Thanksgiving 2009

I have ate so much I'm miserable! Denise entirely outdone herself this year! Dude, I love that woman! But to be absolutely honest, this has been one of, if not THE BEST THANKSGIVINGS I have ever had! It's not about the food, although that was amazing...it wasn't even the movies we rented, even though I enjoyed each and every one...what it was about, was the fact that I got to spend the entire day with the two people I, without question, love the most...my two best friends...the two that I can always count on no matter what...the two people that I am most thankful for...my two girls, Denise and Tabitha! I love you dearly girls!

Thanksgiving Eve...

It's a quiet evening here on the 'coast. Such a stress-filled day at work, and I was so glad to get off and get home! It's been a cloudy, dreary day...kinda rainy...just thick. We've even had fog warnings the past few days. Tonight though, it's cooled off, probably should start a fire.

Denise has been a busy little bee all day. She's already got the Lemon Ice Box Pie cooked...the Mississippi Mud Cookies done...the cornbread for tomorrow's dressing already baked. Dang, she's been busy! I sure do love that woman! Can't wait to wade off into her cooking tomorrow...she ALWAYS fixes an amazing Thanksgiving Feast.

I'm just so glad to be off work tomorrow, my stress level has just about erupted here lately...mostly thanks to the my job. An extra day off will be amazing! Tab started her Thanksgiving break today..slept in...then homework. Even on her break, she's busy making sure she doesn't get behind on homework. I'm so very proud of her. Her and her Mom definitely make my world go around! Words can't express how much I love them and am thankful for them.

Things are hoppin' at H2O! It's been absolutely crazy this year! So many new students involved...new ministries launched...students becoming missional...God is doing a might work at TU!

I pray that each of you have an amazing Thanksgiving...spend some quality time with your family...I know I am!

Weekend Wrapup...

It was an amazing weekend here on the Northcoast. So much to say, with very little time to write it down! I've got tons of stuff screamin' through my head that I want to blog about, but just can't seem to find the time to sit down and sort them out. Please pray for me that I can slow down long enough to download.

Our weekend was amazing! Lots of activities with our H2O students seemed to dominate our time! Denise has been sick, so I would ask prayer for her! Met a very gifted student on Thursday night...sure hope that God has plans for him to be a part of H2O. Natural talent...gifted beyond description...Christ-Follower...yep, he's got my attention!

Had an extraordinary time of personal worship & reflection last night. I've been watching God do some pretty amazing work in the lives of many of our students, and last night I just spent some time recounting those moments...awestruck! Our students are growing deeper in their faith walk, and sometimes I don't think they even realize it! They're becoming stronger...bolder...even sometimes aggressive in their faith! So encouraged by their witness!

Praying for an amazing week! You have one too!
