the years. Being a missionary kid one tends to move a lot. And, if you don't move chances are the people around you are moving. You can become best friends with someone and after 2 years her family moves and doesn't come back. I learned early in life to make friends quickly, and not to waste time with surface, fluff stuff, but to get to the heart of a person quickly. I learned you just never know how long you have with a person before they go. As an adult, I'm finding that not everyone sees life this way. I'm learning not everyone wants to share their heart of hearts with you right away. And, that's OK! I'm seeing it's one of the quirks left over from being an MK. During my childhood my mom always prayed for my sister and I to have a good friend when we would move to a new place. The Lord always answered those

Another First Day!

Tuesday we had another big day at our house! Ben started Kindergarten and Bekah started preschool! Our church runs a nursery school for ages 2-5. We had enrolled Ben in one of the 4s classes to finish up last year. He loved it, we loved it, it's just great!!! Plus, having David at church during the day helps with transportation. Ben is enrolled in the 5s program. He goes 4 days a week. When he gets home we do lunch and then do our own schoolwork. We opted to keep him out of a traditional K class so that we can focus more on his speech therapy. This seems to be a good combination. We feel the program at the nursery school and then what we do at home will compliment each other, at least that's the idea! He LOVES it, of course! There are 4 kids from his class last year also with him this year so that's been great. I love watching him grow and mature. Also, as we've been working together at home I'm realizing that teaching him will be WAY different than it was with Co
