Monday....

Today I found myself going to work late, because I was on "quarters" till 0900 his morning, which Ryan kindly reminded me of last night. I had totally forgotten. The Air Force almost got a couple more hours of work out of me today. Anyway, Thomas and I got ready slowly and I made it to work close to 0900. I had to be at work today to recieve our newest addition to our office. She seems nice, and she keeps saying that Keesler is going to take some getting used to... (I am not really sure what that means yet) So after I finished driving her around sometime around lunch, I went back to work to work on lesson plans. That was a little boring, but everyday can't be loads of fun I guess. After PT (at which I walked due to the intense mouth pain I am still having), I came home to a delicious dinner that Ryan cooked. I was so hungry. I am SO blessed that he likes cooking more than me, cause he is so much better at it. I also went to Gulfport to the tax service where we had our taxes prepared to find out when we will be getting our money and they were closed. At least I got another Chick-Fil-A milkhake out of it. (And I did find out that they do have Strawberry, Katie.... just for you apparently.. yuck lol)
Tonight my bible reading consisted of 2 Cor. 3:1-6 (I actually read alot more than that, but this was the part that stuck out)

vs 3"Your very lives are a letter anyone can read just looking at you." MSG
I am being thoughtful about who is "reading my letter" these days. People at work, the lady at the tax place who I really wanted to yell at but couldn't cause they were closed, my family alot of whom do not know Christ...wow... anyone... just by looking at me. I wonder what God would think if he only saw the bad things we did. Oh how awful that would be!

Father,
Help me to be a light no matter where I am. Amen

a productive day

Well today turned out to be pretty productive. We went to church, and I sang in the choir, (with a choir robe on) which was a 1st for me. Ryan sounded great on his solo and so did the choir. After church we stoppped at chinese happiness to get me some egg drop soup. I really need to get a recipe for that stuff.
We had lunch and did some much needed cleaning and have yet again vowed to keep the house clean. We really try, but during the week it just gets away from us. Mostly because I am very lazy during the week, and because I have been doing a whole lot of nothing these last couple of days. So we will try again. Today's sermon was about keeping our eyes on the prize as we run the race of Christianity. I want to read some more about that in my message bible before I go to bed tonight. I should have been reading earlier, when we discovered all the TV shows you can watch for free on the internet, which is pretty cool, but time consuming. Which reminds me why we don't have cable.

A saturday of rest

Today we stayed home instead of going to my grandparent's as usual. Ryan and Zoe go to go to Child Pride day on base where there were games and activities. Zoe won LOTS of free stuff. Thomas and I stayed home, just hanging out. He is such a sweet kid when he is not in a toddler mood. Zoe and I just came from Wal-mart, cause she needed some sandals to wear to church instead of tennis shoes with her dress like she did last week. I will try tomorrow to take a picture of Zoe and Thomas before church. They are so cute when they get dressed up.

My mouth is mostly still sore, but the pain decreases everyday, which is good I guess. Tomorrow Ryan and I are supposed to be singing/playing at church service. I am so excited!!!!

Yummy milkshakes

Yesterday I had my wisdom teeth taken out. All is well. The procedure went very well and I don't remember a thing. I have been very blesed to have Ryan home with me these last two days, as he has been my milkshake fetcher. (only from chick-fil-a of course) Yummy!!! I have not had hardly any pain.. which is very good, or could be to large volume of drugs I have been given. Anyway, the last two days have been very calm and quiet and actually hae gone by really fast. I was really looking forward to the time off work, but it has gone very fast and now I only have Saturday and Sunday left. Thanks to all of you who have prayed for me, and are continuing to pray!

Thoughts

This morning I started out at the Keesler Prayer breakfast. It was very good. The speaker was a Colonel from AETC and he talked alot about how we should pray for each other no matter our religion, or country. He talked about praying for others no matter how much we may disagree with them or think what they are doing is wrong. He also said that we should pray for God to change our hearts before we pray for others. I thought that was really powerful. It is so true.
I talked to Cheri today, and she was excited to tell me that they are in a great bible study and we shared about praying for God to change ourselves before we pray to change others.
Tonight we attended another great band practice at what wil be our home church, Lemoyne Blvd Baptist Church in D'Iberville. Ryan and I are so excited to be involved with a group again. I am exstatic about having him in church.
Tommorrow I will be getting my wisdom teeth out, at 0900 am. I am so happy that I will be asleep for that..
Hope to post some pics soon!!!!

Blogging

I am so excited about today..... the first day of blog!!! Today we got the internet at home, after waiting about 5 1/2 months. My goal is to do this everyday, as a journal entry of thoughts, feelings and emotions. (My secret goal is to get my friend Katie used to checking this so when we go overseas, we will be able to communicate via the internet.) I will also probably be posting ome previous blogs, posted on myspace a while ago.
