My Loves

My loves are many but my Babe and my babies are my 1st loves! I know, I know it's cliche but "My Family is 1st!" We took a walk last night after dinner and just being together was super!!!! Mia got a little carried away when she saw any furry animal that could be a potential threat to her territory, but she didn't get too vicious:) At 1 point, we were running and Mia darts in front of me and I find myself flat on my face. Other than, 2 scraped elbows, 2 scraped knees, a damaged ego and later on a very sore body, I'm OK! Definitely felt all of my "almost" 32 years of age.

I'm lovin lit candles all over my townhouse, my puppy who's full of loves, Fall weather, beautiful TN scenery, my new friends, new church and new life! Im lovin singing with my honey and being back 2gether in music ministry-this is IT God!

I am sad too bc I greatly miss my girls in Idaho:( No one can ever replace you Shel, Melissa.......I hate that we are so far apart and my heart aches. Come see me SOON!

You enlarged my territory and increased my influence so I pray that I'm worthy and capable of the calling you've placed on me. Thank you!

More unpacking awaits! More later..........

The past 2 months

Wow!!!! When I look back on the past two months, my head starts to spin! So much has happened that I have to really concentrate on it all and think, did I really just experience all of that? So, most of you know that we made the move to Cleveland, TN from Nampa, Idaho to accept the position with Phil Cross as his office managers, partners and fellow Crossing members. I love that we are home Mon-Fri doing office work and only on the road 2 weekends a month doing what we are passionate and called to do and that is sing for Jesus!!!! I have been with Crossing for 2 months now and it's been a great ride, but this past weekend all I could think of was, "Now we are complete because FINALLY Doran is here!" It was a good weekend of laughter, God's presence, great singing, good fellowship, stress, and some scenic driving to North and South Carolina. The stress was on Sunday morning as we were all setting up for the service. Dor and Phil were setting up sound while Becky and I set up the booth. We finished and walked in to the sanctuary and saw the looks on the guys' faces and immediately knew something was wrong! Here they had knocked over Phil's laptop and the screen busted and we had no access to our tracks. Dor thought fast on his feet and went to the pastor and asked for his computer screen and somehow they got it all hooked up and it worked! Wow!!! What a way to start Dor's 1st weekend with us. God really blessed in the rest of the morning and we made it through. We were pretty frazzled tho and poor Phil couldn't even remember the words to "Champion of Love"!!!! When we pulled in to the church the sign said,"Biscuits and Hot Dogs" and Phil says,"I've been called many things, but never before have I been called Biscuits and Hot Dogs!!!" Pretty funny stuff!!!! There had been a church event the day bfore or something......

I feel very blessed to be at this place in my life and although it literally made me grieve to leave our friends in Idaho, I feel at peace knowing that we are following His plan! I don't know all that the future holds, but I know my hand is firmly secure in His capable hands and He will not fail me.
