It&#8217;s been a few days since I&#8217;ve even thought about typing in an entry. But for those of you who are feverishly hungry for the fulfillment that comes with reading my blog&#8230; I&#8217;m writing for you. Hey, <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\">where&#8217;d<\/span> everyone go? (crickets.)<\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway&#8230; I&#8217;m writing none the less. Not a whole lot has changed recently. I am enjoying the married life. Matt and I are learning more and more of what it means to share everything and function as a unit. That&#8217;s fun. It&#8217;s challenging at times, but Matt and I really do work well (surprise, surprise), so it&#8217;s fun too.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight is an Associational Meeting at our church, so that means Matt and I get to pretend to be competent leaders of the youth group. [J\/k&#8230; Matt is competent.] But anyway, I get to sing in the mass choir made up of 6 or so churches that will be &#8220;entertaining&#8221; the evening session of the meeting tonight. And Matt and I get to suffer through the early session as &#8220;church representatives&#8221;. I honestly look forward to it. I know, that officially classifies me as a loser AGAIN. But I am actually excited to spend the evening with a bunch of church leaders from some 10 or so area churches. I don&#8217;t really know why, but it just makes me feel&#8230; involved&#8230; and a part of something so much bigger than our little church. Funny how God has excited my heart about a silly little meeting. But none the less&#8230; excited I am.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t heard my complaining recently (I now, that&#8217;s no one), but yes, it is true, I am still sick. Yes, I&#8217;ve been sick for about 3 weeks and am still sick. It seems to be a constant lifestyle for me lately. But hey&#8230; there ya go.<br \/>But in light of being sick, I have relearned the value of having two functioning nostrils, <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\">pukeless<\/span> feeling tendencies, and sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I am a part of a Daniel study that the ladies at our church are going through and that is fun. It&#8217;s neat to be involved in a women&#8217;s group. And it&#8217;s neat to get to meet the ladies outside of the typical 5 minutes of &#8220;meet and greet&#8221; during the service.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah&#8230; that&#8217;s me for now&#8230; sick, enjoying the feel of a small church, and thrilling in the little things that God is allowing me to be a part of. And for the record&#8230; while I am still jobless, I am learning daily to appreciate the opportunities God has given me while I&#8217;ve been unemployed. (For example, I&#8217;ve gotten to help out a friend, annoy another friend -love ya, Robin!-, meet with an old youth during &#8220;working hours&#8221;, eat lunch with Matt, and I&#8217;ll get to go support Matt at his first funeral. ) I am focusing more and more on the value of God&#8217;s circumstances and opportunities in my life right now. And even in loss of what I thought I needed, I am finding God&#8217;s blessing. Thanks be to God for teaching me to rely more fully on what He declares to be my needs.   I love You, Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there, friends. It&#8217;s been a few days since I&#8217;ve even thought about typing in an entry.
