41

41 days until SUMMER!! WOOOHOOO!! Can I get a what what? How about a Hallelujah? Maybe a yeah baby! Just thought I'd share...now if we can just get past TAKS. NERVOUS? Yes...

I realize I usually blog on Wednesdays...this is because after my p90x is over, I have a quiet house on Wednesday nights. So, I have time to blog. I was going to do another awkward video post, but I decided to save that for you another time. Maybe I'll do a video post on a day I don't work out and save you from the grossness that is my hair and face post-workout.

Anyways, Happy Birthday to the beautiful Sarah Stapleton! She's great!

On another note- I have my job next year for sure. If God doesn't open a door for Tim for youth ministry somewhere else, I will definitely be teaching third grade. This is a nice feeling because I know many districts in Texas are CUTTING probationary teachers. So, hurrah for a job!

On a more serious note, let me share a new development. God has decided to work in a way that I did not ask him to. As a normal woman, I have always desired to settle down, have a cute brick house, and grow my family and accumulate the things that make my house pretty (i.e. the new living room set I'd like to have, a bedroom set where we can fit our clothes in, new wall decor, painted walls, etc.) These things aren't bad...BUT, God has released me from that desire (again, not that I think it is wrong to want those things.) All of a sudden, I am willing to sell everything I have and GO.

Excuse me?

Yes, I (we) will GO. Wherever God wants us to GO, we have committed to say, "yes, Lord!" Although it could mean staying here, it could mean leaving the country, leaving the state, going to a new city where my job situation could be nerve racking for lack of positions available...we've said, "Okay, God." YAWEH...that's what's important...I AM. So, if I AM says go...we will!

What's crazy is I never said we wouldn't go certain places. BUT, God just gave me a peace and I am no longer attached to the American dream. Sure, God could just be using this as a means to remind us live simple and Christ-like lives. But, we may end up somewhere unexpected! Again, I ask prayers for us as Tim seeks youth ministry...somewhere.

Looking forward to a weekend in Arlingfun! Tim is going to a concert for his birthdayand I am doing a 5k with my beautiful cousin! Watch out DFW!
