Pursue your dreams.

If you have been following this for awhile you may have read about my challenge in leading worship last summer. Long story short God really taught me to lean on HIM as my confidence and not myself. This lesson took me 24 years to learn (don't try that at home) 

So the newest adventure for me is going back to school. This last month has been full of challenges that would have crippled me if faced only one year ago (I'm not kidding, I would have been eaten alive)  yet now I can fearlessly pursue school, placement tests, going after scholarships, FAFSA... somethings so simple! I realized how awesome God's timing is. I have wanted to go back to school for 5 years to become a nurse but God knew that I wasn't ready. Now I am. I think sometimes we want to keep God in a "spiritual box" and only learn the lessons He teaches us as they relate to our "spiritual lives" but God wants us to be confident in Him in every aspect of life. Is there a dream you have that you have been afraid to achieve?  I recently heard a quote that I loved... "Fears are simply self imposed limitations."

Random...

I recently went to a birthday party and accidentally left my purse on top of the car. It survived!! but my carmex took a beating.

My family is infatuated with "fat lights" (the big Christmas lights) and when I finally went to put them up (on Christmas Eve) I dropped them and a bunch of them broke. Oops! 

I found out that I love love LOVE the Crunch wrap supreme with no tomatoes from Taco Bell <3

I made an appointment to take college placement tests this coming Friday... oh dear?

Chris and I are currently reading "7 Practices for Effective Ministry" I'll leave you with a quote that really got us thinking...

"Your ministry is perfectly designed to produce the results you are currently experiencing. If you are satisfied with those results, you don’t need this book. If not, it’s time for a change."
