April Showers

It's April and Spring is here! I saw a red robin this morning perched outside my window. Trees are budding and it just feels springier! I thank God for all His many blessings and for His creation.

Join Me In Eternity!

It's almost Easter. It came really early this year. I wonder how that happens? I hope this Easter brings a renewed sense of the joy we have in Christ. Knowing that eternal life awaits those who trust in Him is somewhat incomprehensible in our human minds. Live forever in some place called heaven? Right. Yet we live each day as if we're always going to live here on earth. Isn't that strange? I can't begin to fathom what eternal life holds for me in heaven or what I will see. What I can be sure of is that I'll get there someday. But did you know that I don't really have to wait till then to have eternal life?

If you've heard of the Easter story but never thought it to be true, then take a moment and re-think it. Christ died on the cross for our sins and resurrected from the dead to give all who believe in Him as the Son of God, eternal life. Read it for yourselves in John 3:16. That eternal life Christ offers, starts right here on earth when you accept Christ as your Savior. You don't have to wait to get to heaven! This Easter rejoice that God made that possible through Jesus and join me in eternity!

12 Days in New Orleans

In New Orleans

I'm working in New Orleans for the All-Star event and it's much different than I thought. The food has been phenomenal but there's no very much in the way of "lite" menu choices. I can't even find Baked Lays! Bourbon St. isn't the place I'd bring my children and the mighty Mississippi is full of ships. It's definitely a party and eating town "fo show". I've been in prayer for a good event and for my co-workers during this stressful time and will continue praying. I miss my family and Russ and my friends very much but talk with most of them every day. Can't wait to get home.

Where Has the Time Gone?

I can't believe it's the end of January and I've been so busy that I haven't updated this blog with any good pics or happenings. Where has the time gone? To lots of places like home, Garrett and school, church and family but I thank my God that He is in control at all things at all times, no matter how busy I get. He is all in all and that's all I need to keep going. Time keeps going and so will I. Till the next time!

Update on Whitney Nelson

Whitney Nelson was born on Jan. 7th and weighed 8lbs. She is the baby with spinabifida that we were praying for. Well, she's here and is just beautiful. God is amazing. She's already had surgery for the lesion on her spine and we continue to pray for her and her family. To read more about her surgery and see what she looks like, please visit www.whitneynelson.blogspot.com

Happy New Year!!!

2008! Can you believe it? Time is flying by. Resolution? Yes. 1080i on my new tv! Woohoo! Gotcha! I'll be posting pictures soon from New Year's Eve and let you know about any resolution I actually intend to keep, since I'll be posting them and will have to once it's on the net. :-) I wish everyone a blessed new year and that God would create a deep desire your heart to get to know Him better and more intimately. Happy New Year!
