just another day

I had fun today piddling around St. Augustine, Fl with two of my friends. We took some fun pictures and just relaxed. It was an amazing time of “getting away”. Here are a few pictures I took today. I hope you enjoy them.

I have a confession to make…it may take me to dork status in some of your eyes but I don’t really care. I am a dork at heart anyway. I just got finished watching American Idol and I am elated that David Cook won! He is too hot! I know I sound like some groupie but had to get that off my chest. Back to being an adult….sigh…it sucks being an adult sometimes.

I have to admit that I have walked through some pretty tough times over the course of the last couple of years that had left me a little jaded. I, with out a doubt still loved the Lord, just I was being taught some really hard lessons of faith and trust in Him. I say that to give reasons for the joy I am feeling right now. I have to make an exclamation of the fact that there is a NEW LOVE and NEW PASSION for the Lord growing inside the depths of me that I am having a hard time containing. I am thirsting for new depths in my walk with the Lord. I want more and I want everyone to know it! I want to see miracle, signs, and wonders. I want to see the Lord move with all His might in any manner that He wants. He is all powerful and worthy to be praised!

My sister- in -law is now blogging…give her some blog love! Marcia Medders

This has been a weekend to remember.  I am exhausted.  I did yard work this weekend.  I mean YARD WORK!!  It took two days. We started yesterday after lunch yanking roots, clipping shrubbery, mowing down underbrush..you name it we did it.  I thought I was sore last night.  Tonight I write this blog with crimped hands.  We burned all of the yard trash from yesterday. Not only is my body tired, I have major allergy headaches kicking right now.  The payoff….the payoff is you can actually see my house from the road now.  The drive way is not cluttered with palmettos.  I love it….it looks so much better.  Now off to bed after two Tylenol PM..good sleep!

 These are some of my most recent photos that I have taken.  I just wanted to share them with you.  Some are from Inside Out (youth group at church)

I want to introduce to you someone very important to me.  It’s my brother Kelly.  He has just (as in today) started a blog.  Please give him a warm blog welcome in the next day or two.  www.kellymedders.wordpress.com 

Hey fellow bloggers!  I got my hair cut and colored yesterday.  Here are some scary pictures of it after a long hard day at work!  SCARY!  I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket!  What do you think?

I just finished my last night of Living Well. What a freaking journey! I have spent the last 3 years in a 12 step christian recovery program geared toward emotional healing.  I have learned so much about myself and others.  I have learned that its ok to have boundaries in self care and to actually have self care.  I went into the program in 2005 an emotional wreck.  I had no idea who I was in Christ or that I even had an identity outside of the things that I can do.  Learning service in the process has been astounding. I am looking forward to my next step.  I know that the Lord has a call on my life in aiding in the healing and restoration of the broken hearted, extending the same tools and grace that the Lord has extended to me through this process.  I have so many things rolling around in my head of how that looks.  I have such big dreams, and I want to jump in feet first.  However, I have learned that I am only called to do the next right thing.  For me, the next right thing is being obedient and waiting.  Waiting on the Lord to give me the next step but being in preparation searching hard after Him.  I know that I still have so much more to learn and mature.  The Lord has been gracious to me to extend this gift to me of Living Well.  Please pray for me when you think of me that I will have revelation.  The kind of revelation that leads to my next step.  I have ideas, just not a definite.
