Oh corn!

The title of the post is for my granny and my mom. They say "oh corn" or "oh foot" when something goes wrong, haha. Really, there's nothing wrong minus the fact that I am yet again procrastinating.

Also, I mention corn because Jeff, Sarah, Colin, Tim, and I went to the corn maze/pumpkin patch/farm thing in Shreveport this weekend. I value my friendship with them so very much, this weekend was pleasant! I laugh so hard when we hang out with them...we have many "adventures" even if Sarah does not like being adventurous!


Tim and I are still absolutely clueless about where we need to go to church at. We still don't feel "at home." It's disheartening...it just makes us want to stop church for a while. But, we need the fellowship and family...so that's not okay. Pray that we will find a church home somewhere that we can be loved and used for His work.


I had a traumatic hair cut this weekend. It is uneven and not at all what I wanted...so in an hour I get to go get it fixed, and I am incredibly excited...I have had to wear my hair up in the past few days because of how awful it is. Luckily, my old roommate's mom is a wonderful stylist and she will save the day!


Can I just say that I am really bad at personal relationships? Since I've gotten married, it seems the thing I care about the most is coming home to Tim to hang out and rest...which isn't bad, but I feel like I have neglected other friendships I have made in the past. Luckily, we have married friends, too, which makes it easier to hang out all together at once..but still...sometimes I feel like I isolate myself...and lately it doesn't bother me that I do, and I don't know if that's okay.

Well I hope everyone is having a good, yet cool, week!

Can I just say....

Can I just say that I love my husband? I do. He is wonderful.

We are on the etbu commercial together and we look cute :) .

This is us being our crazy selves this weekend for Homecomming at ETBU.

Number three

Lives can be taken so fast. I was informed that a friend and fellow youth that I used to take home from church almost every Wednesday was killed in a car accident. She was a sweetheart, a youth that I was hoping I could be a good influence for. When I was a youth at University Baptist Church, we had about 15-20 students. Out of those, three have passed away in the past two years. One from an accidental gun shot at a party, one from a weak immune system from leukemia, and one from a car crash (she was present when the one at the party died). It is so hard to fathom what God's intentions are. Why would he take a life so young? Obviously, in His plan there is a reason, but in my totally human mind...I get so frustrated.

In my frustration, most of it stems from knowing how little time we have here. Part of me screams inside begging to God that these young people knew Him...and that I was someone who could have helped or hurt their belief in God.

I guess my big issue is that I was the female youth leader of all three kids that have passed away. Could I have done a better job? Did anything I said help them see the glory of our Majesty? Did my example open their eyes to accept our wonderful Savior? I don't know any of these things for sure, God does. But I want to know...I want to know full well that these students are up celebrating the new life with our Creator.

When we see the God of the Old Testament full of anger and revenge on His people, it's hard to believe that Jesus came from that same creator...gentle, humble, loving, accepting, forgiving. I know God is all of these things, but contrasting that to the wrath he put upon the Nations of Israel, he doesn't seem to be the same God....or atleast until something like this happens. God gives AND He takes away. I just wish I could grasp why.

I sing when I'm alone in my apartment :0)

It has been a while since I've blogged...I'm sorry to have kept you guys waiting.

Life is busy...and while it's busy I sit here and procrastinate. I haven't had time to blog because of school and such. I love being an education major and not writing papers all the time...but project after project gets tedious and time consuming! I am ready to get in that classroom!

In other news, Tim and I have begun praying about our jobs. We figure it's never too early to start praying for direction and clarity. We have thrown around the ideas of living in Mansfield and then I could teach in Arlington or Mansfield...I would love that! We both love that area! But, that's what OUR plan is, haha! God does place desires in our hearts for a reason, and so living back in the metroplex is still realistic! I am excited to see what the next few years will bring! I am scared at the same time, though. When we move, we will not have income yet...so that could be a bit rough. If everything goes as planned, we will be out of debt (minus school loans and a car payment everymonth) next year! It is so nice to be able to say that! When I start teaching and Tim is doing ministry, our income will triple if not quadruple what we are making now! We can finally have a real saving account!!

I probably won't be blogging again for a while, Homecoming is this week, soccer is starting, and like I said projects are piling. So, this will have to suffice your hunger for now!
Just know that God is good, and we are doing great!
