Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

J. D. & I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for a wonderful year. We are looking forward to 2009 and the growth it will bring. We can be sure that there will be joy and sorrow and through it all our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will see us through. Cleave to Him above all earthly things, He is far more valuable than silver or gold. Lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven and be thankful. Thank God for His unspeakable gift!

Happy Anniversary!

Yay! Today is our wedding anniversary. The man of my dreams, my husband, my friend, my confidante. I am so thankful to Almighty God that He predestined our marriage. Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart. My love for you grows deeper every day.

Introducing... Hubby of the Year!

Introducing, in the left corner whom some would call “Louse Man” and in the right corner “Hubby of the Year”. Ladies and gentlemen, lads and lassies, today I came home from work to a most wonderful and inviting aroma. What is that smell? Has someone been baking? It smells like cinnamon bread. My husband whom I will from here on refer to as HY (Hubby of the Year) met me at the door with a big smile. “Have you been baking?”, I asked incredulously. Still smiling, I say, “You’ve got me curious” as I follow him to the kitchen. There, on the stove was a most beautiful sight. Pineapple chicken, kielbasa in diced tomatoes and basil, cinnamon green beans, potatoes a la Dan (my dear friend Cindy’s man of the year) and ….. (drum roll please)….. fresh baked bread. Needless to say this was a welcome home I will always remember. Not only did it have a great presentation, but was absolutely delicious as well. And that, my friends, is only one of the many reasons my husband is way in the lead for Hubby of the Year!

Wow, my first blog post. This is a little intimidating I must admit. To begin with I would like to share with you that 1) I am not a writer; 2) More than likely my posts will be few and far between; 3) I am honored that you are reading this.

Believe me I have really struggled at times with being a pastor’s wife. Me? You must be kidding! However, who am I to question God? My creator, sustainer, Savior, provider, the Holy of Holies! After all, where He places us He graces us. I know without a doubt that Almighty God gave me a deep love for this man of God. I had never met anyone who loved and served God with such passion and devotion. I desire to have this love and heart of servitude (which only God can give to us). I am continually learning and soaking up God’s Word. I am learning to love God through loving others whom in days of old I would have considered unlovable.

So what insight may I have to offer you? Only that I am being renewed day by day and will continue to be until the day of Christ Jesus my Lord. Hallelujah and Amen!

Me and My Man!

Yeah baby!
