Hello Xanga people....I haven't posted in months. I get on this crazy thing and read other peoples but I never post. So I thought I would update just a little on what is going on in my life. Well what isn't going on. Let's see.....ummmmmmmmm....I am just working....taking care of McKenna...who by the way is sick right now.....fixing up the house.....like painting, cleaning up the backyard....etc. Well my parents I guess I have been looking at houses for months and months and I guess they have really found some nice ones they like. So they decided they want to finish updating our house a little and then see about moving. We looked at 2 different houses out in Prairie Highlands....but they sold. Mom and Dad were going to see what they could do on one of them.....but they want to get somethings done in ours right now so there was no way they could of gotten that house. Oh well, obviously it wasn't meant to be. But they have still been looking.

McKenna is taking a tap, jazz and ballet class right now. It is on Tuesday nights at 5:30. Her attention span is so short that she doesn't pay attention for even half the class. Oh well that is why I didn't put her into a Dance Studio yet. This is just an 8 week thing at the Shawnee Civic Center. So I don't know if I will put her in one until maybe next fall. Who knows. We might even try soccer. She is doing pretty good. She is potty training. There are times when she has accicidents, but most of the time she does really well. She has already been telling me what she wants Santa to bring for Christmas.

In my life......boy it has been hectic. To much stuff going on. All I know is I have to keep my head up high and keep pressing on. God is in control and God has favor on my life. I pray everyday for the Lord to give me strength and encouragement. I think a lot about what an encouragement I could be to some young lady someday who has or is in the same boat as me. The Devil try's me so much....he is trying to still my joy. But I have to tell the Devil enough is enough. He is not going to steal my joy. I have been struggling with a "trust" issue on a lot of stuff. Last night at Fire in the Plains, Alvin Slaughter felt led during the middle of one of his songs to interrupt and ask people who are having trust issues to stand....Service was just awesome. It sometimes is hard for me to give everything over to God and put my trust in him. But I know if I did that with everything, that he will take care of it. It says to "cast your cares upon Jesus." That is what he is there for. He doesn't want us to hurt, be poor, be sick, etc. I feel like "why have and are so many things bad happening to me?"  We all go through test and trials and storms. But I will ask..."why is this storm I am going through literally lasting for years?" When will it ever stop? Why, when I know and believe that I am doing what God would of done have people who are in Church turned against me, and why people are looking at me as the "bad guy" in this? Why???

Well I just wanted to share some of the things going on in my life. I know it was long, but it has been a long time since I have posted anything. Have a wonderful day and be blessed.

Heather brought the lettuce and tomatoes and Autry brought watermelon and the cheese and cristel provided taco shells and sour cream and her apartment. Then we watched Boogeyman. Autry and I were the only ones who had ever seen it. Then I fell asleep into the 2nd movie. Sunday I went to 1st service and then McKenna and I went to David's house. We hung out there until his parents came home. They got there a little after 1. Unfortantley McKenna and I had to leave around 3:00 because I had told a friend a couple of weeks ago I would come out and help with wedding invitations. So we went to Ottawa last night. We were going to get into the hot tub but since it was kind of raining...well the time we were going to get it it wasn't...but we decided not to even mess with it. Now it's Monday and I am at work. My parents and I are going to dinner tonight with the Autry's to talk about some stuff.  David just called my work to make sure it was still on and I said yes. We will have to see how this goes.
