On the road again.....

Well, in about 10 minutes I will be heading out to the open road with my wonderful husband. Actually, I have to go pick him up from work first then we are off. I am so excited. I cannot wait to see all our family. I am so fortunate to have such great family around me. I not only have my family but my husband's family also. I don't like to look at it as in-laws. It is all family to me.

The cool thing is that we are going on the Riverboat cruise while we are in Louisville. I am really looking forward to that. We are also going to get to see some friends that Wayne has from High School. When we leave Louisville, we are off to Virginia to see my child-hood best friend. She is still considered my best friend but it makes it more dramatic when you add the child-hood......anyways. I haven't seen her in almost four years. Then we head to my parents and do the whole tour thing of our nation's capitol. We are both looking forward to that. I love history and I think Wayne does too, even if he won't admit it.

Well, I guess I should get off here so I can get my things together and head out. Keep us in your thought and prayers. When all is said in done we will have driven for 22 hours. Oh my!!

Blessings to you all!!!

Life in general......

I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. I have been asking God for some guidance, wisdom, and strength. I have in deed gotten what I have asked for and more. We serve such and amazingly awesome God. His goodness and faithfullnes never ceases to amaze me. There have been many days that I felt like giving up and throwing my hands in the air. Thank God, those days are behind me. I have learned so much over the last few years and continue to learn daily about how I can serve Him better and how I can help others. I have come to a point in my life that I am ready to be inconvienced for the sake of Christ and the furthering of His kingdom. For those that know me, you know I have come a long way to even be able to say those words. I am truly excited for what God has in store for my life and for my husband's life as individuals and as a couple. I am excited and encouraged by what God is doing in our corps. I am excited and encouraged about the part I am now playing and any future parts I will play. I am excited that God continues to strengthen me daily for the new healthy lifestyle choice I made last October. I am proud to say that I have now lost a total of 141 pounds. I am amazed at my accomplishment and look forward to reaching my weight loss goal of 200 pounds. God has blessed me in so many ways. I can't say that all has been a smoothe sailing but in every trial I take it as an opportunity to ask, "What is God trying to teach me?" Wayne and I have taken that to heart and daily live by that philosophy, if that's what you might call it.

Well I should close.....be encouraged because we serve an amazingly awesome God.

Tell others about Him!!!
