First off, I love Sundays! Watching football all Sunday after church has become my new favorite thing. I am an Indianapolis Colts fan of course(I make my Dad proud). Even if my colts aren't playing, I enjoy a good game of NFL football. With that said, it's playoff time and that warms my heart! All the intense moments, come backs in the fourth quarter, and upsets are a great way to spend an afternoon! I don't remember ever being this into football. Besides my time out to go work out, I have been watching football all day.
Enough about that! Tomorrow I will be starting my new job, my dream job as I like to refer to it! I will be working at Fellowship Church here in K-town in Student Ministries as the Middle School Girls Director! What an amazing opportunity I have been given to do what I love, disciple teen age girls and encourage volunteers in the middle school ministry. The Lord is so good and faithful to provide another place where I can be used in this way. Tomorrow morning I will be hitting the ground running. I need to set up shop in the new office that has been freshly painted, and get to work on the girls retreat and on Sunday morning teaching on prayer.
Wayne is really excited for this new season for me and for us. I could not ask for a more supportive husband and best friend! He truly wants me to do whatever the Lord has placed in my heart to do, and for me, girls ministry is it! He will probably leave this week for another trip to Mexico for work. I would love for him to stay home longer b/c I have enjoyed having him home since before Christmas, but I think he may go crazy if he doesn't have something to do other than going into the office and working at a desk 5 days a week.
We had a great Christmas at home with my family. I hate that he didn't get to spend Christmas with his family in Memphis. I'm not sure how to balance the holidays with our families so spread out. We would be exhausted if we tried to see everyone, but we really do want to spend time with both sides. It's a harder adjustment than I thought it would be.
On a lighter note, I got a Kindle for CHristmas! I have been reading a lot more lately! I love that you can instantly download sample chapters of books you might want to buy. I've tossed around the idea of teaching on a Sunday morning with my Kindle edition of the NIV bible. Possibility of getting made fun of...... likely. I've been reading a book about the Holy Spirit by Francis Chan. It's been a good easy read with some good challenging thoughts. We'll see what book is next on my list.
I wanted to end this long and rambling entry, by telling you about my new found love of Jazzercise! Go ahead, point, laugh, and make fun all you want. I want to clear up some common misconceptions about jazzercise.
1. Leg warmers are not required
2. Most jazzercisers don't wear sweat bands...but some still carry on strong in that fashion statement.
3. Leotards have not made a come back in the jazz world.
I really do enjoy it! I have been going as much as I can to work out. I get to sing and work out at the same time. Maybe my show choir background has something to do with my new found workout. Anyways...I dare you to try it! That's all for now....Hopefully it won't be such a long time in between posts this time. We shall see!
