No nap for me

     I always look forward to a sunday afternoon nap.  I can sleep all day.  But today I decided that no matter how sleepy I think I am I am not going to waste such a beautiful afternoon indoors undercovers.  Brett and I are going for a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood, maybe to the park and then when we get back I am going to make cupcakes.  Yummy yummy cupcakes!  Okay here we go…I’ll be back!

House update

    Well,  we looked at two houses today and think we have found the house for us.  We will be submitting a written offer tomorrow.  I am so excited yet alittle nervous.  I don’t want to get my hopes up.  And I don’t want to pay anymore than we offered but who knows what they will do.  I pray they accept our offer.  Anyway… more updates as they come! 

I’ve got news!!!

     With a title like that I can just imagine what your first thought would have been.   But nope you are wrong!  All I wanted to tell you is that I have THE MOST WONDERFUL HUSBAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!  Some of you may beg to differ but again…wrong!  Today when I got home from work Brett had a hot bath ready and waiting for me!  He made it just for me.  Because he loves me!  What do you think about that?  I love the way he shows me that he loves me even when I haven’t taken the time to show him how much I love him.  It reminds me of the way our Father shows His love for us even when we are too busy to tell Him how much we love Him.  Or when we go all day without getting lost in His presence.  He is still faithful to show His love for us.  Anyway…I didn’t intend to get all spiritual I just wanted to brag on my man!  I love my husband!

Will it be a house?

     After being renters for ten years Brett and I have decided that we shall become home owners.  WOW.  How scary.  I have never owed such an amazing amount before.  It seems to be a bit overwhelming when you start looking at the figures.  But not so much when you”re  looking at hardwoods and granite counter tops!  I would love to buy a house that needed a little TLC so that Brett and I can add our own personal touch to it.  We love to do that kind of stuff.    Please pray for us that we will not only get the house that we love but that it will be the one that God has for us and that it will be for a great price!

Techno geek

    So I have officially entered the world of twitter!   I have no idea what I am doing but I am a fast learner and will catch on quick.  Any help will be great though.  I am not going to let technology rule me!  I shall rule technology! 

Do you really remember?

     Sunday Pastor Bryan shared a very powerful message that really left me feeling a little convicted.   This was the second installment in the series entitled Catalyst.  A catalyst is someone or something that produces a change.  This week he spoke about how we as christians tend to point the finger at those around us who are living in sin.  What got to me the most though is that he asked if we really remembered,  I mean truely remember where we had been.  And the answer I had to give was “no”.  I have not really remembered where I was when God had found me.  I didn’t remember the deep pit that I had dug for myself.  I was at what I would call the lowest point of my life.  In that time of my life what I needed most was not someone pointing at me telling me all the things that I was doing wrong and that I was going to hell in a handbasket.  What I needed was someone who was going to love me even in my sin and show me the way to salvation.  Yes Jesus is the one who saves but He uses us in the process.  We talk about wanting to make a difference in our neighborhoods, in our communities, and in our cities but we will not make that difference if all we do is point to all the faults.  We need to be the love of Christ and not just shout amen at church when the pastor says it.  So where do we start?  Daddy God  start with me.  Help me remember where I came from and help me to remember what I needed when I was there.   And in the words of Pastor B… help me to stop giving the world the finger.  Amen.
