waiting

here we are. waiting. waiting for the call to come that will change our lives one way or another forever.

let me explain: when i met my wonderful husband he was working on a missions degree at baptist bible college. i told him early on that ive always wanted a family and that i couldnt/ didnt want to raise my kids in the jungle:) i was upfront with him and prepared to walk away, no matter how difficult, if that was what he felt God calling him to, because i didnt feel God leading me that way. he didnt know exactly what he wanted to do with missions, only that he wanted to serve God with his talents. Which i am all for! Prior to college, and then afterwards for that matter, he did construction- residential/commercial/large scale/small scale/detailed/basic you name it he's done it. and hes AWESOME at it. that raw talent, along with his crazy strong work ethic and big muscles:) has helped his succeed wherever he is, with whatever job has been thrown at him.

but building has never been his passion. sure he's good at it and has been able to support our family with it, but hes always wanted something else. until a few months ago neither of us knew what that was. but now... i think we know. we're just waiting to see if this certain job opening is the answer to years of waiting and searching and thinking and praying. we've been in the process since may. on saturday a panel sat and discussed my jeremy- looking at his education, experiences, volunteer work, testimony and personal references. and now we wait for the call to see if they will meet him face to face (cuz anyone who meets my love will LOVE him too- so once we get that far i know we're in!!) please be praying for us and once we know if this door is open or closed we will be more willing to disclose details- i hesitate to say what we want when we arent sure what the next step is, if this particular job doesnt work out! but we hope it does!

letting jillian kick my bum again

in a desperate attempt at finally losing my baby weight leftover from big man i met up with my old frenemy jillian michaels this morning at 6AM in my living room to do the 30 day shred workout. it worked with A and i have confidence it will work again, if i can only carve out the time for it. im hoping that getting my body back on track will inspire me to regain selfcontrol in other areas of my life like spending quiet time with God and organizing our home and trying to stick to a budget and on and on. all great "things" to aspire to, but overwhelming when i feel like i need to "fix everything" at the same time. im not one to make resolutions with the new year. i know myself much too well for that:) but i can start small and if i stick with this working out dealy- its gonna require me getting up early (because both my babies are early birds) and committing to doing it even when i dont feel like it- i CAN lose my extra 10ish pounds by W's birthday. Which was my g...

what Jesus wants us to do

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God   1  What shall we say then?  Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?  2  By no means! How can  we who died to sin still live in it?  3  Do you not know that all of us  who have been baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4  We were  buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as  Christ was raised from the dead by  the glory of the Father, we too might walk in  newness of life.   5  For  if we have been united with him in  a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.  6  We know that  our old self  was crucified with him in order that  the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  7  For  one who has died  has been set free from sin.  8  Now  if we hav...
