Update

Wow, its been a long time since I have written on this and thought I would update. The two weeks leading up to Christmas were rough for me emotionally. Songs, memories, pictures, etc. would make me cry, but I only did my grieving in private. I held myself together in public. I was not looking forward to Christmas. I was actually not looking forward to going to stay with dad. We traveled down after work last Tuesday night. We got there late and stayed until Saturday. Once we got there, it finally felt right and Christmas Eve was a blast at the farm with the cousins. Christmas Day at Uncle Mike's turned out really relaxing and was good. So, overall, it was a very good Christmas and I am very thankful. God is so good to us and to me, I can barely stand it sometimes.

I hated leaving Bowling Green and my dad. Being at dad's is very comforting for me. Mom's stuff is there and there are cool pics of her around and its just where she used to be. But, I also know we are called by God to Louisville to work with youth and therefore moving to B.G. is NOT an option. We love our kids too much to leave them. God has made them as if they were our own and leaving them would be a huge disservice to them. We love them and they love us. Praise God.

Our youth ministry is going to take a huge turn this year and I will report more on that later. It is going to be soooooooo exciting. In the meantime be praying for us as we seek God for vision, ideas, and executing His will this year. We are so excited!

We are all doing well. Dad is so awesome. He hurts, as we all do. He seeks God daily and we seek support from one another and its a beautiful thing.

God is very present in our lives, despite the hurt and the grief. He is FAITHFUL.

This year I am focusing on the Gospels to learn more about my Savior. I want to emulate Him to the world and therefore, He led me to the best books ever, the books about His life on earth! I have already learned a lot!

His heart is about the Lost and therefore my heart needs to be about the same thing.

How is everyone?
How is your walk with God?
What things is God doing in your life?

I love you all and have a great week!

NChrist,
Susan
