happenings

Life has been just like a box of chocolates here lately. It seems as if the cooler it gets outside the busier life seems to become. We spent fall break hanging around the house. We went to the zoo one of those days. The last weekend of fall break we went to Georgia to the fall festivals going on there. It was nice to get away and visit with the family. Coming back home I realized yet again I had forgotten about Sarahs dental appt., so I had to reschedule that one...and thankfully I got her to that one. :) I have been so forgetful here lately. Not sure what is up with that. This past weekend we went to the Jack Daniels BBQ. It was nice although extremely crowded. After that we rushed back to Nashville to do Ghouls at Grassmere. That was actually quite nice. Although extremely cold to me. My favorite place was next to the bon fire. Hope to do that one again next year. This coming weekend we will trick or treat friday and hopefully do nothing the rest of the weekend. I am looking forward to some restfull days.

Pondering

Well its just another day in paradise heh? Things are getting better. Emotions are getting better. I am struggling with one thing more than any at the moment. I feel like I should volunteer to teach sunday school? In one sense I am really wanting to do this. In another sense I think I have lost my mind. I do not feel that I have enough knowledge to even attempt to teach. I barely feel like I am qualified to do moms in touch, and this is a whole new arena. Any way, I know that I will eventually do what I am being led to do. It may just come out of my mouth with out me thinking about it.... I am pretty good with things like that. I often say things before thinking. And most of the time that winds out ok, but sometimes I can get in trouble for it. Be patient... It all works out for good in due time.

one more tear

Well this day that some of us has been dreading has finally come. Today we said goodbye to our beloved pastor and his better half our dear sister Angie and their family. I have come to a better understanding of how majestic our God is and how He has everything to a plan for our good. Through Brad and Angie I have developed a deeper relationship with Christ and have done some things for the kingdom I thought I could never do. Angie has been such a wonderful influence in my life. I will truly miss her passion for Christ each time I encountered her. She truely inspires me to reach deeper and deeper into that relationship. Although our paths may not cross that frequently this side of heaven, I know she will one day be praising the Lord with me once again. I can not wait though to see the changes the Lord has in store. He is most definitely the master planner and I can not wait to see the way things will unfold and the lives that are to be touched. One of my favorite quotes is "that which does not kill us will make us stronger" Well, I hate to see the change of a pastor. In a way, its unfamiliar territory for me. I have never gone through this type of change before in my life. Yet I know that there are great things to be in store for not only my but for the church as well as for Brad and Angie and the girls. In a sense I refuse to say goodbye. Not only because I suck at it, but because goodbye seems so permanent. I will close and say.... until next time my dear friend.
