Life
Decorating like a crazy woman
Heyyyy everybody, here we are and it’s already October! Time flies when you’re busy I suppose
So this week was ncie. I had a full week with Juile cleaning and so far still good. We are planning on meeting this week sometime to hear about all the details for me to take it over possibly, and eventually (ha). Sam and I went out to dinner on Monday night for being married for nine months! Yippity skippity, it definitely doesn’t feel that long! Then on Tues I ended up skipping Kidzone because I just wanted a night off from something! I’m not quite used to having something going on every night i guess! Wednesday was fun because I stayed late at MHY and then met Dena, Steph, their husbands, and Sam for dinner since Dena and Scott are moving to North Carolina. It was fun hanging out outside of work, and funny to see how our husbands all act! Sam and I also went to get some frames for our aparment before we went to the restaurant. We are finally at the decorating stage, so it’s fun getting all of our pictures up on shelves
Sam and I watched the movie Crash thiis week too, and it was very powerful. I wouldn’t say it was great just because it was so violent and sexual, but that was also the point they wanted to get across. My weekend at work was okay, apart from the usual huge amounts of stress from various things; but I know God is in control of everyone’s life - even if it seems impossible. That keeps me going! We slept past Sunday school yesterday, but church and Bible study were great. The sermon and Bible study were on parts of John 2 and 3. It reminded me of when I was soul searching in college with a pentacostal church, and asked my dad how to know I was baptised in the holy spirit. His answer had been, “if you believe in God and have faith in him, [and have repented for your sins] you are part of his elect, and therefore have the spirit in you.” Part of the sermon was about not knowing the moment you “get saved” because the moment you realized you are a Christian isn’t necessarily the moment God calls you. It takes us a while to realize it first, and I definitely agree. I knew who God was my entire life, but I didn’t ‘make it my own’ until junior high. I guess I don’t really know when God called me, but I do remember the moment it dawned on me that I was a Christian. Basically, the whole message was awesome.
We watched Cold Mountain yesterday too, and neither me or Sam thought itwas that great. He thought Jude should have stayed with the chic from Star Wars, and I was bummed that Nicole didn’t find someone else years later, haha. I guess Sam is more logical, and I’m a romantic! More next weeeeek ![]()
