...just a little while

ok so it's hard for me to post often because i never know what to say, but since it's been like a month or so some things have happened. we are moving on the 29th, we close on the 19th. i thought i would be more excited, but i think it's cause i don't let my self think about it or it will take forever to get here and i will miss out on all the fun of christmas. i am always in a good mood during the holiday season, i love the cartoons, and decorations and funny movies. but i really try to remember why were are celebrating this special day, if this day never happened my life would be so different then it is now. God has truly blessed my life this year, i have gone through a lot of hard things in the past, but this year has been a little less crazy. i just feel like when things are o.k. or even good that's when my relationship with God becomes the same old thing or even less then that. i'm going to write this down so i will hold myself accountable this following year, i will go on a mission trip in 2008. i feel strongly that since my less then perfect trip to trindad that God has always let me know that it was not the end of my missionary career. i just let life get in the way and too many excuses. most people think after that mission trip that i would be too scared to go on another one, but God did bring me home safely and i know He is in charge of my life so i don't worry. well about that, i do worry about other things in my life.
my friends stephanie and mike had their baby delia on nov. 28th and she is a little cutie. i haven't gotten to see her in person but the pictures are beautiful. she had a scary start but she is out of children's hospital and home with her family now! praise God! also, kay had her surgery to get her breast removed and i am amazed at the faith of that family - they love God. i know that she will make it thru all the treatments and the cancer will not come back, but i know the road to getting to that point will be long and hard. kay is one of the strongest and most reliant on God women i know. God is using her and this experience for part of his plan, we will see what that purpose is one day.
o.k. so the last thing is i feel like i haven't hung out with anyone if forever. chris has been so sick for almost two weeks and he played a reunion show last saturday with his old band capulet and rockwell (which was freakin' awesome) but he lost his voice and felt worse then ever on sunday. the sacrifices great musicians make! he is on antibotics now and starting to feel better, but he needs to get rid of the cough. on top of that i have a cold and it's like my nose is on continious drip which is also making one of my eyes water. so it's safe to say i'm over the sickness, i want to have fun with my friends and enjoy the season, and get out of my apartment. i think after this week we should be better and things will go back to normal.
in closing i would like to pray for all the people that are going through some really big trials in their life - God will make us all stronger. Deena sometimes you just have to let the unknown happen and one day you'll look back and say oh that was what that time was for. Denira you have been awesome being so strong for everyone around you, even when you're going through your own stuff. just doing whatever anyone needs whenever. Deena you have been doing a lot too. I love my friends and that i am blessed to have friends that understand what being a christian means and trying to live that everyday. and also that i have a husband that does the same thing and is encouraging and loving to me. thanks to everyone!
