So... life has been a whirlwind this past week. Even though it was a short week, it seemed to go on for years. And, so much happened. One of our sweet students at the school had a freak soccer accident and is in the hospital (check at http://joyportis.blogspot.com/) and I am praying for her constantly. One of our teachers had a baby, they are both struggling. The baby, last I heard is having seizures and they cannot figure out why... the mom has high bp and they can't get it to stay down. Pray for the Puckett's. And... some of my students have forgotten what it means to have a Christ like attitude, and how to treat others with the love and grace of Christ.
BUT, this weekend, has been good.... thus far. Leaving home at 10 AM I went to the nursing home this morning with a few of my favorite people in the whole wide world, got a hairs cut, went to the site of the Extreme Makeover Home Addition here in Montgomery, and didn't get home until 10 pm.... Good times.
Tomorrow I plan to join First Baptist Church.... and then waiting on a great adventure as I get plugged in there. It will be nice to have a church home again.
But all this to say... I love life.... more each day... but realize, it can all change in a moment of time. I, as a Christian, must be responsible for my own actions, leaving behind a legacy of purity, love, and respect for myself , those beside me, and those that will come behind me!

HOLIDAYS, Coffee, and friends
This has been a 4 day weekend! YAY for holidays! It has been a really relaxing weekend and I have been rather introspective. I have needed to do lots of cleaning... but that will come in time.
I figured out I get irritated when people assume you are uncomfortable with Valentines day if you are single. I am comfortable with my singleness... yes I would like to be married, but that will come in time (I hope :)). But why would I be uncomfortable with the place God has me at this moment in time... I don't wish for something someone else has... I want my own relationship... that is unique and special. So, for someone to be all ooey gooey with their significant other does not bother me in the least. I am happy for that couple... that they have found their mate. So, that is my soap box for Saturday.
I visited Vaughn Forest Baptist Church on Sunday... it was alright.... but I don't think that is where I need to be. I am leaning towards First Baptist, but still have a couple of churches I want to visit. I have ruled out several... I need someplace where I can plug into ministry... not necessarily student ministry, even though that is my love... I am doing that at the school. I see so many opportunities with the caring center... and from my experiences at College Ave. in FTW, I know I would enjoy vounteering there. Ideally I would be able to help out with the college ministry as well... maybe at some point in the future.
I had coffee with a friend today and just listened to him... I love good coffee and good conversation. The friendship that I have with this person is such a blessing.... He and his wife are a great encouragement to me... and he will probably never know that.
So... I have had a great 4 days of rest.... tomorrow.... it is back to the routine. At least for the next 4 weeks... because then it is time for SPRING BREAK!
