Online dating services...

Ok I'm 33, soon to be 34, and still single. And I have to admit at times it can totally suck. Others not so much. But I know that I'm still single for a reason.  

As I said in my last blog, Bailey and I were baptized for the first time ever in April. I've come to realize that I'm nowhere near wife material right now. There's so much the Lord has shown me I need to work on first. I need to be married to the Lord right now. I need to focus on His word and His promises. 

I've recently signed back up for a dating service. Funny I know considering what I just typed above. But as always I believe everything is for a reason. On this particular site you're able to see who has checked out your profile. And this really hot guy checked me out. So I read his profile to see what was up with him. I was super impressed. Its very rare you find a guy on one of these things that speaks of their relationship with Christ. So I emailed him to tell him I was impressed. Of course he has to live in Texas...lol.

Just chattin with him online has sort of re-ignited my desire for the Lord. And given me hope that there are some men out there that thirst for the word of God. I'm glad I went back online. I've made what looks to be an awesome new friend in Texas. I'm looking forward to being able to talk to him about what God's doing in our lives.

Thank you God for new friends.

Til next time...be blessed.

Its been a while...

Man...I've been away from this for a long time now. I mean even Kelleys bloggin now. I got get back with it.

Ok so lets see..whats been goin on since my last blog. Oh man where do I begin...

So I'll go in order of importance I guess.

Bailey and I were baptized for the first time. My entire family came to church to support us. If only they would have opened their hearts to the message as well. 

We started our student ministry, RelevAte, in an awesome building designed by Michelle. And carpenter work done by the totally great Nick and Brad. They busted their tails working on the stage, walls, bar (yes a drink bar, but only soft drinks silly) and all the other stuff that I have no clue about.

Renaissance Road got our first permanent building. We took over the student building and acquired 2 more spaces for the childrens ministry. We'll have our first service there July 5th. God is and has been faithful to Renaissance Road. 

I was accepted to the Art Institute Online classes. This is the college I've always wanted to go to but since I was a young mother I was unable to go off to school. But I'd take Bailey anyday. 

My baby girl turned 13. OMG I have a teenager now. But man am I blessed. Even though I am her mom and may be a little biased...I have to say that she is one of the best kids I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Well mannered. Well behaved. Smart. Funny. Beautiful.  And more important loves Jesus. 

I found an old flame on Facebook after 12 years. We've started talking again..but just as friends. For now. I can't say what the Lord has in store there, but just taking it one day at a time.

These are just some of the big things that have happened since March. I'm sure there have been many more. But don't want to bore you to pieces right now. 

Til next time...be blessed.
