Hmmmm...

I don't know what to write about today so I'm just going to jump in and see what happens.

By the grace of God things seem to be looking up.

I have started to make the changes I need to in order to get myself back on the right playing field, so to speak.

I had my first quiet time in a while. I've stayed in the Word and I've been praying but it's all kind of hit or miss, not intentional, like it should be. Basically, I've realized that I cannot live the my life "worthy of the Gospel of Christ" without the direction of the Holy Spirit.

So, that's what's going on there.

Take a gander at this:


This is a picture of me and a good number of my friends from high school theatre, I think I was 16 in this picture.

I am the one on the far right on the bottom. Man, I miss being a size 8 and my curls before they were introduced to a straightening iron. Those were the days.

Anyway, I can't remember if this pic was from New Years Eve or from when we closed a show (probably Young Frankenstein). From left to right is: Kim, Kendra, Danielle, Rachael, Margaret (still one of my BFFs), me and then up top is Lynn!

So, yeah, there's my confession of the day. I was the dorky theatre girl up at the school from 6:30 until like 10 or 11 at night and spent a lot of weekends working on sets and props. I was so in love with the stage that I even attempted to major in technical theatre once I got to college.

God had other plans and I couldn't continue in school so I had to humble myself and get a job at Wal-Mart. I praise the Lord that I did, otherwise I may have never met the love of my life, David!

You were a cutie pie.
God bless Wal-mart! He sees the big picture and puts us where we need to be at the right time.

it's called a 'walk with God' rather than a jump - we all get of the path...its the steps back that define the journey.

Teehee. Love that story, even though I'd already heard it. Love you!
