I'M GETTING MARRIED

Its been a long time

It has been a really long time since I wrote anything on my blog. To be honest with you I actually forgot all about it. I haven't really been up to that much. Just working a lot more than I want to be. I am waiting on our computer to come back from PA so that I can get my pictures off my camera that way I can post some of those on here. Right now I am reading through by Joyce Meyer. "Battlefield of the Mind." I am not that far into yet because I am doing it with our cell group from church. Its a great book so far. Its a book that should be read by anyone that has gone through something major in their life. Everyone's mind is a battlefield. Of what I read this afternoon there was a few things that jumped out at me and they were:

"Keep on Keeping on"
"You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind"
"It's easy to quit; it takes faith to go through it"
"Don't receive condemnation when you have setbacks or bad days. Just get back up, dust yourself off and start again"
"God wants us to be encouraged, not discourage"

The day in Nashville

Ryan and I went to Nashville on May 30th, 2009 because I had purchased tickets to go and see Hillsong United. So we decided to make a day of it and we left around 11:00am (ET) and got to Nashville about 1:00 (CT). We decided that we were going to drive to Belmont University first so that we could see where the concert was that evening. So I decided to rely on GPS to take us there. She was successful in doing so. We finally found the school and the building that the concert was held in. This was the building that the concert was held it. It was called the Curb Event Center.

Then come to found out that the Curb Event Center was the same place that the second presidential debate was held in. I thought that it was pretty neat to know that.

After we finally found the University we decided to get something to eat and once again we relied on the GPS taking us and she did right to a quick McDonald's trip. So we got some breakfast/lunch. We then headed to the downtown Nashville. We did a lot of walking around that my feet started to hurt that I had to actually go back to the car and get my sneakers. I really wanted to do the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum but it was 20.00 a person to get in and we decided against spending that much money on it so we walked about in the Museum store and then headed back out into the hot sunny day. We could have gone to the Wax Museum but I decided that I didn't to go and get in the car and drive and find it so we decided not to. (I would like to go back to Nashville and do the Wax Museum) So we went into different shops and then saw some people on the streets. There were people sitting on the ground playing their guitars and hoping someone would give them some money. Then we had a couple of people that we saw that just wanted money. There were these two people that had a cardboard sign sitting in front of them and it said Parents were eaten by Pigeons need money for trip. There were two other people as well but I didn't read their sign so I am not sure what they had on it. So anyway Ryan decided that he wanted to take me on a Horse and Carriage ride around Nashville. So we did. It was nice and relaxing to just sit there and watch all the people walking and just enjoying each others company. I decided to take a picture of us on it. But of course you can't really see that we are on it, but its still a great picture of the two of us.

(okay so adding pictures as you write it is a pain so I will place another blog with some more pictures that I took)

Sad news

Our family is in the need of prayer. They came and took Ann out of our home today. We need all the prayer that we can get right now. Thanks

The Outside

We did a lot of work outside today around the house. Mom and I went to the greenhouse today to get some vegetable plants so that we can get our garden started. So then I got the weed eater and trimmed things around the house and dad and Dan planted a tree and two bushes. Then mom and dad did some things on the side of the house because I decided that I was done with the weed eater and was not happy that I was dirty so I went in and took a hot shower to get clean. Then helped mom by holding the trash bag open so that she can pick up the trash. She had gloves and I didn't want to get dirty again. LOL Then dad and I watch a couple of shows of Wildfire. Its a great TV show. Love it... and now its time to head off to bed.

Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. "Hebrews 13:5(NIV)

But I like the version better

Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with with you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,"we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get me? Hebrews 13:5-6 (The Message)
