Catching Up.....

Well....here, I find myself again not blogging in over a month and WHEW....what a month it has been. I have felt like I've barely been keeping my head above water and one of our very wise Ministers (and my boss), Mark Matthews, encouraged

 me by saying that "floaties on each arm help his son, Joshua, stay above water."

As I think about it I should have started a new fashion trend! Although, there's another thought in my mind that it probably would not have caught on! They really aren't that attractive or flattering even on kids. 

Mom is continuing to recover well from Knee Replacement Surgery but is struggling with getting back into a normal routine....whatever NORMAL is! Is there "normal" for any of us these days- I'm constantly praying that life will SLOW down a little bit. I am thrilled, however, and looking forward to SLOWING down in July for 8 days. We have planned a Mother/Daughter trip to New York City! 

We are all 3 EXCITED with GLEE to say the least! 

In amongst all the craziness of the past month one thing I can say is that I have been able to keep up to date with all "my shows." 

**American Idol tonight was shocking to say the least....couldn't believe Adam was in the bottom two. He's definitely not my favorite but nevertheless surprising. 

**Dancing with the Stars was shocking last night as well, however, I'm selfishly excited to see Melissa Rycroft have another chance. I believe she can win this thing so I'm already anticipating to see her back and Dancing next week.

** The Biggest Loser....well, I just stand amazed of every single contestant conquering something that they struggle with. It's life-changing for them. 

**Celebrity Apprentice has been quite entertaining this season and admittedly has sucked me back in. I thought Dennis Rodman had "fits." I believe Melissa Rivers far surpassed them all this past Sunday including Joan as well. Wonder if she's really leaving?? 

Trust me- I'll tune in Sunday night to find out! 

My Sweet Jesus has been so extremely faithful to me over the past 5-6 weeks. I'm consistently overwhelmed with His undying love for me. He continues to show me and teach me so much that I need to learn about in this THING we call LIFE. Several months ago I encouraged all my friends to read a book by Francis Chan called "Crazy Love." I have continued to follow my life according to some of the principles laid out in that book. It forever changed my view of worship and my deepest desire to truly "LOVE" Jesus. Every morning as I'm getting ready I remind myself of this challenge I have written in my bathroom.

 I  encourage you to meditate on it. It has literally transformed my way of thinking. 

GOD:

-how does this word effect my every day?

-what does this word mean to me?

-where is my sense of awe in this word?
