Happy February

Well, we're still (somewhat) patiently waiting for this little baby to arrive. My wonderful sister in law is due the 15th, but we're hoping it'll be sooner. I have to say life has been pretty uneventful during the month of January. It was busy as ever but just the same old. We have been doing well with the a-team and will keep that going until june. we're approching our busy time of videos. I have a great group of teens...but half of them are seniors so it'll be more new training next year. I was working a lot more hours because Lorrie's had several out of town meetings/training sessions. Jabin is just growing up so much. We're working on our letters and learning to tie his shoes. He's a very intellegent boy and it's a slow process to learn all of this but it's learning for both Jabin and myself. We're doing tumblebugs (a jumping and flexibility class) at the YMCA, we have story time at the library and are usually out and about trying to find new activities. Last week I got the jogger out, put his coat on and give him a blanket and I jogged him to the park. It was a little chilly but so nice to have fresh air! The bad thing about working longer hours is that it cuts into my workout times....I haven't been getting up and swimming because I've been so tired and then i haven't been getting out of work until around 7pm so I wouldn't be getting home until 9-9:30...so I'm trying to get myself motivated reguardless of the time....hahaha. (I'm getting better)

I decided to wait a few more months on the buying a house process. We'll have to see what my plans are once school comes next year. What I am thinking about is persuing a transfer to Spain working with GVSU. So in the fall I will finish up at cc (Lord willing) and go to GVSU in the winter and then look at going to spain for the following school year. But all this is only in the thinking process. It's something I"m working towards but going to still take my time and see what God would have for my life in the next few months. So buying a house wouldn't be the greatest idea before I go to Spain.

The boys have been playing in their church league basketball team...we have such a great fan turnout even though we are the worst team. But we have fun! Right boys? We're the West Cannon Bapt. Church Heroes. Come out and watch the games. They're sat afternoons.

Well Pistons are playing, the boys are amazing! Having only lost 6 games this year. How great! They sure are fun to watch. I agree that the losses keep us humble and make us play harder, but boy it would be fun to beat the bulls record.

God is so good! You know no matter how many ways I fail, how many times I fall short, how selfish I am....God pours out His everloving kindness. How undeserving I am. It has been a trying month spiritually. So many small...minute issues all seem to add up and what do I do...? Try and control them myself. Why does it seem like sin nature gets the best of you when you want to persue God? I am just so thankful for my great friends and employer who encourage me to walk closely with the Lord! I know there are so many blessings God has given me that I didn't recognize as blessings. The greatest blessing this month has been an improved relationship with my dad. It's so nice to have communication with him!

Well good night friends! I'll try to be more faithful this month!
