I am stressed. Some thoughts running through my head...

I want to move., but can we afford it?
Was the retreat fun?
WhyI am scared to live?
Will I do this for the rest of my life?
Why don't people call?
Will I ever be done with SAM testing?
Am I a good wife?
When should we have Kids?
What are people thinking about me?
Can I loose this weight?
Is God happy with me?
Do I call home too much?
Will I ever become a youth pastor?
Does Chad's parents really like me?


Too much on my mind

Sometimes I feel like crying..but not because I'm sad

Lately I have had urges to cry. Like when I see someone randomly helping another person, or when I think about all the blessings in my life. Or even when my family is all together. I think that I have underestimated a lot in my life. Like the importance of family and spending time with them. Its a depressing thought but you don't know how much longer you have with your family and friends. I don't want to waste another minute of life. I see everything that I still want to do , and I have barley started yet. Every day I have been blessed with God. My family, friends, Job, church, even just having another day. I pray that God can help me remember to live my life for him and to the fullest. I think it would be disappointing if I wasted the only life that God gave me. I want to stop worrying about material things and start loving what I have.

where did the summer go?

So school starts in one week. Which means back to my crazy life. But i don't mind i guess. I look forward to getting back to a regular routine. Working full time for the school, working part time for the church, and everything else in between. Some times i get really stressed but in all actuality i love to be busy! I love the season fall, and Christmas time and that is all coming up! I am going to be positive about my job this year, and understand that this is all apart of God's Plan. I can't get where i want to be unless i follow his foot steps.

Pray for me that i will stay positive and focused on everything that is to come, and that Chad and i still have plenty of time in our new marriage to just be together. :)

Xanga is not cool anymore...

Ok so here is the deal.

I hate to hand write my thoughts, so i thought it would be nice to type them out, since I am always on the computer... That's probably not a good thing.

Anyways, if anyone is reading this they probably don't need an update on my life. I got married, live in New Holland, and want to become a youth pastor...blah blah blah NOTHING NEW. But there is one thing that is new in my life, its my NEW relationship with God, starting TODAY. I would say that's pretty darn new! I want to be madly in love with Jesus, but I am SO not there yet. And in order for me to teach and someday lead youth to Christ I should be knowledgeable and true. I feel like the bible is something I ignored and looked past for many years, and really that book right there is the guide...the map to a great and God filled life! I just started reading the New Testament today! I read the first 8 chapters of matthew which are basically Jesus being born, and Jesus teaching his disciples. I found some great stuff already!

Matt. 4:7
Matt. 4:10
Matt 6:24
Matt. 6:27
Matt. 7:21-23

LOOK THEM UP!
