Relaxation....yeah right!!!

Okay, I mentioned before that lost of things good and bad have been happening in my life....I'll fill you in on just a few! Okay....in January I was the lay director for a girls high school Chrysalis...it was a LOT of work getting the team together but SO worth it in the end! God blessed me more than I thought possible...it is always so AWESOME to see God at work...but to actually be able to take part in it....I have no words! Many friendships were rekindled as well as new ones formed and I am thankful for each one! Also, I have begun working with the youth at church. God has placed a passion on my heart for the youth not only in my church but in our community and God has asked me to be available to Him and His ministries! This is something I have been struggling with for quite some time...being available...not that I didn't want to be but that I wasn't able to be. Just a few weeks ago God made this possible in a way that may seem less than ideal...but I praise Him in this time of need and struggle. I lost my job of 7 years and while it hurt I was also relieved...it was like a weight had been removed from my shoulders. I know that God's got a bigger better plan for me...I just have to be faithful in seeking Him and He will reveal it to me in His time! So...you'd think I would get a chance to relax and take it easy...but I've been staying home with my 2 year old and for the past week I've had my 4 year old niece!! Let's just say I have undoubtedly discovered that I do NOT have a future in childcare...lol...I am enjoying this time I get to spend with my kids and even my sisters kids...but I am looking forward to what God has planned for me!! I guess that's all for now but I'll catch you again...real soon!!

back in the swing of things

WOW...okay...so it's been 8 months since I've blogged...but I have decided to give it another try! I used to blog about scrapbooking and daily life...but I have not scrapped in quite the while and....well....life has been happening...things both good and bad....but thru it all I know I am blessed!! I have found a new hobby to fill my time and that is reading!! I honestly can't remember howmany books I read last year but I've set a goal of 80 books this year....I shouldn't have any problems reaching that goal....as I've already read 16 books and 2 novellas....I am currently reading "A Great and Terrible Beauty"...I've only started it so I haven't really gotten a feel for it yet! A few others i have read this year are: The Pretty Little Liars series, A Kiss in Time, The Tiger's Curse, The Iron Queen, Deadly Little Games and Night Star....and others! If you have any book suggestions or just wanna talk books let me know....you can usually find me on goodreads.com!

Peace Out!!
