How's Married Life?

I'm married. Wow. I can't believe it's been so many months since I wrote my thoughts here, yet again it's been a pretty busy time in life.

I love being married!!! I'm learning a ton about myself in these first few months, and my appreciation for my wonderful husband grows every day - Louie's an awesome husband! I'm working hard at my dad's car place and Louie's working hard at G. Mtn. We're also in youth ministy at a small church, youth pastors of sorts. And we're about to (finally) send in our applications for CCC Staff, which is a relief and really exciting. We're both learning how to balance the daily, weekly and monthly things that come with being newly-weds and living with family and work, faith and fun time too. Those are daily lessons for me. It's been a great journey so far, and I can't wait to see God lead us!

I just wanted to at least put the basics out there, those of you who even read this probably know more than this, but for those of you who didn't, here it is :)

Miss you and hope all is well,

~ me

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

Must.Be.Nice.

Have you ever thought that when you see someone post on social media about how amazing things are going for them with work, kid(s), relationships, etc., with an edge of sarcasm in your thought/words? I unfortunately feel as though it's possible that my struggle with NOT thinking that from time-to-time has increased since becoming a mom. For instance, recently, a friend posted how their son, who is less than 2 months old, is in 9 month clothing... my son is 16 months old and is in 9 month clothing, too. Another friend whose child is slightly older than mine has quite the vocabulary and is very mobile; my son has Mama and Dada down, says "Ma" on occasion when he wants more of something and just this week has started saying things that sounds pretty close to "towel" and "bubble," respectively, and now we are working on making associations with what those words mean. And at 16 months, he is finally learning to crawl forward and can cruise the furniture

Dear Me - About Christmas Day (2022)

Dear Me, What if letting Christmas Day unfold as it wills, be open and cozy and warm, but no frills is exactly how this day is just meant to be? What if unstructured play time  is the best plan of all? Not stressfully packing the car to the brim, but being wide open to following whims? Rather than dodging big snow drifts and weaving through cars, crossing of "all that you needed to bring,"  both to near and to far, parenting through crying or even some screams... What if today gets to be peaceful and quiet, with time to enjoy playing, relaxing, freedom, new toys? Reading new books, trying out clothes, games and things; room to explore and dream up new dreams. Maybe the best thing to do is have nowhere to be, except here with ourselves and each other and of course, baby Je(sus). I think that the Holiest Spirit would say:  "don't worry about the details,  today's already perfectly made." Merry Christmas, indeed.
