EYE APT and a BUSY DAY

We now have insurance YEA!!! So we visited our lovey new eye doctor’s office to get our eyes checked out. Josh wanted to upgrade to contacts and I am getting new glasses.

OPENING MY EYES

Last week was an interesting week, work was not as crazy or it did not start out that way. I have really been trying to be patient and let God work in His time; I have prayed that my strength will come from Him, for understanding and peace for where I am currently. Thursday was so hard and frustrating I was so tried coming into work; I did not understand why this is how God had planned it and if this was the plan then why did it feel like it was not working? I have been reading Esther and how she went and was obedient not knowing why she was where she was, and I am reading/finished "Sun Stand Still" it talks about how when we get out in the water God leads us to the waves, he does not abandon us but hold our hand through the wave. And even though I feel like this is a wave that is way too big, God is so much bigger and all I can do is jump in obedience. Sunday was good; I cannot tell you much about the sermon L but God revealed a lot about how we expect prayers to be answered and how we miss how they really are answered. Since we have moved I have been able to serve the church in different ways, the ladies have been able to come to our house for women's nights, we have had couples dinners. My work schedule has allowed me to go on 2 spring breaks and china things that probably would not have been a possibility or a much more complicated one. I have been able to minister to my family in Columbus and the parson crew in Dayton; I am able to be a part of the women's min at Miamisburg where I am not the old one in the room. I was really humbled realizing that God has answered many of my prayers some that I forgot I had prayed. And I think I am starting to understand that God really does work for the good of his people "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (NIV)

ANDREW’S PARTY AND NIGHT ON THE TOWN WITH MY MOMMA IN LAW

Last night was Andrew’s Birthday Party so he had asked if they could have the party at our house, more space. He had 10 or so guys over Josh decided to stay home and hang out with the boys and I decided to spend time with my momma-in-law. We went and saw “HOP” very cute, then headed to O’ Charley’s for some soup, then the movie marathon continued with Tangled …. So cute it was funny since I had just recently gotten all my hair cut off. Happy Birthday Andrew!

APRIL FOOLS, DATE NIGHT AND A MOVIE

Dinner with my lovely husband! We went to Olive Garden for dinner YUM! After dinner we stopped by to drop off my ring to be cleaned and did a bit of grocery shopping then headed home for a good old western movie: American Outlaws. Great Night

We are headed into the final stretch of the semester. Baltimore was great! Our family has grown we had 2 of our students accept Christ during our trip (Sarah and Elizabeth), along with these students there were 23 students from Morgan State University that also came to Christ. God is so great!! Please keep these students in your prayers.  Upon our return the students have been actively seeking to serve and pray for the campus. 2-3 or more days a week they have been out on campus with a prayer tent. They have been able to pray for many of the students, staff and others on campus. It has been so encouraging to see the students want to reach their campus. Now that spring break is over many students are looking ahead to graduation, choosing a major and many other things. With these decisions please pray that God will reveal Himself and that they will be obedient to his call.  Please continue to pray for our students, that they will be lights on campus, bold in their faith and continue to seek God whole heartedly. Please pray for our student leaders and staff that they will be renewed daily by Christ. Thank you for your support.
