Where in the world have you been???

It has been such a long time since I have been on to update my blog. I would like to start by apologizing that I have not taken the time to post. It has been a CRAZY few months and I feel I am finally at a point in my life where I am able to get on and share my experiences and my thoughts with you.

First of all I started a new job which has given my husband and I more then we could ask for. We are able to have both of us on my insurance and it gives my husband the freedom to finish school and work part-time for right now. We are so blessed to be given this opportunity. Second I have been working on my relationship with the Lord and also working on making a set routine in my life so I have more free time and more energy to be able to do the things I would like to do…like blogging.

The reason I decided to start my blog back again today is because I just spent an awesome weekend away with the high schoolers from our church at Quake/Zone. It was an awesome weekend worshiping, learning, and listening with and about God. I took away so much from that weekend and can’t wait to do more and learn more to bring me closer to the Lord.

One of the things we discussed was serving God. How can we serve God in our lives? There are so many ways by loving one another, by praying, by helping those in need, etc. The list goes could go on forever. The analogy that was used by the wonderful Pastor Bill Yonker was about a spoon (he has a whole story to go along with it but, I will give you the point). We use forks for stabbing things, knives for cutting things, but spoons we use for serving. It has been such an awesome analogy that I am forever going to be ‘’spooning” for God.

I pray each of us is able to “spoon” for our Lord. I also pray that I by going back into blogging and reading all the blogs that I used to follow will be my way of “spooning” for God.

Have a blessed day!
