| | I just realized as I was looking at this page that I have not updated in a long while  ...oh well...I guess that is what happens when life is busy...some things get put on the back burner to allow for other important things to take place...
...so you may be asking what we have been up to as of late?...LIFE - this includes working really hard Monday through Friday and then resting and enjoying each others company on the weekends - Stephen and I are working opposite shifts for the time being, so I work during the day and get home around 5:30pm and Stephen goes in to work just after lunch and does not get home until 10:30pm or sometimes 11:00pm...so our weekends...we just hang out and have fun together! Yes...it is tough only being in the first year of our marriage and not being able to spend quality time together apart from the weekends...but I know that this will only be for a season and that God will provide for the next step in our journey together.
Anyway, I digress...in other news a couple weeks ago my hometown of Enterprise, Alabama endured an F-3 tornado...it really hit home when my dad called to let me know that I should not worry about them and that my mom was okay...at first I was a litle confused and then my dad continued to explain that the tornado that touched down there in the heart of Enterprise hit really hard around the high school, which my mom is a second grade teacher at the elementary school that is right next door to Enterprise High and my heart sunk to the floor. Even though my dad said she was okay I still was a little shook up...I mean not only is it my hometown, but my mom works right in the heart of where the tornado hit.
Then this got me thinking...there were eight young lives cut short by that tornado and each of those teenagers woke up thinking about what they were going to wear and how they were going to spend Spring Break and also about what report or test may have been been due that day, not about how this was going to be the last day of their lives. Then this got me to thinking, how we as Christians must live for each day not worrying about what tomorrow holds, but rather focusing on where God has us at this very moment in time. It is funny how easy it is to say that, but it is so much harder to just be content...especially when I, personally, am living a life where I barely get to see my husband and where my job can be very exasperating at times. But I must remember that God has me right where I am, because He is using me...how? I may not ever know the complete reasons, but I know that God is using me to impact people lives as they think about attending Bible College, since I am the first person they hear on the other line when they call the Admissions Office at SEBC.
All this to say, I am thankful for the life that God has given me and when things like tornadoes and other events shake our world, it makes me all the more grateful for His love and providence in our lives, every day. So, I guess that is it for this post...not much of an update on our life, but it is chocked (sp?) full of my thoughts...so what more could you want? 
...anyway...I am out
