Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not onto your understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct your paths- Pro. 3:5-6

Overwhelmed.
I am not the type of person to shut down when life gets crazy. Actually, my co-workers make fun of me because I am the "make it happen" girl. But, for what ever reason I found myself sweeping my front walkway (outside) 52 times to avoid packing. This packing deal is completly overwhelming. If I weren't so cheap, I'd would leave it all there and just start over. But. I'm. Cheap. (and I love my stuff) :) I thank the Good Lord for my friends and family who have made it happen for me.

On the flip side, I can't wait to unpack all my belongings into our new house! We are going to be living at the Emerald Greens Resort just 4.3 miles from the beach, I love this place. And to make things 100x better- I am going to be working there! How great is my God! I went down to interview last Wednesday for a leasing agent position, and I got it! I start Monday, I know, it's amazing! I have no doubt that God has ordained every move made and every door opened. He is my Provider! I am in awe of Him. *And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose- Romans 8:28* And please know, THIS IS ALL HIM. I can not wait to see what our future holds. God is good.

Also, this week.... BRANDON GRADUATES! When I say I am so proud and competely thrilled for him, I can not express it enough! He is the best! For the past 5 years he has been full time in school, worked full time at the church (b/c no ministry is part time) and has been the best husband, friend, son, brother, pastor, encourager, soft ball player...(the list could go on and on). He makes me a better person, and I am so blessed to be a part of him. So Friday when MY husband walks across that stage, I will have the biggest smile on my face and yes, I will be the crazy lady taking 5000 pictures :)
Brandon- you rock my socks! I am impressed (almost daily) because of who you are.
*A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold- Proverbls 22:1*
I love you!

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.- Apostle Paul

I have so many great things happening in my life right now. I can not wait to share with you how great God has blessed Brandon and I. But, today my heart is hurting and yet thankful. Tomorrow I am going to attend a memorial service for one of the greatest men of God I have ever met. It's hard to even try to put into words for what Dr. Perry did for me. There was never a time I when I left his presence that I was not in encouraged, challenged, and in awe of him. If I could be one ounce of what who he was in his faith, mountains could be moved. Once, I called his home in the middle of the night, to ask for prayer,because one of our kids at the church had a terrible accident and the diagnosis was not good. Dr. Perry and his wife (Suzanne) were so kind to not only pray that night, but to pray continuously for him. I hardly knew him then, but what I did know was that he was the real deal. That has not changed. His legacy will remain not only for all the babies delivered, bodies healed, and hearts touched, but more importantly for who he was in Christ. I can only imagine his sweet face in the presence of our Savior. He will never again suffer. Praise God!
I challenge you today to think of what legacy you are leaving behind now, and what legacy you want to leave behind.

"Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you, Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm"
