We're in the house!

Just a quickie to let you know that we are moved into the new house. YEAH! I'll post pics as soon as I can. Life is crazy with us having moved, my work moving to a bigger location, my friend getting married in Michigan and me singing at her wedding and the plans that are coming up for the next couple of months. Will it ever slow down? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Not moving yet...

Here's a quick update: We found out the day of our walk through that the house is not ready and that earlier they had asked for an addendum, unbeknownced to us. So needless to say, we are not moving until April 11th. It's good in that it gives us more time to pack, but bad in that we have to change everything we had previously set up, including people to help us move.
Our realtor had done many things that we were not happy with and so after talking to his broker and laying out what took place, SHE is now our realtor. We are much relieved. Things are starting to get done, finally.
So that's what's happening so far.......

Knowing where your meant to be....

I started work last Tuesday and although the days are long and I come home tired, I know this is where I am supposed to be. There is such a peace. I am surrounded by Christians who desire to serve the Lord daily. Each morning we pray before our patients come in. We want to be full so we can pour into others. It's refreshing.

As many of you know I am NOT a morning person. I prayed that God would help me not to be lazy and get up so I have enough time to get ready and spend unhurried time with Him. As always, He is faithful and does just that. All week I have been able to spend time with the Lord, gaining strength for what is to come. And each day I have all that I need. I know this may sound juvenile considering I've been having my devotions since before I was 10 yrs old, but in the last 6 month or so, I had become lukewarm at times. I would read God's Word occasionally, but that was it. When I read it, nothing spoke to me. I was parched and yet not drinking of the Living Water even though it was right there before me, in my hands, OPEN. Then something happened. My heart changed. I knew I needed more. I wasn't content just looking at my salvation, I needed to drink it in. So I did, and it has been WONDERFUL! I have a renewed joy for life and instead of looking at what I lack, I see what I have. My mind is not overwhelmed with so much to do, but it is filled with the peace that whatever comes my way, I can face it because when I am weak I am STRONG. The peace of the Lord is transcending all my understanding and guiding my heart and mind.
It's beautiful......

more pics.....

Uncle Jason and his first Hicks nephew! Aren't they cute!


Here is our house. As you can see, it is still under construction. It should be finished and ready for us to move in on the 28th of this month! We are SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!


Today was my first day on the job. It went very well. I really like the people I work with and I think it'll be overall, just really good. It was only a half day today and they certainly kept me busy. I am so tired right now!?! I'll probably be tired and sore the next couple of weeks. Plus with moving on top of that.....Oh boy...it's crazy here. AH!

I'm an Aunt again....

Jason's sister Rebecca had a wonderful baby boy, Brayden, on Saturday, Feb. 16th at 9:42pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz and was 21 inches long. We were at the hospital when he was born so we got to see him when he was just minutes old. Both Brayden and Bec are doing well. They had moments of fear when Rebecca had a fever of 104*F, then Brayden's umbilical cord was torn and he had pooped in the womb. But the doctor was smart and they got Brayeden out, pumped his stomach and a specialist checked him out, and he was fine. We keep thanking God that Rebecca's assigned Dr. was not the one on call that night, as he seemed incompetent during the pregnancy. So, PTL, both Bec and Brayden are strong, safe and healthy!


When I upload the pics from our camera, I'll post them.

Me and changes

Oh FYI, I got a new haircut, much to my husbands dismay. I was tired of the long locks so I cut it off. Jason still doesn't like it and honestly, I don't know if I like it myself, but thanks goodness, it grows fast! I just had Jason take a pic so here it is.

So much happening.....

I am so sorry for not putting info on here earlier. Life is getting away from me.

My contract with N Touch Therapeutic Massage is done the end of this month. I was renting a room from them and things weren't going as well as we had hoped. Lots of miscommunication. I realized that what I really need right now is to be working FOR someone, not on my own. God worked it out that I will be working at a chiropractors office full time and will be helping them with a program that consists of an adjustment, massage, and exercises. My first day is Tuesday, March 4th! I am both excited and a little nervous! I see a lot of potential for growth there. I guess we'll see how it goes once I start.

Jason and I also have been looking to buy a house. He gets out of the military in January of 2009 and we want to stay around for a while, maybe 3-5 years or so. Definitely not long term, but we really love our church and we like the area, so we figure this is a good place to start. Jason has a few job leads here, which is encouraging. We've looked at probably 30 or more houses and have narrowed it down to a few, so it is becoming more of a reality......ahhhhhh!

There is a lot on our plate right now, so if you think of it, please pray for wisdom on our part. We really want to be in the center of God's will, but there are times when I get anxious and have a tendency to push forward before it is time. My good friend Charletta, very lovingly reminded me not to plan and push my life but let God do what He wants when He wants. Jason and I have really been praying for wisdom and discernment and we've heard a voice behind us saying turn to the left or the right, we just have to be careful to not run ahead. It is harder at times then I'd like to admit, but I'm trying. God's grace is good.

As things progress I will do my best to update the blog, but if your reading this then you know me and know the likelihood of that...LOL
