That's about it for now...I'll check back in later...this may be a two blog day!

Week 17 and a Day

Today marks 17 weeks and one day since Rebecca and I found out that we were having a baby. It's quite exciting, i tell ya! We were with my family and they were picking out names and whatnot (some were good...others were well...), talking about what they were going to buy and how excited they all are. No one gets sad with that stuff I tell ya. It was cool seeing my dad all smiles as he thought about being a grandfather. That was really stellar! Dad about to be a grandad. Awesome.

This week, I'm trying to be more in sync with what God wants to do in my life and in the life of my group. It is so easy to fall into the traps of what I want and fall away from God's plans. I don't think i've gotten that far but i have been resting on my butt and leaving too many things to my own strength and I don't like that feeling. It's like a calm before a storm and I want to be holding on to Jesus when it falls, not my own talents and abilities, cause that'll fall off soon enough.

Each day is a gift...use it wisely...

The day that was...

By the time you look at the day, it's over. Some days you think, "I've accomplished so much!" Others...not the same feeling. Today is fairly in between. I feel really tired though so maybe that's why. Getting ready for missions trips, events, budgets...oh man, it never ends! It's not stressful, just taxing on a guy, i guess.

But I DID make a sandwich. THAT is productive, if you ask me!

More to come...
