thankful

Lord, I am thankful. I pray that my heart would constantly reflect an attitude of thanksgiving. My heart overflows with thankfulness for....

grace fellowship, my new church home

my family, who has supported me through life

leslie, my fun roommate and constant friend

boys-to-men and girlfriends, where my life has found its fit for ministry

friends, old and new whom You have used to help shape my life

carson, my favorite

provision, i stand in awe of all that You have provided and how You have chosen to do so

Your Word, it's truly a light for my path and lamp to my feet

laughter, hugs, smiles, warm pj's, football, thoughtful messages, mountains,

plane tickets to texas, yummy smelling candles, hot chocolate

Thank you, Father, for Your constant Love and Grace.

where has the time gone?

this fall is flying by as quickly as the leaves are falling off the trees. i was shocked as i looked on the calendar and saw that next week is thanksgiving!! yikes!! the past several weeks have been jam packed with "fallish" events. we took our group of students from mtn. city to a corn maze. we got lost in the maze, played in a haystack and took a couple of hayrides. lots of fun in the beautiful mountains of east tennessee! then there was the barn dance @ wiseman's farm with the Well. i got to drive a john deere tractor, pet some beautiful horses, and square danced to my heart's content....what a fun day! of course there has been a whole lot of football watchin' going on....come on Ags....no more 1-point losses. then, this past friday night, we had a lock-in for our mtn. city kiddos....it was a lot of fun! i am so blessed to work with such a great group of students. minus the lack of sleep, it was a great time for all!! here are a few photos to enjoy, you can see the rest at Kelly's Shots.

Hangin' out on the haystack...
