pullin weeds

-

So today after my 3 hrs in the office (part time hrs :))i went to target to get some groceries, ate lunch, and realized i was feeling a bit icky. Like something was wrong...a coworker had asked me earlier 'what was wrong with me cause your being weird susan'.... not sure what that is.... so i laid down a bit to relax, we had a fun big event last night for our students so i was tired....it was our annual Lip Sync that raises money for missions, either across the sea or in our backyard. Each 'team' or small group performs to a 3.5 min song or montage of songs for 1st place. It was an idea spun from a desire one of our girls three years ago. Do something fun and raise money!

So after laying down for a bit, i went to check the mail...and i saw that our yard had some weeds...so i stopped to pull them. As i was the breeze was blowing on me...cooling me off...and i realized there were birds chirping around me...like 4 or 5 of em. :) It was a nice moment with the creation of our GOD.

*hear comes my spiritual tie in...cause i am a student pastor.... :)

That is how today is...my life is having some weeds that are making me feel icky....whether its feeling tired for all the work i put in last night in preparation....whether its not feeling acknowledged for all the work i did and others taking the recognition... whether its worried about the changes that God has led me to and thru.... or whether its the adjustment to being married and doing ministry...(that is VERY different!) My reaction and my thought processes can become weeds if i don't stop to pull the root out quick! it will make my 'YARD' look poorly taken care of...and ugly...that is what sin does.

I am praying that God will show me the weeds and the roots that are there for me to grab hold of and YANK OUT!!! I am his daughter and i am pursuing HIM and HIS plan....He is thankful for me and proud of me and that is all that matters!

NO WEEDS! :)

Engagment pictures

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics

week not planned

-
This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
