Thoughts

Not much to report,

again,

around here.

Blake's internship interviews are going well

and will continue for the next week or so.

We should know something in the next couple of weeks

as to where he will be interning this summer.

We are confident that the Lord is in control of our future

and everything will work out just the way it is supposed too

but it is still nerve racking to just ......

wait!

He is studying his tiny hinny off for all of his test

this week and next.

(if you are reading this right now say a BIG prayer

for his 3 o'clock thermo test today!)

I am so proud of him for the time and effort

he has put in thus far.

We knew this was not going to be easy

but I don't think either one of us fathomed it

being as difficult as it has shown to be!

Our church is doing a series right now

that has really hit close to home for Blake and I.

It is called Christian Atheist- - -

meaning you say you are a christian but you do not live like one.

Last week was week 2 of the series

and focused on worry.

The bible states very simply

that those who worry

do not stand firm with the Lord.

That could not be further from the truth for Blake and I,

so we have spent this week really focusing on leaning on the Lord

and giving all of our troubles to him

instead of worrying about them ourselves!

This series could not have come at a better time for us!

We are so thankful to have found this church,

and are so blessed by all that we are learning from it.

(If you ever happen to find yourself in Lubbock, Texas

you MUST go to Experience Life.

The pastor, Chris Galanos,

is a young (28),

wonderful pastor with an undying love for the Lord that is contagious!)

This weekend will mark my first ever

Big XII football experience.

We are not planning to attend the game

as Tech is VERY proud of their team;

ie) tickets are $150 a piece!!!!!!

Sorry folks, but I don't care about Big XII or Tech to pay that

(although it would be nice to root for a winning team for a change!)

We will definitely attend the tailgate for multiple reasons.

1. the weather is too pretty not to enjoy being outside

(it's been low 50's only reaching high 70's)

2. I want to see what Big XII tailgating is all about

(even though nothing on earth is better than the Grove)

3. Blake is on the external affairs committee for SPE

which means he helps with the set up and break down of the tailgate

4. he needs a study break

Well folks,

that's about all that's going on around here.

We are busier than ever these days

but not busy doing anything fun or exciting

unfortunately.

Oh well,

3 years

and we will look back and be SO thankful for this journey.

Come and see us!
