last night we had a coming home type party for pfc micah krishnan. he has returned from basic and will attend weber while continuing his rotc. it was also a party for ryan who is home for a week before he returns to n.c. to work and go to school. the lovely meredith is also in town, so it was a fun evening. we did dutch-oven cooking in the krishnan's secret bbq area on the side of their house. i have some pictures, but it wasn't working, so maybe sarah can post them. sorry! have a great day.
praise You in this storm
i was sure by now
God you would have reached down
and wiped our tears away
stepped in and saved the day.
but once again, i say amen
that it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
i barely hear you whisper through the rain,
I'm with you
and as your mercy falls
i raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away.
and i'll praise you in this storm,
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where i am
and every tear i've cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
i will praise you in this storm
i remember when
i stumbled in the wind
you heard my cry
you raised me up again
my strength is almost gone
how can i carry on
if i can't find you
as the thunder rolls
i barely hear you whisper through the rain,
I'm with you
and as your mercy falls
i raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away.
and i'll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where i am
and every tear i've cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
i will praise you in this storm
i lift my eyes unto the hills,
where does my help come from?
my help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth
and though my heart is torn
i will praise you in this storm.

the calm before the storm
friday, i went to the spa! that's right, sego lily day spa, and it was wonderful. the cheerleaders at chs chipped in and bought me a gift certificate for the end of the season, so thanks girls. i decided to use it right before i started work, so tomorrow i start work, but my face, back and toes are happy! i am happy to start work, don't get me wrong, but i know it is going to be hard and a bit stressful, thus the spa trip.
i also got a hair cut and eyebrow wax that same day. so the total body experience went from 9am to 2pm. it was the most time i have ever spent doing those types of things in one day, how great.
to get away from the trivial and useless, i would like to know your plans this fall. whether it be school, a new job, the same job, moving, staying, whatever. just leave me a comment, and i would love to know. as for me and pete, pete is going back to school for his final semester of his masters, i am teaching 3 classes at christian heritage high, and taking 7 credits of my teaching certificate (estimated time of completion, next fall). that is what we are up to, your turn.
God bless you, and we will be having a bbq soon, this weekend or the second weekend of september. i'll let you know.
by the way melissa, pete and terry are going to a conference at john piper's church sept. 29-oct. 1, i'm not sure if i can get work off or not, but they might be calling for a place to stay, hope you guys are loving your new place and town. see ya

what makes for peace?
romans, that is what i have been reading from the Bible lately. today is romans 14, verse 17-19 in particular.
"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding."
to pursue what makes for peace is a tough thing to think about. because so often i search for my own way which does not lead to peace. think about what makes for peace, and pursue it, even today!

hey, i'm back to blogging! our lives have changed quite a bit in the last week, thus my abscence from the internet.
we are now in our new house! yeah, all moved in except for a couple boxes. so thank-you to my parents and pete's parents, krishnan's, lanie and josh, both grandparents (peters and gomperts) aunt lori, mike, glendon, mat, seth, sarah. also those who helped move boxes, the same above, and jesse, brock, whitney, kelli, sabrina and travis, terry, suzy, carnahans, and mindy. we are so grateful for your help in our crazy extreme home makeover!
we are truly blessed to have so many friends and relatives to help pete and i finally move in. it was better than any television make- over show even without ty pennington. micah, we wish you were here, but you can help us add a wrap-around porch some day!
i start work officially on monday the 14th. i am teaching one 9th grade geography, one 10th grade world civilizations, and the jr. high life skills class. i'm not into the planning enough to be scared yet, but i will be by tomorrow.
pray for me to be able to do a good job teaching those kids and pray that i can be a light for God while i'm there. i also want to be better at managing my time and continue working out.
thanks for being a part of our lives, we are going to have an open house type bbq so you can see our new house! sometime around aug. 19th. i'll tell you more later
