randomness

I’m impatiently waiting to skype with josh, Claire & vasa. So I thought a random blog might help kill some time.

I really hate the devil. I hate it when I let him get in my mind and trip me up. I hate when he convinces me of things that aren’t true. I hate when I allow myself to think on things that aren’t pure, good & holy. Forgive me Lord. I know that isn’t what you desire for me.

Have I mentioned that I love vasa? I’ve tried to learn some Russian. But all I really need to learn is “I love you.” Poor kid. He’s going to be afraid of me.

Will hawk is one of my favorite speakers. He taught at TA Bible study last night. I could listen to him every day. I never get bored. I never zone out. I just listen and learn. Being around will and hearing him speak brings an amazing amount of peace to my soul. I am very glad for him (and his entire family!)

Is it bad that I drink a LITER of coffee every morning? I do. I use a liter water bottle to fill my pot…so there’s no denying that’s how much I drink. I’m not going to stop. Just wondering if its bad haha.

I wish golds max didn’t have mirrors on every wall of the group fitness room. I think my self-image would be better.

i love vasa.

I miss jays parents. His whole family really. His parents are hilarious. His mom makes me laugh. She’s not afraid to jank on me and I love it. I think she thinks I’m crazy b/c I have a strange diet. But she loves me none-the-less. She got me addicted to watching house, eating sweet potatoes, cantaloupe and tomato sandwiches.

His dad buys me tons of fruit when I come to visit. He’s the cutest man you’ll ever meet. I’m glad that’s what jay will be like when he gets older! Joe has the greatest smile, heart and joy for life. I admire him a lot.

Things I cannot do: whistle, braid hair, bat my eyes, play team sports (I get so nervous), enjoy a lock-in, find a pair of jeans that fit well, eat spinach leaves on a salad, see hummus and not eat it, ride a moped (just ask my friends), drink root beer, look at a needle when I’m giving blood, afford anything at the blue door boutique (even though I want it all), leave the house without making the bed, grow out my fingernails, put on eyeliner, math, ski, and last one for today…umm, parallel park.

i didnt proofread this at all. 

I love vasa.

Realizing more & more about this move...

It's been just over 4 months since we left GA. I can't even begin to tell you all that these 4 months have brought. But I'm going to try... Leaving Columbus was hard. Leaving family was the worst. I'll never forget that last Sunday with my family. I'll never forget weeping through church sitting next to my family thinking "I can't leave them." I'll never forget crying...let's be honest...weeping the entire time I drove that Sunday afternoon. I cried most of Monday as well. (I'm crying now just typing about it.)  I knew I loved my family but the thought of not seeing them at least once a week broke me hard.  The first several weeks I cried every Saturday evening. I don't know what it was about Saturdays but I fell apart. I missed my family. I wanted to be able to see them at church the next morning. I missed my church family, my running buddies, my neighbors...I missed "normal" life.  But as the weeks went on the Lo

Lil update on us, Village Church and more

I just told Jay how much I love it here. I recently posted a blog about what the Lord has done in my heart here. I'm still not over it. My heart & mind feel as fresh as the mountain air. CHEESY but so very true and my heart is full. God has blown us away with His faithfulness. He is everywhere. He amazes me daily, hourly. He has helped Gabe's heart go from "I'm never leaving Columbus." back in May to "I hope we never leave Angel Fire, ever." I feel ya kid. I feel ya. Here's a few stories I wish I could tell each of you over coffee... One Friday night, a month ago or so, we made coffee and put out some snacks in preparation for our weekly service. (Still being held at our house for three more weeks!) We had a rather small group that night I think there may have been 10 of us. We began like any other night - in worship. We began singing our last song and I kid you not it sounded like there were 200+ people singing with us. At first I thou

i'm no expert

i do not claim to know ANYTHING about parenting. i've only been one 2.5 years and still text/call/email my mom and sister-in-law about everything. i'm pushing 36 so i'm not just out of high school either. but i have spent the last 15 years (between being a Young Life leader and working for Teen Advisors) walking through life with high school students and i've picked up on some things. i've mentioned some of these things before so forgive me if i repeat myself. the most important thing i've learned about teenagers - no matter how nerdy, popular, emo, cool, punkish, quiet, obnoxious, annoying they are - is that they desire CONSISTENCY. yep, they simply want someone to be consistent in their life. i have very little wisdom to share with the TAs i spend my time with. but i show up. i ask questions. i encourage them. sometimes i call them out on their foolishness. but i am THERE. so put your phone down, put away the computer, turn off the TV and spend tim
