Someday Saturday

Callan's Mom came up with an idea for posts that I love called Someday Saturday. Make sure to check out her blog right here.


Someday...

I'll get married and have kids (if it's in God's plan for me.) But if it never happens, I will still love Him and praise Him.

Everyone should see the movie "Facing the Giants". I saw it last night with some friends from church and I was reminded of some of my own struggles with faith and with standing up to the 'giants' in my own life. One giant that has been laughing in my face and daring me to fight has been faith in God that I do deserve and will have in His time, a man who I can spend my life with and someday raise children with.

So, as of today, before all of you, I declare that I'm ready to fight the good fight of faith. I can't promise myself no more tears, but I promise that I'll turn to Him for comfort. I can't promise myself that I won't continue to think about it, but I promise to pray diligently and faithfully and praise Him no matter what.

What do you see in your own "Someday"?

Ministry!

I just had a great time serving in "kids church". I really do love our kids and always have fun when I'm on the schedule. Today the kids were especially great. Not too wild (though they had their moments of course) and actually listening as we taught about Paul (the older kids were particularly interested in hearing more about Saul's persecution of Christians and the fact that God changed his name, lol.)

So today as I give thanks, I'm especially thankful for the opportunity to learn more about teaching children through my experience at church. I'm also thankful for a great group of kids and parents. And lastly, that God is helping me to grow in patience and character through the children's antics (often very funny later on, though not so much in the actual moments!)
