I might change my mind in next couple days if I can get them to work but right now that statement is very true in my mind! I am hoping that we have fixed them but have to wait to see, should know by tomorrow night~
I don't really know who I informing of any of this stuff though because I really don't think anyone reads this, and I don't blame them! If anyone is reading these boring blogs please let me know!

Gym Membership
I am officially joining a gym today. It is definitely long overdue and I am excited about it(for now atleast). I am going to try and go everyday at lunch. I feel bad for my coworkers after lunch time but that is really the only time I have to do it without taking any time away from my family. I hope this gives me more energy and helps me relieve stress.
Freedom Church is here, and I am so pumped about Sunday! I can't wait! Everyone needs to come check us out, it will change the way you think about church! Chek us out at Freedomlive.net.

Faith is not decrease in risk...
I think sometimes, we as Christians, assume that if we have "faith" then the risk of something bad happening decreases. I have come to realize that Faith is very risky, but in turn is worth the risk. No matter what the outcome, there are so many blessings that come with taking risks. Justin and I are walking by faith is certain areas of our life and although sometimes it is very scary, I wouldn't trade these moments for anything. I don't really know if that makes sense to anyone else but I needed to type that out. I am learning that no matter what things appear to be to me, that God sees the whole picture and has a perfect and divine plan for everything in my life. If I could only learn to not try and fix things myself....

We have heat!
Wouldn't you know that on the coldest weekend of the year in Atlanta area one of our furnaces decided to go on strike! Luckily we have two and the other one continued to work but the main level of our house was unbelievably cold! Walking downstairs about half way down you could definitely feel a huge drop in temp! The great news is that the furnace fixing guy came today and fixed it for us, we now have heat on both levels of the house!!!

Wonderful Day!
Today has been a GREAT day thus far! I was able to hang out with my child this morning and not have to rush off to work! We had some appointments this morning that couldn't have gone any better. PRAISE BE TO GOD! The only not so happy thing is Justin has to take the baby to the doctor to get his shots:( Poor thing~ I am anxious though to find out how much he actually weighs according to the "official" scale! He has to be like 50 pounds! Well maybe more like 15 but he is definitely getting heavy....

Random thoughts
This is my first time ever 'blogging" so y'all bear with me! I really don't think I have anything all that interesting to say but I figured I could use it to clear my head if nothing else.
God is teaching me alot these days and I am extremely grateful. I have been told that life gets busier and busier the older you get, but I hope it doesn't get any busier than it already is! There is a lot going on, but it is all awesome stuff. I am so privileged to be a wife, mom, and Children's Director @ Freedom Church in Acworth, Ga. Check us out at www.freedomlive.net. I also have a great new job that allows me to have some flexibility to take care of family and personal obligations, and for that job I am extremely grateful to God for. Okay so back to what God is teaching me these days! I know it sounds simple, but I am learning to pray more specifically. By that I mean that I have realized that I sometimes just go thru the motions of prayer and not go deeper. I recently started praying more specifically and praying God's will but also voicing my desires and concerns. I used to feel like a selfish ungrateful person for doing that so I stopped. My prayers had become unemotional and almost scripted. Has anyone else ever been there? Maybe I am just strange! THere has been a significant difference since I started praying more specifically and also revealing my inner most thoughts and feelings. I know God knows what you want or desire, but I still think He wants us to come to Him and talk to HIm about it.
Something else God is showing me is that in order to grow as a believer and also as a leader, wife, mom, etc... I have to be willing to unlearn fears and know that my God is a God of miracles. I am reading an amazing book right now called "In A Pit With A Lion On A SNowy Day". It is one of the best books I have ever read. It definitely challenges you, or at least it should, to be a lion chaser instead of a scaredy cat. More on this to come...
