Memorial Day Weekend

Hey all! Sorry it's been a few days. I am taking a break at work so I thought I'd update...
So here it was Friday, which I already posted about hanging out with my mom. Well Saturday, she and I had a blast. We got a ton of her "to-do's" out in the yard accomplished. Have no fear friends, I am a skilled hole-digger officially after that :) I love to garden with my mom, though. We have this fun little tradition-if you will- where we go across the street or the yard and take a few moments to bask in the beauty of our newly-accomplished feats. I must say that she and I make a great decorating and landscaping combo. "hunny, don't you think moving the berry bushes over there would be a great idea?" "yeah i do, mom, where would you like me to dig the holes?" "oh i suppose, right about here" "okay, no problem" and I dig away and she points me in the right direction and it's really fun for me to help her tiny little self out. she gets so excited when throughout the whole process and it's really quite endearing. So then we painted the bathroom this aquamarine blue which is so adorable - though my brother found it to be too girly - so my mom bought some more masculine towels to compromise. i still think it looks girly but i love it! then louis came over and we went to dinner at my fav. The Roadhouse, and chatted with my folks later in the evening. It was pretty fun just listening to my parents and watching louie's reactions to some of my dad's philosophies in life. Sunday, we went to church and just hung out at my place, had phenominal steaks with my family and enjoyed a pretty low-key day. Monday afternoon, Louis and I headed to St. Cloud where cleaning my apartment and moving the last things out resumed. He is such a great help and so much fun to be with.... :) anyways, we spent some time later in the evening at munsinger gardens and then the villa. where jill, our wonderful hostess fixed us lefsa and strawberry-orange juice blended drinks after we cleaned out and reorganized the freezer there. So much fun, sorry for the extremely long entry. but i hope you feel caught up in my life :) hope you're doing well. that's all for now my friends, God's abundant blessings to you.
I'll write again soon.
In Him,
kate

Campus Crusade Update

As the school year is up and running and staff and students are finding their grooves, we continue to wait on the Lord. We have found the last year of raising support to be the source of a lot of growth for us. God has been teaching us so much and helping us to understand that He is in control, which means we don’t have to be. And we can’t be. That has been a very challenging lesson to learn. That being said, we would like to let you know where we are at in raising support and what our situation is at the time. We are currently in a place of great difficulty in making consistent progress on a weekly and monthly basis. Due to the economy, among other factors, we are not raising support at a level with which is projecting a reasonable finish date. Our support coach has helped us to look at our progress objectively, and in the last several months, despite hundreds of phone calls every month, we are having a hard time connecting with people. Taking all of that into con...

You're not alone...

We received a little book of bedtime prayers to read to our little guy when we were pregnant, and one of the prayers is titled, "You're never, ever alone." It is a little cheesy and even rhymes, but it teaches that no matter what, no matter where, God is with you. It is so basic, but it's a reminder that I've needed a lot, and so have many of my friends. In the last several months, God has brought me conversations with other women, where God has used me to assure them that they are not alone in various circumstances. One friend was dealing with family and friends who kept telling her "how small" she was in her pregnancy, and some family members even told her to her face that they didn't think she could accomplish a natural childbirth as she desired (for those who did not get comments about being "so small," it often made me feel as though people thought I wasn't eating enough or doing pregnancy well, which this momma was feeling too)....

Carry Me

Today I got to carry you on a walk, in which you usually set a pretty fast pace without many rests along the way But today, you needed me you reached up with open arms and without any words I knew So, I picked you up and felt the beauty of your weight in my arms and the heat from our exercise emanating forth you snuggled your sweaty head nuzzled into my neck and whispered "mucky" I said "I love you too, mucky" And I carried you in silence in beauty with gratitude and you grounded me to this moment right now as your strong mama in whose arms you find so many things My son, in whose heart I see the joy of the Lord in whose eyes, I see my own in whose heart, I sense such an amazing knowing that I cannot articulate, because I don't fully understand it yet, myself Today, I helped you take a load off your feet and your growing legs and rest your tired body. You helped my heart soar and my soul know the peace of God in such an i...
