So, I had great intentions of updating the blog earlier this week, but I'm not really sure what happened... life I guess! So, here's an update of things that have been going on since I last wrote...
The first week in November, I had the opportunity to go to an awesome conference at Perimeter Church in Atlanta with some other staff from the church. It was such a great time of learning and being encouraged and getting to know other staff members better. Paul Tripp was the speaker and he was PHENOMENAL! He really focused on the heart behind working with children, and just people in general. So convicting and encouraging. And we also got to spend some time learning how they do childrens' ministry at Perimeter which gave us lots of good ideas and inspiration. It was such a good time.
I really came back from the conference encouraged in my work at the church and also with a desire to really be able to pour my life and time into that ministry... so David and I are praying about what that might look like right now in our lives. There may be some changes coming for us, but right now we're just waiting on direction from God and really seeking where he's leading me and us.
The last couple of weeks have been busy for me with my work at the Women's Center and the church. I've been planning a Christmas party for the nursery staff and workers as well as getting our personal Christmas cards ready to send out, so it's been a busy couple of weeks. I can't believe it's already time for Thanksgiving and then we'll be moving right into the Christmas season... time really does seem to fly!
Life for David is pretty much same old, same old right now. Lots of school work keeps him busy on top of his job. He will have a couple of weeks off of school starting December 4th, so he's really looking forward to that. It will be nice to have him to myself on nights and weekends for a little while :) After this semester he has 2 1/2 more semesters, so he's on the down hill from here on out... we're hoping and praying the next year goes quickly for him as far as school's concerned. I know he will be so glad to be done with that.
Overall, we've been doing well lately... just so busy and trying to make a point of spending time together when we can fit it in. We both decided to take this coming Wednesday off of work so we're really looking forward to having a day off to catch up on sleep and just to hang out together!
My goal is to really be more diligent about posting, so I'll try to keep it up. We'll see how that goes :)
Love to all of you... thanks for reading!
