Yes, I am a fan

Saturday November 7th

I am a fan of Twilight.
A big fan.
Today at Mardel we found this shirt.
Sigh. :)

Restful weekend (updated)

Friday October 16th

Saturday October 17th

This weekend Jeremy and I took advantage
of a free prayer retreat cabin.
Sponsored by the gospel radio station you see on the pen,
the cabin was a nice place
to get away from everything: phone, tv, internet -
and just focus on each other.

Teaching is the best way to learn

Thursday October 1st

Last night at TeamKID
(Wednesday night bible study for 1st-5th graders)
we talked about how God has great plans to provide for all our needs.
We made these worry boxes and I brought mine to work.
I really need it there.
Although the lesson and the box were for the kids,
it really meant something to me as well.

Starting the day right

Tuesday September 29th

Janet has a great collection of Byron's sermons on CD.
We really enjoy listening to them in the morning on the way to work.

Diary of a Sad Man

Friday September 11th

I have been listening to sermons in the car on the way to work.
My mom sent me Shawn Fowler's sermon series: Mythbusters.
It is based on the book of Ecclesiastes
They are good and challenging.

Instrumental Music

Sunday September 6th

Today in Bible Class we talked about instrumental music.
Do you like the pairing in my picture?

This week's theme song

Wednesday August 26th

We sang this song on Sunday and it touched me.
I have been singing it to myself every morning.
We sang it again tonight at the Back to School Prayer Night.
It brought tears to my eyes.

As a woman in the church...

Sunday August 16th

In Bible class we are studying the role of women in the church.
This is a difficult and emotional subject for me.
I have always felt confined by my "woman box."
Is freedom available even for me?

Bring Christ your broken life

Sunday August 2nd

The ladies of the Kerrville Church of Christ made this cross out of broken things.
It represents how God takes the broken and makes them something beautiful.

One of the things Aunt Marilyn included was this shoe.
She found it out at our ranch in New Mexico.
It was probably worn by my dad and other siblings.

I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about my family history;
Thinking about my Grandma.
That God is at work in all the threads of our story is baffling and encouraging at the same time.

May I continue to yield to his breaking and making.

Anxiety Attack

Tuesday June 30th

This summer our ladies' group at church is having a book study:
Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow.
I'm working on it...
