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!
