Lonely

So I dropped Adam off at the church Monday morning at 5 am to go on the 8th grade field trip to Washington, DC. He's only gone till Thursday, but that is too long for me! This is really our first time apart for this long and I didn't know how hard this was going to be. I guess this really shows you how much you really love someone when they're gone (man, I sure do love Adam a ton)! And I'm a little scardy cat...this is my first time staying in our apartment alone, and I don't want to get used to it! Anyway, I am glad Adam got this opportunity because he is really enjoying it. But, Thursday could not get here fast enough.

Before Adam left, we carved our first pumpkin together, Al. I'll have to admit he looks pretty pitiful, but it was tons of fun carving it! Hopefully we'll get better and better each year. Well, keep me in your prayers tonight and tomorrow night cause it will be me, myself, and I!

Go Big or Go Home

Yes, tonight at 7:30, I will be getting all my hair chopped off! (Hence the title..."go big or go home"). I've had enough of just going to get trims and then wishing I had gotten it shorter after I left; so tonight is the night I go all out! I am still trying to raise my confidence level a little, but there's no turning back! I've had long hair most of my life, so going short is a big step for me. I guess we'll see how it goes! Wish me luck!

Put Everything on the Table!

So, this past Sunday's message from Pastor Furtick was absolutely amazing! I don't have time to get into the details now (you can go to elevationchurch.org to listen to it), but it was great! He basically talked about how God is such a merciful God and we should be grateful for that. He also said that giving back to Him is an offering of worship, which is very true. Basically, everything you have and everything you are belongs to God. He is the owner and you are the manager. Pastor Steven gave this example of putting everything you have on the table and offering it up to God as His. So, when Adam and I got home from church, I felt very convicted to put everything we had on the table and surrendering everything to Him. Now, I am a visual person, so what did I do? I started putting everything we had on our dinning room table! No, I didn't put the tv on it or furniture; for the big stuff I just got the paperwork out for them and put the paper on the table. But all the little stuff went on the table (money, clothes, possessions, etc.) Adam thought I was nuts while he was watching me do this, but when I was done, Adam and I sat at the table and Adam prayed offering everything up to the Lord (ourselves included). You might think I'm a little crazy for doing this, but now I have a true sense that everything we have belongs to Him...
