These are some of the things going on right now:
*Briggs is playing soccer. He is adjusting to the newness of it. Still shy, but getting there!
*Aaron is coming up on midterms this week. Can't believe it is midterm time already!
*Aaron's hours at work finally got cut so he is at 30-35 hours rather than 40-50 hours.
*I am enjoying meeting new people at the apartments and through my SWI classes. I have enjoyed the classes as well.
*We are seriously missing Clemson football season! We are thankful to be able to watch the games on ESPN 360 online.
*I have two ironing jobs that are some what ongoing and I have a "job" checking in on an elderly lady and taking her to dr. appointments when needed.
This morning as we were walking towards our SS class, I heard the choir practicing Revelation Song and I was so excited that we would be singing it in service. I LOVE that song. We had a good lesson in SS on missions and then headed out to worship. As I entered, I guess maybe the anticipation of the singing started getting to me, and I became so excited. We sang a couple of songs and saw a missions video during offering. During the video I began to think about how blessed I am to be able to freely worship in such an awesome building every week. I was just overwhelmed and amazed at the goodness of God. I felt the Spirit this morning like I haven't in a long time - possibly ever. By the time we got to Revelation Song, I was trembling and seriously just about to come out of my skin (or have a fit as some would say)! Tears begin to fill my eyes, and it was all I could do to contain myself. The sermon was also good as we read about Stephen being stoned to death and still looking towards Jesus - keeping his focus on Him. Then Tim Tebow's brother prayed at the end of service. It was just such a wonderful day in the Lord to think about all of His blessings in my life, in our country. It was neat to see the family of such a high profile college QB in church and praising God. I honestly think I could have "gone Pentecostal" this morning!!! I just can't say enough about the awesomeness and wonder of God.
I also felt a real sense this morning that I should be praying about going on the Women's Guatemala Mission Trip with Highview in March 2010. My mind is already racing with all the "what ifs," and everything else that goes along with such a commitment. I don't know if I will even end up going, but I know that I am supposed to pray about it - and be willing to go if God truly calls. So I'm asking you to pray with me that God will clearly reveal His will to me, and that I wouldn't worry about all the details, but leave them up to Him.
I continue to say thanks to all of you who support us - either prayerfully or financially, & with calls and cards. It means so much to us.
I leave you with Revelation Song. Listen to the words - Praise our Heavenly Father with them.
