what to do what to do

There have been a lot of changes for my family in the past six months or so.  We have moved to a completely different state.  My husband is no longer the pastor, he is the youth pastor (probably the easiest of the change.  We love youth pastoring and we love the kids we get the privilege to youth pastor). Now, both of the boys are now in school.

The past six years my life has revolved around these two little boys.  I fed them, changed them, bathed them, and played with them.  I don't do much that they are involved in.  They are most of the time with us. We firmly believe that they are our kids and it is our job to raise them.  I have enjoyed them and have enjoyed my time with them.

Now, I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should continue to be a stay-at-home-mom, if I should go to work part-time, if I should go to work-full time, or if I should go back to school and finish my degree. I really don't know what to do.  I am praying about this and seeking God's Guidance on this.  I just feel so lost. I feel like I have no job skills any more because I have been out of the workforce for so long.  I just don't know!

So could you please be in prayer for me.  I need God to guide me on this decision.

I am the Queen

I am the queen of starting a weight loss program and never finishing it or completing it.  I have started P90X , Prism, and Wii fit (if that counts) and I have only lasted on all of them for a couple of months.  I really don't know what my deal.  Well, I am not sure if that is true or not.


One thing, I know for sure, is that I like self control and Discipline.  I wrote a blog post about it a while back here.


Second thing, I think, is that I haven't changed my mindset.  I still love all those bad foods.  I don't enjoy planning out meals and thinking about what I am putting into my body.  I am a quick fix type of girl.  Those are not usually healthy good for you foods.  


I am going to try to plan out our meals for the week in just a moment.  Well, after I get done writing this blog post.  


I hate to announce it, but we are back at it again trying to lose weight.  I really want to be successful and change out lives. I want to be SKINNY! Well, what I deem skinny for me.  I want to shop in regular stores.  So I hope and pray this time we stick with it and we preserver through it.

First Day of School

I had to do the typical first day of school picture of the boys.  They both went this year. Micah is in Pre-K and Levi is in Kindergarden.  I am not sure where time has went but they are both now in school.

I am so proud of them!  My two little men!

Phoenix 2011

We took our youth group on a trip to Phoenix, AZ for Fine Arts Festival/General Council of the Assemblies of God.  We had two kids preforming, one was singing, and the other did a short sermon.
There was about 10 of us total. The trip was so much fun.  

It took us 17 hours to get there.  We made it a two day trip.  Once we got over into New Mexico and Arizona, some of the scenery was beautiful!

Once we crossed over the New Mexico state line, traffic can to a stand still because of a truck that caught on fire.  We were stuck there for over an hour.  We were all standing in front of the van singing.  It was so much fun.  We made the best of a crazy situation.

Once we got there we had services to go to. This is a picture of the last night service. It was fabulous.  It was a combines service of Fine Arts and General Council. They also award the fine arts participants who one in their categories.

We had fun packed week.  Since we were close, we decided to go the Grand Canyon.  It was a chance of a life time.  I have never seen anything so magnificent and gorgeous.  All of these pictures are phone pictures.  I forgot my camera.  I hope to take the boys back one day.

We made the trip back in one day!  It was tough and long trip.  We were glad to get home once we got there.
