Close to Christmas

My heart continues to ache for many who have lost loved one recently. The tragic accident in Poquoson where a 14 year old young man was killed. Now the preacher from The Village Church in Texas (35 years old) with a mass in his brain. Still waiting to find out if the tumor was cancerous and how he will be treated. I must say that watching he and his wife walk through this trail is life changing. They are truly honoring HIM in ALL! Both he and his wife have blogs/twitters and indicate their hope that the outcome (whatever that may be) will honor God. What peace. I continue to pray without ceasing.

Football Saturday!

What a day for football....my nephew's team (Poquoson) lost in the final seconds of the game... However, Tech on BIG against UVA! That helps a ton!

I just signed up to review books for NavPress. As soon as I start reading, I'll start posting! Be on the look out for what I have to say.....

I'm currently reading several books...I like it that way! I'm reading Chasing the Goose - which is confirming my passion for helping children that lose their parent(s) when they're young.

God is amazing each and every day!

Saturday with Brooke

Today is a big day in our house. Daddy and Kristina (after some morning confusion) are attending the Tech game! That leaves Brooke and I alone for the day! We are preparing to go to the library (MY GIRLS and I LOVE the library!). We're coming home afterward to bake some brownies and pumpkin bread! Tomorrow's a big day - Church, then to a middle school meeting in Colonial Heights, VA. I can't wait! I'm going to be a small group leader for WOW (women's ministry). Nothing makes me feel better then spurring young ladies on in their walk with Jesus!

Discipline

I can't remember where I read this (or the exact time, but know it was recently), but it was addressing discipline in life. I can't even remember WHAT exactly it was referring TO, but I remember thinking, WOW...I don't have every many disciplines in place! I need to work on that! Soooooo today I am creating that commitment - let's call it a New Year's Resolution (a tad early). I am going to do the following (and I'm putting it in writing to make me more accountable):

1. Blog a minimum of three times a week.
2. Study the Word (at least 15 minutes) EVERY day - no excuses!
3. Begin exercising again (on the treadmill in the garage). Not for beauty and vanity (for once), but for my health. No worries - YET - but don't want to start when there ARE!

I think that's it for now. Stay tuned....
